[PATCH bpf-next 0/3] bpf, x86: Add jit dry run mode

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

hi,
we recently hit performance issue in arch_bpf_trampoline_size,
that Mike fixed in [1].

I wondered we could go completely without emitting jit code for
getting just the trampoline size as we do on arm and it turned
out it actually makes the tracing_multi attachment benchmark
much faster.

With current code:

  # ./test_progs -t tracing_multi_bench_attach -v
  ...
  serial_test_tracing_multi_bench_attach: found 55227 functions
  serial_test_tracing_multi_bench_attach: attached in   1.563s
  serial_test_tracing_multi_bench_attach: detached in   0.256s

With the fix:

  # ./test_progs -t tracing_multi_bench_attach -v
  ...
  serial_test_tracing_multi_bench_attach: found 55235 functions
  serial_test_tracing_multi_bench_attach: attached in   0.798s
  serial_test_tracing_multi_bench_attach: detached in   0.258s

thanks,
jirka
