This commit adds a utility function to get disassembled text for jited
representation of a BPF program designated by file descriptor.
Function prototype looks as follows:
int get_jited_program_text(int fd, char *text, size_t text_sz)
Where 'fd' is a file descriptor for the program, 'text' and 'text_sz'
refer to a destination buffer for disassembled text.
Output format looks as follows:
18: 77 06 ja L0
1a: 50 pushq %rax
1b: 48 89 e0 movq %rsp, %rax
1e: eb 01 jmp L1
20: 50 L0: pushq %rax
21: 50 L1: pushq %rax
^ ^^^^^^^^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| binary insn | textual insn

instruction offset inferred local label name
The code and makefile changes are inspired by jit_disasm.c from bpftool.
Use llvm libraries to disassemble BPF program instead of libbfd to avoid
issues with disassembly output stability pointed out in [1].
Selftests makefile uses Makefile.feature to detect if LLVM libraries
are available. If that is not the case selftests build proceeds but
the function returns -EOPNOTSUPP at runtime.

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 reStructuredText 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.
