Hi! This series contain one non-critical fix, support for far jumps. and some optimizations for the BPF JIT. Previously, the JIT only supported 12b branch targets for conditional branches, and 21b for unconditional branches. Starting with this series, 32b branching is supported. As part of supporting far jumps, branch relaxation was introduced. The idea is to start with a pessimistic jump (e.g. auipc/jalr) and for each pass the JIT will have an opportunity to pick a better instruction (e.g. jal) and shrink the image. Instead of two passes, the JIT requires more passes. It typically converges after 3 passes. The optimizations mentioned in the subject are for calls and tail calls. In the tail call generation we can save one instruction by using the offset in jalr. Calls are optimized by doing (auipc)/jal(r) relative jumps instead of loading the entire absolute address and doing jalr. This required that the JIT image allocator was made RISC-V specific, so we can ensure that the JIT image and the kernel text are in range (32b). The last two patches of the series is not critical to the series, but are two UAPI build issues for BPF events. A closer look from the RV-folks would be much appreciated. The test_bpf.ko module, selftests/bpf/test_verifier and selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf pass all tests. RISC-V is still missing proper kprobe and tracepoint support, so a lot of BPF selftests cannot be run.
