To support struct arguments in trampoline based programs,
existing BPF_PROG doesn't work any more since
the type size is needed to find whether a parameter
takes one or two registers. So this patch added a new
BPF_PROG2 macro to support such trampoline programs.
The idea is suggested by Andrii. For example, if the
to-be-traced function has signature like
typedef struct {
void *x;
int t;
} sockptr;
int blah(sockptr x, char y);
In the new BPF_PROG2 macro, the argument can be
represented as
__bpf_prog_call(
({ union {
struct { __u64 x, y; } ___z;
sockptr x;
} ___tmp = { .___z = { ctx[0], ctx[1] }};
___tmp.x;
}),
({ union {
struct { __u8 x; } ___z;
char y;
} ___tmp = { .___z = { ctx[2] }};
___tmp.y;
}));
In the above, the values stored on the stack are properly
assigned to the actual argument type value by using 'union'
magic. Note that the macro also works even if no arguments
are with struct types.
Note that new BPF_PROG2 works for both llvm16 and pre-llvm16
compilers where llvm16 supports bpf target passing value
with struct up to 16 byte size and pre-llvm16 will pass
by reference by storing values on the stack. With static functions
with struct argument as always inline, the compiler is able
to optimize and remove additional stack saving of struct values.

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.
