Hi Hassan,
Thanks - overall this is looking good :)

It might be worth stating that we know it's running a 64 bit kernel
because the eBPF JIT is only included in kernels with CONFIG_64BIT=y due
to Kconfig dependencies.

Looking at this, I think we can simplify it a lot. What the original
movn/movz code is doing is this:
/* movz */
if (!t8)
t9 = sp;
/* movn */
if (t8)
t9 = 0;
Or, simplified:
t9 = t8 ? sp : 0;
This actually matches up very well with the r6 selnez instruction, so I
think the MIPSr6 version can be just one instruction:
selnez t9, sp, t8
Could you give that a try?

Please leave that empty line there; it helps readability.

It might be worth adding a comment before your if statement explaining
that in MIPSr6 the encoded immediate for ll/sc instructions shrunk from
16 bits to 9 bits, hence the need for the temporary register.
Actually you could conditionalise this upon mem_off actually being too
big for the 9 bit field. For example something like:
if ((mem_off >= 0) && (mem_off < BIT(9))) {
/*
* mem_off is positive & fits within the 9 bit ll/sc
* instruction immediate field.
*/
} else if ((mem_off < 0) && (-mem_off <= BIT(9))) {
/*
* mem_off is negative & fits within the 9 bit ll/sc
* instruction immediate field.
*/
} else if (MIPS_ISA_REV >= 6) {
use the temp register
}
That way we'd avoid the temp register in cases where the immediate is
small enough to fit in the instruction anyway.
And further this all makes me wonder what happens if we have an
immediate that doesn't fit in 16 bits... I suspect we have a bug there
on both pre-r6 (ll/sc immediate field overflow) & r6 (daddiu immediate
field overflow). Though in practice I don't know if it's possible to hit
it, and it's not a new issue so let's look at that separately & not gate
this work on it.
One last comment - it'd be good to copy the BPF maintainers too for v2.
