[PATCH bpf] bpf, riscv: Make arena support depend on ZACAS
From: Chen Pei
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 09:52:36 EST
The arena range tree allocates its nodes with kmalloc_nolock() since
commit f8c67d8550ee ("bpf: Use kmalloc_nolock() in range tree").
kmalloc_nolock() requires slab caches with cmpxchg128 support
(__CMPXCHG_DOUBLE); on riscv cmpxchg128 is provided by the ZACAS
extension. On systems without ZACAS every arena map creation fails
with a misleading -ENOMEM.
Report the missing support instead: make bpf_jit_supports_arena()
return system_has_cmpxchg128(), so arena map creation fails with
-EOPNOTSUPP on systems without ZACAS. This matches how arena
BPF_CMPXCHG instructions are already gated on ZACAS in
bpf_jit_supports_insn().
Fixes: f8c67d8550ee ("bpf: Use kmalloc_nolock() in range tree")

Question for reviewers: should the arena selftests gate on ZACAS,
e.g. probing it via riscv_hwprobe() (RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZACAS) and
SKIPping cleanly on systems without the extension?
