In order to generate the prologue and epilogue, the BPF JIT needs to
know which registers that are clobbered. Therefore, the during
pre-final passes, the prologue is generated after the body of the
program body-prologue-epilogue. Then, in the final pass, a proper
prologue-body-epilogue JITted image is generated.
This scheme has worked most of the time. However, for some large
programs with many jumps, e.g. the test_kmod.sh BPF selftest with
hardening enabled (blinding constants), this has shown to be
incorrect. For the final pass, when the proper prologue-body-epilogue
is generated, the image has not converged. This will lead to that the
final image will have incorrect jump offsets. The following is an
excerpt from an incorrect image:
| ...
| 3b8: 00c50663 beq a0,a2,3c4 <.text+0x3c4>
| 3bc: 0020e317 auipc t1,0x20e
| 3c0: 49630067 jalr zero,1174(t1) # 20e852 <.text+0x20e852>
| ...
| 20e84c: 8796 c.mv a5,t0
| 20e84e: 6422 c.ldsp s0,8(sp) # Epilogue start
| 20e850: 6141 c.addi16sp sp,16
| 20e852: 853e c.mv a0,a5 # Incorrect jump target
| 20e854: 8082 c.jr ra
The image has shrunk, and the epilogue offset is incorrect in the
final pass.
Correct the problem by always generating proper prologue-body-epilogue
outputs, which means that the first pass will only generate the body
to track what registers that are touched.

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.
