[PATCH v7 1/2] powerpc64/bpf: Implement JIT support for private stack
adubey at linux.ibm.com

Wed Apr 1 21:32:14 AEDT 2026
From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey at linux.ibm.com>
Provision the private stack as a per-CPU allocation during
bpf_int_jit_compile(). Align the stack to 16 bytes and place guard
regions at both ends to detect runtime stack overflow and underflow.
Round the private stack size up to the nearest 16-byte boundary.
Make each guard region 16 bytes to preserve the required overall
16-byte alignment. When private stack is set, skip bpf stack size
accounting in kernel stack.
There is no stack pointer in powerpc. Stack referencing during JIT
is done using frame pointer. Frame pointer calculation goes like:
BPF frame pointer = Priv stack allocation start address +
Overflow guard +
Actual stack size defined by verifier
Memory layout:
High Addr +--------------------------------------------------+
| |
| 16 bytes Underflow guard (0xEB9F12345678eb9fULL) |
| |
BPF FP -> +--------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Private stack - determined by verifier |
| 16-bytes aligned |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| |
Lower Addr | 16 byte Overflow guard (0xEB9F12345678eb9fULL) |
| |
Priv stack alloc ->+--------------------------------------------------+
start
Update BPF_REG_FP to point to the calculated offset within the
allocated private stack buffer. Now, BPF stack usage reference
in the allocated private stack.

---
v6->v7:
Handle SMP case when setting frame pointer
Pickup Acked-by and Tested-by tags
v5->v6:
Remove unused label
v4->v5:
Rebase over latest branch
v3->v4:
No change
v2->v3:
Enable testcase using __powerpc64__ instead of __TARGET_ARCH_powerpc,
to prevent it getting invoked on powerpc32
v1->v2:
No change
