Subject: [PATCH bpf 2/2] selftests/bpf: Test missing caller stack argument slots
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 01:42:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007174203.37071-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007174203.37071-1-bestswngs@gmail.com>
Exercise the path where a static seven-argument subprogram has
unreliable BTF and is called through a bridge with only one initialized
outgoing stack argument. The callee expects two stack arguments, but the
unreliable-BTF path skips check_outgoing_stack_args().
Without the fix, the second r11 load copies an 80-byte bpf_reg_state from
stack_arg_regs[1], past the caller's one-element array. Expect the
verifier to reject that load at offset 16.
The fix also rejects the existing uninitialized-stack-argument test
before the later unreadable-register check. Update that test's expected
diagnostic accordingly.
