Ok, I let it run getting what the verifier provides (smin/smax).

smin_value = 0xffffffff, smax_value = 0xffffffff,
s32_min_value = 0xffffffff, s32_max_value = 0xffffffff,
Invalid R0, cannot return > 1
#10      bpf_cookie:FAIL

Invalid R0, cannot return 1

smin_value = 0xffffffff, smax_value = 0xffffffff,
s32_min_value = 0xffffffff, s32_max_value = 0xffffffff,

#212     test_lsm:FAIL

As you can see, these tests fail because smin or smax are positive
values.

I kept the selftest patches. In test_lsm, for example, ret is a
parameter, populated by previous eBPF programs. In this case, I added
an additional check to explicitly reject positive values.

	__mark_reg_known(regs + insn->dst_reg,
			 (u32)insn->imm);

This prevents smin/smax from being negative. But I know that this was
patched by Jann Horn. Remembering the endianness of the operation,
makes it clear what register value you should use.

This is in check_return_code(), for BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM.

R0.

s32_min_value/s32_max_value are the values we should get.
