We tried your suggestion (setting the bounds to be completely unbounded).
This would indeed make the abstract operator scalar(32)_min_max_and
sound. However, we found (through Agni and SMT verification) that our patch is
more precise than just unconditionally setting the signed bounds to unbounded
[S32_MIN/S32_MAX], [S64_MIN,S64_MAX].

For example, consider these inputs to BPF_AND:

dst_reg
-----------------------------------------
var_off.value: 8608032320201083347
var_off.mask: 615339716653692460
smin_value: 8070450532247928832
smax_value: 8070450532247928832
umin_value: 13206380674380886586
umax_value: 13206380674380886586
s32_min_value: -2110561598
s32_max_value: -133438816
u32_min_value: 4135055354
u32_max_value: 4135055354

src_reg
-----------------------------------------
var_off.value: 8584102546103074815
var_off.mask: 9862641527606476800
smin_value: 2920655011908158522
smax_value: 7495731535348625717
umin_value: 7001104867969363969
umax_value: 8584102543730304042
s32_min_value: -2097116671
s32_max_value: 71704632
u32_min_value: 1047457619
u32_max_value: 4268683090

After going through
tnum_and() -> scalar32_min_max_and() -> scalar_min_max_and() ->
reg_bounds_sync()

Our patch produces the following bounds for s32:
s32_min_value: -1263875629
s32_max_value: -159911942

Whereas, setting the signed bounds to unbounded in
scalar(32)_min_max_and produces:
s32_min_value: -1263875629
s32_max_value: -1

Our patch produces a tighter bound as you can see. We also confirmed
using SMT that
our patch always produces signed bounds that are equal to or more
precise than setting
the signed bounds to unbounded in scalar(32)_min_max_and.

Admittedly, this is a contrived example. It is likely the case that
such precision
gains are never realized in an actual BPF program.

Overall, both the fixes are sound. We're happy to send a patch for
either of them.
