From: Chenguang Zhao <[email protected]> This series enables the BPF verifier to inline bpf_kptr_xchg() into BPF_XCHG on LoongArch64, and fixes the underlying JIT atomic ordering that makes such inlining safe. The BPF verifier can lower bpf_kptr_xchg() to a single BPF_XCHG atomic when the JIT advertises ptr xchg support via bpf_jit_supports_ptr_xchg(). This removes helper-call overhead from the kptr exchange fast path. Inlining is only correct when the JITed exchange provides the same sequentially consistent ordering as the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper. Patch 1 fixes memory ordering for all value-returning BPF atomic RMW operations emitted by the LoongArch bpf JIT. Per LKMM, value-returning atomic RMW must provide sequentially consistent ordering. Plain AMO instructions and bare ll/sc loops on LoongArch do not satisfy this by themselves: - BPF_FETCH (ADD/AND/OR/XOR): switch to am*_db.{b,h,w,d} - BPF_XCHG: switch to amswap_db.{b,h,w,d} - BPF_CMPXCHG: emit dbar 0x700 after the ll/sc loop, matching __WEAK_LLSC_MB in cmpxchg.h Non-value-returning RMW ops (plain BPF_ADD, BPF_AND, etc.) remain weakly ordered, consistent with LKMM. This fix is independent of kptr inlining and benefits all BPF programs using value-returning atomics on LoongArch. Patch 2 implements bpf_jit_supports_ptr_xchg() so the verifier may inline bpf_kptr_xchg() on LoongArch64. Patches 3 and 4 extend bpf selftests: functional coverage via kptr_xchg_inline, and an optional kptr-xchg benchmark to compare helper vs inlined paths.
