This patch series introduces support for the PROBE_MEM32,
bpf_addr_space_cast and PROBE_ATOMIC instructions in the powerpc BPF JIT,
facilitating the implementation of BPF arena and arena atomics.

All selftests related to bpf_arena, bpf_arena_atomic(except
load_acquire/store_release) enablement are passing:

Changes since v2:
* Dropped arena_spin_lock selftest fix patch from the patchset as it has
  to go via bpf-next while these changes will go via powerpc tree.

v2:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250829165135.1273071-1-skb99@linux.ibm.com/

Changes since v1:

Addressed comments from Chris:
* Squashed introduction of bpf_jit_emit_probe_mem_store() and its usage in
  one patch.
* Defined and used PPC_RAW_RLDICL_DOT to avoid the CMPDI.
* Removed conditional statement for fixup[0] = PPC_RAW_LI(dst_reg, 0);
* Indicated this change is limited to powerpc64 in subject.

Addressed comments from Alexei:
* Removed skel->rodata->nr_cpus = get_nprocs() and its usage to get
  currently online cpus(as it needs to be updated from userspace).

Addressed comments from Hari:
* Updated the bpf jit stack layout and associated macros to accommodate
  new NVR.

v1:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250805062747.3479221-1-skb99@linux.ibm.com/
