So, I've added these committer notes while testing it, will continue
processing your patches later/tomorrow, thanks!
Committer notes:
Testing it using a perf.data file and vmlinux for powerpc64,
cross-annotating it on a x86_64 workstation:
Before:
.__bpf_prog_run vmlinux.powerpc
│ std r10,512(r9) ▒
│ lbz r9,0(r31) ▒
│ rldicr r9,r9,3,60 ▒
│ ldx r9,r30,r9 ▒
│ mtctr r9 ▒
100.00 │ ↓ bctr 3fffffffffe01510 ▒
│ lwa r10,4(r31) ▒
│ lwz r9,0(r31) ▒
<SNIP>
Invalid jump offset: 3fffffffffe01510
After:
.__bpf_prog_run vmlinux.powerpc
│ std r10,512(r9) ▒
│ lbz r9,0(r31) ▒
│ rldicr r9,r9,3,60 ▒
│ ldx r9,r30,r9 ▒
│ mtctr r9 ▒
100.00 │ ↓ bctr ▒
│ lwa r10,4(r31) ▒
│ lwz r9,0(r31) ▒
<SNIP>
Invalid jump offset: 3fffffffffe01510
This, in turn, uncovers another problem with jumps without operands, the
ENTER/-> operation, to jump to the target, still continues using the bogus
target :-)
BTW, this was the file used for the above tests:
