[ Upstream commitaee194b14d] This patch fixes an encoding bug in emit_stx for BPF_B when the source register is BPF_REG_FP. The current implementation for BPF_STX BPF_B in emit_stx saves one REX byte when the operands can be encoded using Mod-R/M alone. The lower 8 bits of registers %rax, %rbx, %rcx, and %rdx can be accessed without using a REX prefix via %al, %bl, %cl, and %dl, respectively. Other registers, (e.g., %rsi, %rdi, %rbp, %rsp) require a REX prefix to use their 8-bit equivalents (%sil, %dil, %bpl, %spl). The current code checks if the source for BPF_STX BPF_B is BPF_REG_1 or BPF_REG_2 (which map to %rdi and %rsi), in which case it emits the required REX prefix. However, it misses the case when the source is BPF_REG_FP (mapped to %rbp). The result is that BPF_STX BPF_B with BPF_REG_FP as the source operand will read from register %ch instead of the correct %bpl. This patch fixes the problem by fixing and refactoring the check on which registers need the extra REX byte. Since no BPF registers map to %rsp, there is no need to handle %spl.

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 Restructured Text 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.
