> Subject: [PATCH v6 0/9] bpf: JIT related bug fixes
> 
> While implementing JIT for packet capture ran into several issues:
>   1. x86 JIT had a pre-existing bug which would crash.
>   2. The arm64 JIT was missing the packet-access instructions, found
>      previously [1].
>   3. Shift counts were not masked to the operand width as RFC 9669
>      requires: undefined behavior in the interpreter and an encoding
>      failure in the arm64 JIT.
>   4. Tests related to JIT were not being run or were missing coverage.
> 
> Fixed all of these. Patches are ordered with the most urgent fix (the
> x86 crash) first, each fix followed by the test that exercises it. The
> arm64 packet-load support is kept ahead of the "check JIT was generated"
> patch so the series bisects cleanly on arm64.
> 
> The arm64 epilogue branch fix (patch 6) was originally posted by
> Christophe Fontaine [1]; that series stalled, so it is carried here with
> his authorship.

(Maybe it actually deserves a release note at this point?)
