BPF load instruction with BPF_PROBE_MEM mode can cause a fault
inside kernel. Append exception table for such instructions
within BPF program.
Unlike other archs which uses extable 'fixup' field to pass dest_reg
and nip, BPF exception table on PowerPC follows the generic PowerPC
exception table design, where it populates both fixup and extable
sections within BPF program. fixup section contains two instructions,
first instruction clears dest_reg and 2nd jumps to next instruction
in the BPF code. extable 'insn' field contains relative offset of
the instruction and 'fixup' field contains relative offset of the
fixup entry. Example layout of BPF program with extable present:
+------------------+
| |
| |
0x4020 -->| ld r27,4(r3) |
| |
| |
0x40ac -->| lwz r3,0(r4) |
| |
| |
|------------------|
0x4280 -->| li r27,0 | \ fixup entry
| b 0x4024 | /
0x4288 -->| li r3,0 |
| b 0x40b0 |
|------------------|
0x4290 -->| insn=0xfffffd90 | \ extable entry
| fixup=0xffffffec | /
0x4298 -->| insn=0xfffffe14 |
| fixup=0xffffffec |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
