With latest llvm18 (main branch of llvm-project repo), when building bpf selftests, [~/work/bpf-next (master)]$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 -j The following compilation error happens: fatal error: error in backend: Branch target out of insn range PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script.

Code generation ..... The compilation failure only happens to cpu=v2 and cpu=v3. cpu=v4 is okay since cpu=v4 supports 32-bit branch target offset. The above failure is due to upstream llvm patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D143624 where some inlining ordering are changed in the compiler. The following change can temporarily work around the issue: diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf180.c b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf180.c index c39f559d3100..db0bfaaf480c 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf180.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf180.c @@ -1,4 +1,9 @@ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 // Copyright (c) 2019 Facebook +#if __clang_major__ >= 18 +#define STACK_MAX_LEN 150 +#else #define STACK_MAX_LEN 180 +#endif + #include "pyperf.h" We will do some more investigation to see whether we could do anything in llvm side to mitigate the issue, or if not, will provide a proper patch to fix the issue.
