Do you have any document to understand the working of tail calls? I
looked at your presentations but it seemed confusing to me. Anything
simple would be great, just about the tail calls. I don't think I need
examples, I can get them from your presentations. I just need a very
general idea. May be you know the code in kernel where it is
implemented.

Sure, it's in __bpf_prog_run(), see the JMP_TAIL_CALL (kernel/bpf/core.c +1019).
That's effectively what JITs implement. [1] page 3 has a high-level description
as well, hope that helps.

Thanks,
Daniel
