Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Prevent inlining of bpf_fentry_test7()
Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2023 13:08:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230826200843.2210074-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
With latest clang18, I hit test_progs failures for the following test:
#13/2 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_link_api:FAIL
#13/3 bpf_cookie/multi_kprobe_attach_api:FAIL
#13 bpf_cookie:FAIL
#75 fentry_fexit:FAIL
#76/1 fentry_test/fentry:FAIL
#76 fentry_test:FAIL
#80/1 fexit_test/fexit:FAIL
#80 fexit_test:FAIL
#110/1 kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:FAIL
#110/2 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:FAIL
#110/3 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_syms:FAIL
#110/4 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_pattern:FAIL
#110/5 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_addrs:FAIL
#110/6 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_syms:FAIL
#110 kprobe_multi_test:FAIL
For example, for #13/2, the error messages are
...
kprobe_multi_test_run:FAIL:kprobe_test7_result unexpected kprobe_test7_result: actual 0 != expected 1
...
kprobe_multi_test_run:FAIL:kretprobe_test7_result unexpected kretprobe_test7_result: actual 0 != expected 1
clang17 does not have this issue.
Further investigation shows that kernel func bpf_fentry_test7(), used
in the above tests, is inlined by the compiler although it is
marked as noinline.
int noinline bpf_fentry_test7(struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg)
{
return (long)arg;
}
It is known that for simple functions like the above (e.g. just returning
a constant or an input argument), the clang compiler may still do inlining
for a noinline function. Adding 'asm volatile ("")' in the beginning of the
bpf_fentry_test7() can prevent inlining.
