There's some good info on that here:

"Dissecting objc_msgSend on ARM64" https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2017-06-30-dissecti...

"Let's Build objc_msgSend" https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2012-11-16-lets-bui...

There's also the "Illustrated history of objc_msgSend", although it appears a bit dated, it has some nice commentary on the evolution of this very performance-critical part of the objective-c runtime: http://sealiesoftware.com/msg/index.html
