The MIPS eBPF JIT calls flush_icache_range() in order to ensure the
icache observes the code that we just wrote. Unfortunately it gets the
end address calculation wrong due to some bad pointer arithmetic.
The struct jit_ctx target field is of type pointer to u32, and as such
adding one to it will increment the address being pointed to by 4 bytes.
Therefore in order to find the address of the end of the code we simply
need to add the number of 4 byte instructions emitted, but we mistakenly
add the number of instructions multiplied by 4. This results in the call
to flush_icache_range() operating on a memory region 4x larger than
intended, which is always wasteful and can cause crashes if we overrun
into an unmapped page.
Fix this by correcting the pointer arithmetic to remove the bogus
multiplication, and use braces to remove the need for a set of brackets
whilst also making it obvious that the target field is a pointer.

README
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.
