Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 4/4] ARM: 9477/1: Disable broken eBPF JIT on the Risc PC
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 08:20:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908122026.2052281-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908122026.2052281-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Ethan Nelson-Moore <enelsonmoore@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 7e8ee82e69fde9d589272ec5e6f702358903be1f ]
The eBPF JIT unconditionally generates ldrh/strh instructions, which do
not function correctly on the Risc PC because its bus is unable to
signal half-word accesses. Work around this issue by disabling the eBPF
JIT when building for ARMv3 (the Risc PC is the only currently
supported machine whose kernel is built for ARMv3).
Comments from Ethan Nelson-Moore:
From LKML: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAD++jL=0qYGoygUwGEXQL7C_ROnC7kfpRv8RA+H5tNWwYu+pQA@mail.gmail.com/
The commit message has been updated slightly relative to the version on LKML to clarify that the Risc PC is not actually ARMv3.
Fixes: 39c13c204bb1 ("arm: eBPF JIT compiler")
