With current ALU32 subreg handling and retval refine fix from last patches we see an expected failure in test_verifier. With verbose verifier state being printed at each step for clarity we have the following relavent lines [I omit register states that are not necessarily useful to see failure cause], #101/p bpf_get_stack return R0 within range FAIL Failed to load prog 'Success'!

This is to be expected bpf_get_stack call can only return a max of the input size but is free to return any negative error in the 32-bit register space. And further C signature returns 'int' which provides no guarantee on the upper 32-bits of the register. Lines 17 and 18 clear the top 32 bits with a left/right shift but use ARSH so we still have worst case min bound before line 19 of -2147483648. At this point the signed check 'r1 s< r8' meant to protect the addition on line 22 where dst reg is a map_value pointer may very well return true with a large negative number. Then the final line 22 will detect this as an invalid operation and fail the program. To fix add a signed less than check to ensure r8 is greater than 0 at line 19 so the bounds check works as expected. Programs _must_ check for negative return codes or they will fail to load now. But on the other hand they were buggy before so for correctness the check really is needed.
