    bpf: x86: Support in-register struct arguments in trampoline programs · a9c5ad31
    Yonghong Song authored
    In C, struct value can be passed as a function argument.
    For small structs, struct value may be passed in
    one or more registers. For trampoline based bpf programs,
    this would cause complication since one-to-one mapping between
    function argument and arch argument register is not valid
    any more.
    
    The latest llvm16 added bpf support to pass by values
    for struct up to 16 bytes ([1]). This is also true for
    x86_64 architecture where two registers will hold
    the struct value if the struct size is >8 and <= 16.
    This may not be true if one of struct member is 'double'
    type but in current linux source code we don't have
    such instance yet, so we assume all >8 && <= 16 struct
    holds two general purpose argument registers.
    
    Also change on-stack nr_args value to the number
    of registers holding the arguments. This will
    permit bpf_get_func_arg() helper to get all
    argument values.
