Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 05/20] bpf: Make exception landing pads reachable in the CFG
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 14:00:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921210059.1717892-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921210033.1715000-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

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.
