From: Abhishek Dubey <[email protected]> The verifier selftest validates JITed instructions by matching expected disassembly output. The first two patches fix issues in powerpc instruction disassembly that were causing test flow failures. The fix is common for 64-bit & 32-bit powerpc. Add support for the powerpc-specific "__powerpc64" architecture tag in the third patch, enabling proper test filtering in verifier test files. Introduce verifier testcases for tailcalls on powerpc64. The first patch in series is fix patch, correcting memory alignment with 8-byte boundary for long branch address field. The subsequent patches enables verifier selftests on powerpc. The fifth patch in the series fixes incorrect comparator usage for comparing tailcall info with tailcall threshold. The last two patches fix JIT buffer overflow for large BPF progs and private stack memory leak (identified by bot during reviews). Issue Details: -------------- The Long branch stub in the trampoline implementation[1] provides flexibility to handles short as well as long branch distance to actual trampoline. Whereas, the 8 bytes long dummy_tramp_addr field sitting before long branch stub leads to failure when enabling verifier based seltest for ppc64. The verifier selftests require disassembing the final jited image to get native instructions. Later the disassembled instruction sequence is matched against sequence of instructions provided in test-file under __jited() wrapper. The final jited image contains Out-of-line stub and Long branch stub as part of epilogue jitting for a bpf program. The 8 bytes space for dummy_tramp is sandwiched between both above mentioned stubs. These 8 bytes contain memory address of dummy trampoline during trampoline invocation which don't correspond to any powerpc instructions. So, disassembly fails resulting in failure of verifier selftests. The following code snippet shows the problem with current arrangement made for dummy_tramp_addr. /* Out-of-line stub */ mflr r0 [b|bl] tramp mtlr r0 //only with OOL b bpf_func + 4 /* Long branch stub */ .long <dummy_tramp_addr> <---Invalid bytes sequence, disassembly fails mflr r11 bcl 20,31,$+4 mflr r12 ld r12, -8-SZL(r12) mtctr r12 mtlr r11 //retain ftrace ABI bctr Consider test program binary of size 112 bytes: 0: 00000060 10004de8 00002039 f8ff21f9 81ff21f8 7000e1fb 3000e13b 28: 3000e13b 2a006038 f8ff7ff8 00000039 7000e1eb 80002138 7843037d 56: 2000804e a602087c 00000060 a603087c bcffff4b c0341d00 000000c0 84: a602687d 05009f42 a602887d f0ff8ce9 a603897d a603687d 2004804e Disassembly output of above binary for ppc64le: pc:0 left:112 00 00 00 60 : nop pc:4 left:108 10 00 4d e8 : ld 2, 16(13) pc:8 left:104 00 00 20 39 : li 9, 0 pc:12 left:100 f8 ff 21 f9 : std 9, -8(1) pc:16 left:96 81 ff 21 f8 : stdu 1, -128(1) pc:20 left:92 70 00 e1 fb : std 31, 112(1) pc:24 left:88 30 00 e1 3b : addi 31, 1, 48 pc:28 left:84 30 00 e1 3b : addi 31, 1, 48 pc:32 left:80 2a 00 60 38 : li 3, 42 pc:36 left:76 f8 ff 7f f8 : std 3, -8(31) pc:40 left:72 00 00 00 39 : li 8, 0 pc:44 left:68 70 00 e1 eb : ld 31, 112(1) pc:48 left:64 80 00 21 38 : addi 1, 1, 128 pc:52 left:60 78 43 03 7d : mr 3, 8 pc:56 left:56 20 00 80 4e : blr pc:60 left:52 a6 02 08 7c : mflr 0 pc:64 left:48 00 00 00 60 : nop pc:68 left:44 a6 03 08 7c : mtlr 0 pc:72 left:40 bc ff ff 4b : b .-68 pc:76 left:36 c0 34 1d 00 : ...

Move the long branch address space to the bottom of the long branch stub. This allows uninterrupted disassembly until the last 8 bytes. Exclude these last bytes from the overall program length to prevent failure in assembly generation.

Update the dummy_tramp_addr field offset calculation from the end of the program to reflect its new location, for bpf_arch_text_poke() to update the actual trampoline's address in this field.
