Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 07/13] bpf, x86: Convert struct_ops arena arguments in the trampoline
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 23:04:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805210427.3218326-8-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805210427.3218326-1-memxor@gmail.com>
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Implement the struct_ops arena argument conversion on x86. save_args()
receives the arena base from bpf_tramp_arena_base() and consults the
btf_func_model argument flags as it copies each native argument into the
BPF ctx, routing a marked argument through RAX:
movl %esrc, %eax /* truncate and clear the upper 32 bits */
subl $base_lo, %eax
movq %rax, ctx_slot
A nullable argument 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.
Keeping arena and nullable classification in btf_func_model avoids a
parallel trampoline slot bitmap. bpf_tramp_arena_base() returns a base
only for a single-program struct_ops indirect trampoline; other
trampolines pass zero and perform no conversion. The size probe reruns
the same emission with the same model and nodes, 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.
