Andrii Nakryiko 3c59623d82 libbpf: Add support for fetching up to 8 arguments in kprobes
Add BPF_KPROBE() and PT_REGS_PARMx() support for up to 8 arguments, if
target architecture supports this. Currently all architectures are
limited to only 5 register-placed arguments, which is limiting even on
x86-64.

This patch adds generic macro machinery to support up to 8 arguments
both when explicitly fetching it from pt_regs through PT_REGS_PARMx()
macros, as well as more ergonomic access in BPF_KPROBE().

Also, for i386 architecture we now don't have to define fake PARM4 and
PARM5 definitions, they will be generically substituted, just like for
PARM6 through PARM8.

Subsequent patches will fill out architecture-specific definitions,
where appropriate.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
