[PATCH bpf-next] bpf, riscv: Register extable entries at probe insn call sites
From: Chen Pei
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 08:01:22 EST
add_exception_handler() filters insns by matching BPF_MODE() against
the probe mode values. These values occupy unused opcode slots and
collide with legitimate encodings: BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX (0xc0) shares
its mode value with BPF_ATOMIC. Relying on the mode alone therefore
risks registering exception table entries for the wrong instructions,
as would happen for plain atomics without the LDX class check.
Make the decision explicit at the call sites instead: register an
entry only when emitting a probe load, a PROBE_MEM32 store, or a
PROBE_ATOMIC atomic, and drop the fragile mode gate from
add_exception_handler() along with the now unused insn argument. No
functional change intended.
