Accept one of at most 16 bytes, which arrives in one or two consecutive argument registers. Only structs composed entirely of scalars are taken for now; btf_struct_is_composed_of() enforces that. The slots of a value are independent of each other, so the compiler may split one across the last argument register and the stack, as in static void f(int a, int b, int c, int d, struct pair p); or place it wholly past the registers, and the verifier describes either the same way. What has to follow the slots is stack_arg_cnt, recomputed from the slots consumed, together with the "no stack args in global functions" and JIT support checks, and the MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS bound, which now has to account for a parameter that takes two slots at once. The previous patch made sub->arg_cnt a count of argument slots; this is the first patch where that count can exceed the number of BTF parameters, so a slot index no longer indexes the parameter array. Have btf_check_func_arg_match() hand the parameters to check_outgoing_stack_args(), which uses them only to name a stack argument in its diagnostic, just when the two counts still agree.
