Similarly to 09772d92cd5a ("bpf: avoid retpoline for
lookup/update/delete calls on maps") and 84430d4232c3 ("bpf, verifier:
avoid retpoline for map push/pop/peek operation") avoid indirect call
while calling bpf_for_each_map_elem.
Before (a program fragment):
; if (rules_map) {
142: (15) if r4 == 0x0 goto pc+8
143: (bf) r3 = r10
; bpf_for_each_map_elem(rules_map, process_each_rule, &ctx, 0);
144: (07) r3 += -24
145: (bf) r1 = r4
146: (18) r2 = subprog[+5]
148: (b7) r4 = 0
149: (85) call bpf_for_each_map_elem#143680 <-- indirect call via
helper
After (same program fragment):
; if (rules_map) {
142: (15) if r4 == 0x0 goto pc+8
143: (bf) r3 = r10
; bpf_for_each_map_elem(rules_map, process_each_rule, &ctx, 0);
144: (07) r3 += -24
145: (bf) r1 = r4
146: (18) r2 = subprog[+5]
148: (b7) r4 = 0
149: (85) call bpf_for_each_array_elem#170336 <-- direct call
On a benchmark that calls bpf_for_each_map_elem() once and does many
other things (mostly checking fields in skb) with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y it
makes program faster.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
