bpf: improve verifier liveness marks
registers with pointers filled from stack were missing live_written marks which caused liveness propagation to unnecessary mark more registers as live_read and miss state pruning opportunities later on. before after bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o 2285 2270 bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o 3723 3682 bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o 1110 1110 bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o 27954 27876 bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o 38954 38780 bpf_netdev.o 16943 16937 bpf_overlay.o 7929 7929 Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
