Propagate nullness information for branches of register to register equality compare instructions. The following rules are used: - suppose register A maybe null - suppose register B is not null - for JNE A, B, ... - A is not null in the false branch - for JEQ A, B, ... - A is not null in the true branch E.g. for program like below: r6 = skb->sk; r7 = sk_fullsock(r6); r0 = sk_fullsock(r6); if (r0 == 0) return 0; (a) if (r0 != r7) return 0; (b) *r7->type; (c) return 0; It is safe to dereference r7 at point (c), because of (a) and (b).

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
