The attach_func_proto for raw tracepoints points to the BTF func_proto of
__bpf_trace_* or btf_trace_* which has an extra "void *__data" as the
first parameter. For example, a tracepoint declared with TP_PROTO(int a)
results in a btf_trace_* typedef of "void (*)(void *__data, int a)" which
has 2 parameters.

Does btf_type_vlen() return the count including the hidden __data param?
If so, a tracepoint with 1 actual argument would report nr_args=2, but
the BPF context only contains 1 argument. Calling bpf_get_func_arg(ctx, 1)
would pass the bounds check (1 < 2) but read out of bounds from ctx.

The bpf_trace_run* functions populate args[] with only the actual
tracepoint arguments (see __bpf_trace_run() in kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c),
not including __data. Should nr_args be adjusted by subtracting 1 to
account for the hidden first parameter?
+				/* Save nr_args to reg0 */
+				insn_buf[0] = BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_0, nr_args);
+			} else {
+				/* Load nr_args from ctx - 8 */
+				insn_buf[0] = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_1, -8);
+			}

Same question here for bpf_get_func_arg_cnt() - should this subtract 1 to
exclude the __data parameter from the count returned to BPF programs?
