Ok, I plan to apply the patch below for 4.1.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: bpf: fix signedness bug in loading 64-bit immediate

Consider "(u64)insn1.imm << 32 | imm" in the arm64 JIT.  Since imm is
signed 32-bit, it is sign-extended to 64-bit, losing the high 32 bits.
The fix is to convert imm to u32 first, which will be zero-extended to
u64 implicitly.
