Take an idea from the 32bit JIT, which uses the multi-pass nature of the JIT to compute the instruction offsets on a prior pass in order to compute the relative jump offsets on a later pass. Application to the x86_64 JIT is slightly more involved because the offsets depend on program variables (such as callee_regs_used and stack_depth) and hence the computed offsets need to be kept in the context of the JIT. This removes, IMO quite fragile, code that hard-codes the offsets and tries to compute the length of variable parts of it. Convert both emit_bpf_tail_call_*() functions which have an out: label at the end. Additionally emit_bpt_tail_call_direct() also has a poke table entry, for which it computes the offset from the end (and thus already relies on the previous pass to have computed addrs[i]), also convert this to be a forward based offset.

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.
