Implement arch_bpf_stack_walk() for the ARM64 JIT. This will be used
by bpf_throw() to unwind till the program marked as exception boundary and
run the callback with the stack of the main program.

The prologue generation code has been modified to make the callback
program use the stack of the program marked as exception boundary where
callee-saved registers are already pushed.

As the bpf_throw function never returns, if it clobbers any callee-saved
registers, they would remain clobbered. So, the prologue of the
exception-boundary program is modified to push R23 and R24 as well,
which the callback will then recover in its epilogue.

The Procedure Call Standard for the Arm 64-bit Architecture[1] states
that registers r19 to r28 should be saved by the callee. BPF programs on
ARM64 already save all callee-saved registers except r23 and r24. This
patch adds an instruction in prologue of the program to save these
two registers and another instruction in the epilogue to recover them.

These extra instructions are only added if bpf_throw() used. Otherwise
the emitted prologue/epilogue remains unchanged.

To ensure th calculated A6_SP is always correct, add an assertion
to ensure the distance between A64_FP and A64_SP is 80 after all
callee-registers are pushed to the stack?


I agree that this should be done. Can you give an example how this
should be implemented?


IIUC, bpf_throw is essentially a tail call to the exception boundary prog, so
can we reset the SP to the PROLOGUE_OFFSET position? If so, we can rely on the
assertion of PROLOGUE_OFFSET in build_prologue, or we can add a simliar assertion.

Blindly storing x23/x24 to BPF_FP -8/16 is incorrect, as the stack
space below BPF_FP might be written with other values by the bpf
prog.


Thanks for pointing this out. I will set fp = A64_SP - 16 so to allocate
space for saving x23/x24. And I will take care while poping back in the epilogue.

Keep the line width within 80 characters?

bdc48fa11e46 ("checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate 80-column warning")
removed the warning so I started using 100 character lines.


80-column is not a hard limit, but it's still preferred, right?
And I don't think it's a good idea to include two different line
width styles in a single file.

Seems there is no need to define "stacks" as an array

Sure, will change in next version.

When PTR_AUTH is implemented, lr is encoded before being pushed to
the stack, but unwind_next_frame_record() does not decode state.pc
when fetching it from the stack.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will fix this in the next version.

+ break;

And it's better to simplify the if-while(1)-if to:

while (!unwind_next_frame_record(&state)) {
...
}

Sure,
Will use this method in the next version.
