Daniel Borkmann f9dabe016b bpf: Undo off-by-one in interpreter tail call count limit 
The BPF interpreter as well as x86-64 BPF JIT were both in line by allowing
up to 33 tail calls (however odd that number may be!). Recently, this was
changed for the interpreter to reduce it down to 32 with the assumption that
this should have been the actual limit "which is in line with the behavior of
the x86 JITs" according to b61a28cf11 ("bpf: Fix off-by-one in tail call
count limiting").

Paul recently reported:

  I'm a bit surprised by this because I had previously tested the tail call
  limit of several JIT compilers and found it to be 33 (i.e., allowing chains
  of up to 34 programs). I've just extended a test program I had to validate
  this again on the x86-64 JIT, and found a limit of 33 tail calls again [1].

  Also note we had previously changed the RISC-V and MIPS JITs to allow up to
  33 tail calls [2, 3], for consistency with other JITs and with the interpreter.
  We had decided to increase these two to 33 rather than decrease the other
  JITs to 32 for backward compatibility, though that probably doesn't matter
  much as I'd expect few people to actually use 33 tail calls.

  [1] ae78874829
  [2] 96bc4432f5 ("bpf, riscv: Limit to 33 tail calls")
  [3] e49e6f6db0 ("bpf, mips: Limit to 33 tail calls")

Therefore, revert b61a28cf11 to re-align interpreter to limit a maximum of
33 tail calls. While it is unlikely to hit the limit for the vast majority,
programs in the wild could one way or another depend on this, so lets rather
be a bit more conservative, and lets align the small remainder of JITs to 33.
If needed in future, this limit could be slightly increased, but not decreased.

README 

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.
