The cpuv4 added the support of an instruction that is similar to load but also sign-extends the result after the load. BPF_MEMSX | <size> | BPF_LDX means dst = *(signed size *) (src + offset) here <size> can be one of BPF_B, BPF_H, BPF_W. ARM32 has instructions to load a byte or a half word with sign extension into a 32bit register. As the JIT uses two 32 bit registers to simulate a 64-bit BPF register, an extra instruction is emitted to sign-extent the result up to the second register.

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.
