The inline implementation reads bit 63 of ctx[-1] to check the is_return
flag. However, looking at the x86 trampoline code in
arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c, the trampoline only stores nr_regs in ctx[-1]:

    emit_mov_imm64(&prog, BPF_REG_0, 0, (u32) nr_regs);
    emit_stx(&prog, BPF_DW, BPF_REG_FP, BPF_REG_0, -nregs_off);

The is_return flag (bit 63) is never set by the current trampoline code.
This means bpf_session_is_return() will always return 0 for fsession
programs, even when executing at the return point.

I see this is fixed later in the series by commit ba766b26e776 ("bpf,x86:
add fsession support for x86_64") which adds:

    func_meta |= (1ULL << BPF_TRAMP_IS_RETURN_SHIFT);
    if (bpf_fsession_cnt(tlinks))
        emit_store_stack_imm64(&prog, BPF_REG_0, -func_meta_off, func_meta);

Should this commit be squashed with the x86 trampoline changes to ensure
the feature works correctly at each point in the series?
As I said before, this patch implement the common part of the fsession.
and we implement the architecture specific code for x86_64 in the later
patch.
