Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 06/21] bpf: Make exception landing pads reachable in the CFG
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 21:59:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923045917.2417421-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923045846.2414643-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

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. Add that edge to the
CFG walk, which explores the pad and makes both ends prune points, and to
bpf_insn_successors(), which liveness and the SCC passes walk.

Liveness needs one more thing. When bpf_stack_slot_alive()'s
is_live_before() says an outer frame's slot has no reader after the call
the frame is suspended at, the landing pad can still be one -- and usually
is, since only four registers survive a call and a pad reloads the rest.
Ask about the pad as well when the call site names one; otherwise
clean_verifier_state() poisons the slot while the callee runs and the pad
is rejected for reading it.
