This patch optimizes BPF_JSET BPF_K by using a RISC-V andi instruction when the BPF immediate fits in 12 bits, instead of first loading the immediate to a temporary register. Examples of generated code with and without this optimization: BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JSET, R1, 2, 1) without optimization: 20: li t1,2 24: and t1,a0,t1 28: bnez t1,0x30 BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JSET, R1, 2, 1) with optimization: 20: andi t1,a0,2 24: bnez t1,0x2c BPF_JMP32_IMM(BPF_JSET, R1, 2, 1) without optimization: 20: li t1,2 24: mv t2,a0 28: slli t2,t2,0x20 2c: srli t2,t2,0x20 30: slli t1,t1,0x20 34: srli t1,t1,0x20 38: and t1,t2,t1 3c: bnez t1,0x44 BPF_JMP32_IMM(BPF_JSET, R1, 2, 1) with optimization: 20: andi t1,a0,2 24: bnez t1,0x2c In these examples, because the upper 32 bits of the sign-extended immediate are 0, BPF_JMP BPF_JSET and BPF_JMP32 BPF_JSET are equivalent and therefore the JIT produces identical code for them.

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.
