Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/3] riscv: bpf: Add BPF private stack support
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 18:04:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104100411.997-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
This series adds private-stack support to the RV64 BPF JIT.
The verifier rejects a struct_ops program that requests a private stack
with -EACCES when the JIT does not report
bpf_jit_supports_private_stack(), and sched_ext requests one for its
dispatch callback, so no sched_ext scheduler can load on riscv64 today.
Allocation, the guard value and the lifetime handling follow arm64,
x86-64 and powerpc64; the 16-byte two-copy guard layout follows arm64
and powerpc64, since x86-64 uses an 8-byte guard with a single copy.
What is specific to riscv64 is where the pointers end up:
- Every BPF stack access goes through BPF_REG_FP (S5), so pointing S5
at the top of the per-CPU area and leaving SP on the kernel stack is
all the JIT has to do. S5 is callee-saved and each subprog derives
its own, so bpf2bpf calls need no extra save and restore.
- The outgoing stack-argument area stays in the kernel frame: callers
write it relative to SP while callees read it relative to RV_REG_FP.
Unlike x86-64, no register here is shared with the private-stack
frame pointer, so no verifier-side exclusion is needed and stack
arguments keep working together with a private stack. arm64 already
does the same, and patch 3 measures the three ranges at run time and
pins them in the disassembly.
- The per-CPU lookup is emitted after the tail-call entry point. A
program using a private stack can still be entered as a tail-call
target, at RV_TAILCALL_OFFSET, so it has to set up its own S5 there;
and since that offset is a constant added to the target's bpf_func,
everything in front of it must be the same size in every program.
The base address is materialized with absolute moves, as on arm64,
x86-64 and powerpc64. Those three reach the per-CPU offset through gs:,
TPIDR or r13 and only have to move the base into a register; riscv64 has
no such register, so the address of __per_cpu_offset is loaded here too.
A PC-relative pair is not an option for the base itself: the dynamic
per-CPU area is vmalloc'd, further from the JIT region than auipc
reaches, which is why the whole setup is ten instructions on the kernel
tested here. __per_cpu_offset is a kernel-image symbol and on that
kernel lands in the sign-extended 32-bit range, so emit_imm() renders it
in two instructions through its 32-bit fast path - what an emit_addr()
pair would cost, and the form insn_is_mov_percpu_addr() already uses;
unifying the two needs an extra_pass argument and an error return in
bpf_jit_build_prologue(), which also touches bpf_jit_comp32.c, so it is
left as is. Both constants are fixed before the offset-convergence loop,
so the prologue length is stable across passes.
RV32 does not declare support and keeps the existing behaviour; the
prologue signature is unchanged, so bpf_jit_comp32.c needs no edit.
Changes since v1:
- Patch 1 commit message: guard layout credited to arm64 and powerpc64,
value alone to x86-64; __per_cpu_offset described as a choice.
- Patch 3: test_private_stack_runtime() renamed to
serial_test_private_stack_runtime(), and the stack-argument skip
prints a reason.
Testing
=======
QEMU virt rv64, an 8 vCPU SMP kernel and a 1 vCPU UP kernel, both built
on the base commit below, source tree clean at the head of this series,
selftests built from these patches. There are no private-stack related
failures, and no run logged a BUG, WARNING, panic, unknown opcode or
guard corruption. On UP, kfunc_call/subprog, kfunc_call/subprog_lskel
and scx_simple are not run: all three fail the same way on the unpatched
base.
- verifier_private_stack, struct_ops_private_stack,
private_stack_runtime.
- tailcalls, stack_arg, subprogs, fentry_fexit, kfunc_call,
percpu_alloc, async_stack_depth, arena_atomics, arena_ldsx.
- verifier_stack_arg, stack_arg_precision.
- may_goto_priv_stack, may_goto_far, verifier_may_goto_1,
verifier_may_goto_2.
- scx_simple.
- sched_ext runner sweep on SMP: 40 cases, 39 pass. enable_cmask fails
because its ops.enable() takes a struct scx_cmask __arena pointer and
riscv64 does not implement bpf_jit_supports_arena_args().
