Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 13/20] libbpf: Resolve the compiler's _Unwind_Resume to the kernel's kfunc
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:57:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917055752.3932718-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917055645.3926444-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

LLVM terminates a cleanup landing pad with a call to _Unwind_Resume: the
base unwind ABI's entry point for carrying an unwind on once a frame's
cleanups have run. The kernel provides that terminator as a kfunc, but
not under that name: claiming _Unwind_Resume in the kernel's own symbol
table, for a function whose body never runs, would be needlessly confusing,
so it is called bpf_unwind_resume.
