bpf, arm64: Inline bpf_get_current_task/_btf() helpers
On ARM64, the pointer to task_struct is always available in the sp_el0
register and therefore the calls to bpf_get_current_task() and
bpf_get_current_task_btf() can be inlined into a single MRS instruction.
Here is the difference before and after this change:
Before:
; struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
54: mov x10, #0xffffffffffff7978 // #-34440
58: movk x10, #0x802b, lsl #16
5c: movk x10, #0x8000, lsl #32
60: blr x10 --------------> 0xffff8000802b7978 <+0>: mrs x0, sp_el0
64: add x7, x0, #0x0 <-------------- 0xffff8000802b797c <+4>: ret
After:
; struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
54: mrs x7, sp_el0
This shows around 1% performance improvement in artificial microbenchmark.
