This series is ready to go in as is.

@Palmer I'd like to take this series via the bpf-next tree (as usual),
but note that there are some non-BPF changes as well, related to text
poking.

@Lehui I'd like to see two follow-up patches:

1. Enable kfunc for RV64, by adding:
 | bool bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_call(void)
 | {
 |         return true;
 | }

2. Remove the checkpatch warning on patch 4:
 | WARNING: kfree(NULL) is safe and this check is probably not required
 | #313: FILE: arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c:984:
 | +	if (branches_off)
 | +		kfree(branches_off);


For the series:
