Subject: [PATCH v7 06/10] bpf/arm64: fix offset type to allow a negative jump
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:05:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722183351.633025-7-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722183351.633025-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
From: Christophe Fontaine <cfontain@redhat.com>
The DPDK BPF JIT standalone test test_ld_mbuf1 fails on arm64.
It does:
r6 = r1 // mbuf
r0 = *(u8 *)pkt[0] // BPF_ABS
if ((r0 & 0xf0) == 0x40)
goto parse
r0 = 0
exit // epilogue E0
parse:
r0 = *(u8 *)pkt[r0 + 3] // BPF_IND
...
exit
emit_return_zero_if_src_zero() returns 0 by branching to a function
epilogue. The target may be a previous epilogue so branch
might be backwards; therefore the offset needs to be negative.
The offset was stored in a uint16_t, so a negative value wrapped to a
large positive number; emit_b() then branched past the end of the
program and faulted at run time.
Fixes: 111e2a747a4f ("bpf/arm: add basic arithmetic operations")
