Browse Source 
update the list and remove 'in the future' statement,
since all still alive 64-bit architectures now do eBPF JIT.

@ -595,10 +595,9 @@ got from bpf_prog_create(), and 'ctx' the given context (e.g.
skb pointer). All constraints and restrictions from bpf_check_classic() apply
before a conversion to the new layout is being done behind the scenes!
Currently, the classic BPF format is being used for JITing on most of the
architectures. x86-64, aarch64 and s390x perform JIT compilation from eBPF
instruction set, however, future work will migrate other JIT compilers as well,
so that they will profit from the very same benefits.
Currently, the classic BPF format is being used for JITing on most 32-bit
architectures, whereas x86-64, aarch64, s390x, powerpc64, sparc64 perform JIT
compilation from eBPF instruction set.
Some core changes of the new internal format:
