This commit adds support for BPF dynamic code modification on the LoongArch architecture: 1. Add bpf_arch_text_copy() for instruction block copying. 2. Add bpf_arch_text_poke() for runtime instruction patching. 3. Add bpf_arch_text_invalidate() for code invalidation. On LoongArch, since symbol addresses in the direct mapping region can't be reached via relative jump instructions from the paged mapping region, we use the move_imm+jirl instruction pair as absolute jump instructions. These require 2-5 instructions, so we reserve 5 NOP instructions in the program as placeholders for function jumps. The larch_insn_text_copy() function is solely used for BPF. And the use of larch_insn_text_copy() requires PAGE_SIZE alignment. Currently, only the size of the BPF trampoline is page-aligned.

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 reStructuredText 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.
