Sandipan Das 8484ce8306 bpf: powerpc64: add JIT support for multi-function programs
This adds support for bpf-to-bpf function calls in the powerpc64
JIT compiler. The JIT compiler converts the bpf call instructions
to native branch instructions. After a round of the usual passes,
the start addresses of the JITed images for the callee functions
are known. Finally, to fixup the branch target addresses, we need
to perform an extra pass.

Because of the address range in which JITed images are allocated
on powerpc64, the offsets of the start addresses of these images
from __bpf_call_base are as large as 64 bits. So, for a function
call, we cannot use the imm field of the instruction to determine
the callee's address. Instead, we use the alternative method of
getting it from the list of function addresses in the auxiliary
data of the caller by using the off field as an index.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
