Right now, on certain architectures, these macros are usable only with
kernel headers. This patch makes it possible to use them with userspace
headers and, as a consequence, not only in BPF samples, but also in BPF
selftests.
On s390, provide the forward declaration of struct pt_regs and cast it
to user_pt_regs in PT_REGS_* macros. This is necessary, because instead
of the full struct pt_regs, s390 exposes only its first member
user_pt_regs to userspace, and bpf_helpers.h is used with both userspace
(in selftests) and kernel (in samples) headers. It was added in commit
466698e654 ("s390/bpf: correct broken uapi for
BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type").
Ditto on arm64.
On x86, provide userspace versions of PT_REGS_* macros. Unlike s390 and
arm64, x86 provides struct pt_regs to both userspace and kernel, however,
with different member names.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
