Björn Töpel 75ccbef636 bpf: Introduce BPF dispatcher
The BPF dispatcher is a multi-way branch code generator, mainly
targeted for XDP programs. When an XDP program is executed via the
bpf_prog_run_xdp(), it is invoked via an indirect call. The indirect
call has a substantial performance impact, when retpolines are
enabled. The dispatcher transform indirect calls to direct calls, and
therefore avoids the retpoline. The dispatcher is generated using the
BPF JIT, and relies on text poking provided by bpf_arch_text_poke().

The dispatcher hijacks a trampoline function it via the __fentry__ nop
of the trampoline. One dispatcher instance currently supports up to 64
dispatch points. A user creates a dispatcher with its corresponding
trampoline with the DEFINE_BPF_DISPATCHER macro.

/* The BPF dispatcher is a multiway branch code generator. The
* dispatcher is a mechanism to avoid the performance penalty of an
* indirect call, which is expensive when retpolines are enabled. A
* dispatch client registers a BPF program into the dispatcher, and if
* there is available room in the dispatcher a direct call to the BPF
* program will be generated. All calls to the BPF programs called via
* the dispatcher will then be a direct call, instead of an
* indirect. The dispatcher hijacks a trampoline function it via the
* __fentry__ of the trampoline. The trampoline function has the
* following signature:
*
* unsigned int trampoline(const void *ctx, const struct bpf_insn *insnsi,
* unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const void *,
* const struct bpf_insn *));
