The imm field of a bpf instruction is a signed 32-bit integer. For JITed bpf-to-bpf function calls, it holds the offset of the start address of the callee's JITed image from __bpf_call_base. For some architectures, such as powerpc64, this offset may be as large as 64 bits and cannot be accomodated in the imm field without truncation. We resolve this by: [1] Additionally using the auxiliary data of each function to keep a list of start addresses of the JITed images for all functions determined by the verifier. [2] Retaining the subprog id inside the off field of the call instructions and using it to index into the list mentioned above and lookup the callee's address. To make sure that the existing JIT compilers continue to work without requiring changes, we keep the imm field as it is.
