Subject: 64-bit immediate instructions clarification
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2024 17:12:05 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <259a01da4ff4$adfe9c50$09fbd4f0$@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <9d077ed4-6a30-49db-8160-83d8c525ff3e@linux.dev>
The spec defines:
> As discussed below in `64-bit immediate instructions`_, a 64-bit immediate
> instruction uses a 64-bit immediate value that is constructed as follows.
> The 64 bits following the basic instruction contain a pseudo instruction
> using the same format but with opcode, dst_reg, src_reg, and offset all set to zero,
> and imm containing the high 32 bits of the immediate value.
[...]
> imm64 = (next_imm << 32) | imm
The 64-bit immediate instructions section then says:
> Instructions with the ``BPF_IMM`` 'mode' modifier use the wide instruction
> encoding defined in `Instruction encoding`_, and use the 'src' field of the
> basic instruction to hold an opcode subtype.
Some instructions then nicely state how to use the full 64 bit immediate value, such as
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x0 dst = imm64 integer integer
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x2 dst = map_val(map_by_fd(imm)) + next_imm map fd data pointer
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x6 dst = map_val(map_by_idx(imm)) + next_imm map index data pointer
Others don't:
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x1 dst = map_by_fd(imm) map fd map
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x3 dst = var_addr(imm) variable id data pointer
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x4 dst = code_addr(imm) integer code pointer
> BPF_IMM | BPF_DW | BPF_LD 0x18 0x5 dst = map_by_idx(imm) map index map
How is next_imm used in those four? Must it be 0? Or can it be anything and it's ignored?
Or is it used for something?
