 * r5 += 1
 * ...
 * call bpf_perf_event_output#25
 *   where .arg5_type = ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
 *
 * and this case:
 * r6 = 1
 * call foo // uses callee's r6 inside to compute r0
 * r0 += r6
 * if r0 == 0 goto
 *
 * to track above reg_mask/stack_mask needs to be independent for each frame.
 *
 * Also if parent's curframe > frame where backtracking started,
 * the verifier need to mark registers in both frames, otherwise callees
 * may incorrectly prune callers. This is similar to
 * commit 7640ead93924 ("bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune with caller differences")
 *

/*
 * bpf_mark_chain_precision() backtracks BPF program instruction sequence and
 * chain of verifier states making sure that register *regno* (if regno >= 0)
 * and/or stack slot *spi* (if spi >= 0) are marked as precisely tracked
 * SCALARS, as well as any other registers and slots that contribute to
 * a tracked state of given registers/stack slots, depending on specific BPF
 * assembly instructions (see backtrack_insns() for exact instruction handling
 * logic). This backtracking relies on recorded jmp_history and is able to
 * traverse entire chain of parent states. This process ends only when all the
 * necessary registers/slots and their transitive dependencies are marked as
 * precise.
 *
 * One important and subtle aspect is that precise marks *do not matter* in
 * the currently verified state (current state). It is important to understand
 * why this is the case.
 *
 * First, note that current state is the state that is not yet "checkpointed",
 * i.e., it is not yet put into env->explored_states, and it has no children
 * states as well. It's ephemeral, and can end up either a) being discarded if
 * compatible explored state is found at some point or BPF_EXIT instruction is
 * reached or b) checkpointed and put into env->explored_states, branching out
 * into one or more children states.
 *
 * In the former case, precise markings in current state are completely
 * ignored by state comparison code (see regsafe() for details). Only
 * checkpointed ("old") state precise markings are important, and if old
 * state's register/slot is precise, regsafe() assumes current state's
 * register/slot as precise and checks value ranges exactly and precisely. If
 * states turn out to be compatible, current state's necessary precise
 * markings and any required parent states' precise markings are enforced
 * after the fact with propagate_precision() logic, after the fact. But it's
 * important to realize that in this case, even after marking current state
 * registers/slots as precise, we immediately discard current state. So what
 * actually matters is any of the precise markings propagated into current
 * state's parent states, which are always checkpointed (due to b) case above).
 * As such, for scenario a) it doesn't matter if current state has precise
 * markings set or not.
 *
 * Now, for the scenario b), checkpointing and forking into child(ren)
 * state(s). Note that before current state gets to checkpointing step, any
 * processed instruction always assumes precise SCALAR register/slot
 * knowledge: if precise value or range is useful to prune jump branch, BPF
 * verifier takes this opportunity enthusiastically. Similarly, when
 * register's value is used to calculate offset or memory address, exact
 * knowledge of SCALAR range is assumed, checked, and enforced. So, similar to
 * what we mentioned above about state comparison ignoring precise markings
 * during state comparison, BPF verifier ignores and also assumes precise
 * markings *at will* during instruction verification process. But as verifier
 * assumes precision, it also propagates any precision dependencies across
 * parent states, which are not yet finalized, so can be further restricted
 * based on new knowledge gained from restrictions enforced by their children
 * states. This is so that once those parent states are finalized, i.e., when
 * they have no more active children state, state comparison logic in
 * is_state_visited() would enforce strict and precise SCALAR ranges, if
 * required for correctness.
 *
 * To build a bit more intuition, note also that once a state is checkpointed,
 * the path we took to get to that state is not important. This is crucial
 * property for state pruning. When state is checkpointed and finalized at
 * some instruction index, it can be correctly and safely used to "short
 * circuit" any *compatible* state that reaches exactly the same instruction
 * index. I.e., if we jumped to that instruction from a completely different
 * code path than original finalized state was derived from, it doesn't
 * matter, current state can be discarded because from that instruction
 * forward having a compatible state will ensure we will safely reach the
 * exit. States describe preconditions for further exploration, but completely
 * forget the history of how we got here.
 *
 * This also means that even if we needed precise SCALAR range to get to
 * finalized state, but from that point forward *that same* SCALAR register is
 * never used in a precise context (i.e., it's precise value is not needed for
 * correctness), it's correct and safe to mark such register as "imprecise"
 * (i.e., precise marking set to false). This is what we rely on when we do
 * not set precise marking in current state. If no child state requires
 * precision for any given SCALAR register, it's safe to dictate that it can
 * be imprecise. If any child state does require this register to be precise,
 * we'll mark it precise later retroactively during precise markings
 * propagation from child state to parent states.
 *
 * Skipping precise marking setting in current state is a mild version of
 * relying on the above observation. But we can utilize this property even
 * more aggressively by proactively forgetting any precise marking in the
 * current state (which we inherited from the parent state), right before we
 * checkpoint it and branch off into new child state. This is done by
 * mark_all_scalars_imprecise() to hopefully get more permissive and generic
 * finalized states which help in short circuiting more future states.
