This isn't a bug, but the surrounding BPF JIT entries all use lowercase
'for': 'BPF JIT for ARM', 'BPF JIT for ARM64', 'BPF JIT for LOONGARCH',
'BPF JIT for MIPS', etc. For consistency, should this be
'BPF JIT for M68K'?

Does the exg %d0, %d1 swap the halves of the return value incorrectly
for BPF-to-BPF subprogram calls (BPF_PSEUDO_CALL)?
The emit_call() function unconditionally swaps %d0 and %d1 after all
calls, which appears correct for C ABI helper functions (where high 32
bits are in %d0, low in %d1). However, BPF subprograms place their 64-bit
return value in BPF_REG_0, which is mapped to %d1 and %d0.
If a BPF subprogram returns a value via BPF_REG_0:
BPF subprogram: BPF_REG_0 -> %d1:%d0 (high:low)
After exg: %d0:%d1 (swapped - incorrect ordering)
Additionally, the prologue assumes C ABI and reads a context pointer
from 8(%fp):
arch/m68k/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:build_prologue() {
emit_16(ctx, 0x202e); /* move.l 8(%fp), %d0 */
emit_16(ctx, 8);
}
But BPF-to-BPF calls pass arguments via the stack (pushed by emit_call),
not via the C calling convention. Wouldn't this cause the prologue to
read an incorrect context pointer for BPF subprogram entry points?
