[DTrace-devel] [PATCH v2] Handle unlabeled BPF_NOP instructions

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

In BPF code generation, we emit branches with a label id stored in
the offset field, to be resolved during assembly.  Since "jmp 0" is
used to encode a NOP in BPF, we need to exclude jumps with offset 0
from jump-target relocation.
