      net: filter: BPF 'JIT' compiler for PPC64 · 0ca87f05
      Matt Evans 提交于
      An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
      filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.
      
      Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
      with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
      need anything more than an li/blr).  The filter's local variables, M[], live in
      registers.  Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
      packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.
      
      There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
      assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
      variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.
      
      This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
      to port to PPC32 or LE!).
      
      Enabled in the same way as x86-64:
      
      	echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
      
      Or, enabled with extra debug output:
      
      	echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
