This is a minimal stand-alone user space helper, that allows for debugging or
verification of emitted BPF JIT images. This is in particular useful for
emitted opcode debugging, since minor bugs in the JIT compiler can be fatal.
The disassembler is architecture generic and uses libopcodes and libbfd.
How to get to the disassembly, example:
1) `echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable`
2) Load a BPF filter (e.g. `tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24`)
3) Run e.g. `bpf_jit_disasm -o` to disassemble the most recent JIT code output
`bpf_jit_disasm -o` will display the related opcodes to a particular instruction
as well. Example for x86_64:
$./bpf_jit_disasm
94 bytes emitted from JIT compiler (pass:3, flen:9)
ffffffffa0356000 + <x>:
0: push %rbp
1: mov %rsp,%rbp
4: sub $0x60,%rsp
8: mov %rbx,-0x8(%rbp)
c: mov 0x68(%rdi),%r9d
10: sub 0x6c(%rdi),%r9d
14: mov 0xe0(%rdi),%r8
1b: mov $0xc,%esi
20: callq 0xffffffffe0d01b71
25: cmp $0x86dd,%eax
2a: jne 0x000000000000003d
2c: mov $0x14,%esi
31: callq 0xffffffffe0d01b8d
36: cmp $0x6,%eax

Note that this is also part of the Linux kernel source tree under
tools/net/. We also keep a copy of it here, since it is quite useful
in conjunction with bpfc for debugging purposes. However, we do not
integrate this small helper into the main build process. People who
care to have this need to compile it on their own which is not a big
deal.
