So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.
These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.
In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.
So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:
- it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.
- find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
that makes sense.
- it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
done on the dwarf side.

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"

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()

Commit a998d43423 claimed to introduce negative offset support to x86 jit,
but it couldn't be working, since at the time of the execution
of LD+ABS or LD+IND instructions via call into
bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper() the %edx (3rd argument of this func)
had junk value instead of access size in bytes (1 or 2 or 4).
Store size into %edx instead of %ecx (what original commit intended to do)

Now the helper function from filter.c for negative offsets is exported,
it can be used it in the jit to handle negative offsets.
First modify the asm load helper functions to handle:
- know positive offsets
- know negative offsets
- any offset
then the compiler can be modified to explicitly use these helper
when appropriate.
This fixes the case of a negative X register and allows to lift
the restriction that bpf programs with negative offsets can't
be jited.
