bpf: Allow fall back to interpreter for programs with stack size <= 512
OpenWRT users reported regression on ARMv6 devices after updating to latest
HEAD, where tcpdump filter:
tcpdump "not ether host
3c37121a2b3c and not ether host
184ecbca2a3a \
and not ether host
14130b4d3f47 and not ether host
f0f61cf440b7 \
and not ether host
a84b4dedf471 and not ether host
d022be17e1d7 \
and not ether host
5c497967208b and not ether host
706655784d5b"
fails with warning: "Kernel filter failed: No error information"
when using config:
# CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON=y
The issue arises because commits:
1. "bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_goto" changed default runtime to
__bpf_prog_ret0_warn when jit_requested = 1
2. "bpf: Avoid __bpf_prog_ret0_warn when jit fails" returns error when
jit_requested = 1 but jit fails
This change restores interpreter fallback capability for BPF programs with
stack size <= 512 bytes when jit fails.
