nfp: bpf: flag jump destination to guide insn combine optimizations
NFP eBPF offload JIT engine is doing some instruction combine based optimizations which however must not be safe if the combined sequences are across basic block boarders. Currently, there are post checks during fixing jump destinations. If the jump destination is found to be eBPF insn that has been combined into another one, then JIT engine will raise error and abort. This is not optimal. The JIT engine ought to disable the optimization on such cross-bb-border sequences instead of abort. As there is no control flow information in eBPF infrastructure that we can't do basic block based optimizations, this patch extends the existing jump destination record pass to also flag the jump destination, then in instruction combine passes we could skip the optimizations if insns in the sequence are jump targets.
