From: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 63d78b7e8ca2d0eb8c687a355fa19d01b6fcc723 ] With latest llvm17, selftest fexit_bpf2bpf/func_replace_return_code has the following verification failure: 0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0 ; int connect_v4_prog(struct bpf_sock_addr *ctx) 0: (bf) r7 = r1 ; R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R7_w=ctx(off=0,imm=0) 1: (b4) w6 = 0 ; R6_w=0 ; memset(&tuple.ipv4.saddr, 0, sizeof(tuple.ipv4.saddr)); ... ; return do_bind(ctx) ? 1 : 0; 179: (bf) r1 = r7 ; R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R7=ctx(off=0,imm=0) 180: (85) call pc+147 Func#3 is global and valid.

SEC("cgroup/connect4") int connect_v4_prog(struct bpf_sock_addr *ctx) { ... return do_bind(ctx) ? 1 : 0; } Insn 180 is a call to 'do_bind'. The call's return value is also the return value for the program. Since do_bind() returns 0/1, so it is legitimate for compiler to optimize 'return do_bind(ctx) ? 1 : 0' to 'return do_bind(ctx)'. However, such optimization breaks verifier as the return value of 'do_bind()' is marked as any scalar which violates the requirement of prog return value 0/1. There are two ways to fix this problem, (1) changing 'return 1' in do_bind() to e.g. 'return 10' so the compiler has to do 'do_bind(ctx) ? 1 :0', or (2) suggested by Andrii, marking do_bind() with __weak attribute so the compiler cannot make any assumption on do_bind() return value. This patch adopted adding __weak approach which is simpler and more resistant to potential compiler optimizations.
