Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/1] bpf, arm64: fix fp initialization for exception boundary
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 13:34:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250722133410.54161-2-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250722133410.54161-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
In the ARM64 BPF JIT when prog->aux->exception_boundary is set for a BPF
program, find_used_callee_regs() is not called because for a program
acting as exception boundary, all callee saved registers are saved.
find_used_callee_regs() sets `ctx->fp_used = true;` when it sees FP
being used in any of the instructions.
For programs acting as exception boundary, ctx->fp_used remains false
even if frame pointer is used by the program and therefore, FP is not
set-up for such programs in the prologue. This can cause the kernel to
crash due to a pagefault.
Fix it by setting ctx->fp_used = true for exception boundary programs as
fp is always saved in such programs.
Fixes: 5d4fa9ec5643 ("bpf, arm64: Avoid blindly saving/restoring all callee-saved registers")
