Some JITs may need to convert a conditional jump instruction to
to short PC-relative branch and a long unconditional jump, if the
PC-relative offset exceeds offset field width in the CPU instruction.
This test triggers such branch conversion on the 32-bit MIPS JIT.

BPF_MAXINSNS is 4096 as defined in uapi/linux/bpf_common.h.
Will it be able to trigger a PC relative branch + long
conditional jump?

It is freed by the existing test runner code. If the fill_helper
member is set, the function destroy_bpf_tests frees the insn pointer
in that test case. This is the same as with other tests that use the
fill_helper facility.

It does, on the MIPS32 JIT. The ALU64 MUL instruction with a large
immediate was chosen since it expands to a lot of MIPS32 instructions:
2 to load the immediate, 1 to zero/sign extend it, and then 9 for the
64x64 multiply.

Other JITs will be different of course. On the other hand, other
architectures have other limitations that this test may not trigger
anyway. I added the test because I was implementing a non-trivial
iterative branch conversion logic in the MIPS32 JIT. One can argue
that when such complex JIT mechanisms are added, the test suite should
also be updated to cover that, especially if the mechanism handles
something that almost never occur in practice.

Since I was able to trigger the branch conversion with BPF_MAXINSNS
instructions, and no other test was using more, I left it at that.
However, should I or someone else work on the MIPS64 JIT, I think
updating the test suite so that similar special cases there are
triggered would be a valuable contribution.

Sounds good. Thanks for explanation.

Maybe added a comment in the code to mention that with BPF_MAXINSNS
PC relative branch + long conditional jump can be triggered on MIPS32
JIT. Other architecture may need a different/larger number?
