Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 01/13] bpf: Factor check_global_ret_scalar_reg() out of the global return check
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 17:09:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811000916.2379316-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811000911.2378679-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

check_global_subprog_return_code() verifies that a global subprogram
returns void, an arena pointer, or register R0 holding a scalar value.
Later patches in this series add 16-byte aggregate return support, whose
second half is returned in R2 and needs the same validation.

Factor the per-register check into check_global_ret_scalar_reg(env, regno)
so that it can be reused for R2.
