Subject: [PATCH v7 2/7] powerpc/bpf: Move out dummy_tramp_addr after Long branch stub
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:38:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611153826.31187-3-adubey@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611153826.31187-1-adubey@linux.ibm.com>
From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey@linux.ibm.com>
Move the long branch address field to the bottom of the long
branch stub. This allows uninterrupted disassembly until the
last 8 bytes. The last bytes exclusion is logically necessary to
prevent disassembly failure, otherwise the actual program layout
is never altered. Hence no effect on overall program size.
Also, align dummy_tramp_addr field with 8-byte boundary.
Following is disassembler output for test program with moved down
dummy_tramp_addr field:
.....
.....
pc:68 left:44 a6 03 08 7c : mtlr 0
pc:72 left:40 bc ff ff 4b : b .-68
pc:76 left:36 a6 02 68 7d : mflr 11
pc:80 left:32 05 00 9f 42 : bcl 20, 31, .+4
pc:84 left:28 a6 02 88 7d : mflr 12
pc:88 left:24 14 00 8c e9 : ld 12, 20(12)
pc:92 left:20 a6 03 89 7d : mtctr 12
pc:96 left:16 a6 03 68 7d : mtlr 11
pc:100 left:12 20 04 80 4e : bctr
pc:104 left:8 c0 34 1d 00 :
Failure log:
Can't disasm instruction at offset 104: c0 34 1d 00 00 00 00 c0
Disassembly logic can truncate at 104, ignoring last 8 bytes.
Update the dummy_tramp_addr field offset calculation from the end
of the program to reflect its new location, for bpf_arch_text_poke()
to update the actual trampoline's address in this field.
All BPF trampoline selftests continue to pass with this patch applied.
