Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 01/12] selftests/bpf: Add a test for an __int128 by-value argument
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 23:25:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909062528.4002148-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909062522.4001896-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
A 128-bit integer is passed in two consecutive argument registers, but
the verifier counts one argument register per parameter whatever its
size. For
__u64 take_i128_global(int a, u128 v, int c)
the compiler passes a in R1, v in R2:R3 and c in R4, while the verifier
marks only R1 through R3 at the entry of the global function. The callee
then reads its own third parameter out of a register the verifier
considers uninitialized, and the program is rejected for a register the
source never names:
Validating take_i128_global() func#1...
20: R1=scalar() R2=scalar() R3=scalar() R10=fp0
; __noinline __u64 take_i128_global(int a, u128 v, int c) @ verifier_int128_arg.c:12
20: (bf) r0 = r2 ; R0=scalar(id=4) R2=scalar(id=4)
; return (__u64)a + (__u64)(v >> 64) + (__u64)v + c; @ verifier_int128_arg.c:14
21: (bc) w1 = w1 ; R1=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
22: (67) r1 <<= 32 ; R1=scalar(smax=0x7fffffff00000000,smin32=0,smax32=umax32=0,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff00000000))
23: (c7) r1 s>>= 32 ; R1=scalar(smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff)
24: (0f) r0 += r1 ; R0=scalar() R1=scalar(smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff)
25: (0f) r0 += r3 ; R0=scalar() R3=scalar()
26: (bc) w1 = w4
R4 !read_ok
The log is from clang 23. LLVM 21/22 place the argument in the same
registers.
Add the test with the failure it produces now. A later patch will fix
this issue so this test should succeed.
