This is a minimal stand-alone user space helper, that allows for debugging or
verification of emitted BPF JIT images. This is in particular useful for
emitted opcode debugging, since minor bugs in the JIT compiler can be fatal.
The disassembler is architecture generic and uses libopcodes and libbfd.
How to get to the disassembly, example:
1) `echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable`
2) Load a BPF filter (e.g. `tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24`)
3) Run e.g. `bpf_jit_disasm -o` to disassemble the most recent JIT code output
`bpf_jit_disasm -o` will display the related opcodes to a particular instruction
as well. Example for x86_64:
$ ./bpf_jit_disasm
94 bytes emitted from JIT compiler (pass:3, flen:9)
