bpf,x86: Implement JIT support for stack arguments
Add x86_64 JIT support for BPF functions and kfuncs with more than
5 arguments. The extra arguments are passed through a stack area
addressed by register r11 (BPF_REG_PARAMS) in BPF bytecode,
which the JIT translates to native code.
The JIT follows the x86-64 calling convention for both BPF-to-BPF
and kfunc calls:
- Arg 6 is passed in the R9 register
- Args 7+ are passed on the stack
Incoming arg 6 (BPF r11+8) is translated to a MOV from R9 rather
than a memory load. Incoming args 7+ (BPF r11+16, r11+24, ...) map
directly to [rbp + 16], [rbp + 24], ..., matching the x86-64 stack
layout after CALL + PUSH RBP, so no offset adjustment is needed.
tail_call_reachable is rejected by the verifier and priv_stack is
disabled by the JIT when stack args exist, so R9 is always
available. When BPF bytecode writes to the arg-6 stack slot
(offset -8), the JIT emits a MOV into R9 instead of a memory store.
Outgoing args 7+ are placed at [rsp] in a pre-allocated area below
callee-saved registers, using:
native_off = outgoing_arg_base - outgoing_rsp - bpf_off - 16
The native x86_64 stack layout with stack arguments:
high address
+-------------------------+
| incoming stack arg N | [rbp + 16 + (N-7)*8] (from caller)
| ... |
| incoming stack arg 7 | [rbp + 16]
+-------------------------+
| return address | [rbp + 8]
| saved rbp | [rbp]
+-------------------------+
| BPF program stack | (round_up(stack_depth, 8) bytes)
+-------------------------+
| callee-saved regs | (r12, rbx, r13, r14, r15 as needed)
+-------------------------+
| outgoing arg M | [rsp + (M-7)*8]
| ... |
| outgoing arg 7 | [rsp]
+-------------------------+ rsp
low address
