Add simple sanity checks that validate well-formed ranges (min <= max) across u64, s64, u32, and s32 ranges. Also for cases when the value is constant (either 64-bit or 32-bit), we validate that ranges and tnums are in agreement. These bounds checks are performed at the end of BPF_ALU/BPF_ALU64 operations, on conditional jumps, and for LDX instructions (where subreg zero/sign extension is probably the most important to check). This covers most of the interesting cases. Also, we validate the sanity of the return register when manually adjusting it for some special helpers. By default, sanity violation will trigger a warning in verifier log and resetting register bounds to "unbounded" ones. But to aid development and debugging, BPF_F_TEST_SANITY_STRICT flag is added, which will trigger hard failure of verification with -EFAULT on register bounds violations. This allows selftests to catch such issues. veristat will also gain a CLI option to enable this behavior.

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.
