Today doing a BPF tail call after a BPF to BPF call, that is from a subprogram, is allowed only by the x86-64 BPF JIT. Mixing these features requires support from JIT. Tail call count has to be tracked through BPF to BPF calls, as well as through BPF tail calls to prevent unbounded chains of tail calls. arm64 BPF JIT stores the tail call count (TCC) in a dedicated register (X26). This makes it easier to support bpf2bpf calls mixed with tail calls than on x86 platform. In order to keep the tail call count in tact throughout bpf2bpf calls, all we need to do is tweak the program prologue generator. When emitting prologue for a subprogram, we skip the block that initializes the tail call count and emits a jump pad for the tail call. With this change, a sample execution flow where a bpf2bpf call is followed by a tail call would look like so: int entry(struct __sk_buff *skb): 0xffffffc0090151d4: paciasp 0xffffffc0090151d8: stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! 0xffffffc0090151dc: mov x29, sp 0xffffffc0090151e0: stp x19, x20, [sp, #-16]! 0xffffffc0090151e4: stp x21, x22, [sp, #-16]! 0xffffffc0090151e8: stp x25, x26, [sp, #-16]! 0xffffffc0090151ec: stp x27, x28, [sp, #-16]! 0xffffffc0090151f0: mov x25, sp 0xffffffc0090151f4: mov x26, #0x0 // <- init TCC only 0xffffffc0090151f8: bti j // in main prog 0xffffffc0090151fc: sub x27, x25, #0x0 0xffffffc009015200: sub sp, sp, #0x10 0xffffffc009015204: mov w1, #0x0 0xffffffc009015208: mov x10, #0xffffffffffffffff 0xffffffc00901520c: strb w1, [x25, x10] 0xffffffc009015210: mov x10, #0xffffffffffffd25c 0xffffffc009015214: movk x10, #0x902, lsl #16 0xffffffc009015218: movk x10, #0xffc0, lsl #32 0xffffffc00901521c: blr x10 -------------------. // bpf2bpf call 0xffffffc009015220: add x7, x0, #0x0 <-------------. 0xffffffc009015224: add sp, sp, #0x10 | | 0xffffffc009015228: ldp x27, x28, [sp], #16 | | 0xffffffc00901522c: ldp x25, x26, [sp], #16 | | 0xffffffc009015230: ldp x21, x22, [sp], #16 | | 0xffffffc009015234: ldp x19, x20, [sp], #16 | | 0xffffffc009015238: ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16 | | 0xffffffc00901523c: add x0, x7, #0x0 | | 0xffffffc009015240: autiasp | | 0xffffffc009015244: ret | | | | int subprog_tail(struct __sk_buff *skb): | | 0xffffffc00902d25c: paciasp <----------------------' | 0xffffffc00902d260: stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! | 0xffffffc00902d264: mov x29, sp | 0xffffffc00902d268: stp x19, x20, [sp, #-16]! | 0xffffffc00902d26c: stp x21, x22, [sp, #-16]! | 0xffffffc00902d270: stp x25, x26, [sp, #-16]! | 0xffffffc00902d274: stp x27, x28, [sp, #-16]! | 0xffffffc00902d278: mov x25, sp | 0xffffffc00902d27c: sub x27, x25, #0x0 | 0xffffffc00902d280: sub sp, sp, #0x10 | // <- end of prologue, notice: 0xffffffc00902d284: add x19, x0, #0x0 | // 1) TCC not touched, and 0xffffffc00902d288: mov w0, #0x1 | // 2) no tail call jump pad 0xffffffc00902d28c: mov x10, #0xfffffffffffffffc | 0xffffffc00902d290: str w0, [x25, x10] | 0xffffffc00902d294: mov x20, #0xffffff80ffffffff | 0xffffffc00902d298: movk x20, #0xc033, lsl #16 | 0xffffffc00902d29c: movk x20, #0x4e00 | 0xffffffc00902d2a0: add x0, x19, #0x0 | 0xffffffc00902d2a4: add x1, x20, #0x0 | 0xffffffc00902d2a8: mov x2, #0x0 | 0xffffffc00902d2ac: mov w10, #0x24 | 0xffffffc00902d2b0: ldr w10, [x1, x10] | 0xffffffc00902d2b4: add w2, w2, #0x0 | 0xffffffc00902d2b8: cmp w2, w10 | 0xffffffc00902d2bc: b.cs 0xffffffc00902d2f8 | 0xffffffc00902d2c0: mov w10, #0x21 | 0xffffffc00902d2c4: cmp x26, x10 | // TCC >= MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT?
