[PATCH v4 0/3] bpf,x64: implement jump padding in jit

[Gary Lin <glin@suse.com>]

This patch series implements jump padding to x64 jit to cover some
corner cases that used to consume more than 20 jit passes and caused
failure.

v4:
  - Add the detailed comments about the possible padding bytes
  - Add the second test case which triggers jmp_cond padding and imm32 nop
    jmp padding.
  - Add the new test case as another subprog

v3:
  - Copy the instructions of prologue separately or the size calculation
    of the first BPF instruction would include the prologue.
  - Replace WARN_ONCE() with pr_err() and EFAULT
  - Use MAX_PASSES in the for loop condition check
  - Remove the "padded" flag from x64_jit_data. For the extra pass of
    subprogs, padding is always enabled since it won't hurt the images
    that converge without padding.
v2:
  - Simplify the sample code in the commit description and provide the
    jit code
  - Check the expected padding bytes with WARN_ONCE
  - Move the 'padded' flag to 'struct x64_jit_data'
  - Remove the EXPECTED_FAIL flag from bpf_fill_maxinsns11() in test_bpf
  - Add 2 verifier tests
