I guess the official doc you guys are looking for is the x86-64 ABI:

https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/

and recent pdfs are here:

https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/-/wikis/x86-64-psABI

and there you scroll to

"A.2 AMD64 Linux Kernel Conventions

...

A.2.1 Calling Conventions"

and that section explains which regs go where.

HTH.
