Linux kernel source tree

====================
this is the v2 of the many args series for arm64, being itself a revival
of Xu Kuhoai's work to enable larger arguments count for BPF programs on
ARM64 ([1]).
The discussions in v1 shed some light on some issues around specific
cases, for example with functions passing struct on stack with custom
packing/alignment attributes: those cases can not be properly detected
with the current BTF info. So this new revision aims to separate
concerns with a simpler implementation, just accepting additional args
on stack if we can make sure about the alignment constraints (and so,
refusing attachment to functions passing structs on stacks). I then
checked if the specific alignment constraints could be checked with
larger scalar types rather than structs, but it appears that this use
case is in fact rejected at the verifier level (see

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.
