Description
By default, eBPF only supports a 5-argument register calling convention. This is the only "standardized" ABI. In practice, compilers support stack-passing calling conventions for further arguments, and Rust is not required to follow a standard ABI for Rust to Rust calls. Nonetheless, because 5 args is the only standard, reputedly 5 args is what LLVM implements and the rest must be implemented by the frontend. We should be supporting argument-passing on the stack for extern "Rust" on eBPF if we're going to bother supporting bpfe{l,b}-unknown-none at all.
I'm opening this in advance of assembling a full repro before I forget it. It is possible this is no longer an issue and we only need an assembly test to verify we can handle 10 args on eBPF. h/t @saleemrashid
