There were spurious unaligned access warnings when calling BPF code. Sometimes, the warnings were triggered with any incoming packet, making the machine hard to use. The reason for the warnings is this: on parisc64, pointers to functions are not really pointers to functions, they are pointers to 16-byte descriptor. The first 8 bytes of the descriptor is a pointer to the function and the next 8 bytes of the descriptor is the content of the "dp" register. This descriptor is generated in the function bpf_jit_build_prologue. The problem is that the function bpf_int_jit_compile advertises 4-byte alignment when calling bpf_jit_binary_alloc, bpf_jit_binary_alloc randomizes the returned array and if the array happens to be not aligned on 8-byte boundary, the descriptor generated in bpf_jit_build_prologue is also not aligned and this triggers the unaligned access warning. Fix this by advertising 8-byte alignment on parisc64 when calling bpf_jit_binary_alloc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
