OK, getting set up to boot a PowerPC QEMU isn't practical here unless
someone's got commands I can copy-paste (suspect it will need .config
hacking too). Looks like you need to build a proper bootloader, and
boot an installer disk.

Looked at the code for a bit but nothing jumped out. It seems like the
verifier is seeing a BPF_ADD | BPF_FETCH, which means it doesn't
detect an infinite loop, but then we lose the BPF_FETCH flag somewhere
between do_check in verifier.c and bpf_jit_build_body in
bpf_jit_comp64.c. That would explain why we don't get the "eBPF filter
atomic op code %02x (@%d) unsupported", and would also explain the
lockup because a normal atomic add without fetch would leave BPF R1
unchanged.

We should be able to confirm that theory by disassembling the JITted
code that gets hexdumped by bpf_jit_dump when bpf_jit_enable is set to
2... at least for PowerPC 32-bit... maybe you could paste those lines
into the 64-bit version too? Here's some notes I made for
disassembling the hexdump on x86, I guess you'd just need to change
the objdump flags:

-- 

- Enable console JIT output:
```shell
echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
```
- Load & run the program of interest.
- Copy the hex code from the kernel console to `/tmp/jit.txt`. Here's what a
short program looks like. This includes a line of context - don't paste the
`flen=` line.
```
[ 79.381020] flen=8 proglen=54 pass=4 image=000000001af6f390
from=test_verifier pid=258
[ 79.389568] JIT code: 00000000: 0f 1f 44 00 00 66 90 55 48 89 e5 48 81 ec 08 00
[ 79.397411] JIT code: 00000010: 00 00 48 c7 45 f8 64 00 00 00 bf 04 00 00 00 48
[ 79.405965] JIT code: 00000020: f7 df f0 48 29 7d f8 8b 45 f8 48 83 f8 60 74 02
[ 79.414719] JIT code: 00000030: c9 c3 31 c0 eb fa
```
- This incantation will split out and decode the hex, then disassemble the
result:
```shell
cat /tmp/jit.txt | cut -d: -f2- | xxd -r >/tmp/obj && objdump -D -b
binary -m i386:x86-64 /tmp/obj
```

Sandipan, Naveen, do you know of anything in the PowerPC code that
might be leading us to drop the BPF_FETCH flag from the atomic
instruction in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/verifier/atomic_bounds.c?
