[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] bpf, mips: Add support for BPF_MOVSX in the JITs
From: Nicholas Dudar
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 07:46:11 EST
Both MIPS JITs ignore insn->off when lowering register MOV
instructions, so BPF_MOVSX is emitted as an ordinary move. Since
build_insn() accepts it, affected programs are silently miscompiled
instead of falling back to the interpreter.
Decode insn->off in the register-move helpers and sign-extend 8- and
16-bit ALU32 operands and 8-, 16-, and 32-bit ALU64 operands. On
MIPS32, propagate the sign into the high word for ALU64 while
preserving the existing ALU32 zero-extension handling.
Use shift pairs rather than seb/seh so the lowering works on every CPU
supported by these JITs. seb/seh would save one instruction on
R2-or-newer CPUs but would require adding those opcodes to uasm.
