<br />
The problem here is that a range of tnum_range(0, map->max_entries - 1) has<br />
limited ability to represent the concrete tight range with the tnum as the<br />
set of resulting states from value + mask can result in a superset of the<br />
actual intended range, and as such a tnum_in(range, reg->var_off) check may<br />
yield true when it shouldn&#39;t, for example tnum_range(0, 2) would result in<br />
00XX -> v = 0000, m = 0011 such that the intended set of {0, 1, 2} is here<br />
represented by a less precise superset of {0, 1, 2, 3}. As the register is<br />
known const scalar, really just use the concrete reg->var_off.value for the<br />
upper index check.
