Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 23/25] bpf, arm64: Map BPF_REG_0 to x8 instead of x7
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 21:51:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513045153.2402197-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513044949.2382019-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
From: Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org>
Move the BPF return value register from x7 to x8, freeing x7 for use
as an argument register. AAPCS64 designates x8 as the indirect result
location register; it is caller-saved and not used for argument
passing, making it a suitable home for BPF_REG_0.
This is a prerequisite for stack argument support, which needs x5-x7
to pass arguments 6-8 to native kfuncs following the AAPCS64 calling
convention.
