The cpuv4 added a new BPF_MOVSX instruction that sign extends the src before moving it to the destination. BPF_ALU | BPF_MOVSX sign extends 8-bit and 16-bit operands into 32-bit operands, and zeroes the remaining upper 32 bits. BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOVSX sign extends 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit operands into 64-bit operands. The offset field of the instruction is used to tell the number of bit to use for sign-extension. BPF_MOV and BPF_MOVSX have the same code but the former sets offset to 0 and the later one sets the offset to 8, 16 or 32 The behaviour of this instruction is dst = (s8,s16,s32)src On ARM32 the implementation uses LSH and ARSH to extend the 8/16 bits to a 32-bit register and then it is sign extended to the upper 32-bit register using ARSH. For 32-bit we just move it to the destination register and use ARSH to extend it to the upper 32-bit 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.
