CVE-2025-38723

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: BPF: Fix jump offset calculation in tailcall

The extra pass of bpf_int_jit_compile() skips JIT context initialization
which essentially skips offset calculation leaving out_offset = -1, so
the jmp_offset in emit_bpf_tail_call is calculated by

"#define jmp_offset (out_offset - (cur_offset))"

is a negative number, which is wrong. The final generated assembly are
as follow.

54:	bgeu        	$a2, $t1, -8	    # 0x0000004c
58:	addi.d      	$a6, $s5, -1
5c:	bltz        	$a6, -16	    # 0x0000004c
60:	alsl.d      	$t2, $a2, $a1, 0x3
64:	ld.d        	$t2, $t2, 264
68:	beq         	$t2, $zero, -28	    # 0x0000004c

Before apply this patch, the follow test case will reveal soft lock issues.

cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
./test_progs --allow=tailcalls/tailcall_bpf2bpf_1

dmesg:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 26s! [test_progs:25056]
