[ Upstream commit7de0869093] We have seen many crashes on powerpc hosts while loading bpf programs. The problem here is that bpf_int_jit_compile() does a first pass to compute the program length. Then it allocates memory to store the generated program and calls bpf_jit_build_body() a second time (and a third time later) What I have observed is that the second bpf_jit_build_body() could end up using few more words than expected. If bpf_jit_binary_alloc() put the space for the program at the end of the allocated page, we then write on a non mapped memory. It appears that bpf_jit_emit_tail_call() calls bpf_jit_emit_common_epilogue() while ctx->seen might not be stable. Only after the second pass we can be sure ctx->seen wont be changed. Trying to avoid a second pass seems quite complex and probably not worth it.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
