Edward Cree dc503a8ad9 bpf/verifier: track liveness for pruning
State of a register doesn't matter if it wasn't read in reaching an exit;
 a write screens off all reads downstream of it from all explored_states
 upstream of it.
This allows us to prune many more branches; here are some processed insn
 counts for some Cilium programs:
Program                  before  after
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L3.o       6515   3361
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L4.o       8976   5176
bpf_lb_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o     2960   1137
bpf_lxc_opt_-DDROP_ALL.o  95412  48537
bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o  141706  78718
bpf_netdev.o              24251  17995
bpf_overlay.o             10999   9385

The runtime is also improved; here are 'time' results in ms:
Program                  before  after
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L3.o         24      6
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L4.o         26     11
bpf_lb_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o       11      2
bpf_lxc_opt_-DDROP_ALL.o   1288    139
bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o    1768    234
bpf_netdev.o                 62     31
bpf_overlay.o                15     13

README

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.
