Linux kernel source tree

Current infinite loops detection mechanism is speculative:
- first, states_maybe_looping() check is done which simply does memcmp
for R1-R10 in current frame;
- second, states_equal(..., exact=false) is called. With exact=false
states_equal() would compare scalars for equality only if in old
state scalar has precision mark.
Such logic might be problematic if compiler makes some unlucky stack
spill/fill decisions. An artificial example of a false positive looks
as follows:
r0 = ... unknown scalar ...
r0 &= 0xff;
*(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r0;
r0 = 0;
loop:
r0 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8);
if r0 > 10 goto exit_;
r0 += 1;
*(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r0;
r0 = 0;
goto loop;
This commit updates call to states_equal to use exact=true, forcing
all scalar comparisons to be exact.

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.
