We have seen many crashes on powerpc hosts while loading bpf programs.
The problem here is that bpf_int_jit_compile() does a first pass
to compute the program length.
Then it allocates memory to store the generated program and
calls bpf_jit_build_body() a second time (and a third time
later)
What I have observed is that the second bpf_jit_build_body()
could end up using few more words than expected.
If bpf_jit_binary_alloc() put the space for the program
at the end of the allocated page, we then write on
a non mapped memory.
It appears that bpf_jit_emit_tail_call() calls
bpf_jit_emit_common_epilogue() while ctx->seen might not
be stable.
Only after the second pass we can be sure ctx->seen wont be changed.
Trying to avoid a second pass seems quite complex and probably
not worth it.

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.
