Andrii Nakryiko a8497506cd bpf: Avoid get_kernel_nofault() to fetch kprobe entry IP
get_kernel_nofault() (or, rather, underlying copy_from_kernel_nofault())
is not free and it does pop up in performance profiles when
kprobes are heavily utilized with CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y config.

Let's avoid using it if we know that fentry_ip - 4 can't cross page
boundary. We do that by masking lowest 12 bits and checking if they are

Another benefit (and actually what caused a closer look at this part of
code) is that now LBR record is (typically) not wasted on
copy_from_kernel_nofault() call and code, which helps tools like
retsnoop that grab LBR records from inside BPF code in kretprobes.

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 ReStructured Text 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.
