bpf, arm64: Optimize AND,OR,XOR,JSET BPF_K using arm64 logical immediates

Browse source

The current code for BPF_{AND,OR,XOR,JSET} BPF_K loads the immediate to
a temporary register before use.

This patch changes the code to avoid using a temporary register
when the BPF immediate is encodable using an arm64 logical immediate
instruction. If the encoding fails (due to the immediate not being
encodable), it falls back to using a temporary register.

Example of generated code for BPF_ALU32_IMM(BPF_AND, R0, 0x80000001):

without optimization:

  24: mov  w10, #0x8000ffff
  28: movk w10, #0x1
  2c: and  w7, w7, w10

with optimization:

  24: and  w7, w7, #0x80000001

Since the encoding process is quite complex, the JIT reuses existing
functionality in arch/arm64/kernel/insn.c for encoding logical immediates
rather than duplicate it in the JIT.
