Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 01/20] bpf: Accept the compiler's exception cleanup table at program load
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:42:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918044201.3284339-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918044156.3283973-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
LLVM 23 added exception handling support for BPF with the .bpf_cleanup
section ([1]). Rust code compiled with panic=unwind runs cleanup code
(Drop glue) when bpf_throw() fires, and the LLVM BPF backend emits that
section from the landing pads the frontend produced. Plain C cannot
generate .bpf_cleanup unless inline asm is used. The Rust compiler does not
*properly* support BPF exception handling yet, but the kernel can support
the table today, and inline assembly is enough to test it.
Add the UAPI to carry the .bpf_cleanup table into the kernel. BPF_PROG_LOAD
grows cleanup_info, cleanup_info_cnt and cleanup_info_rec_size, and struct
bpf_cleanup_info describes one record as a triple of instruction indices:
the half-open call-site range [begin_off, end_off) and the landing_pad_off
the frame resumes at. check_cleanup_info() validates the table a program is
loaded with, so the rest of the kernel can rely on it.
