[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Two trampoline cleanups

[Leon Hwang]

Split these two cleanups for trampoline from the series
"[PATCH bpf-next v2 00/21] bpf: Add tracing_multi link support for bpf progs" [1].

Since the tr->ip is ftrace_location()-ed in bpf_trampoline_lookup(), no
need to call ftrace_location(tr->ip) again in
register/unregister/modify_fentry_multi(). Also no need to call
ftrace_location() for the target addr in register_fentry(), when
initialize ftrace_managed in bpf_trampoline_get().

[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Initialize ftrace_managed in bpf_trampoline_get()

[Leon Hwang]

A trampoline managed by ftrace is determined by its target, that said
ftrace_managed is already known when the trampoline is initialized. so,
set 'ftrace_managed = tr->ip != 0' in bpf_trampoline_get() instead of
relying on the first regular or tracing_multi attachment to set it.

This makes the backend selection independent of attachment order and keeps
the registration callbacks focused on installing the trampoline.

No functional change intended.

[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] bpf: Drop unnecessary ftrace_location() in register/unregister/modify_fentry_multi()

[Leon Hwang]

Since 'tr->ip' is already a 'ftrace_location()'-ed IP in
bpf_trampoline_lookup(), it is unnecessary to call ftrace_location() again
in register/unregister/modify_fentry_multi().

No functional changes intended.
