None of the JITs is allowed to implement exit paths from the BPF
insn mappings other than BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT. In the BPF core code
we have a couple of rewrites in eBPF (e.g. LD_ABS / LD_IND) and
in eBPF to cBPF translation to retain old existing behavior where
exceptions may occur; they are also tightly controlled by the
verifier where it disallows some of the features such as BPF to
BPF calls when legacy LD_ABS / LD_IND ops are present in the BPF
program. During recent review of all BPF_XADD JIT implementations
I noticed that the ppc64 one is buggy in that it contains two
jumps to exit paths. This is problematic as this can bypass verifier
expectations e.g. pointed out in commit f6b1b3bf0d5f ("bpf: fix
subprog verifier bypass by div/mod by 0 exception"). The first
exit path is obsoleted by the fix in ca36960211eb ("bpf: allow xadd
only on aligned memory") anyway, and for the second one we need to
do a fetch, add and store loop if the reservation from lwarx/ldarx
was lost in the meantime.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
