[PATCH 4.19 044/116] bpf: extend is_branch_taken to registers

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fb8d251ee2a6bf4d7f4af5548e9c8f4fb5f90402 upstream

This patch extends is_branch_taken() logic from JMP+K instructions
to JMP+X instructions.
Conditional branches are often done when src and dst registers
contain known scalars. In such case the verifier can follow
the branch that is going to be taken when program executes.
That speeds up the verification and is essential feature to support
bounded loops.

[OP: drop is_jmp32 parameter from is_branch_taken() calls and
adjust context]
