[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] Jit BPF_CALL to direct call when possible

[Xu Kuohai]

Currently BPF_CALL is always jited to indirect call, but when target is
in the range of direct call, a BPF_CALL can be jited to direct call.

For example, the following BPF_CALL

    call __htab_map_lookup_elem

is always jited to an indirect call:

    mov     x10, #0xffffffffffff18f4
    movk    x10, #0x821, lsl #16
    movk    x10, #0x8000, lsl #32
    blr     x10

When the target is in the range of a direct call, it can be jited to:

    bl      0xfffffffffd33bc98

This patchset does such jit.
