Why do you need to restore RV_REG_TCC? We're passing RV_REG_TCC (a6) as
an argument at all call-sites, and for tailcalls we're loading from the
stack.
Is this to fake the a6 argument for the tail-call? If so, it's better to
move it to emit_bpf_tail_call(), instead of letting all programs pay for
it.
Yes, we can remove this duplicate load. will do that at next version.
Hmm, no remove, but *move* right? Otherwise a6 can contain gargabe on
entering the tailcall?
Move it before __emit_epilogue() in the tailcall, no?
IIUC, we don't need to load it again. In emit_bpf_tail_call function, we
load TCC from stack to A6, A6--, then store A6 back to stack. Then
unwind the current stack and jump to target bpf prog, during this
period, we did not touch the A6 register, do we still need to load it again?
