[PATCH bpf-next v3] bpf, x86: Add support for BPF_SDIV and BPF_SMOD in the i386 JIT

From: Nicholas Dudar

Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 20:30:10 EST


emit_ia32_div_mod_r() emits an unsigned divide (xor edx,edx + div ecx)
for BPF_DIV and BPF_MOD regardless of the instruction's signedness, so
the i386 JIT does not implement signed BPF_SDIV and BPF_SMOD (off == 1),
which get an unsigned quotient and remainder rather than the verifier's
and the interpreter's signed result for negative operands.

Add signed support. Pass the instruction to emit_ia32_div_mod_r() and,
on the signed path (off == 1), emit cdq + idiv ecx instead of
xor edx,edx + div ecx, mirroring the cdq/idiv-vs-xor/div split the
x86_64 JIT uses. bpf_do_misc_fixups() rewrites the zero-divisor and
INT_MIN/-1 cases out of the instruction stream before the JIT runs.

The RV32 JIT has the same gap.

v3:
- Correct the incomplete recipient list.

v2:
- Frame as adding support and drop the Fixes tag, per Pu Lehui [1].
- Pass struct bpf_insn * to emit_ia32_div_mod_r() rather than separate
op and is_signed parameters, per Kuan-Wei Chiu.
