If the target of a function call is within 32 Mbytes distance, use a
standard function call with 'bl' instead of the 'lis/ori/mtlr/blrl'
sequence.

In the first pass, no memory has been allocated yet and the code
position is not known yet (image pointer is NULL). This pass is there
to calculate the amount of memory to allocate for the EBPF code, so
assume the 4 instructions sequence is required, so that enough memory
is allocated.

History
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.
