Support the pattern where an unbounded scalar is spilled to the stack, then boundary checks are performed on the src register, after which the stack frame slot is refilled into a register. Before this commit, the verifier didn't treat the src register and the stack slot as related if the src register was an unbounded scalar. The register state wasn't copied, the id wasn't preserved, and the stack slot was marked as STACK_MISC. Subsequent boundary checks on the src register wouldn't result in updating the boundaries of the spilled variable on the stack. After this commit, the verifier will preserve the bond between src and dst even if src is unbounded, which permits to do boundary checks on src and refill dst later, still remembering its boundaries. Such a pattern is sometimes generated by clang when compiling complex long functions. One test is adjusted to reflect that now unbounded scalars are tracked.

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.
