When do experiments with llvm (disabling instcombine and

   w2 = w7
   ; R2_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
   w2 -= w1
   R2 32-bit pointer arithmetic prohibited

The corresponding source code is:
   uint32_t srh_off
   // srh and skb->data are all packet pointers
   srh_off = (char *)srh - (char *)(long)skb->data;

The verifier does not support 32-bit pointer/scalar arithmetic.

Without my llvm change, the code looks like

   ; R3=pkt(id=0,off=40,r=48,imm=0), R8=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=48,imm=0)
   w3 -= w8
   ; R3_w=inv(id=0)

This is explicitly allowed in verifier if both registers are
pointers and the opcode is BPF_SUB.

To fix this problem, I changed the verifier to allow
32-bit pointer/scaler BPF_SUB operations.

At the source level, the issue could be workarounded with
inline asm or changing "uint32_t srh_off" to "uint64_t srh_off".
But I feel that verifier change might be the right thing to do.

Looks good, both applied, thanks!

We could have also allowed ADD case while at it, but ok either way. Wrt pointer
sanitation, nothing additional seems to be needed here as we 'destroy' the reg
to fully unknown.

  		verbose(env,
  			"R%d 32-bit pointer arithmetic prohibited\n",
