[PATCH v3 bpf-next 0/4] bpf: Introduce may_goto and cond_break

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2 -> v3: Major change
- drop bpf_can_loop() kfunc and introduce may_goto instruction instead
  kfunc is a function call while may_goto doesn't consume any registers
  and LLVM can produce much better code due to less register pressure.
- instead of counting from zero to BPF_MAX_LOOPS start from it instead
  and break out of the loop when count reaches zero
- use may_goto instruction in cond_break macro
- recognize that 'exact' state comparison doesn't need to be truly exact.
  regsafe() should ignore precision and liveness marks, but range_within
  logic is safe to use while evaluating open coded iterators.

Alexei Starovoitov (4):
  bpf: Introduce may_goto instruction
  bpf: Recognize that two registers are safe when their ranges match
  bpf: Add cond_break macro
  selftests/bpf: Test may_goto
