This extends the BPF trampoline JIT to support attachment to functions that take small structures (up to 128bit) as argument. This is trivially achieved by saving/restoring a number of "argument registers" rather than a number of arguments. The AAPCS64 section 6.8.2 describes the parameter passing ABI. "Composite types" (like C structs) below 16 bytes (as enforced by the BPF verifier) are provided as part of the 8 argument registers as explained in the section C.12.

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.
