Ard Biesheuvel 91fc957c9b arm64/bpf: don't allocate BPF JIT programs in module memory
The arm64 module region is a 128 MB region that is kept close to
the core kernel, in order to ensure that relative branches are
always in range. So using the same region for programs that do
not have this restriction is wasteful, and preferably avoided.

Now that the core BPF JIT code permits the alloc/free routines to
be overridden, implement them by vmalloc()/vfree() calls from a
dedicated 128 MB region set aside for BPF programs. This ensures
that BPF programs are still in branching range of each other, which
is something the JIT currently depends upon (and is not guaranteed
when using module_alloc() on KASLR kernels like we do currently).
It also ensures that placement of BPF programs does not correlate
with the placement of the core kernel or modules, making it less
likely that leaking the former will reveal the latter.

This also solves an issue under KASAN, where shadow memory is
needlessly allocated for all BPF programs (which don't require KASAN
shadow pages since they are not KASAN instrumented)

README

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.

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.
