JIT compiler
------------
The Linux kernel has a built-in BPF JIT compiler for x86_64, SPARC, PowerPC,
ARM, ARM64, MIPS and s390 and can be enabled through CONFIG_BPF_JIT. The JIT
compiler is transparently invoked for each attached filter from user space
or for internal kernel users if it has been previously enabled by root:

Currently, the classic BPF format is being used for JITing on most 32-bit
architectures, whereas x86-64, aarch64, s390x, powerpc64, sparc64, arm32 perform
