[ Upstream commit aee636c4809fa54848ff07a899b326eb1f9987a2 ]

At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide
were not correct. (off by one in some cases)
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c

He could also show this with BPF:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c

The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough,
lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with
current cpus.

If bpf_jit_enable &gt; 1, then we dump the emitted JIT compiled image
after creation. Currently, only SPARC and PowerPC has similar output
as in the reference implementation on x86_64. Make a small helper
function in order to reduce duplicated code and make the dump output
uniform across architectures x86_64, SPARC, PPC, ARM (e.g. on ARM
flen, pass and proglen are currently not shown, but would be
interesting to know as well), also for future BPF JIT implementations
on other archs.

This patch is a follow-up for patch "filter: add XOR instruction for use
with X/K" that implements BPF PowerPC JIT parts for the BPF XOR operation.

<title>powerpc: Start using ___PPC_RA/B/S/T where necessary</title>

Now have ___PPC_RA/B/S/T we can use it in some places.  These are
places where we can't use the existing defines which will soon enforce
R0-R31 usage.

The macros being changed here are being used in inline asm, which
can't convert to enforce the R0-R31 usage.

bpf_jit uses a mix of both generated and non-generated with the same
code, so just convert all these to use the ___PPC_R versions which
won't enforce R usage later.

<title>powerpc: Fix usage of register macros getting ready for %r0 change</title>

Anything that uses a constructed instruction (ie. from ppc-opcode.h),
need to use the new R0 macro, as %r0 is not going to work.

Also convert usages of macros where we are just determining an offset
(usually for a load/store), like:
	std	r14,STK_REG(r14)(r1)
Can't use STK_REG(r14) as %r14 doesn't work in the STK_REG macro since
it's just calculating an offset.

<title>powerpc: Fix BPF_JIT code to link with multiple TOCs</title>

If the kernel is big enough (eg. allyesconfig), the linker may need to
switch TOCs when calling from the BPF JIT code out to the external
helpers (skb_copy_bits() &amp; bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper()).

In order to do that we need to leave space after the bl for the linker
to insert a reload of our TOC pointer.

<title>bpf jit: Let the powerpc jit handle negative offsets</title>

Now the helper function from filter.c for negative offsets is exported,
it can be used it in the jit to handle negative offsets.

First modify the asm load helper functions to handle:
- know positive offsets
- know negative offsets
- any offset

then the compiler can be modified to explicitly use these helper
when appropriate.

This fixes the case of a negative X register and allows to lift
the restriction that bpf programs with negative offsets can't
be jited.
