bpf: Fix pointer arithmetic mask tightening under state pruning
In 7fedb63a ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic mask") we narrowed the offset mask for unprivileged pointer arithmetic in order to mitigate a corner case where in the speculative domain it is possible to advance, for example, the map value pointer by up to value_size-1 out-of- bounds in order to leak kernel memory via side-channel to user space. The verifier's state pruning for scalars leaves one corner case open where in the first verification path R_x holds an unknown scalar with an aux->alu_limit of e.g. 7, and in a second verification path that same register R_x, here denoted as R_x', holds an unknown scalar which has tighter bounds and would thus satisfy range_within(R_x, R_x') as well as tnum_in(R_x, R_x') for state pruning, yielding an aux->alu_limit of 3: Given the second path fits the register constraints for pruning, the final generated mask from aux->alu_limit will remain at 7. While technically not wrong for the non-speculative domain, it would however be possible to craft similar cases where the mask would be too wide as in 7fedb63a. One way to fix it is to detect the presence of unknown scalar map pointer arithmetic and force a deeper search on unknown scalars to ensure that we do not run into a masking mismatch.
