powerpc64/bpf: Moving tail_call_cnt to bottom of frame
To support tailcalls in subprogs, tail_call_cnt needs to be on the BPF trampoline stack frame. In a regular BPF program or subprog stack frame, the position of tail_call_cnt is after the NVR save area (BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE). To avoid complex logic in deducing offset for tail_call_cnt, it has to be kept at the same offset on the trampoline frame as well. But doing that wastes nearly all of BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE bytes on the BPF trampoline stack frame as the NVR save area is not the same for BPF trampoline and regular BPF programs. Address this by moving tail_call_cnt to the bottom of the frame. This change avoids the need to account for BPF_PPC_STACK_SAVE bytes in the BPF trampoline stack frame when support for tailcalls in BPF subprogs is added later. Also, this change makes offset calculation of tail_call_cnt field simpler all across. Signed-off-by:Abhishek Dubey <adubey@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:
