Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf: support doubleword alignment in bpf_jit_binary_alloc
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2019 13:37:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191115123722.58462-1-iii@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Currently passing alignment greater than 4 to bpf_jit_binary_alloc does
not work: in such cases it silently aligns only to 4 bytes.

On s390, in order to load a constant from memory in a large (>512k) BPF
program, one must use lgrl instruction, whose memory operand must be
aligned on an 8-byte boundary.

This patch makes it possible to request 8-byte alignment from
bpf_jit_binary_alloc, and also makes it issue a warning when an
unsupported alignment is requested.

Signed-off-by: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com>

v1 -> v2: Simply bump alignment to 8, don't try to be too generic.
