Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 11/16] bpf: Support stack arguments for kfunc calls
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:47:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417034754.2630932-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417034658.2625353-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

Extend the stack argument mechanism to kfunc calls, allowing kfuncs
with more than 5 parameters to receive additional arguments via the
r11-based stack arg area.

For kfuncs, the caller is a BPF program and the callee is a kernel
function. The BPF program writes outgoing args at negative r11
offsets, following the same convention as BPF-to-BPF calls:

  Outgoing: r11 - 8 (arg6), ..., r11 - N*8 (last arg)

The following is an example:

  int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) {
    ...
    kfunc1(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8);
    ...
    kfunc2(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9);
    ...
  }

   Caller (foo), generated by llvm
   ===============================
   Incoming (positive offsets):
     r11+8:  [incoming arg 6]
     r11+16: [incoming arg 7]

   Outgoing for kfunc1 (negative offsets):
     r11-8:  [outgoing arg 6]
     r11-16: [outgoing arg 7]
     r11-24: [outgoing arg 8]

   Outgoing for kfunc2 (negative offsets):
     r11-8:  [outgoing arg 6]
     r11-16: [outgoing arg 7]
     r11-24: [outgoing arg 8]
     r11-32: [outgoing arg 9]

Later JIT will marshal outgoing arguments to the native calling
convention for kfunc1() and kfunc2().

There are two places where meta->release_regno needs to keep
regno for later releasing the reference. Also, 'cur_aux(env)->arg_prog = regno'
is also keeping regno for later fixup. Since stack arguments don't have a valid
register number (regno is set to -1), these three cases are rejected for now
if the argument is on the stack.
