Alexei Starovoitov b52f00e6a7 x86: bpf_jit: implement bpf_tail_call() helper
bpf_tail_call() arguments:
ctx - context pointer
jmp_table - one of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY maps used as the jump table
index - index in the jump table

In this implementation x64 JIT bypasses stack unwind and jumps into the
callee program after prologue, so the callee program reuses the same stack.

The logic can be roughly expressed in C like:

u32 tail_call_cnt;

void *jumptable[2] = { &&label1, &&label2 };

int bpf_prog1(void *ctx)
{
label1:
    ...
}

int bpf_prog2(void *ctx)
{
label2:
    ...
}

int bpf_prog1(void *ctx)
{
    ...
    if (tail_call_cnt++ < MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT)
        goto *jumptable[index]; ... and pass my 'ctx' to callee ...

    ... fall through if no entry in jumptable ...
}

Note that 'skip current program epilogue and next program prologue' is
an optimization. Other JITs don't have to do it the same way.
>From safety point of view it's valid as well, since programs always
initialize the stack before use, so any residue in the stack left by
the current program is not going be read. The same verifier checks are
done for the calls from the kernel into all bpf programs.
