The size of &regs->a0 is unknown, causing the error:

'__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write
beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()?
[-Wattribute-warning]

I can't reproduce this warning with gcc and llvm, even when setting by hand
-Wattribute-warning when compiling bpf_trace.c (which is the user of
ftrace_partial_regs()).

Which toolchain did you use?
You need to have the configs:
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y
CONFIG_FPROBE=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y

I used gcc 14.2.0


I was missing FPROBE!

Fix this by wrapping the required registers in pt_regs with
struct_group() and reference the group when doing the offending
memcpy().
