[PATCH v2 0/4] Fix up bpf_jit_limit some more

Some more cleanups around bpf_jit_limit to make it readable via sysctl.

Jakub raised the point that a sysctl toggle is UAPI and therefore
can't be easily changed later on. I tried to find another place to stick
the info, but couldn't find a good one. All the current BPF knobs are in
sysctl.

There are examples of read only sysctls:
$ sudo find /proc/sys -perm 0444 | wc -l
90

There are no examples of sysctls with mode 0400 however:
$ sudo find /proc/sys -perm 0400 | wc -l
0

Thoughts?

Changes in v2:
* riscv not sparcv (Luke)
* Expose bpf_jit_current in bytes, not pages (Nicholas)

Lorenz Bauer (4):
  bpf: define bpf_jit_alloc_exec_limit for riscv JIT
  bpf: define bpf_jit_alloc_exec_limit for arm64 JIT
  bpf: prevent increasing bpf_jit_limit above max
  bpf: export bpf_jit_current
