Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 16/20] libbpf: Carry the exception cleanup table through the light skeleton
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:58:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917055807.3934205-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917055645.3926444-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
A light skeleton does not call bpf_prog_load(). bpf_gen__prog_load() builds
its own union bpf_attr field by field, and the loader program it emits is
what issues BPF_PROG_LOAD when the skeleton runs -- so a program loaded
this way reached the kernel without the table the previous patch collected
for it. The load then fails, because the landing pads are code nothing
reaches and the verifier says so. It says "unreachable insn", which names
neither the skeleton nor the table.
Carry it the way func_info and line_info are carried: the records go into
the loader's blob of bytes, the count and record size into the attr, and a
relocation stores the blob's address into attr.cleanup_info once that
address is known. The attr grows to its new last field, cleanup_info_cnt.
Records are 4-byte fields like the other info blobs, so a cross-endian
build has to swap them too.
The kfunc names take the same detour. The light skeleton writes the name
into the blob for the loader program to resolve when it runs, rather than
resolving it against the kernel's BTF while libbpf runs, so the name
recorded there has to go through kern_extern_name() as well.
