Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 06/16] bpf: Limit the scope of BPF_REG_PARAMS usage
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:47:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417034729.2629367-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417034658.2625353-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
BPF_REG_PARAMS (r11) is used for stack argument accesses. The LLVM
compiler [1] only emits BPF_REG_PARAMS in the following instruction
forms:
- BPF_LDX | BPF_MEM (load incoming stack arg)
- BPF_ST | BPF_MEM (store immediate to outgoing stack arg)
- BPF_STX | BPF_MEM (store register to outgoing stack arg)
Reject any other use of BPF_REG_PARAMS in check_and_resolve_insns()
to prevent misuse.
Since BPF_REG_PARAMS is beyond MAX_BPF_REG, array-based register
tracking indexed by register number would cause out-of-bounds
accesses. So do early return if needed.
