can we rename to bpf_jit_64.S, since this doesn't work on PPC32. > arch/powerpc/net/bpf_jit.h | 227 +++++++++++ > arch/powerpc/net/bpf_jit_comp.c | 690 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ same here, or split between bpf_jit_comp.c (shared between ppc32 & ppc64) and bpf_jit_comp_64.c - k _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
