Sounds good to me.

So you need:

$ grep CONFIG_BPF_JIT= .config
1795:CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y

$ git grep CONFIG_BPF_JIT arch/x86/net/Makefile
arch/x86/net/Makefile: obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_JIT) += bpf_jit_comp32.o
arch/x86/net/Makefile: obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_JIT) += bpf_jit_comp.o

I wonder why Stephen's fixup-patch was not carried in recent
Linux-next releases.
Wild speculation - no random-config with x86(-64) plus CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y?

Anyway, I integrated Stephen's fixup-patch into my custom patchset.

$ git log --oneline --author="Stephen Rothwell" v5.12-rc4..
600417efac59 (for-5.12/x86-cpu-20210315-net-bpf-sfr) x86: fix up for
"bpf: Use NOP_ATOMIC5 instead of emit_nops(&prog, 5) for
BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG"

Feel free to add my:
