Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/5] bpf, x86: Add support for BPF_MOVSX in the i386 JIT
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 22:13:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915021338.1520964-2-main.kalliope@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915021338.1520964-1-main.kalliope@gmail.com>
The i386 JIT lowers register BPF_MOVSX as an ordinary move because
do_jit() does not inspect insn->off. The generated code therefore copies
the source instead of sign-extending the selected low bits. Context-access
conversion can also introduce MOVSX while lowering signed loads, so
rejecting BPF_MEMSX does not protect those paths.
Stage the source low word in EAX and use the native byte and word
sign-extension instructions. Derive the high word from the sign bit for
ALU64 and retain verifier-managed zero extension for ALU32.
