====================
__jited test tag to check disassembly after jit
Some of the logic in the BPF jits might be non-trivial.
It might be useful to allow testing this logic by comparing
generated native code with expected code template.
This patch set adds a macro __jited() that could be used for
test_loader based tests in a following manner:
SEC("tp")
__arch_x86_64
__jited(" endbr64")
__jited(" nopl (%rax,%rax)")
__jited(" xorq %rax, %rax")
...
__naked void some_test(void) { ... }
Also add a test for jit code generated for tail calls handling to
demonstrate the feature.
The feature uses LLVM libraries to do the disassembly.
At selftests compilation time Makefile detects if these libraries are
available. When libraries are not available tests using __jit_x86()
are skipped.
Current CI environment does not include llvm development libraries,
but changes to add these are trivial.
This was previously discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240718205158.3651529-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
Patch-set includes a few auxiliary steps:
- patches #2 and #3 fix a few bugs in test_loader behaviour;
- patch #4 replaces __regex macro with ability to specify regular
expressions in __msg and __xlated using "{{" "}}" escapes;
- patch #8 updates __xlated to match disassembly lines consequently,
same way as __jited does.
Changes v2->v3:
- changed macro name from __jit_x86 to __jited with __arch_* to
specify disassembly arch (Yonghong);
- __jited matches disassembly lines consequently with "..."
allowing to skip some number of lines (Andrii);
- __xlated matches disassembly lines consequently, same as __jited;
- "{{...}}" regex brackets instead of __regex macro;
- bug fixes for old commits.
Changes v1->v2:
- stylistic changes suggested by Yonghong;
- fix for -Wformat-truncation related warning when compiled with
llvm15 (Yonghong).

============
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.
