Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 6/6] selftests/bpf: Add arena fault tests for atomics with fetch
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:18:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810221811.481040-6-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810221811.481040-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>

Add stream_arena_xchg_fault and stream_arena_cmpxchg_fault next to the
existing read, write and load-acquire fault tests, covering the two
places a read-modify-write can deposit the old value: src_reg for a
BPF_XCHG and r0 for a BPF_CMPXCHG. Both cover both halves of the JIT
bug that left the fetch destination alone when a RMW on an arena pointer
faulted:

  - the fault has to be reported as a WRITE, and at the address held by
    the destination register, which __stderr() and test_address() check
  - the register receiving the fetched value has to be cleared by the
    fault handler, which the programs check by poisoning it before the
    atomic and returning it, so __retval(0) fails if it is left untouched

The __stderr() annotation can only wildcard the faulting address since
the arena base is not known until runtime, hence the two test_address()
subtests on top, which pin it to the address held by dst_reg rather than
src_reg.

Note, the atomics are open coded since linux/filter.h cannot be included
alongside vmlinux.h.
