Metadata about a kfunc call is added to the kfunc_tab in
add_kfunc_call() but the call instruction itself could get removed by
opt_remove_dead_code() later if it is not reachable.
If the call instruction is removed, specialize_kfunc() is never called
for it and the desc->imm in the kfunc_tab is never initialized for this
kfunc call. In this case, sort_kfunc_descs_by_imm_off(env->prog); in
do_misc_fixups() doesn't sort the table correctly.
This is a problem for s390 as its JIT uses this table to find the
addresses for kfuncs, and if this table is not sorted properly, JIT may
fail to find addresses for valid kfunc calls.
This was exposed by:
commit d869d56ca8 ("bpf: verifier: refactor kfunc specialization")
as before this commit, desc->imm was initialised in add_kfunc_call()
which happens before dead code elimination.
Move desc->imm setup down to sort_kfunc_descs_by_imm_off(), this fixes
the problem and also saves us from having the same logic in
add_kfunc_call() and specialize_kfunc().

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.
