Add arg_flags for additional information about arguments in btf_func_model.
Currently, only whether an argument is a structure or not is recorded.
Such information will be used in arch specific function
arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() to prepare argument access properly
in trampoline.

Rename argument 'stack_size' to 'regs_off' in save_regs() and
restore_regs() since in reality 'stack_size' represents a particular
stack offset and 'regs_off' is the one in the caller argument.
Leter, another stack offset will be added to these two functions
for saving and restoring struct argument values.

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.

To support struct value argument and make bpf programs
easy to write, the bpf program function parameter is
changed from struct type to a pointer to struct type.
The following is a simplified example.

In one of later selftests, we have a bpf_testmod function:
    struct bpf_testmod_struct_arg_2 {
        long a;
        long b;
    };
    noinline int
    bpf_testmod_test_struct_arg_2(int a, struct bpf_testmod_struct_arg_2 b, int c) {
        bpf_testmod_test_struct_arg_result = a + b.a + b.b + c;
        return bpf_testmod_test_struct_arg_result;
    }

When a bpf program is attached to the bpf_testmod function
bpf_testmod_test_struct_arg_2(), the bpf program may look like
    SEC("fentry/bpf_testmod_test_struct_arg_2")
    int BPF_PROG(test_struct_arg_3, int a, struct bpf_testmod_struct_arg_2 *b, int c)
    {
        t2_a = a;
        t2_b_a = b->a;
        t2_b_b = b->b;
        t2_c = c;
        return 0;
    }

Basically struct value becomes a pointer to the struct.
The trampoline stack will be increased to store the stack values and
the pointer to these values will be saved in the stack slot corresponding
to that argument. For x86_64, the struct size is limited up to 16 bytes
so the struct can fit in one or two registers. The struct size of more
than 16 bytes is not supported now as our current use case is
for sockptr_t in the argument. We could handle such large struct's
in the future if we have concrete use cases.

The main changes are in save_regs() and restore_regs(). The following
illustrated the trampoline asm codes for save_regs() and restore_regs().
save_regs():
    /* first argument */
    mov    DWORD PTR [rbp-0x18],edi
    /* second argument: struct, save actual values and put the pointer to the slot */
    lea    rax,[rbp-0x40]
    mov    QWORD PTR [rbp-0x10],rax
    mov    QWORD PTR [rbp-0x40],rsi
    mov    QWORD PTR [rbp-0x38],rdx
    /* third argument */
    mov    DWORD PTR [rbp-0x8],esi
restore_regs():
    mov    edi,DWORD PTR [rbp-0x18]
    mov    rsi,QWORD PTR [rbp-0x40]
    mov    rdx,QWORD PTR [rbp-0x38]
    mov    esi,DWORD PTR [rbp-0x8]

ARM64 does not support struct argument for trampoline based
bpf programs yet.

Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com>
Add struct argument support in btf_ctx_access() and btf_distill_func_proto().
The arch-specific code will handle whether and how such struct arguments
are supported.
