Subject: [PATCH v13 4/8] powerpc/bpf: fix alignment of long branch trampoline address
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:46:01 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0700c866205c8fa2f861e4b8d64fdf7469cba021.1788154635.git.skb99@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1788154635.git.skb99@linux.ibm.com>
From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey@linux.ibm.com>
Ensure the dummy trampoline address field present between the OOL stub
and the long branch stub is 4/8-byte aligned, for memory compatibility
when content loaded to a register.
Reported-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com>
Fixes: d243b62b7bd3 ("powerpc64/bpf: Add support for bpf trampolines")
