Thanks for the pointing this out. There's a bug here.

1. The fp bottom is calculated in the prologue before tail call entry,
    so if the caller has a different fp bottom than the callee, the
    off_adj in callee's str/ldr will be wrong.

    For example, for the following two pieces of code, prog1 loads 64bits
    data from FP - 16, prog2 write 7 to FP - 8, when prog2 calls prog1
    via tail call, the data prog1 read out is 7!

    prog1:
     BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_DW, R0, BPF_REG_FP, -16)
     BPF_EXIT_INSN()

    prog2:
     BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_MOV, R0, 7)
     BPF_STX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_FP, R0, -8)
     TAIL_CALL(-1)

    The reason is that the fp bottom in prog2 is FP - 8, and the fp
    bottom is not updated during tail call, so when prog1 reads data from
    fp bottom, it acctually reads from FP - 8.

    jited prog1:
     sub x27, x25, #0x10 // calculate and store fp bottom, x27 = fp - 16
     bti j               // tail call entry     <----------------------
     ldr x7, [x27]       // load data from fp bottom + 0               |
                                                                       |
    jited prog2:                                                       |
     sub x27, x25, #0x8 // calculate and store fp bottom, x27 = fp - 8 |
     bti j                                                             |
     mov x7, #0x7                                                      |
     str x7, [x27]      // store 7 to fp bottom + 0                    |
     ...                                                               |
     br x10 // tail call prog1  ---------------------------------------

    This issue can be fixed by calculating fp bottom after the tail call
    entry:

     bti j               // tail call entry
     sub x27, x25, #0x10 // calculate and store fp bottom, x27 = fp - 16
     ldr x7, [x27]       // load data from bottom + 0

2. For bpf2bpf calls, the call entry is callee's first instruction, so
    the fp bottom will be updated every time, seems to be fine.
