[PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/2] arm64/bpf: remove 128MB limit for BPF JIT programs

From: Alan Maguire <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-05 16:51:59
Also in: bpf, linux-arm-kernel, lkml

There is a 128MB limit on BPF JIT program allocations; this is
to ensure BPF programs are in branching range of each other.
Patch 1 in this series removes this restriction.  To verify
exception handling still works, a test case to validate
exception handling in BPF programs is added in patch 2.

There was previous discussion around this topic [1], in particular
would be good to get feedback from Daniel if this approach makes
sense.

Changes since v1:

 - respin picked up changes in arm64 exception handling changes
   which removed need for special BPF exception handling in patch 1
 - made selftest use task creation/task_struct field instead to
   minimize BPF selftests parallel runs, moved from CHECK()s
   to ASSERT_*()s (Andrii, patch 2)
