2020-01-25	bpf: Allow to resolve bpf trampoline and dispatcher in unwind	Jiri Olsa
	When unwinding the stack we need to identify each address to successfully continue. Adding latch tree to keep trampolines for quick lookup during the unwind. The patch uses first 48 bytes for latch tree node, leaving 4048 bytes from the rest of the page for trampoline or dispatcher generated code. It's still enough not to affect trampoline and dispatcher progs maximum counts.

2019-12-13	bpf: Introduce BPF dispatcher	Björn Töpel
	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.
