the verifier got progressively smarter over time and size of its internal state grew as well. Time to reduce the memory consumption. Before: sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) = 6520 After: sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) = 896 It's done by observing that majority of BPF programs use little to no stack whereas verifier kept all of 512 stack slots ready always. Instead dynamically reallocate struct verifier state when stack access is detected. Runtime difference before vs after is within a noise. The number of processed instructions stays the same.
