Hi Tiezhu,

Don't put too much effort into the current MIPS64 JIT. I have been
working on a significant upgrade of the MIPS JIT, which adds MIPS32
support and full eBPF ISA support, among other things. All the new JIT
tests in test_bpf.ko I submitted are essentially a side effect of that
work.

I am currently testing the new JIT on different setups, and I hope to
be able to submit the patch set next week. A side note, as you seem to
work at Loongson. It would be great if you could verify the CPU errata
workarounds I implemented for Loongson-2F and 3, once I get the patch
set out for review.

I agree that it is good to be able to choose a particular test suite
to run. There are also the test_id and test_range parameters. If we
add a test suite selector, it would be nice if the test range/id
selection applied to that test suite, instead of being ignored for all
suites except test_bpf.
