We have been developing a formal verification tool for BPF JIT
compilers, which we have used in the past to find bugs in the RV64
and x32 BPF JITs:

https://unsat.cs.washington.edu/projects/serval/

Recently I added support for verifying the JIT for branch and jump
instructions, and thought it a good opportunity to verify these
patches that add support for far jumps and branching.

I ported these patches to our tool and ran verification, which
didn't find any bugs according to our specification of BPF and
RISC-V.

The tool and code are publicly available, and you can read a more
detailed writeup of the results here:

https://github.com/uw-unsat/bpf-jit-verif/tree/far-jump-review

Currently the tool works on a manually translated version of the
JIT from C to Rosette, but we are experimenting with ways of making
this process more automated.
