bpf_throw() walks the BPF call stack to the exception boundary and
discards every frame in between. A frame that owns something -- an RCU
read lock, a preemption-disabled section, a referenced kptr -- never gets
to give it back, so the verifier refuses to let such a frame throw at
all. That is the whole reason a Rust program cannot use bpf_throw() as
its panic path right now: Rust's Drop glue *is* that give-back, and there
is nowhere to run it.
LLVM 23 added the compiler half ([1]). A Rust function that owns a value
across a call that can unwind
fn foo() {
let _guard = RcuReadGuard::new(); /* bpf_rcu_read_lock() */
may_throw(); /* extern "C-unwind" */
} /* Drop: rcu_read_unlock */
lowers to an invoke with a cleanup landing pad holding the Drop call, and
the BPF backend writes one record per invoke region into a .bpf_cleanup
section: a flat table of 12-byte (begin, end, landing_pad) triples, each
field a byte offset into the code section. The rule is "if a frame unwinds
with its return address in [begin, end), run landing_pad before discarding
it". A pad ends with a call to _Unwind_Resume(), which the kernel provides
as the bpf_unwind_resume() kfunc.
This series is the kernel half: take that table at BPF_PROG_LOAD, teach
the verifier that a covered call can also go to its landing pad, and have
bpf_throw() run the pads as it walks.
C has no unwinding, so the selftests spell out by hand what a frontend
emits -- a call site bracketed by two labels, a landing pad, and a record
tying them together. The frame above, written that way:
"call bpf_rcu_read_lock;"
"1:" "call foo3;" /* cleanup region */
"2:"
... normal path, ends in bpf_rcu_read_unlock ...
"6:" /* landing pad */
"call bpf_rcu_read_unlock;"
"call bpf_unwind_resume;"
CLEANUP_REC("1b", "2b", "6b")
Right now that program does not load: the throw inside foo3 is reported as
"bpf_throw cannot be used inside bpf_rcu_read_lock-ed region", because as
far as the verifier is concerned nothing will ever unlock. With the series
the verifier walks the unwind the same way the run time will -- into the
pad, which unlocks, then on to the next frame -- and the program both
loads and releases the lock when it throws.
Design
======
A pad is run, not lowered. bpf_throw() already walks the frames with
arch_bpf_stack_walk(); it now looks each frame's return address up in
that (sub)program's table and calls the pad as a subroutine of the walker,
with the unwinding frame's frame pointer and its callee-saved registers
restored from the spill its callee's prologue left. The pad therefore sees
its own frame but runs on the walker's stack, far below it, so nothing it
calls can disturb the frame it is cleaning up after. The JIT turns its
bpf_unwind_resume() into the way back to the walker.
The verifier walks the same thing, step for step, so the resource rules
are unchanged: whatever a pad releases is released in the verifier state
too, and check_resource_leak() simply moves from "a throw was seen" to the
end of the walk.
1-2 uapi: cleanup_info in BPF_PROG_LOAD, struct bpf_cleanup_info,
and the bpf_unwind_resume() kfunc
3-9 verifier: mark the covered call sites, give them an edge to the
pad, walk the unwind, and refuse the shapes that cannot be
dispatched
10 bpf_throw(): dispatch pads while walking
11-12 x86-64 and arm64 JITs
13-17 libbpf: collect .bpf_cleanup, pass it to the kernel, resolve
_Unwind_Resume, carry it through the light skeleton and the
static linker
18-20 selftests
Limitations
===========
- Cleanup pads only. A catch pad -- one that ends in a plain exit rather
than a resume, which is what Rust's catch_unwind would need -- is
refused: the walker calls a pad as a subroutine and cannot hand a frame
back its own execution. LLVM refuses type-specific catches and filters
on its side as well.
- A JIT that can dispatch pads is required: x86-64 (with
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, which bpf_throw() already needs there) and arm64.
Anywhere else the load fails with -EOPNOTSUPP rather than silently
doing nothing.
- No offloaded programs, no private stack, and no combining a table with
an exception callback.
- In a pad body: no tail call, no BPF_LD_[ABS|IND], no indirect jump, and
no on-stack call arguments -- each of them reads or writes a stack the
pad does not own.
- The Rust toolchain does not properly support BPF exception handling
yet. The tables the selftests use are hand-written inline asm, which
the assembler turns into the same relocations the BPF AsmPrinter emits,
so libbpf and the kernel see an object indistinguishable from a
compiler-generated one.

llvm commit 9d51c891b719 ("[BPF] Add exception handling support
with .bpf_cleanup section")
Changelog
=========
v2 -> v3:
- v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260918044156.3283973-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
- Keep a landing pad's record when opt_remove_nops() deletes a pad that is
a nop, instead of dropping it after the verifier has already checked the
call site against it.
- Refuse a BPF_LD_[ABS|IND] in a pad body.
- Teach mark_chain_precision() about the throw-to-pad edge, which crosses
frames with no instruction to account for them.
- Refuse a bpf_unwind_resume() in any frame but the one whose landing pad
the walker entered.
- Check raw_data, alignment and bounds before the static linker writes
through a relocation in a non-executable section, which may be SHT_NOBITS.
v1 -> v2:
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260917055645.3926444-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
- Consolidate all usages of kern_extern_name() in a single patch in libbpf.
- Avoid compiler warning and add proper cleanup_info_cnt guard in libbpf when
collecting .bpf_cleanup records.
- Add cleanup_info_cnt condition for emit_rel_store() with cleanup_info.

LLVM 23 added exception handling support for BPF with the .bpf_cleanup
section ([1]). Rust code compiled with panic=unwind runs cleanup code
(Drop glue) when bpf_throw() fires, and the LLVM BPF backend emits that
section from the landing pads the frontend produced. Plain C cannot
generate .bpf_cleanup unless inline asm is used. The Rust compiler does not
*properly* support BPF exception handling yet, but the kernel can support
the table today, and inline assembly is enough to test it.
Add the UAPI to carry the .bpf_cleanup table into the kernel. BPF_PROG_LOAD
grows cleanup_info, cleanup_info_cnt and cleanup_info_rec_size, and struct
bpf_cleanup_info describes one record as a triple of instruction indices:
the half-open call-site range [begin_off, end_off) and the landing_pad_off
the frame resumes at. check_cleanup_info() validates the table a program is
loaded with, so the rest of the kernel can rely on it.

A compiler-emitted cleanup landing pad ends with a call to
_Unwind_Resume(), which carries the unwind on once that frame's cleanups
have run. The kernel provides the same terminator as a kfunc, named
bpf_unwind_resume() to keep the 'bpf_' prefix kfunc convention; a later
libbpf patch resolves the compiler's name to it.
The body never runs. A JIT emits the way back out of a landing pad in its
place.

Add two new files, exception.h and exception.c, to host the exception
handling code. Only a few helpers so far: recognising a call to
bpf_unwind_resume(), and asking which landing pad, if any, a call site
unwinds to.
The pad of a call site is kept in insn_aux_data, so the two places that
move instructions around -- bpf_patch_insn_data() and
verifier_remove_insns() -- learn to keep it in step.

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.

Both the CFG walk and liveness are involved. A bpf_throw() or a bpf2bpf
call inside the [begin_off, end_off) range of a cleanup record can reach
that record's landing pad, so both grow that edge; and a
bpf_unwind_resume() reaches nothing after it, so it has no successors.
Liveness needs one more thing. bpf_stack_slot_alive() decides whether an
outer frame's stack slot is still read after the call the frame is
suspended at by looking at the instruction after the call. A slot whose
only remaining reader is the landing pad -- which is every slot a
compiler-generated pad reloads, since only four registers survive a call --
is dead by that measure, so clean_verifier_state() poisons it while the
callee runs and the pad is then rejected for reading it. Ask about the pad
as well when the call site names one.

A cleanup record need not cover a call an exception can unwind out of: a
frontend is free to emit a region around a helper or an ordinary kfunc,
both nounwind here. Nothing marks a call site then, and that record's
landing pad is reached by nothing at all -- leaving bpf_check_cfg() to
refuse the program over code its own frontend had no way not to emit:
0: call bpf_preempt_disable
1: call bpf_preempt_enable record = { begin = 1, end = 2, pad = 4 }
2: r0 = 0
3: exit
4: r1 = pads_ran ll landing pad
6: r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
7: r2 |= RAN_NOUNWIND_REC
8: *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) = r2
9: call bpf_unwind_resume
10: exit
The range [1,2) holds one call, and it is a kfunc, so an exception cannot
come out of it. cleanup_mark_call_sites() marks nothing, nothing pushes an
edge to 4, and 4 through 10 are reachable from nothing: "unreachable insn
4". The pad is dead, which is correct -- no exception can ever arrive at it
-- but the program is fine and has to load.
Walk every pad the table names that the edges did not reach, the way the
walk is already re-seeded at an exception callback. From there the pad is
code like any other: do_check() never enters it, because no call site
dispatches to it, so the dead code sweep removes it along with everything
else that was not reached.

The table is on the instructions and the landing pads are in the control
flow graph. What is left before bpf_throw() can be taught to dispatch them
is to work out what that walk will need, and refuse the shapes it could not
handle.
bpf_check_cleanup_exceptions() runs after bpf_check_cfg(). Everything it
needs is control flow, so it reads what that walk has already worked out
rather than working it out again:
subprog_info.might_throw which subprograms an exception may leave,
closed over the call graph by
merge_callee_effects() as the walk pops each
callee
cleanup_reachability() what each instruction can reach -- a resume, a
plain exit, a throw, an indirect jump
cleanup_mark_pad_bodies() which instructions only ever run with an
exception already in flight
What it refuses:
- a pad that reaches both a resume and a plain exit, or neither: nothing
says whether it is a cleanup pad or a catch pad
- a catch pad, which ends in a plain exit: the walker calls a pad as a
subroutine and cannot hand a frame back its own execution
- a throw in a pad, or a call from a pad to a subprogram that can throw:
a second unwind over frames the first is still discarding
- a bpf_unwind_resume() outside a pad body
- a subprogram that may unwind used as a helper callback: the helper's
own kernel frame would end the walk before it found a boundary
- a tail call, an indirect jump, or an outgoing on-stack call argument in
a pad body, all of which touch a stack the pad does not own
- a BPF_LD_[ABS|IND] in a pad body: a failed load leaves the subprogram
through the hidden exit gen_ld_abs() patches in, and an exit in a pad
is the epilogue, which pops off the walker's stack and returns through
the frame the walk is discarding

bpf_throw() is about to stop discarding the frames it unwinds and start
running their landing pads instead. Have the verifier walk the same thing,
step for step:
at a throw, with the frame chain in env->cur_state->frame[]
if a record covers the call control is at
run that record's landing pad in this frame
on reaching its resume, pop the frame and carry on
else
pop the frame and carry on
at the boundary, deliver
Doing it this way is what keeps the resource rules unchanged. Whatever a
pad releases is released in the verifier state too, so by the time the walk
reaches the boundary the state says exactly what the program will really
hold there -- and check_resource_leak(), which used to fire the moment a
throw was seen, simply moves to the end of the walk. A frame that no record
covers contributes nothing, so anything it held is still held when the walk
ends, and that is what gets reported.
Two things about that walk have to be said out loud, because the
instruction stream does not say them.
A resume belongs to the frame whose landing pad the walker called. Each JIT
lowers bpf_unwind_resume() as the way back out of a pad -- a bare return on
x86-64, a branch to the saved address on arm64 -- and that reaches the
walker only from there. An exception being in flight is not enough to tell:
a pad may call a subprogram that has a landing pad of its own and reaches
it by ordinary control flow, and the resume in it is in a pad body by every
static measure. So the state records the frame the unwind entered a pad in,
and a resume in any other frame is refused.
The edge from a throw to a pad crosses frames with no instruction in
between to account for them, and mark_chain_precision() walks that history
backwards. Left alone it stays in the pad's frame while it reads the
callee's instructions: a request for the pad frame's r6 is cleared by the
callee's own write to r6 -- so the caller's definition never becomes
precise -- or reaches the call instruction still set and trips "static
subprog unexpected regs". The history entry for a pad therefore records how
many frames the unwind popped, and the backtrack enters that many, the way
it enters one at a time for BPF_EXIT. A throwing global subprogram gets no
frame of its own, and its exception arrives at the landing pad rather than
at the next instruction, which the global-call check has to allow for.

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.

Stop discarding the frames an exception unwinds through. bpf_throw()
already walks the BPF call stack with arch_bpf_stack_walk() to find the
exception boundary; have it look each frame's return address up in that
(sub)program's cleanup table on the way and run the landing pad a matching
record names.
A pad is run as a subroutine of the walker, not jumped to. It executes with
the unwinding frame's frame pointer and BPF callee-saved registers, so
everything it reads is that frame's, but on the current stack far below it,
so nothing it calls can disturb the frame it is cleaning up after. It ends
in what the JIT emits for its bpf_unwind_resume(), which hands control back
to the walker rather than to the frame's caller. That is exactly the
procedure the LLVM commit emitting the section describes.
Restoring the frame's r6-r9 is what makes this work, and it is only
possible because the callee about to be discarded spilled them in its own
prologue. bpf_cleanup_force_spill() tells a JIT to make that spill
unconditional and of a known shape for every subprogram of a program
carrying a cleanup table, and aux->exc->spill_off records where it starts,
so the walker needs no per-frame metadata. The frame that called
bpf_throw() has no callee to have spilled anything and never runs its own
epilogue, so the JIT spills that frame's registers at the throw site
instead, in the area aux->exc->throw_spill_off names.
The main program needs the table handed to it rather than built for it.
jit_subprogs() compiles it as func[0], but the ksym covering that image is
the one bpf_prog_load() registers for the outer bpf_prog, and that is what
the walker finds -- so without the handover a landing pad in the main
program's own frame is never dispatched, silently, since the exception
still reaches the boundary and the cookie still comes back.
Which instructions a JIT has to lower its own way reach it as indices into
the (sub)program, aux->exc->throw_at and ->resume_at, carried there from
the insn_aux_data marks so that patching keeps them pointing at the right
instruction.
All of it hangs off bpf_prog_aux by a single pointer. bpf_prog_aux is on
every BPF program and this is a niche feature, so struct bpf_exception_info
exists only for a program that carries a table, and aux->exc being set is
what says the program carries one at all.

Provide the arch half for x86-64: force the full callee-saved spill for a
program carrying a cleanup table so the walker can find a frame's r6-r9 in
its callee's prologue, record where that spill area starts, build the
native cleanup table from the JIT's addrs[], emit a bare return for a pad's
bpf_unwind_resume(), and hand control to a pad from
arch_bpf_run_cleanup_pad().
Support is gated on CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, the same requirement
arch_bpf_stack_walk() and therefore bpf_throw() already have here, and
bpf_cleanup_pad.o is built only there. Nothing else can call it, and a
frame-pointer build would have objtool validate a routine that has to carry
BPF r10 in rbp rather than a frame pointer ("call without frame pointer
save/setup", an error under CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR).

The same arch half for arm64: force the full callee-saved spill, record
where it starts, build the native table from the JIT's byte offsets, and
hand control to a pad from arch_bpf_run_cleanup_pad().
Unlike x86-64 a pad cannot simply return: every call it makes clobbers x30,
so no return address survives to its resume. x23 carries it instead.
bpf2a64[] maps nothing to x23 or x24 -- they are pushed only to keep the
frame shape the exception callback expects -- so nothing else in generated
code touches them, and being callee-saved they survive every kfunc the pad
calls. The JIT emits "br x23" for a pad's bpf_unwind_resume().
x24 is the other one, and it is what makes a pad able to touch its own
frame at all. Generated code addresses the BPF frame through the stack
pointer -- the frame sits directly on top of it, which turns every offset
positive and each access into one instruction -- and in a pad the stack
pointer is the walker's. So the JIT has a pad recompute the equivalent of
its frame's stack pointer from BPF r10 on entry, into x24, and addresses
the frame off x24 for every instruction the previous patches marked as
running only while unwinding. One instruction per pad, and the accesses
keep the shape and the immediate range they have everywhere else.

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.
Both load paths take the detour. A direct load resolves the name against
the kernel's BTF while libbpf runs. A light skeleton instead writes the
name into the loader program's blob of bytes, for that program to resolve
when it runs, so the name recorded there has to be translated as well.

Let a caller hand the kernel an exception cleanup table. Extend struct
bpf_prog_load_opts with cleanup_info, cleanup_info_cnt and
cleanup_info_rec_size, pass them through to BPF_PROG_LOAD, and grow the
attr size bpf_prog_load() computes to cover the new fields.

Parse the compiler-emitted .bpf_cleanup section and hand the resulting
table to BPF_PROG_LOAD.
Each record is three 4-byte fields, and each field is a byte offset into
some code section named by a matching .rel.bpf_cleanup relocation.
bpf_object__init_cleanup_info() resolves both halves once at open time and
keeps (section, instruction index) pairs; it rejects a record whose field
has no relocation, whose relocation is not one of the two 32-bit types that
spell a data reference to a code section -- R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 from LLVM,
R_BPF_64_ABS32 from GNU as -- or whose offset is not instruction aligned.
The records are sorted by begin_off once the offsets are final: the kernel
wants the table sorted with disjoint ranges so that it can find the record
covering a call site with a binary search, and records arrive in
.bpf_cleanup order, which says nothing about where the subprograms they
describe were appended. Overlapping ranges are reported here, where the
program name and both regions are still at hand.
bpf_object_load_prog() then passes the per-program table through the
bpf_prog_load() options added in the previous patch, with the record size
carried on the program the way func_info and line_info carry theirs rather
than taken from a sizeof() at the call site. bpf_program__clone() carries
it too. That is a second load path -- the one veristat uses -- and without
the table the kernel sees landing pads nothing reaches and refuses the
program with "unreachable insn".

To: bpf
Cc: Alexei Starovoitov, Andrii Nakryiko, Daniel Borkmann,
Eduard Zingerman, kernel-team
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.
Growing the attr is what makes the relocation conditional. Every other
attr in this file stops at the last field it sets, and this one now runs
to the end of the union: a kernel that predates cleanup_info accepts an
attr longer than its own only while the tail it does not know reads as
zero. The count and the record size are already zero for a program with no
table, but the relocation stores a blob address, which never is, so a
program that has no landing pads only keeps loading on such a kernel if
the relocation is left out.

An object that carries a compiler-emitted exception cleanup table cannot be
linked today. The table's fields are byte offsets into a code section,
materialised by a 32-bit relocation against that section's symbol with the
offset itself as the implicit addend, and the linker rejects both halves of
that: the relocation type is not in the list it accepts, and a relocation
against an STT_SECTION symbol from a non-executable section is an outright
error.
Both spellings of that relocation have to be taken. LLVM emits
R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 for a .long against a section symbol; GNU as emits
R_BPF_64_ABS32, which is what bpf_reloc_type_lookup() maps BFD_RELOC_32 to.
They describe the same value, and the selftests are built with both
compilers.
Taking them is keyed on the relocation type rather than on the section
name, so any non-executable section could reach the new arm, and what it
replaces is an unconditional refusal. Check what the refusal used to make
unnecessary: a relocated section may be SHT_NOBITS, which extend_sec()
leaves with no raw_data, and r_offset is checked for alignment only where
the section holds instructions. Refuse those rather than write through
them.

C has no unwinding, so nothing here comes out of the frontend: the frames
that own a resource are written as __naked inline assembly, which spells
out by hand exactly what a frontend emits -- a call site bracketed by two
labels, a landing pad unreachable in the compiler's CFG, and a .bpf_cleanup
record tying them together. The assembler turns ".long <text label>" into
the same R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 relocation the BPF AsmPrinter emits, so libbpf
and the kernel see an object indistinguishable from a compiler-generated
one.
Call chain: entry -> foo1 -> foo1v -> foo2 -> foo3. foo3 holds a
non-preemptible section and throws inside it; foo2 holds an RCU read lock
and has two call sites sharing one pad, one of them its own throw; foo1v is
a void frame whose pad ends in a jump to a resume block placed after an
unrelated block that ends in a plain exit; foo1 owns nothing and gets no
record; entry is the boundary.
There are also some shapes the kernel refuses -- the ones with no correct
answer, and the ones a pad running on the bpf_throw() walker's stack cannot
express -- plus the return-value rejection that delivering an exception at
the boundary of a program type which constrains its return value produces.
The test skips rather than fails where the JIT cannot dispatch a landing
pad at all.

The end-to-end test walks one call chain with a pad in most of its frames.
This adds the shapes that chain does not reach: what a cleanup table leaves
dead for the sweep, a callee called from both a covered and an uncovered
site, a pad that reads its frame's callee-saved registers, a
tail-call-reachable callee, a pad in the main program's own frame, a tail
call that is taken, an extension standing in for a covered call, a throwing
subprogram named by a BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC, a record covering bpf_throw()
itself, a pad that calls a subprogram an extension can replace, a covered
bpf_throw() the sweep leaves last, a region ending on a 16-byte
instruction, a pad that reloads from and writes to its own frame, a pad two
frames up, a record covering only a nounwind call, a pad terminated by
_Unwind_Resume rather than bpf_unwind_resume, a pad that calls a subprogram
which tail calls, the tail-call target carrying a table of its own, an
extension carrying a table of its own, a pad whose first instruction is a
nop, a pad that indexes its frame by a register the frame set before the
throwing call, and the same over a throwing global subprogram.

For a light skeleton, libbpf hands the records to bpf_gen__prog_load(),
which writes them into a blob and emits a loader program that issues
BPF_PROG_LOAD from inside the kernel. Nothing about that is shared with the
ordinary path: the attr is built field by field, and the kfunc names are
resolved by the loader program when it runs.
exceptions_cleanup_light.c is the smallest program that can tell whether a
table survives that trip: one record covering the bpf_throw() call itself,
one pad that sets a bit and resumes. If the table arrives, the pad runs and
the cookie comes back; if it does not, the program does not load at all.

bpf: Accept the compiler's exception cleanup table at program load
This commit adds support for BPF exception handling cleanup tables generated
by LLVM. It introduces a new UAPI to pass the .bpf_cleanup table into the
kernel via BPF_PROG_LOAD, along with the necessary validation logic in
check_cleanup_info().

[Severity: Medium]
Can an unprivileged user trigger a multi-gigabyte memory allocation here
by passing an artificially large attr->cleanup_info_cnt?
While the allocation below uses GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT and will not cause a CPU
lockup, kvcalloc() still attempts to allocate and zero up to ~2.1 GB of
memory.
Since each cleanup info record must cover at least one instruction and
they cannot overlap, is there a case where nrec could legitimately
exceed env->prog->len? Would it be safer to add a bounds check like
if (nrec > env->prog->len) before the allocation to prevent this
resource churn?

[Severity: High]
Can this bounds check bypass validation due to an integer overflow?
If a malicious BPF ELF object provides an oversized r_offset (for example,
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFC), adding sizeof(*val) could wrap around to 0. This bypasses
the check against dst_linked_sec->sec_sz and allows out-of-bounds heap memory
access.

[Severity: Low]
Does casting the raw byte buffer to a __u32 pointer violate strict aliasing
rules?
The tools/ build assumes strict aliasing, and accessing generic byte buffers
this way can lead to compiler misoptimization. Would it be safer to use memcpy
or unaligned access macros here?

libbpf: Carry the exception cleanup table through the light skeleton
This commit updates the light skeleton generator to emit BPF_PROG_LOAD
instructions that include the exception cleanup table. It stores the cleanup
records in the loader's bytes blob, calculates the needed buffer size, and
byte-swaps the records for cross-endian builds.

[Severity: High]
Does this loop write beyond the allocated buffer if cleanup_info_tot_sz
overflowed during its calculation?
If an untrusted user provides a malicious BPF ELF object with a very large
.bpf_cleanup section, load_attr->cleanup_info_cnt can be extremely large.
The loop uses this un-wrapped count to byte-swap entries, writing past the
end of the buffer if the allocation size was wrapped.

[Severity: High]
Can this multiplication overflow a 32-bit integer?
If load_attr->cleanup_info_cnt is a huge value (e.g., 0x15555556),
multiplying it by cleanup_info_rec_size (12) will wrap around a 32-bit
integer.
This would result in a small wrapped value being assigned to
cleanup_info_tot_sz (e.g., 0x15555556 * 12 = 4294967304, wrapping to 8).
The resulting undersized allocation passed to add_data() would then lead
to the out-of-bounds write in info_blob_bswap().

This isn't a bug, but does this comment in test_shapes() violate the modern

This isn't a bug, but does this multi-line comment above sweep_frame() follow

This isn't a bug, but would it help a future reader if the changelog
noted that cleanup_info_cnt is the last field of the BPF_PROG_LOAD attr
struct, so offsetofend() on it covers all three new fields, rather than
restating the three edits?

Are the kfunc declarations in scope here? The file includes only
<vmlinux.h>, <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>, "bpf_misc.h", and
"exceptions_cleanup.h".
bpf_throw(), bpf_preempt_disable(), and bpf_preempt_enable() are
normally declared with __ksym in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
bpf_experimental.h, which is not included. bpf_unwind_resume() has no
declaration in any userspace header in the tree.
Without __ksym == __attribute__((section(".ksyms"))), these become
implicit function declarations, and libbpf's bpf_object__collect_externs()
will reject any extern not in a ".ksyms" DATASEC when it tries to
relocate the calls in the inline asm below.
The __kfunc_btf_anchor() function exists specifically to produce extern
BTF FUNCs that libbpf can relocate for the 'call bpf_throw' and
'call bpf_unwind_resume' sites in the inline asm. If the declarations
are implicit, either the compile fails or bpftool rejects the object when
generating the light skeleton.
Should this file include "bpf_experimental.h" and add a declaration for
bpf_unwind_resume()? The identical pattern appears in
progs/exceptions_cleanup.c, progs/exceptions_cleanup_shapes.c, and
progs/exceptions_cleanup_ext_table.c from earlier commits in this series,
so the fix may need to be series-wide.

Does this miss the case where the original instruction is not placed last
in the patch buffer? Looking at adjust_insn_aux_data(), there's logic
earlier in the function that handles non_stack_access when the patched
instructions contain the original:
kernel/bpf/fixups.c:adjust_insn_aux_data() {
for (i = off; i < off + cnt - 1; i++) {
/* Expand insni[off]'s seen count to the patched range. */
data[i].seen = old_seen;
data[i].zext_dst = bpf_insn_def32(new_prog, insn + i) >= 0;
if (!memcmp(insn + i, original_insn, sizeof(struct bpf_insn))) {
data[i].non_stack_access =
data[off + cnt - 1].non_stack_access;
data[off + cnt - 1].non_stack_access = false;
} else if (bpf_is_mem_insn(insn + i)) {
data[i].non_stack_access = true;
}
}
}
The memcmp branch transfers non_stack_access from data[off + cnt - 1] to
data[i] when it finds the original instruction. A bit further down,
indirect_target gets similar treatment.
cleanup_pad is a property of one specific call instruction (the landing
pad this call site unwinds to), not of an instruction slot. When
bpf_patch_insn_data() parks the original instruction's aux record in
data[off + cnt - 1] but the patch buffer places the original instruction
at position i (not last), shouldn't cleanup_pad be transferred the same
way?
Without this transfer, after such a patch the surviving call instruction
would have cleanup_pad == 0 (no landing pad) and an unrelated newly
generated instruction would carry the pad index instead. The CFG edge from
the call to its pad would disappear, and an exception unwinding through
that frame would silently skip its cleanup.
A later commit (d710bf82c5e9, "bpf: Dispatch exception cleanup pads from
bpf_throw()") adds these lines to the memcmp branch:
data[i].cleanup_pad = data[off + cnt - 1].cleanup_pad;
data[off + cnt - 1].cleanup_pad = 0;
Should that transfer belong in this commit, which introduces the field and
claims to keep it in step?

^^^^
Can the addition here wrap around? Since dst_rel->r_offset is Elf64_Addr
(uint64_t) and sizeof(*val) is size_t, the expression
dst_rel->r_offset + sizeof(*val) > (size_t)dst_linked_sec->sec_sz
is evaluated in unsigned 64-bit arithmetic. For r_offset == 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFC
(that is, 2^64 - 4):
r_offset % sizeof(*val) is 0 (since 2^64 - 4 is a multiple of 4)
r_offset + 4 wraps to 0
0 > (size_t)sec_sz is false
so all three sub-tests pass, and the code falls through to
val = dst_linked_sec->raw_data + dst_rel->r_offset; /* raw_data - 4 */
*val += sec->dst_off;
which performs a 4-byte read-modify-write immediately before the buffer
obtained from realloc(), corrupting the heap chunk header.
r_offset is fully controlled by the input object and is never
bounds-checked. The existing r_offset validation in
linker_sanity_check_elf_relos() (near the top of this diff) is an
alignment-only test and applies only to SHF_EXECINSTR sections.
The .bpf_cleanup section is not executable, so nothing constrains
r_offset before this point.
Reached via: bpf_linker__add_file() -> bpf_linker_add_file() ->
linker_append_elf_relos() -> this arm. Triggered by any object with a
.rel.bpf_cleanup entry of type R_BPF_64_ABS32 or R_BPF_64_NODYLD32 against
an STT_SECTION symbol and r_offset == 2^64 - 4.
The commit message notes "r_offset is checked for alignment only where the
section holds instructions. Refuse those rather than write through them",
which suggests the guard is meant to close this hole. Ordering the
comparison so it cannot wrap fixes it:
dst_rel->r_offset > (size_t)dst_linked_sec->sec_sz - sizeof(*val)
with sec_sz >= 4 established first, or an explicit test that r_offset does
not exceed sec_sz ahead of the addition.

This isn't a bug, but would it be worth a short comment on struct
bpf_cleanup_info spelling out that the offsets are instruction indices,
that the range is [begin_off, end_off), and that records must arrive
sorted and non-overlapping with the landing pad outside every range?
A producer other than LLVM has to read check_cleanup_info() to discover
the rules, and insn_off in struct bpf_core_relo in the same header is
documented as a byte offset (line 7750: "instruction offset (in
bytes)"), so the unit is genuinely ambiguous at a glance.

Does the in_cleanup_pad comment accurately describe what the field
represents at this commit? The comment says "only runs with an exception
in flight", but cleanup_mark_pad_bodies() marks reachability from a
landing pad without checking whether the pad is unreachable by ordinary
control flow.
For example, with a record {begin_off=0, end_off=1, landing_pad_off=1}:
0: call pcall foo /* covered by the record */
1: r0 = 0 /* landing pad, also insn 0's fall-through */
2: call bpf_unwind_resume
3: exit
check_cleanup_info() permits this (it only rejects a pad that lies
*inside* a call-site range). cleanup_reachability() gives pad 1 only
CLEANUP_REACH_RESUME, cleanup_pad_is_catch() accepts it, and insns 1-2
get in_cleanup_pad = true. Yet on normal return from foo, execution falls
into insns 1-2 with no exception in flight.
The next commit (c046fa312ea4 "bpf: Walk the exception unwind in the
verifier") adds the state->unwinding check that actually refuses this
shape ("bpf_unwind_resume() at insn %d reached without an exception in
flight"). Should the field comment say "reachable from a landing pad"
rather than "only runs with an exception in flight" until that enforcement
is in place, or does the check belong in this commit since the changelog
promises to refuse every cleanup shape bpf_throw() cannot dispatch?

This isn't a bug, but could the two multi-line comments in
cleanup_reachability() follow the BPF comment style with the opening /*
on its own line? The other multi-line comments added by this series use
that format, and the guide requires it for files under kernel/bpf/.

This isn't a bug, but bpf_cleanup_attach_info()'s only caller already
returns early when cnt is zero - is the `if (!cnt)` arm here reachable,
or would dropping it (and letting the caller keep owning that case) make
the recs ownership easier to follow?

This isn't a bug, but would naming this field after the bitmap size
rather than nr_pad_body make it clearer that it is the bit count and not
the number of pad-body instructions, given the nr_throw_at /
nr_resume_at siblings are true counts?

Does the shape 2 header comment accurately describe what the code does?
The comment states "the RCU lock between them is what an unwind out of
the uncovered one leaks", but the uncovered call to shared_callee()
happens before bpf_rcu_read_lock() is invoked. When the uncovered site
throws (which prog_tests/exceptions_cleanup.c tests in the
shared_callee_uncovered_throw subtest with outer_input = 101, input = 1),
active_rcu_locks is 0 and there is nothing to leak.
The verifier would also reject a throw with the lock held via
check_resource_leak() in kernel/bpf/verifier.c, which checks at
unwind_finish() and refuses with "bpf_throw cannot be used inside
bpf_rcu_read_lock-ed region" if active_rcu_locks is set.
The lock sits between the two call sites so that only the covered one
unwinds with it held, making the pad's bpf_rcu_read_unlock() observable.
Should the comment describe that the lock is taken between the two sites
rather than before the uncovered one?

You are right. We can transfer the above cleanup_pad in this commit to keep
the field consistent.

You are right. The comment is not good. Let us do:

Overflow is indeed possible. Will fix it, e.g. with cleanup_info_tot_sz as __u64
and later check against INT32_MAX.

Okay, I will use the above condition to limit the upper bound of memory

Will drop the above if condition.
