Subject: [PATCH 4.4 32/75] s390/bpf: reduce maximum program size to 64 KB

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 0fa963553a5c28d8f8aabd8878326d3f782045fc upstream.

The s390 BFP compiler currently uses relative branch instructions
that only support jumps up to 64 KB. Examples are "j", "jnz", "cgrj",
etc.  Currently the maximum size of s390 BPF programs is set
to 0x7ffff.  If branches over 64 KB are generated the, kernel can
crash due to incorrect code.

So fix this an reduce the maximum size to 64 KB. Programs larger than
that will be interpreted.
