Subject: [PATCH bpf v2] bpf, riscv: Make arena support depend on ZACAS
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 14:14:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902061451.1416-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

The arena range tree allocates its nodes with kmalloc_nolock() since
commit f8c67d8550ee ("bpf: Use kmalloc_nolock() in range tree").
kmalloc_nolock() requires slab caches with cmpxchg128 support
(__CMPXCHG_DOUBLE); on riscv cmpxchg128 is provided by the ZACAS
extension. On systems without ZACAS every arena map creation fails
with a misleading -ENOMEM.

Report the missing support instead: make bpf_jit_supports_arena()
return system_has_cmpxchg128() where it is defined, so arena map
creation fails with -EOPNOTSUPP on systems without ZACAS. The macro
is only defined when both CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZACAS and
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZACAS are enabled, so guard it with #ifdef the
same way mm/slab.h consumes it, and reject arena otherwise. This
matches how arena BPF_CMPXCHG instructions are already gated on ZACAS
in bpf_jit_supports_insn().

Changes since v1:
- Guard system_has_cmpxchg128() with #ifdef instead of calling it
  unconditionally: the macro is only defined when both
  CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZACAS and CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZACAS are enabled
  (as reported by sashiko-bot), so v1 broke the build when either
  was disabled. This mirrors how mm/slab.h consumes the macro.

Why #ifdef rather than rv_ext_enabled(ZACAS)? The predicates differ
exactly in the configurations that matter:

  scenario (ISA_ZACAS/TOOLCHAIN/hw)  v1           rv_ext_enabled  #ifdef
  ISA=n or TOOLCHAIN=n               build fails  rejects         rejects
  ISA=y TOOLCHAIN=n hw has ZACAS     build fails  accepts, then   rejects
                                                  -ENOMEM again
  ISA=y TOOLCHAIN=y hw has ZACAS     exact        exact           exact

rv_ext_enabled(ZACAS) does not check CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZACAS, but
slab's cmpxchg128 - and thus kmalloc_nolock() - does require it, so
on an old toolchain with ZACAS hardware it would accept arena maps
and bring back the very -ENOMEM failure this patch fixes. The #ifdef
form builds in every configuration and matches exactly the
kmalloc_nolock() availability gate in mm/slab.h.

This issue was reported by sashiko-bot:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260901120013.16104-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com?part=1

Question for reviewers: should the arena selftests gate on ZACAS,
e.g. probing it via riscv_hwprobe() (RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZACAS) and
SKIPping cleanly on systems without the extension?
