bpf, arm64: Optimize BPF store/load using arm64 str/ldr(immediate offset)
The current BPF store/load instruction is translated by the JIT into two instructions. The first instruction moves the immediate offset into a temporary register. The second instruction uses this temporary register to do the real store/load. In fact, arm64 supports addressing with immediate offsets. So This patch introduces optimization that uses arm64 str/ldr instruction with immediate offset when the offset fits. Example of generated instuction for r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0): without optimization: mov x10, 0 ldr x1, [x0, x10] with optimization: ldr x1, [x0, 0] If the offset is negative, or is not aligned correctly, or exceeds max value, rollback to the use of temporary register.
