Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 04/20] bpf: Prepare for an exception cleanup table before the CFG walk
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 22:42:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920054246.866704-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920054225.864535-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

Some plumbing work is done before bpf_check_cfg(). More specifically,
insn_aux_data records cleanup_throw_site for every bpf_throw() and
cleanup_resume_site for every bpf_unwind_resume() -- the two calls a JIT
lowers its own way rather than as calls -- and cleanup_pad, the landing pad
a frame resumes at, for every call within the [begin_off, end_off) range of
a cleanup record. Subsequent commits consume all three.

Marking the two calls here, rather than recognising them in the JIT, is
what makes the recognition exact: by the time a JIT runs,
bpf_fixup_kfunc_call() has rewritten every other kfunc's imm into an offset
from __bpf_call_base, and a BTF id compared against one of those offsets
could match an unrelated call.

bpf_prepare_cleanup_exceptions() runs before bpf_check_cfg(), because what
it produces is what the CFG walk consumes. It refuses a table on an
offloaded program, on a program whose JIT cannot dispatch landing pads or
which the JIT was not asked to compile, and on a program that also installs
an exception callback -- two different answers to what runs on the way out.
bpf_jit_supports_cleanup_pads() is weak here and says no; the arch patches
provide the real ones.
