Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 08/23] bpf: Refuse a landing pad that does not resume
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 00:50:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008075040.2999036-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008074959.2993751-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

A cleanup pad runs drop glue and calls bpf_unwind_resume(), so its frame
returns and the unwind goes on. A catch pad carries on in its frame
instead. Only the first is supported: bpf_unwind() rewrites every frame's
return address in one pass, so a catch pad's caller would still resume
at a pad.

Nothing in the record says which kind a pad is, but the code does: a
cleanup pad reaches _Unwind_Resume, a catch pad a return. So the unwind
marks the frame whose pad it enters, and refuses in the marked code:

  refused                                  where
  ---------------------------------------  ----------------------------
  an exit: how a catch pad ends            the pad's own frame
  a tail call, a BPF_LD_[ABS|IND]: it      the pad's own frame
    leaves through an exit on a failed
    load
  an indirect jump: nothing a compiler     the pad's own frame
    frontend emits in a pad needs one
  a bpf_unwind(), a call to a global       the pad and its callees
    subprog that might_unwind
  a bpf_unwind_resume() outside a pad      any program

The first three are refused only in the pad's own frame: a subprog the
pad calls may do them and still come back.
