Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 09/20] bpf: Refuse a private stack for a program with an exception cleanup table
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 22:43:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920054312.869165-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920054225.864535-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

A private stack is hard to support together with an exception cleanup
table on x86-64: a landing pad runs on the bpf_throw() walker's stack with
its frame's registers put back from a spill area, and carrying the private
stack's frame pointer through there as well would cost a register that
architecture cannot spare.

Refuse the combination in check_max_stack_depth(), where the choice is
made, and refuse it on every architecture for now rather than just x86-64.
