Alexei Starovoitov 8fe2d6ccd5 bpf: fix liveness marking
while processing Rx = Ry instruction the verifier does
regs[insn->dst_reg] = regs[insn->src_reg]
which often clears write mark (when Ry doesn't have it)
that was just set by check_reg_arg(Rx) prior to the assignment.
That causes mark_reg_read() to keep marking Rx in this block as
REG_LIVE_READ (since the logic incorrectly misses that it's
screened by the write) and in many of its parents (until lucky
write into the same Rx or beginning of the program).
That causes is_state_visited() logic to miss many pruning opportunities.

Furthermore mark_reg_read() logic propagates the read mark
for BPF_REG_FP as well (though it's readonly) which causes
harmless but unnecssary work during is_state_visited().
Note that do_propagate_liveness() skips FP correctly,
so do the same in mark_reg_read() as well.
It saves 0.2 seconds for the test below

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
