BPF load instruction with BPF_PROBE_MEM mode can cause a fault
inside kernel. Append exception table for such instructions
within BPF program.
Unlike other archs which uses extable 'fixup' field to pass dest_reg
and nip, BPF exception table on PowerPC follows the generic PowerPC
exception table design, where it populates both fixup and extable
sections within BPF program. fixup section contains 3 instructions,
first 2 instructions clear dest_reg (lower & higher 32-bit registers)
and last instruction jumps to next instruction in the BPF code.
extable 'insn' field contains relative offset of the instruction and
'fixup' field contains relative offset of the fixup entry. Example
layout of BPF program with extable present:
+------------------+
| |
| |
0x4020 -->| lwz r28,4(r4) |
| |
| |
0x40ac -->| lwz r3,0(r24) |
| lwz r4,4(r24) |
| |
| |
|------------------|
0x4278 -->| li r28,0 | \
| li r27,0 | | fixup entry
| b 0x4024 | /
0x4284 -->| li r4,0 |
| li r3,0 |
| b 0x40b4 |
|------------------|
0x4290 -->| insn=0xfffffd90 | \ extable entry
| fixup=0xffffffe4 | /
0x4298 -->| insn=0xfffffe14 |
| fixup=0xffffffe8 |
