bpf prog accesses stack using BPF_FP as the base address and a negative
immediate number as offset. But arm64 ldr/str instructions only support
non-negative immediate number as offset. To simplify the jited result,
commit 5b3d19b9bd ("bpf, arm64: Adjust the offset of str/ldr(immediate)
to positive number") introduced FPB to represent the lowest stack address
that the bpf prog being jited may access, and with this address as the
baseline, it converts BPF_FP plus negative immediate offset number to FPB
plus non-negative immediate offset.
Considering that for a given bpf prog, the jited stack space is fixed
with A64_SP as the lowest address and BPF_FP as the highest address.
Thus we can get rid of FPB and converts BPF_FP plus negative immediate
offset to A64_SP plus non-negative immediate offset.

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 reStructuredText 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.
