s390/bpf,jit: fix 32 bit divisions, use unsigned divide instructions
[ Upstream commit 3af57f78c38131b7a66e2b01e06fdacae01992a3 ]
The s390 bpf jit compiler emits the signed divide instructions "dr" and "d"
for unsigned divisions.
This can cause problems: the dividend will be zero extended to a 64 bit value
and the divisor is the 32 bit signed value as specified A or X accumulator,
even though A and X are supposed to be treated as unsigned values.
The divide instrunctions will generate an exception if the result cannot be
expressed with a 32 bit signed value.
This is the case if e.g. the dividend is 0xffffffff and the divisor either 1
or also 0xffffffff (signed: -1).
To avoid all these issues simply use unsigned divide instructions.
