Perf BPF prologue generator unconditionally fetches 8 bytes for function
parameters, which causes problem on big endian machine. Thomas gives a
detail analysis for this problem:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/968ebda5-abe4-8830-8d69-49f62529d151@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This patch parses the type of each argument and converts data from
memory to expected type.
Now the test runs successfully on 4.13.0-rc5:
[root@s8360046 perf]# ./perf test bpf
38: BPF filter :
38.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
38.2: BPF pinning : Ok
38.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
38.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok
