None of the JITs is allowed to implement exit paths from the BPF insn mappings other than BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT. In the BPF core code we have a couple of rewrites in eBPF (e.g. LD_ABS / LD_IND) and in eBPF to cBPF translation to retain old existing behavior where exceptions may occur; they are also tightly controlled by the verifier where it disallows some of the features such as BPF to BPF calls when legacy LD_ABS / LD_IND ops are present in the BPF program. During recent review of all BPF_XADD JIT implementations I noticed that the ppc64 one is buggy in that it contains two jumps to exit paths. This is problematic as this can bypass verifier expectations e.g. pointed out in commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
