Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 09/18] bpf: Support stack arguments for bpf functions
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 21:59:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260412045955.257613-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260412045826.254200-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
Currently BPF functions (subprogs) are limited to 5 register arguments.
With [1], the compiler can emit code that passes additional arguments
via a dedicated stack area through bpf register
BPF_REG_STACK_ARG_BASE (r12), introduced in the previous patch.
The compiler uses positive r12 offsets for incoming (callee-side) args
and negative r12 offsets for outgoing (caller-side) args, following the
x86_64/arm64 calling convention direction. There is an 8-byte gap at
offset 0 separating the two regions:
Incoming (callee reads): r12+8 (arg6), r12+16 (arg7), ...
Outgoing (caller writes): r12-N*8 (arg6), ..., r12-8 (last arg)
The following is an example to show how stack arguments are saved
and transferred between caller and callee:
int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) {
...
bar(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8);
...
}
Caller (foo) Callee (bar)
============ ============
Incoming (positive offsets): Incoming (positive offsets):
r12+8: [incoming arg 6] r12+8: [incoming arg 6] <-+
r12+16: [incoming arg 7] r12+16: [incoming arg 7] <-|+
r12+24: [incoming arg 8] <-||+
Outgoing (negative offsets): |||
r12-24: [outgoing arg 6 to bar] -------->-------------------------+||
r12-16: [outgoing arg 7 to bar] -------->--------------------------+|
r12-8: [outgoing arg 8 to bar] -------->---------------------------+
Note the reversed order: the caller's most negative outgoing offset
(arg6) maps to the callee's first positive incoming offset (arg6).
The caller stores arg6 at r12-24 (= -3*8 for 3 stack args), and
the callee reads it at r12+8.
If the bpf function has more than one call:
int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) {
...
bar1(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8);
...
bar2(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9);
...
}
Caller (foo) Callee (bar2)
============ ==============
Incoming (positive offsets): Incoming (positive offsets):
r12+8: [incoming arg 6] r12+8: [incoming arg 6] <+
r12+16: [incoming arg 7] r12+16: [incoming arg 7] <|+
r12+24: [incoming arg 8] <||+
Outgoing for bar2 (negative offsets): r12+32: [incoming arg 9] <|||+
r12-32: [outgoing arg 6] ---->----------->-------------------------+|||
r12-24: [outgoing arg 7] ---->----------->--------------------------+||
r12-16: [outgoing arg 8] ---->----------->---------------------------+|
r12-8: [outgoing arg 9] ---->----------->----------------------------+
The verifier tracks stack arg slots separately from the regular r10
stack. A new 'bpf_stack_arg_state' structure mirrors the existing stack
slot tracking (spilled_ptr + slot_type[]) but lives in a dedicated
'stack_arg_slots' array in bpf_func_state. This separation keeps the
stack arg area from interfering with the normal stack and frame pointer
(r10) bookkeeping. Similar to stacksafe(), introduce stack_arg_safe()
to do pruning check.
Callback functions with stack arguments need kernel setup parameter
types (including stack parameters) properly and then callback function
can retrieve such information for verification purpose.
Global subprogs with >5 args are not yet supported.
