This patch series enables BPF JIT on ppc32. There are relatevily few chnages in the code to make it work. All test_bpf tests passed both on 7447a and P2041-based machines.I'm just wondering, next to the feedback that has already been provided, would opening this up for ppc32 make it significantly more difficult in future to migrate from classic BPF JIT to eBPF JIT eventually (which is what we want long-term)? Being curious, is there any ongoing effort from ppc people?Well, I don't see significant challenges to enable eBPF on ppc64 in the future. I'll start working on it after I get this merged
sounds great. looking forward to it :)
