Subject: BPF crash with 3.18-rc1 on arm64 Juno hardware

Hi,

I see a crash with 3.18-rc1 on a Juno board related to bpf_jit (see dump
below). Userland tries to carry on afterwards, but eventually hangs in
RCU stalls.
The kernel has just CONFIG_BPF_JIT enabled, I guess Ubuntu enables this
automatically if detected.

The backtrace doesn't make too much sense to me:

void bpf_jit_free(struct bpf_prog *prog)
{
        if (prog->jited)
                module_free(NULL, prog->bpf_func);

        kfree(prog);
}
It crashes in kfree, but has survived the dereference before.

I have no clue about BPF, so if anyone could help me debug this, I'd be
grateful.

Cheers,
Andre.
