Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v6 06/21] bpf: Make exception landing pads reachable in the CFG
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 22:00:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926050037.2216265-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260926050006.2213110-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

A bpf_unwind() 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. 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.
