Pointer to BTF object is a pointer to kernel object or NULL. Such pointers can only be used by BPF_LDX instructions. The verifier changed their opcode from LDX|MEM|size to LDX|PROBE_MEM|size to make JITing easier. The number of entries in extable is the number of BPF_LDX insns that access kernel memory via "pointer to BTF type". Only these load instructions can fault. Since x86 extable is relative it has to be allocated in the same memory region as JITed code. Allocate it prior to last pass of JITing and let the last pass populate it. Pointer to extable in bpf_prog_aux is necessary to make page fault handling fast. Page fault handling is done in two steps: 1. bpf_prog_kallsyms_find() finds BPF program that page faulted. It's done by walking rb tree. 2. then extable for given bpf program is binary searched. This process is similar to how page faulting is done for kernel modules. The exception handler skips over faulting x86 instruction and initializes destination register with zero. This mimics exact behavior of bpf_probe_read (when probe_kernel_read faults dest is zeroed). JITs for other architectures can add support in similar way. Until then they will reject unknown opcode and fallback to interpreter. Since extable should be aligned and placed near JITed code make bpf_jit_binary_alloc() return 4 byte aligned image offset, so that extable aligning formula in bpf_int_jit_compile() doesn't need to rely on internal implementation of bpf_jit_binary_alloc(). On x86 gcc defaults to 16-byte alignment for regular kernel functions due to better performance. JITed code may be aligned to 16 in the future, but it will use 4 in the meantime.

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.
