Zac reported a verification failure and Alexei reproduced the issue with a simple reproducer ([1]). The verification failure is due to missed setting for var_off. The following is the reproducer in [1]: 0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0 0: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r10 -387) ; R3_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff)) R10=fp0 1: (bc) w7 = (s8)w3 ; R3_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff)) R7_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=127,var_off=(0x0; 0x7f)) 2: (36) if w7 >= 0x2533823b goto pc-3 mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 2 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1 mark_precise: frame0: regs=r7 stack= before 1: (bc) w7 = (s8)w3 mark_precise: frame0: regs=r3 stack= before 0: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r10 -387) 2: R7_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=127,var_off=(0x0; 0x7f)) 3: (b4) w0 = 0 ; R0_w=0 4: (95) exit Note that after insn 1, the var_off for R7 is (0x0; 0x7f). This is not correct since upper 24 bits of w7 could be 0 or 1. So correct var_off should be (0x0; 0xffffffff). Missing var_off setting in set_sext32_default_val() caused later incorrect analysis in zext_32_to_64(dst_reg) and reg_bounds_sync(dst_reg). To fix the issue, set var_off correctly in set_sext32_default_val(). The correct reg state after insn 1 becomes: 1: (bc) w7 = (s8)w3 ; R3_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff)) R7_w=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,smin32=-128,smax32=127,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) and at insn 2, the verifier correctly determines either branch is possible.
