commit 144cd91c4c2bced6eb8a7e25e590f6618a11e854 upstream. This change moves the on-stack 64 bit tmp variable in ___bpf_prog_run() into the hidden ax register. The latter is currently only used in JITs for constant blinding as a temporary scratch register, meaning the BPF interpreter will never see the use of ax. Therefore it is safe to use it for the cases where tmp has been used earlier. This is needed to later on allow restricted hidden use of ax in both interpreter and JITs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
