[PATCHv2 bpf-next 3/5] selftests/bpf: Emit nop,no5 instructions combo for x86_64 arch

From: Jiri Olsa

Date: Tue Feb 10 2026 - 08:39:58 EST


Syncing latest usdt.h change [1].

Now that we have no5 optimization support in kernel, let's emit
nop,nop5 for usdt probe. We leave it up to the library to use
desirable nop instruction.
