I added it to stay align with ARMv8 AAPCS to maintain the correct FP during function call. It makes us get correct stack backtrace.
I think we'd better to keep compliant with ARMv8 AAPCS in BPF JIT prologue too.
If nobody thinks it is necessary, we definitely could remove that change.
Oh no, I don't think anyone will say it's unnecessary! I agree the A64_FP-related change is a good idea, so stack unwinding works.
How about splitting this into two patches? One for the BPF-related bug, and another for A64 FP-handling.
I'm not sure if this is a good approach or not. IMHO, they are kind of atomic. Without A64 FP-handling, that fix looks incomplete and introduces another problem (stack backtrace).
Thanks, Yang
Thanks again for tracking this down and improving things overall for arm64 :)
Thanks, Yang
