[BPF] Handle unreachable with a kfunc call

Yonghong Song · Yonghong Song · commit 7afaebe79a6d · 2025-03-21T10:42:21.000-07:00
Currently, middle-end generates 'unreachable' insn if the compiler feels the code is indeed unreachable or the code becomes invalid due to some optimizaiton (e.g. code optimization with uninitialized variables). Right now BPF backend ignores 'unreachable' insn during selectiondag lowering. For cases where 'unreachable' is due to invalid code transformation, such a signal will be missed. Later on, users needs some effort to debug it which impacts developer productivity. This patch enabled selectiondag lowering for 'unreachable' insn. Previous attempt ([1]) tries to have a backend IR pass to filter out 'unreachable' insns in a number of cases. But such pattern matching may misalign with future middle-end optimization with 'unreachable' insns. This patch takes a different approach. The 'unreachable' insn is lowered with special encoding in bpf object file and verifier will do proper verification for the bpf prog. More specifically, the 'unreachable' insn is replaced by a 'bpf_unreachable' function. This function will be a kfunc (in ".ksyms" section) with a weak attribute, but does not have definition. The function is also present in prog btf. This way, the extern 'bpf_unreachable' can be handled properly in libbpf func poison_kfunc_call(). I tested this patch on bpf selftests and all tests are passed. I also tried original example in [2] and the error is properly detected by verifier: func#0 @0 last insn is not an exit or jmp In another internal sched-ext bpf prog, with the patch we have bpf code: Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <scx_storage_init_single>: ; { 0: bc 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 w3 = w1 1: b4 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 w1 = 0x0 ; const u32 zero = 0; ... 0000000000003a80 <create_dom>: ; { 1872: bc 16 00 00 00 00 00 00 w6 = w1 ; bpf_printk("dom_id %d", dom_id); 1873: 18 01 00 00 3f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 r1 = 0x3f ll 0000000000003a88: R_BPF_64_64 .rodata 1875: b4 02 00 00 0a 00 00 00 w2 = 0xa 1876: bc 63 00 00 00 00 00 00 w3 = w6 1877: 85 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 call 0x6 ; ret = scx_bpf_create_dsq(dom_id, 0); 1878: bc 61 00 00 00 00 00 00 w1 = w6 1879: b4 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 w2 = 0x0 1880: 85 10 00 00 ff ff ff ff call -0x1 0000000000003ac0: R_BPF_64_32 scx_bpf_create_dsq ; domc->node_cpumask = node_data[node_id]; 1881: 85 10 00 00 ff ff ff ff call -0x1 0000000000003ac8: R_BPF_64_32 bpf_unreachable <END> The verifier can easily report the error too. A bpf flag `-bpf-disable-trap-unreachable` is introduced to disable trapping unreachable. [1] #126858 [2] https://github.com/msune/clang_bpf/blob/main/Makefile#L3
