I replied some time ago on this part. I don't see the point these
macros.


I replied belatedly on April 20 saying what I did matches (more or less) how it's done on various other platforms, including arm and powerpc. It looks like this comes from the pt_regs structure defining the registers as an array instead of a list of structure fields. It looks to me like that design choice is pretty widely depended upon now and would be quite disruptive to change. It also seems to me a relatively clean way to do it on systems with a uniform register set.

Can you not just use "offsetof(struct pt_regs, r)" here? That would be
the same as x86, powerpc.


The registers (except for pc, pstate, and sp) are not separate structure fields, they are slots in a single array. To reference them the symbolic name has to be converted to an index (integer register number) somehow.

and stick to x16, x17, x29, x30 instead of the ip0 etc.


OK.

Do we need orig_x0 of MAX_REG_OFFSET doesn't include it?


I think this should indeed be removed.

BTW, these functions together with the pt_regs_offset structure look the
same on the other architectures. Can we move them to some common header
to avoid duplication (e.g. linux/ptrace.h)?


Common header *and* .c files? Yes, I see your point.

Same here.


Also makes sense and looks doable.
