Turned out that bpf prog callback addresses, bpf prog addresses used in bpf_trampoline, and in other cases the 64-bit address can be represented as sign extended 32-bit value. According to https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82339 "Skylake has 0.64c throughput for mov r64, imm64, vs. 0.25 for mov r32, imm32." So use shorter encoding and faster instruction when possible. Special care is needed in jit_subprogs(), since bpf_pseudo_func() instruction cannot change its size during the last step of JIT.

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.
