Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Record each half of a paired return value in verifier diagnostics
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 07:49:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824144943.991316-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)

A subprogram returning more than 8 bytes comes back in the R0:R2 register
pair, and prepare_func_exit() copies both registers into the caller. The
diagnostic modification scope around that copy names only R0, so the write
into R2 is never recorded.

Fix it by opening a diagnostic modification scope for each return register.
This way, both return registers are recorded.

Fixes: 0630ad00d96d ("bpf: Add verifier support for 16-byte returns in R0: R2")
