Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] RV64G eBPF JIT

Hi!

I've been hacking on a RV64G eBPF JIT compiler, and would like some
feedback.

Codewise, it needs some refactoring. Currently there's a bit too much
copy-and-paste going on, and I know some places where I could optimize
the code generation a bit (mostly BPF_K type of instructions, dealing
with immediates).

>From a features perspective, two things are missing:

* tail calls
* "far-branches", i.e. conditional branches that reach beyond 13b.

The test_bpf.ko (only tested on 4.20!) passes all tests.

I've done all the tests on QEMU (version 3.1.50), so no real hardware.

Some questions/observations:

* I've added "HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS" to
  arch/riscv/Kconfig. Is this assumption correct?

* emit_imm() just relies on lui, adds and shifts. No fancy xori cost
  optimizations like GCC does.

* Suggestions on how to implement the tail call, given that the
  prologue/epilogue has variable size. I will dig into the details of
  mips/arm64/x86. :-)

Next steps (prior patch proper) is cleaning up the code, add tail
calls, and making sure that bpftool disassembly works correctly.

All input are welcome. This is my first RISC-V hack, so I sure there
are a lot things to improve!

Thanks,
Björn
