Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 4/9] bpf, x86: Convert struct_ops arena arguments in the trampoline
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715220052.1590783-5-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715220052.1590783-1-memxor@gmail.com>
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Implement the struct_ops arena argument conversion on x86. save_args()
gains the conversion map from bpf_tramp_collect_arena_args() and, as it
copies each native argument into the BPF ctx, routes a marked slot
through RAX:
movl %esrc, %eax /* truncate and clear the upper 32 bits */
subl $base_lo, %eax
movq %rax, ctx_slot
A nullable slot tests the full 64-bit kernel pointer first:
movq %rsrc, %rax
testq %rax, %rax
jz 1f
subl $base_lo, %eax
1:
movq %rax, ctx_slot
The 32-bit subtraction is sufficient since (u32)(kaddr - base) ==
(u32)kaddr - (u32)base, and it clears the upper half as the JITs require
of arena pointer registers. Stack-passed arguments already reload
through RAX, so only the subtraction (and the NULL test) is inserted
there. The marked slots are tracked with a running slot counter shared
by the register and stack branches, matching the flattened ctx offsets
in ctx_arg_info. The size probe reruns the same emission with the same
tnodes, so the image size matches by construction.
With both the kfunc and struct_ops directions implemented, flip
bpf_jit_supports_arena_args() on for x86.
v3: New patch, moving the conversion from a BPF entry prologue into the
trampoline, per review from Kumar.
