Subject: [RFC bpf-next 1/2] bpf, mips: Factor narrow loads out of emit_ldx()
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 22:46:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821024640.1601299-2-main.kalliope@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821024640.1601299-1-main.kalliope@gmail.com>

Factor the byte, half-word, and word load selection out of emit_ldx()
in both MIPS JIT backends. The existing unsigned LDX paths remain the
only callers and retain the same native instructions, upper-half
handling, and clobber accounting. The double-word paths remain
unchanged.

This gives narrow loads one width dispatcher that can be extended
without duplicating the BPF size switch. No functional change
intended.
