btf_prepare_func_args() is used to understand expectations and restrictions on global subprog arguments. But current implementation is hard to extend, as it intermixes BTF-based func prototype parsing and interpretation logic with setting up register state at subprog entry. Worse still, those registers are not completely set up inside btf_prepare_func_args(), requiring some more logic later in do_check_common(). Like calling mark_reg_unknown() and similar initialization operations. This intermixing of BTF interpretation and register state setup is problematic. First, it causes duplication of BTF parsing logic for global subprog verification (to set up initial state of global subprog) and global subprog call sites analysis (when we need to check that whatever is being passed into global subprog matches expectations), performed in btf_check_subprog_call(). Given we want to extend global func argument with tags later, this duplication is problematic. So refactor btf_prepare_func_args() to do only BTF-based func proto and args parsing, returning high-level argument "expectations" only, with no regard to specifics of register state. I.e., if it's a context argument, instead of setting register state to PTR_TO_CTX, we return ARG_PTR_TO_CTX enum for that argument as "an argument specification" for further processing inside do_check_common(). Similarly for SCALAR arguments, PTR_TO_MEM, etc. This allows to reuse btf_prepare_func_args() in following patches at global subprog call site analysis time. It also keeps register setup code consistently in one place, do_check_common(). Besides all this, we cache this argument specs information inside env->subprog_info, eliminating the need to redo these potentially expensive BTF traversals, especially if BPF program's BTF is big and/or there are lots of global subprog calls.

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.
