When determining if an if/else branch will always or never be taken, use signed range knowledge in addition to currently used unsigned range knowledge. If either signed or unsigned range suggests that condition is always/never taken, return corresponding branch_taken verdict. Current use of unsigned range for this seems arbitrary and unnecessarily incomplete. It is possible for *signed* operations to be performed on register, which could "invalidate" unsigned range for that register. In such case branch_taken will be artificially useless, even if we can still tell that some constant is outside of register value range based on its signed bounds. veristat-based validation shows zero differences across selftests, Cilium, and Meta-internal BPF object files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
