[upstream commit 75ccbef6369e94ecac696a152a998a978d41376b] The BPF dispatcher is a multi-way branch code generator, mainly targeted for XDP programs. When an XDP program is executed via the bpf_prog_run_xdp(), it is invoked via an indirect call. The indirect call has a substantial performance impact, when retpolines are enabled. The dispatcher transform indirect calls to direct calls, and therefore avoids the retpoline. The dispatcher is generated using the BPF JIT, and relies on text poking provided by bpf_arch_text_poke(). The dispatcher hijacks a trampoline function it via the __fentry__ nop of the trampoline. One dispatcher instance currently supports up to 64 dispatch points. A user creates a dispatcher with its corresponding trampoline with the DEFINE_BPF_DISPATCHER macro.
