From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey@linux.ibm.com>

This patch series enables support for two BPF JIT features
on powerpc64. The first three patches target support for
tail calls with subprogram combinations. The first patch
supports realignment of tail_call_cnt offset in stack frame.
Implementation details are provided in the commit messages.

The last three patches add support for BPF exceptions. An
architecture-specific stack walker is implemented to assist
with stack walk during exceptions.

All selftests related to tailcalls and exceptions are passing:

Did you consider doing it also for powerpc32 ?
