Add a verifier test that leaves the raw tracepoint context pointer in R1
when calling bpf_loop(). This is the smallest trigger for the incorrect
precision backtracking: it reuses an existing callback and needs no maps or
userspace setup.

Expect an ordinary scalar-type rejection. Without the verifier fix, the
test instead reaches precision backtracking and reports an internal
"backtracking misuse" error.

check_func_arg() allows bpf_register_is_null() for nullable arguments
w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint
created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value.

check_helper_call() enforces second parameter of the
bpf_get_local_storage() to be zero, w/o marking the underlying scalar
register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would
prune against arbitrary scalar value.

Grouping these two into one patch, as they share the same fixes tag.

Add load-only timer_mim coverage for inner map identities propagated
through nested timer and bpf_for_each_map_elem() callbacks.

The negative case initializes a timer in the second inner map with the map
saved from the first inner map timer callback. The positive case pairs the
timer value with the map supplied to the same for-each callback.

Without the verifier fix, the mismatched-map program is accepted while the
same-map control is rejected. Preserving map_uid reverses both verdicts.

Add a verifier regression where an imprecise zero scalar reaches a kptr
store first and a nonzero scalar reaches the same instruction on a second
path.

Without the corresponding verifier fix, the second path is pruned and the
program is unexpectedly accepted. With the fix, the scalar range is
compared and the invalid store is rejected.

Resizable hash-map updates and deletions must not perform full special-field
destruction in their caller context. In particular, a referenced kptr must
remain attached to the allocation until the memory allocator destructor can
release it safely.

Add separate coverage for both affected paths. The update test stores a task
kptr, replaces the ordinary value bytes with BPF_EXIST, and verifies that the
kptr survived. The delete test removes an element and exchanges its kptr
through the still-valid map-value pointer before the allocation is reclaimed.

Both cases observe a NULL kptr when rhtab uses bpf_obj_free_fields(). They
recover and release the reference after rhtab switches to cancellation
semantics.

Exercise the rhtab special-field lifecycle with the sequence from the
original report. A bpf_for_each_map_elem() callback deletes the sole
element, then initializes and arms a timer through the callback value
pointer while it remains valid.

Use a one-element map and pin userspace and BPF execution to one CPU.
Repeated delete-and-replace cycles drain the per-CPU allocator cache, and
periodic RCU synchronization makes the deleted units available for
recycling.

After each replacement, a second BPF program calls bpf_timer_cancel()
on its value. A successful cancellation proves both that a timer-bearing
unit was recycled and that insertion preserved the timer field. Without
the fix, insertion clears that field and cancellation keeps returning
-EINVAL. A long expiration keeps the timer callback out of the test, so
the regression is detected without accessing freed memory.
