It feels right, but bpf_jit_binary_finalize_pack() sounds 100% arch dependent. The only thing it will do is perform a copy via text_poke. What else?

we can combine all text_poke operations into one.
Can we add an 'image' pointer into struct bpf_binary_header ? Then do: int bpf_jit_binary_alloc_pack(size, &ro_hdr, &rw_hdr);
ro_hdr->image would be the address used to compute offsets by JIT. rw_hdr->image would point to kvmalloc-ed area for emitting insns. rw_hdr->size would already be populated.
The JITs would write insns into rw_hdr->image including 'int 3' insns. At the end the JIT will do text_poke_copy(ro_hdr, rw_hdr, rw_hdr->size); That would be the only copy that will transfer everything into final location. Then kvfree(rw_hdr)
wdyt?
