mainlining shenanigans
252c765bd7
When a tracing BPF program attempts to read memory without using the
bpf_probe_read() helper, the verifier marks the load instruction with
the BPF_PROBE_MEM flag. Since the riscv JIT does not currently recognize
this flag it falls back to the interpreter.
Add support for BPF_PROBE_MEM, by appending an exception table to the
BPF program. If the load instruction causes a data abort, the fixup
infrastructure finds the exception table and fixes up the fault, by
clearing the destination register and jumping over the faulting
instruction.
A more generic solution would add a "handler" field to the table entry,
like on x86 and s390. The same issue in ARM64 is fixed in

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.
