Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/6] bpf, riscv: Clear fetch destination on faulting arena atomic
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:18:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810221811.481040-2-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810221811.481040-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
A RMW atomic on an arena pointer is converted to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC and
gets an exception table entry, but that entry records no destination
register to clear unless the instruction is a load-acquire today. That
is right for a plain BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR}, which only writes memory,
but an RMW carrying BPF_FETCH also reads the old value into a register:
src_reg for BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR} | BPF_FETCH and BPF_XCHG, and r0 for
BPF_CMPXCHG. emit_atomic_rmw() emits it that way, e.g.:
[...]
case BPF_XCHG:
ctx->ex_insn_off = ctx->ninsns;
emit(is64 ? rv_amoswap_d(rs, rs, rd, 1, 1) :
rv_amoswap_w(rs, rs, rd, 1, 1), ctx);
[...]
Thus, a fault over an unmapped arena page ex_handler_bpf() jumps over
the access but leaves rs untouched, and the program resumes with
whatever it held before the atomic instead of the 0 that every other
BPF_PROBE_* access delivers. Fill the exception table entry in from
bpf_atomic_load_reg(), which returns the BPF register an atomic reads
the memory operand into or -1 when it has none. A load-acquire ends up
with the same register it gets today, it just goes through the helper.
Unlike x86-64 and arm64, riscv64 does not report arena violations from
its exception handler, so there is no access direction to correct here,
only the missing register clear.
