[PATCH powerpc/next 05/17] powerpc64/bpf: Use r12 for constant blinding

From: Naveen N. Rao <hidden>
Date: 2022-02-14 11:13:45
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf jit for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Hari Bathini, Christophe Leroy, Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

In preparation for preserving kernel toc in r2, switch BPF_REG_AX from
r2 to r12. r12 is not used by bpf JIT except during external helper/bpf
calls, or with BPF_NOSPEC. These sequences aren't emitted when
BPF_REG_AX is used for constant blinding and other purposes.
