Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v12 17/25] libbpf: Resolve the compiler's _Unwind_Resume to the kernel's kfunc
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 19:52:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017025258.1927910-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017025129.1914859-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
LLVM ends a cleanup landing pad with a call to _Unwind_Resume, the
unwind ABI's name for carrying an unwind on. The kernel's kfunc is
bpf_unwind_resume: _Unwind_Resume in the kernel's own symbol table, for a
function whose body never runs, would only confuse.
The compiler emits the call but no declaration, and libbpf refuses an
extern it has no BTF for, so the program declares it itself (extern void
_Unwind_Resume(void *) __ksym;), as a language runtime has to. libbpf
only translates the name, both where it resolves the kfunc itself and
where it records the name for a light skeleton's loader to resolve.
