Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 06/11] bpf: Reject stack arguments in non-JITed programs
Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 09:54:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405165428.836022-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405165300.826241-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
The interpreter does not understand the bpf register r12
(BPF_REG_STACK_ARG_BASE) used for stack argument addressing. So
reject interpreter usage if stack arguments are used either
in the main program or any subprogram.
