Xu Kuohai 9014cf56f1 bpf, arm64: Support up to 12 function arguments
Currently ARM64 bpf trampoline supports up to 8 function arguments.
According to the statistics from commit
473e3150e3 ("bpf, x86: allow function arguments up to 12 for TRACING"),
there are about 200 functions accept 9 to 12 arguments, so adding support
for up to 12 function arguments.

Due to bpf only supporting function arguments up to 16 bytes, according to
AAPCS64, starting from the first argument, each argument is first
attempted to be loaded to 1 or 2 smallest registers from x0-x7, if there
are no enough registers to hold the entire argument, then all remaining
arguments starting from this one are pushed to the stack for passing.
There are some non-trivial cases for which it is not possible to
correctly read arguments from/write arguments to the stack: for example
struct variables may have custom packing/alignment attributes that are
invisible in BTF info. Such cases are denied for now to make sure not to
read incorrect values.

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 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.
