net: filter: x86: internal BPF JIT



Maps all internal BPF instructions into x86_64 instructions.
This patch replaces original BPF x64 JIT with internal BPF x64 JIT.
sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable is reused as on/off switch.

Performance:

1. old BPF JIT and internal BPF JIT generate equivalent x86_64 code.
  No performance difference is observed for filters that were JIT-able before

Example assembler code for BPF filter "tcpdump port 22"

original BPF -> old JIT:            original BPF -> internal BPF -> new JIT:

On fully cached SKBs both JITed functions take 12 nsec to execute.
BPF interpreter executes the program in 30 nsec.

The difference in generated assembler is due to the following:

Old BPF imlements LDX_MSH instruction via sk_load_byte_msh() helper function
inside bpf_jit.S.
New JIT removes the helper and does it explicitly, so ldx_msh cost
is the same for both JITs, but generated code looks longer.

New JIT has 4 registers to save, so prologue/epilogue are larger,
but the cost is within noise on x64.

Old JIT checks whether first insn clears A and if not emits 'xor %eax,%eax'.
New JIT clears %rax unconditionally.

2. old BPF JIT doesn't support ANC_NLATTR, ANC_PAY_OFFSET, ANC_RANDOM
  extensions. New JIT supports all BPF extensions.
  Performance of such filters improves 2-4 times depending on a filter.
  The longer the filter the higher performance gain.
  Synthetic benchmarks with many ancillary loads see 20x speedup
  which seems to be the maximum gain from JIT

Notes:

. net.core.bpf_jit_enable=2 + tools/net/bpf_jit_disasm is still functional
  and can be used to see generated assembler

. there are two jit_compile() functions and code flow for classic filters is:
  sk_attach_filter() - load classic BPF
  bpf_jit_compile() - try to JIT from classic BPF
  sk_convert_filter() - convert classic to internal
  bpf_int_jit_compile() - JIT from internal BPF

  seccomp and tracing filters will just call bpf_int_jit_compile()
