bpf: Move bpf_dispatcher function out of ftrace locations
The dispatcher function is attached/detached to trampoline by dispatcher update function. At the same time it's available as ftrace attachable function. After discussion [1] the proposed solution is to use compiler attributes to alter bpf_dispatcher_##name##_func function: - remove it from being instrumented with __no_instrument_function__ attribute, so ftrace has no track of it - but still generate 5 nop instructions with patchable_function_entry(5) attribute, which are expected by bpf_arch_text_poke used by dispatcher update function Enabling HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_NO_PATCHABLE option for x86, so __patchable_function_entries functions are not part of ftrace/mcount locations. Adding attributes to bpf_dispatcher_XXX function on x86_64 so it's kept out of ftrace locations and has 5 byte nop generated at entry. These attributes need to be arch specific as pointed out by Ilya Leoshkevic in here [2]. The dispatcher image is generated only for x86_64 arch, so the code can stay as is for other archs.
