bpf: powerpc64: optimize JIT passes for bpf function calls Once the JITed images for each function in a multi-function program are generated after the first three JIT passes, we only need to fix the target address for the branch instruction corresponding to each bpf-to-bpf function call. This introduces the following optimizations for reducing the work done by the JIT compiler when handling multi-function programs: [1] Instead of doing two extra passes to fix the bpf function calls, do just one as that would be sufficient. [2] During the extra pass, only overwrite the instruction sequences for the bpf-to-bpf function calls as everything else would still remain exactly the same. This also reduces the number of writes to the JITed image. [3] Do not regenerate the prologue and the epilogue during the extra pass as that would be redundant.
