powerpc supports BPF atomic operations using a loop around Load-And-Reserve(LDARX/LWARX) and Store-Conditional(STDCX/STWCX) instructions gated by sync instructions to enforce full ordering. To implement arena_atomics, arena vm start address is added to the dst_reg to be used for both the LDARX/LWARX and STDCX/STWCX instructions. Further, an exception table entry is added for LDARX/LWARX instruction to land after the loop on fault. At the end of sequence, dst_reg is restored by subtracting arena vm start address. bpf_jit_supports_insn() is introduced to selectively enable instruction support as in other architectures like x86 and arm64.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
