I have to agree with Daniel here.
Having bpf prog in two latch trees is unnecessary.
Especially looking at the patch 7 that moves update to the other tree.
The whole thing becomes assymetrical and harder to follow.
Consider that walking extable is slow anyway. It's a page fault.
Having trampoline and dispatch in the same tree will not be measurable
on the speed of search_bpf_extables->bpf_prog_kallsyms_find.
So please consolidate.

Also I don't see a hunk that deletes tnode from 'struct bpf_image'.
These patches suppose to generalize it too, no?
And at the end kernel_text_address() suppose to call
is_bpf_text_address() only, right?
Instead of is_bpf_text_address() || is_bpf_image_address() ?
That _will_ actually speed up backtrace collection.
