The current BPF call convention is __nocfi, except when it calls !JIT things, then it calls regular C functions. It so happens that with FineIBT the __nocfi and C calling conventions are incompatible. Specifically __nocfi will call at func+0, while FineIBT will have endbr-poison there, which is not a valid indirect target. Causing #CP. Notably this only triggers on IBT enabled hardware, which is probably why this hasn't been reported (also, most people will have JIT on anyway). Implement proper CFI prologues for the BPF JIT codegen and drop __nocfi for x86.

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.
