David Miller d4926994be sparc: Fix JIT fused branch convergance.
[ Upstream commit c44768a33d ]

On T4 and later sparc64 cpus we can use the fused compare and branch
instruction.

However, it can only be used if the branch destination is in the range
of a signed 10-bit immediate offset.  This amounts to 1024
instructions forwards or backwards.

After the commit referenced in the Fixes: tag, the largest possible
size program seen by the JIT explodes by a significant factor.

As a result of this convergance takes many more passes since the
expanded "BPF_LDX | BPF_MSH | BPF_B" code sequence, for example,
contains several embedded branch on condition instructions.

On each pass, as suddenly new fused compare and branch instances
become valid, this makes thousands more in range for the next pass.
And so on and so forth.

This is most greatly exemplified by "BPF_MAXINSNS: exec all MSH" which
takes 35 passes to converge, and shrinks the image by about 64K.

To decrease the cost of this number of convergance passes, do the
convergance pass before we have the program image allocated, just like
other JITs (such as x86) do.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
