[RFC] Implementing the BPF dispatcher on ARM64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I am starting this thread to know if someone is implementing the BPF
dispatcher for ARM64 and if not, what would be needed to make this
happen.

The basic infra + x86 specific code was introduced in [1] by Björn Töpel.

To make BPF dispatcher work on ARM64, the
arch_prepare_bpf_dispatcher() has to be implemented in
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c.

As I am not well versed with XDP and the JIT, I have a few questions
regarding this.

1. What is the best way to test this? Is there a selftest that will
fail now and will pass once the dispatcher is implemented?
2. As there is no CONFIG_RETPOLINE in ARM64, will the dispatcher be useful.
