====================
'bpf_fastcall' attribute in vmlinux.h and bpf_helper_defs.h
The goal of this patch-set is to reflect attribute bpf_fastcall
for supported helpers and kfuncs in generated header files.
For helpers this requires a tweak for scripts/bpf_doc.py and an update
to uapi/linux/bpf.h doc-comment.
For kfuncs this requires:
- introduction of a new KF_FASTCALL flag;
- modification to pahole to read kfunc flags and generate
DECL_TAG "bpf_fastcall" for marked kfuncs;
- modification to bpftool to scan for DECL_TAG "bpf_fastcall"
presence.
In both cases the following helper macro is defined in the generated
header:
#ifndef __bpf_fastcall
#if __has_attribute(bpf_fastcall)
#define __bpf_fastcall __attribute__((bpf_fastcall))
#else
#define __bpf_fastcall
#endif
#endif
And is used to mark appropriate function prototypes. More information
about bpf_fastcall attribute could be found in [1] and [2].
Modifications to pahole are submitted separately.

[2] Linux kernel tree commit (note: feature was renamed from
no_caller_saved_registers to bpf_fastcall after this commit):
