Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== bpf: add search pruning optimization and tests patch #1 commit log explains why eBPF verifier has to examine some instructions multiple times and describes the search pruning optimization that improves verification speed for branchy programs and allows more complex programs to be verified successfully. This patch completes the core verifier logic. patch #2 adds more verifier tests related to branches and search pruning I'm still working on Andy's 'bitmask for stack slots' suggestion. It will be done on top of this patch. The current verifier algorithm is brute force depth first search with state pruning. If anyone can come up with another algorithm that demonstrates better results, we'll replace the algorithm without affecting user space. Note verifier doesn't guarantee that all possible valid programs are accepted. Overly complex programs may still be rejected. Verifier improvements/optimizations will guarantee that if a program was passing verification in the past, it will still be passing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
