[PATCH 4.14 v2 1/4] bpf: Do not use ax register in interpreter on div/mod

From: Edward Liaw
Date: Wed Feb 22 2023 - 14:29:45 EST


From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Partially undo old commit 144cd91c4c2b ("bpf: move tmp variable into ax
register in interpreter"). The reason we need this here is because ax
register will be used for holding temporary state for div/mod instruction
which otherwise interpreter would corrupt. This will cause a small +8 byte
stack increase for interpreter, but with the gain that we can use it from
verifier rewrites as scratch register.

[cascardo: This partial revert is needed in order to support using AX for
the following two commits, as there is no JMP32 on 4.19.y]
