v3 cover bpf, arm64: Add fsession support

Similar to commit 98770bd4e6df ("bpf,x86: add fsession support for x86_64"), add fsession support on arm64.

Patch #1 adds bpf_jit_supports_fsession() to prevent fsession loading on architectures that do not implement fsession support.

Patch #2 implements fsession support in the arm64 BPF JIT trampoline.

Patch #3 enables the relevant selftests on arm64, including get_func_ip, and get_func_args.

All enabled tests pass on arm64:

cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf
./test_progs -t fsession

 #135/1   fsession_test/fsession_test:OK
 #135/2   fsession_test/fsession_reattach:OK
 #135/3   fsession_test/fsession_cookie:OK
 #135     fsession_test:OK

Summary: 1/3 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

./test_progs -t get_func
#138 get_func_args_test:OK
#139 get_func_ip_test:OK
Summary: 2/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Changes:
v2 -> v3:
* Fix typo in subject and patch message of patch #1 (per AI and Chris).
* Collect Acked-by, and Tested-by from Puranjay, thanks.
* v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/

v1 -> v2:
* Add bpf_jit_supports_fsession().
* v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/

PATCH v3 1/3 bpf: Add bpf_jit_supports_fsession()

The added fsession does not prevent running on those architectures, that haven't added fsession support.

For example, try to run fsession tests on arm64:

test_fsession_basic:PASS:fsession_test__open_and_load 0 nsec test_fsession_basic:PASS:fsession_attach 0 nsec check_result:FAIL:test_run_opts err unexpected error: -14 (errno 14)

In order to prevent such errors, add bpf_jit_supports_fsession() to guard those architectures.

Fixes 2d419c44658f ("bpf: add fsession support")

Should this check also include a message like "JIT does not support fsession" for consistency with other similar checks in the verifier?

That makes sense.

Let me add the log message.

PATCH v3 2/3 bpf, arm64: Add fsession support

In reply to Leon Hwang

Implement fsession support in the arm64 BPF JIT trampoline.

Extend the trampoline stack layout to store function metadata and session cookies, and pass the appropriate metadata to fentry and fexit programs. This mirrors the existing x86 behavior and enables session cookies on arm64.
