Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 1/8] selftests/bpf: Build callx tests with GCC that defines __BPF_FEATURE_CALLX
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 14:07:10 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102220717.4079739-2-vineet.gupta@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102220717.4079739-1-vineet.gupta@linux.dev>
Commit 7cd1f73b37ea ("selftests/bpf: Fix build of callx tests with GCC")
gated the callx progs on __clang__. GCC had indirect call support which was
recently refurbished along with a __BPF_FEATURE_CALLX macro [1], so gate
on that as well so once this GCC is released, the tests start passing.
Put the arch and compiler conditions in a CAN_USE_CALLX macro in
bpf_misc.h, and use it in all the test programs.
While at it, mark the placeholder programs left for unsupported
toolchains and arches with __skip(), so they report SKIP rather than OK.
[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=ffe3ead4a8ad704b557b0cfa4f823df647c65a0d
Measured on bpf-next with a stock bpf-gcc that defines
__BPF_FEATURE_CALLX, test_progs before and after: 79 subtests run that
previously did not exist in the report, 78 OK and one @unpriv SKIP,
with no failures. The two dummy placeholders retire and
callx_rodata_lskel goes SKIP -> OK.
