Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v6 09/21] bpf: Refuse a private stack for a program with an exception cleanup table
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 22:00:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926050052.2216947-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260926050006.2213110-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

An unwind resumes a frame at its landing pad rather than at the instruction
after the call. On x86-64 that skips the pop which restores r9, where a
private stack keeps its frame pointer -- the JIT brackets every call in
push_r9/pop_r9 and the pad is reached before the pop runs. The pad would
then address its frame through a stale pointer. Refused on every
architecture rather than just that one.

Force NO_PRIV_STACK in check_max_stack_depth(), where the choice is made.
The subprograms below are then checked against MAX_BPF_STACK together
rather than one at a time, so this can turn a program that would have
loaded with a private stack into one that is too deep.
