With PCREL addressing, there is no kernel TOC. So, it is not setup in
prologue when PCREL addressing is used. But the number of instructions
to skip on a tail call was not adjusted accordingly. That resulted in
not so obvious failures while using tailcalls. 'tailcalls' selftest
crashed the system with the below call trace:
bpf_test_run+0xe8/0x3cc (unreliable)
bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x348/0x778
__sys_bpf+0xb04/0x2b00
sys_bpf+0x28/0x38
system_call_exception+0x168/0x340
system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec
Also, as bpf programs are always module addresses and a bpf helper in
general is a core kernel text address, using PC relative addressing
often fails with "out of range of pcrel address" error. Switch to
using kernel base for relative addressing to handle this better.

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.
