Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation) says: ==================== this series follows up on the one introducing 9+ args for tracing programs [1]. It has been observed with this series that there are cases for which we can not identify accurately the location of the target function arguments to prepare correctly the corresponding BPF trampoline. This is the case for example if: - the function consumes a struct variable _by value_ - it is passed on the stack (no more register available for it) - it has some __packed__ or __aligned(X)__ attribute As a consequence, a small restrictive check has been added to the ARM64 side, highlighting that other arch supporting 9+ args in BPF trampolines are already suffering from the same issue. After a bit of discussions and attempts, the chosen solution is, rather than applying the same constraint to all JIT compilers, to prevent such function from being encoded at all in BTF info([2]). As the pahole side is closed to be integrated, we can now remove the restrictive check from kernel side.

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.
