Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 06/20] bpf: Explore the landing pads no call site reaches
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:57:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917055716.3929570-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917055645.3926444-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

A cleanup record need not cover a call an exception can unwind out of: a
frontend is free to emit a region around a helper or an ordinary kfunc,
both nounwind here. Nothing marks a call site then, and that record's
landing pad is reached by nothing at all -- leaving bpf_check_cfg() to
refuse the program over code its own frontend had no way not to emit:

   0: call bpf_preempt_disable
   1: call bpf_preempt_enable      record = { begin = 1, end = 2, pad = 4 }
   2: r0 = 0
   3: exit
   4: r1 = pads_ran ll             landing pad
   6: r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
   7: r2 |= RAN_NOUNWIND_REC
   8: *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) = r2
   9: call bpf_unwind_resume
  10: exit

The range [1,2) holds one call, and it is a kfunc, so an exception cannot
come out of it. cleanup_mark_call_sites() marks nothing, nothing pushes an
edge to 4, and 4 through 10 are reachable from nothing: "unreachable insn
4". The pad is dead, which is correct -- no exception can ever arrive at it
-- but the program is fine and has to load.

Walk every pad the table names that the edges did not reach, the way the
walk is already re-seeded at an exception callback. From there the pad is
code like any other: do_check() never enters it, because no call site
dispatches to it, so the dead code sweep removes it along with everything
else that was not reached.
