Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 06/12] bpf: Force JIT for programs using the R0:R2 register pair
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 13:10:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708201010.2158718-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708200939.2153664-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

The R0:R2 return convention introduced in this series is only implemented
in the JIT. The BPF interpreter has no notion of a second return register,
so a program relying on the R0:R2 convention would compute wrong results
under the interpreter. Force the JIT when bpf_prog_aux->ret_reg_pair is
set.
