The test added is a simplified reproducer from syzbot report [1]. If verifier does not insert checkpoint somewhere inside the loop, verification of the program would take a very long time. This would happen because mark_chain_precision() for register r7 would constantly trace jump history of the loop back, processing many iterations for each mark_chain_precision() call.
