Yonghong Song says: ==================== bpf: Support new insns from cpu v4 In previous discussion ([1]), it is agreed that we should introduce cpu version 4 (llvm flag -mcpu=v4) which contains some instructions which can simplify code, make code easier to understand, fix the existing problem, or simply for feature completeness. More specifically, the following new insns are proposed: . sign extended load . sign extended mov . bswap . signed div/mod . ja with 32-bit offset This patch set added kernel support for insns proposed in [1] except BPF_ST which already has full kernel support. Beside the above proposed insns, LLVM will generate BPF_ST insn as well under -mcpu=v4. The llvm patch ([2]) has been merged into llvm-project 'main' branch. The patchset implements interpreter, jit and verifier support for these new insns. For this patch set, I tested cpu v2/v3/v4 and the selftests are all passed. I also tested selftests introduced in this patch set with additional changes beside normal jit testing (bpf_jit_enable = 1 and bpf_jit_harden = 0) - bpf_jit_enable = 0 - bpf_jit_enable = 1 and bpf_jit_harden = 1 and both testing passed.

RFCv1 -> v2: . add more verifier supports for signed extend load and mov insns. . rename some insn names to be more consistent with intel practice. . add cpuv4 test runner for test progs. . add more unit and C tests. . add documentation. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230728011143.3710005-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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 Restructured Text 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.
