Puranjay Mohan 2bb138cb20 bpf, arm64: Inline bpf_get_current_task/_btf() helpers
On ARM64, the pointer to task_struct is always available in the sp_el0
register and therefore the calls to bpf_get_current_task() and
bpf_get_current_task_btf() can be inlined into a single MRS instruction.

Here is the difference before and after this change:

Before:

; struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
  54:   mov     x10, #0xffffffffffff7978        // #-34440
  58:   movk    x10, #0x802b, lsl #16
  5c:   movk    x10, #0x8000, lsl #32
  60:   blr     x10          -------------->    0xffff8000802b7978 <+0>:     mrs     x0, sp_el0
  64:   add     x7, x0, #0x0 <--------------    0xffff8000802b797c <+4>:     ret

After:

; struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
  54:   mrs     x7, sp_el0

This shows around 1% performance improvement in artificial microbenchmark.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
