Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 01/12] bpf: Factor check_global_ret_scalar_reg() out of the global return check
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 13:09:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708200944.2153909-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708200939.2153664-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
Function check_global_subprog_return_code() verifies that a global subprogram
returns void, an arena pointer, or register R0 which holds a scalar value.
Later patches in this series add 16-byte aggregate return support, whose
second half is returned in R2 and needs similar validation.
Factor the per-register check into check_global_ret_scalar_reg(env, regno) so
it can be reused for R2.
