====================
This patch series implements jump padding to x64 jit to cover some
corner cases that used to consume more than 20 jit passes and caused
failure.
v4:
- Add the detailed comments about the possible padding bytes
- Add the second test case which triggers jmp_cond padding and imm32 nop
jmp padding.
- Add the new test case as another subprog
v3:
- Copy the instructions of prologue separately or the size calculation
of the first BPF instruction would include the prologue.
- Replace WARN_ONCE() with pr_err() and EFAULT
- Use MAX_PASSES in the for loop condition check
- Remove the "padded" flag from x64_jit_data. For the extra pass of
subprogs, padding is always enabled since it won't hurt the images
that converge without padding.
v2:
- Simplify the sample code in the commit description and provide the
jit code
- Check the expected padding bytes with WARN_ONCE
- Move the 'padded' flag to 'struct x64_jit_data'
- Remove the EXPECTED_FAIL flag from bpf_fill_maxinsns11() in test_bpf
- Add 2 verifier tests

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.
