The next patch will add a ctx ptr saving instruction
"(r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)" at the beginning for the main prog
when there is an epilogue patch (by the .gen_epilogue() verifier
ops added in the next patch).
There is one corner case if the bpf prog has a BPF_JMP that jumps
to the 1st instruction. It needs an adjustment such that
those BPF_JMP instructions won't jump to the newly added
ctx saving instruction.
The commit 5337ac4c9b ("bpf: Fix the corner case with may_goto and jump to the 1st insn.")
has the details on this case.
Note that the jump back to 1st instruction is not limited to the
ctx ptr saving instruction. The same also applies to the prologue.
A later test, pro_epilogue_goto_start.c, has a test for the prologue
only case.
Thus, this patch does one adjustment after gen_prologue and
the future ctx ptr saving. It is done by
adjust_jmp_off(env->prog, 0, delta) where delta has the total
number of instructions in the prologue and
the future ctx ptr saving instruction.
The adjust_jmp_off(env->prog, 0, delta) assumes that the
prologue does not have a goto 1st instruction itself.
To accommodate the prologue might have a goto 1st insn itself,
this patch changes the adjust_jmp_off() to skip considering
the instructions between [tgt_idx, tgt_idx + delta).

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.
