bpf: Support negative offsets, BPF_SUB, and alu32 for linked register tracking
Previously, the verifier only tracked positive constant deltas between linked registers using BPF_ADD. This limitation meant patterns like: r1 = r0; r1 += -4; if r1 s>= 0 goto l0_%=; // r1 >= 0 implies r0 >= 4 // verifier couldn't propagate bounds back to r0 if r0 != 0 goto l0_%=; r0 /= 0; // Verifier thinks this is reachable l0_%=: Similar limitation exists for 32-bit registers. With this change, the verifier can now track negative deltas in reg->off enabling bound propagation for the above pattern. For alu32, we make sure the destination register has the upper 32 bits as 0s before creating the link. BPF_ADD_CONST is split into BPF_ADD_CONST64 and BPF_ADD_CONST32, the latter is used in case of alu32 and sync_linked_regs uses this to zext the result if known_reg has this flag.
