bpf: ensure that r0 is marked scratched after any function call
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
r0 is important (unless called function is void-returning, but that's
taken care of by print_verifier_state() anyways) in verifier logs.
Currently for helpers we seem to print it in verifier log, but for
kfuncs we don't.

Instead of figuring out where in the maze of code we accidentally set r0
as scratched for helpers and why we don't do that for kfuncs, just
enforce that after any function call r0 is marked as scratched.

Also, perhaps, we should reconsider "scratched" terminology, as it's
mightily confusing. "Touched" would seem more appropriate. But I left
that for follow ups for now.
