Currently, bpf jit code on powerpc assumes all the bpf functions and helpers to be part of core kernel text. This is false for kfunc case, as function addresses may not be part of core kernel text area. So, add support for addresses that are not within core kernel text area too, to enable kfunc support. Emit instructions based on whether the function address is within core kernel text address or not, to retain optimized instruction sequence where possible. In case of PCREL, as a bpf function that is not within core kernel text area is likely to go out of range with relative addressing on kernel base, use PC relative addressing. If that goes out of range, load the full address with PPC_LI64(). With addresses that are not within core kernel text area supported, override bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_call() to enable kfunc support. Also, override bpf_jit_supports_far_kfunc_call() to enable 64-bit pointers, as an address offset can be more than 32-bit long on PPC64.

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.
