This is the assembly code for __x64_sys_connect.

ffffffff818d3520 <__x64_sys_connect>:
ffffffff818d3520: e8 fb df 32 00        callq   0xffffffff81c01520 
<__fentry__>
ffffffff818d3525: 48 8b 57 60           movq    96(%rdi), %rdx
ffffffff818d3529: 48 8b 77 68           movq    104(%rdi), %rsi
ffffffff818d352d: 48 8b 7f 70           movq    112(%rdi), %rdi
ffffffff818d3531: e8 1a ff ff ff        callq   0xffffffff818d3450 
<__sys_connect>
ffffffff818d3536: 48 98                 cltq
ffffffff818d3538: c3                    retq
ffffffff818d3539: 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00  nopl    (%rax)

In bpf program, the step is:
       struct pt_regs *real_regs = PT_REGS_PARM1(pt_regs);
       param1 = PT_REGS_PARM1(real_regs);
       param2 = PT_REGS_PARM2(real_regs);
       param3 = PT_REGS_PARM3(real_regs);
The same for s390.

For other architectures, no above indirection is needed.

I guess you can abstract the above into trace_common.h?
