[RFC bpf-next v2 08/14] bpf: Helper to simplify calling kernel routines from unrolled kfuncs

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

 



When we need to call the kernel function from the unrolled
kfunc, we have to take extra care: r6-r9 belong to the callee,
not us, so we can't use these registers to stash our r1.

We use the same trick we use elsewhere: ask the user
to provide extra on-stack storage.

Also, note, the program being called has to receive and
return the context.
