This work adds BPF_CALL_<n>() macros and converts all the eBPF helper functions to use them, in a similar fashion like we do with SYSCALL_DEFINE<n>() macros that are used today. Motivation for this is to hide all the register handling and all necessary casts from the user, so that it is done automatically in the background when adding a BPF_CALL_<n>() call. This makes current helpers easier to review, eases to write future helpers, avoids getting the casting mess wrong, and allows for extending all helpers at once (f.e. build time checks, etc). It also helps detecting more easily in code reviews that unused registers are not instrumented in the code by accident, breaking compatibility with existing programs. BPF_CALL_<n>() internals are quite similar to SYSCALL_DEFINE<n>() ones with some fundamental differences, for example, for generating the actual helper function that carries all u64 regs, we need to fill unused regs, so that we always end up with 5 u64 regs as an argument. I reviewed several 0-5 generated BPF_CALL_<n>() variants of the .i results and they look all as expected. No sparse issue spotted. We let this also sit for a few days with Fengguang's kbuild test robot, and there were no issues seen. On s390, it barked on the "uses dynamic stack allocation" notice, which is an old one from bpf_perf_event_output{,_tp}() reappearing here due to the conversion to the call wrapper, just telling that the perf raw record/frag sits on stack (gcc with s390's -mwarn-dynamicstack), but that's all. Did various runtime tests and they were fine as well. All eBPF helpers are now converted to use these macros, getting rid of a good chunk of all the raw castings.
