took me some time to get why the [narg - 12] :) it makes sense, but
then I started wondering why not

#define ___bpf_build_param12(narg, x, args...)
___bpf_build_param11(narg, args); ___param[11] = x

? seems more straightforward, no?

also please keep all of them on single line. And to make lines
shorter, let's call it ___bpf_fillX? I also don't like hard-coded
___param, which is both inflexible and is obscure at the point of use
of this macro. So let's pass it as the first argument?

> +

And here I'd pass array as a parameter and let caller define it, so
macro is literally just filling the array elements, not defining the
array itself and what's the type of elements

here you are violating separation of variables and code,
___bpf_build_param is defining a variable, then has code statements,
then you are declaring ___ret after the code. So please split ___ret
definition,
