Maciej Fijalkowski 0d4ddce300 bpf, x64: use %rcx instead of %rax for tail call retpolines
Currently, %rax is used to store the jump target when BPF program is
emitting the retpoline instructions that are handling the indirect
tailcall.

There is a plan to use %rax for different purpose, which is storing the
tail call counter. In order to preserve this value across the tailcalls,
adjust the BPF indirect tailcalls so that the target program will reside
in %rcx and teach the retpoline instructions about new location of jump
target.

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.
