Can you elaborate on the "it seems bad for some users" part? What's the
concrete

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for the late reply.

I saw the following two similar patches, some users want to set
bpf_jit_enable to 1 by default, at the same time, they want to
change it to 0 or 2 to debug, only enable CONFIG_BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON
is a proper way in such a case.

[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: trace jit code when enable BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210326124030.1138964-1-Jianlin.Lv@xxxxxxx/

[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: support bpf_jit_enable=2 for CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211231153550.3807430-1-houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx/


use case? Also, why not add (e.g. mips) JIT to ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT
if the
CI suite passes with high degree/confidence?

Yes, we can let the specific arch select ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT in Kconfig, this commit only gives another chance to enable or disable CONFIG_BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON manually when make menuconfig, this is useful
to debug when develop JIT.


can select ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT for those archs if it is proper,
but at least for now, make BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON selectable can give them
a chance.

Additionally, with this patch, under !BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON, we can disable
BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON on the archs with ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT when make
menuconfig, it seems flexible for some developers.

After add

  default y if ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT || BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON

under !ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT, when enable CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
manually through make menuconfig, CONFIG_BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON is not set
automatically, it seems not reasonable, but I do not know the reason,
maybe this is because CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is user selectable rather
than selected via Kconfig only (like ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT), so here
let BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON select BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON.


+    depends on BPF_SYSCALL && HAVE_EBPF_JIT && BPF_JIT

Why is the extra BPF_SYSCALL dependency needed? You could still have
this for cBPF->eBPF
translations when BPF syscall is compiled out (e.g. seccomp, sock/packet
filters, etc).

Sorry, just copy-paste from "config BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON".

If BPF_SYSCALL dependency is not needed by BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON,
should we remove BPF_SYSCALL dependency in "config BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON"?

Thanks,
Tiezhu
