hmmm... I find it quite confusing to read.
While the current opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32() has
already been doing the actual zext patching work based
on the zext_dst marking,
this patch does zext patch for cmpxchg before opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32()
even the zext_dst has already been marked.
Then later in opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32(), code is
added to avoid doing the zext patch again for the
"!bpf_jit_needs_zext()" case.
If there is other cases later, then changes have to be made
in both places, one does zext patch and then another to
avoid double patch for the "!bpf_jit_needs_zext()" case.
Why not only patch it when there is no other places doing it?
It may be better to do the zext patch for cmpxchg in
opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32() also. Then all zext patch
is done in one place. Something like:
static int opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32(struct bpf_verifier_env *env,
const union bpf_attr *attr)
{
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
/* ... */
if (!bpf_jit_needs_zext() && !is_cmpxchg_insn(insn))
continue;
/* do zext patch */
}
}
Would that work?
