[PATCH bpf-next v6 0/4] bpf: add cpu cycles kfuncss

[Vadim Fedorenko <vadfed@meta.com>]

This patchset adds 2 kfuncs to provide a way to precisely measure the
time spent running some code. The first patch provides a way to get cpu
cycles counter which is used to feed CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. On x86
architecture it is effectively rdtsc_ordered() function while on other
architectures it falls back to __arch_get_hw_counter(). The second patch
adds a kfunc to convert cpu cycles to nanoseconds using shift/mult
constants discovered by kernel. JIT version is done for x86 for now, on
other architectures it falls back to slightly simplified version of
vdso_calc_ns.

Selftests are also added to check whether the JIT implementation is
correct and to show the simplest usage example.

Change log:
v5 -> v6:
* added cover letter
* add comment about dropping S64_MAX manipulation in jitted
  implementation of rdtsc_oredered (Alexey)
* add comment about using 'lfence;rdtsc' variant (Alexey)
* change the check in fixup_kfunc_call() (Eduard)
* make __arch_get_hw_counter() call more aligned with vDSO
  implementation (Yonghong)
v4 -> v5:
* use #if instead of #ifdef with IS_ENABLED
v3 -> v4:
* change name of the helper to bpf_get_cpu_cycles (Andrii)
* Hide the helper behind CONFIG_GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY to avoid exposing
  it on architectures which do not have vDSO functions and data
* reduce the scope of check of inlined functions in verifier to only 2,
  which are actually inlined.
* change helper name to bpf_cpu_cycles_to_ns.
* hide it behind CONFIG_GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY to avoid exposing on
  unsupported architectures.
v2 -> v3:
* change name of the helper to bpf_get_cpu_cycles_counter to
* explicitly mention what counter it provides (Andrii)
* move kfunc definition to bpf.h to use it in JIT.
* introduce another kfunc to convert cycles into nanoseconds as
* more meaningful time units for generic tracing use case (Andrii)
v1 -> v2:
* Fix incorrect function return value type to u64
* Introduce bpf_jit_inlines_kfunc_call() and use it in
	mark_fastcall_pattern_for_call() to avoid clobbering in case
	of running programs with no JIT (Eduard)
* Avoid rewriting instruction and check function pointer directly
	in JIT (Alexei)
* Change includes to fix compile issues on non x86 architectures
