It's not undefined behaviour here,
struct user_pt_regs {
         __u64           regs[31];
         __u64           sp;
         __u64           pc;
         __u64           pstate;
};
user_pt_regs->regs[31] is user_pt_regs->sp and the offset value is correct.

I think add a ptregs_offset field is more suitable and makes the code 
indepent
to struct user_pt_regs layout, for example if the structure changed to this:

struct user_pt_regs {
         __u64           sp;
         __u64           pc;
         __u64           pstate;
         __u64           regs[31];
};

The multiply result will be incorrect.
Patch updated and the change is similar to commit "4679bccaa308"
  (perf tools powerpc: Add support for generating bpf prologue)

Please review, thanks.
