mips, bpf: Add eBPF JIT for 32-bit MIPS
This is an implementation of an eBPF JIT for 32-bit MIPS I-V and MIPS32.
The implementation supports all 32-bit and 64-bit ALU and JMP operations,
including the recently-added atomics. 64-bit div/mod and 64-bit atomics
are implemented using function calls to math64 and atomic64 functions,
respectively. All 32-bit operations are implemented natively by the JIT,
except if the CPU lacks ll/sc instructions.
Register mapping
================
All 64-bit eBPF registers are mapped to native 32-bit MIPS register pairs,
and does not use any stack scratch space for register swapping. This means
that all eBPF register data is kept in CPU registers all the time, and
this simplifies the register management a lot. It also reduces the JIT's
pressure on temporary registers since we do not have to move data around.
Native register pairs are ordered according to CPU endiannes, following
the O32 calling convention for passing 64-bit arguments and return values.
The eBPF return value, arguments and callee-saved registers are mapped to
their native MIPS equivalents.
Since the 32 highest bits in the eBPF FP (frame pointer) register are
always zero, only one general-purpose register is actually needed for the
mapping. The MIPS fp register is used for this purpose. The high bits are
mapped to MIPS register r0. This saves us one CPU register, which is much
needed for temporaries, while still allowing us to treat the R10 (FP)
register just like any other eBPF register in the JIT.
The MIPS gp (global pointer) and at (assembler temporary) registers are
used as internal temporary registers for constant blinding. CPU registers
t6-t9 are used internally by the JIT when constructing more complex 64-bit
operations. This is precisely what is needed - two registers to store an
operand value, and two more as scratch registers when performing the
operation.
The register mapping is shown below.
R0 - $v1, $v0 return value
R1 - $a1, $a0 argument 1, passed in registers
R2 - $a3, $a2 argument 2, passed in registers
R3 - $t1, $t0 argument 3, passed on stack
R4 - $t3, $t2 argument 4, passed on stack
R5 - $t4, $t3 argument 5, passed on stack
R6 - $s1, $s0 callee-saved
R7 - $s3, $s2 callee-saved
R8 - $s5, $s4 callee-saved
R9 - $s7, $s6 callee-saved
FP - $r0, $fp 32-bit frame pointer
AX - $gp, $at constant-blinding
$t6 - $t9 unallocated, JIT temporaries
Jump offsets
============
The JIT tries to map all conditional JMP operations to MIPS conditional
PC-relative branches. The MIPS branch offset field is 18 bits, in bytes,
which is equivalent to the eBPF 16-bit instruction offset. However, since
the JIT may emit more than one CPU instruction per eBPF instruction, the
field width may overflow. If that happens, the JIT converts the long
conditional jump to a short PC-relative branch with the condition
inverted, jumping over a long unconditional absolute jmp (j).
This conversion will change the instruction offset mapping used for jumps,
and may in turn result in more branch offset overflows. The JIT therefore
dry-runs the translation until no more branches are converted and the
offsets do not change anymore. There is an upper bound on this of course,
and if the JIT hits that limit, the last two iterations are run with all
branches being converted.
Tail call count
===============
The current tail call count is stored in the 16-byte area of the caller's
stack frame that is reserved for the callee in the o32 ABI. The value is
initialized in the prologue, and propagated to the tail-callee by skipping
the initialization instructions when emitting the tail call.
