This patch adds tests for the verifier's tracking for spilled, <8B registers. The first two test cases ensure the verifier doesn't incorrectly prune states in case of <8B spill/fills. The last one simply checks that a filled u64 register is marked unknown if the register spilled in the same slack slot was less than 8B. The map value access at the end of the first program is only incorrect for the path R6=32. If the precision bit for register R8 isn't backtracked through the u32 spill/fill, the R6=32 path is pruned at instruction 9 and the program is incorrectly accepted. The second program is a variation of the same with u32 spills and a u64 fill. The additional instructions to introduce the first pruning point may be a bit fragile as they depend on the heuristics for pruning points in the verifier (currently at least 8 instructions and 2 jumps). If the heuristics are changed, the pruning point may move (e.g., to the subsequent jump) or disappear, which would cause the test to always pass.

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.
