Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 14/15] selftests/bpf: Add inline-asm tests for by-value arguments
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 12:53:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912195308.992139-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912195156.980886-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
The tests cover a struct passed in a register pair, a pointer in one half
of it refused at the call site, a struct too large to pass by value, and
four placements a global function cannot have: six scalars, a struct split
between the last argument register and the stack, one wholly past the
registers, and an __int128 whose two slots push the last parameter out.
The six-scalar case is the one whose slot count is known from the
parameters alone, so it takes the check btf_prepare_func_args() makes
before it walks them, while the other three take the one it makes after.
Both report the same way.
GCC passes an aggregate by invisible reference, so a callee it compiles
expects a pointer where BTF says the halves of the struct are, and those
tests are left to clang.
