bpf: x86: Support in-register struct arguments in trampoline programs
In C, struct value can be passed as a function argument. For small structs, struct value may be passed in one or more registers. For trampoline based bpf programs, this would cause complication since one-to-one mapping between function argument and arch argument register is not valid any more. The latest llvm16 added bpf support to pass by values for struct up to 16 bytes ([1]). This is also true for x86_64 architecture where two registers will hold the struct value if the struct size is >8 and <= 16. This may not be true if one of struct member is 'double' type but in current linux source code we don't have such instance yet, so we assume all >8 && <= 16 struct holds two general purpose argument registers. Also change on-stack nr_args value to the number of registers holding the arguments. This will permit bpf_get_func_arg() helper to get all argument values.
