[RFC bpf-next 0/2] bpf, mips: Add BPF_MEMSX support to the JITs

[Nicholas Dudar]

bpf-next is closed for the merge window, so I am sending this for
review. I plan to post this series after it reopens.

The MIPS32 and MIPS64 JITs reject BPF_MEMSX byte, half-word, and word
instructions, so a program containing one cannot run when JIT execution
is required.

First factor ordinary narrow-load selection into backend-local helpers.
Then extend those helpers to select signed native loads for BPF_MEMSX.
MIPS32 observes the load-delay rule and propagates the low-word sign into
the high half; MIPS64 obtains the full result from the native load.
Ordinary loads remain unsigned, and BPF_MEMSX with BPF_DW remains
unsupported.

This series must be applied after the in-review MIPS MOVSX and SDIV/SMOD
series:

MOVSX: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260819010523.1057789-1-main.kalliope@xxxxxxxxx/
SDIV/SMOD: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260810194215.3754591-1-main.kalliope@xxxxxxxxx/

Applying MEMSX removes a whole-program JIT fallback that otherwise keeps
mixed programs containing unsupported MOVSX or signed DIV/MOD out of the
JIT.

The ordering discussion is here:

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAJZwKkis=3NGw9At0WfiZaRYEoMPbQfqJKN0e+vtRDvp4VY5Ng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

On four little-endian profiles, patch 1 leaves the complete test_bpf
results with 1031 passed/31 failed on MIPS32 and 1030/31 on MIPS64.
Patch 2 changes the three MEMSX cases, yielding 1034/28 and 1033/28,
respectively. Ordinary unsigned-load controls passed at each boundary.

Selector-focused QEMU testing covered MIPS32 base, R2, and R6 plus
pre-R6 MIPS64, each in big- and little-endian configurations. The focused
mixed-operation matrix reproduced the unsafe MEMSX-first ordering and the
correct fully composed result on MIPS32 and MIPS64, both big- and
little-endian. No physical MIPS hardware was tested.
