<title>selftests/bpf: Test a multi-slot argument before a struct_ops arena argument</title>

The trampoline reads the __arena flag from the btf_func_model per
argument but stores the ctx one register slot at a time, so the two only
line up if every preceding argument occupies exactly one slot. Every
arena-bearing member of bpf_testmod_ops3 takes single-slot arguments, so
nothing exercises the mapping and a mis-indexed arg_flags lookup would
go unnoticed on any architecture.

Add test_arena_multislot(), whose first argument is a 16-byte struct
passed by value. It fills ctx[0] and ctx[1], putting the arena pointer
at argument index one but slot two. The callback checks both halves of
the struct before dereferencing ctx[2], so a JIT that walks registers
instead of arguments converts the wrong slot and fails the test.

Add a test_arena_stack member with eight leading scalar arguments so the
arena pointer is passed on the stack.

The callback validates the first and last scalar ctx slots before
dereferencing the pointer in ctx[8]. This exercises the indirect
trampoline stack layout and arena conversion together, and prevents a
regression where stack arguments are read one slot late.

Add test_arena and test_arena_nullable members to bpf_testmod_ops3 with
arena-tagged stub arguments and kfuncs that forward a caller-provided
pointer to them. The kfuncs take arena-tagged arguments, so each round
trip exercises both conversion directions end to end: the kfunc receives
a kernel arena address and the trampoline converts it back to an arena
pointer for the callback.

The non-nullable callback dereferences its argument with no NULL branch
and captures the raw ctx value, which the trigger program compares
against the arena offset of the passed object, pinning the exact
(u32)(kaddr - kern_vm_start) conversion. The nullable callback verifies
that only a true kernel NULL arrives as NULL. Failure coverage: a
program with no arena is rejected when it loads. The tests run on x86-64
and skip elsewhere, as the programs fail verification where the JIT
lacks arena argument support.

Add arena-argument kfuncs to bpf_testmod, which also exercises the
argument rebasing on module kfuncs, and tests covering the accepted
argument forms (arena pointer, low 32 bits as a scalar, full user
address as a scalar), the exact rebase semantics via capture kfuncs
returning the raw argument (zero low 32 bits arrive as the arena kernel
base under __arena and as NULL under __arena__nullable), five arena
arguments in one call, a mixed __arena plus __arena__nullable call
exercising both bitmasks on one call site, a kernel-side dereference of
an unpopulated page recovering through the scratch page, and the
rejections (no arena in the program, incompatible register type).

The tests run on x86-64 and skip elsewhere, as programs with
arena-tagged kfunc args fail verification where the JIT lacks support.

The verifier uses kfunc registration flags to decide whether a kfunc may
be called while a BPF program holds a bpf_spin_lock.

Mark bpf_testmod_test_mod_kfunc() as KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE and verify that it
can be called while holding a bpf_spin_lock. Also attempt to call the
unmarked bpf_kfunc_trigger_ctx_check() under the lock and verify that the

<title>selftests/bpf: Add tests for &gt;8 byte return value and 128-bit arguments</title>

<id>13cc6b788b1a361d6903c141a8e609bcae664301</id>
<content type='text'>
The BPF trampoline preserves only 8 bytes of the target's return value
(R0), so attaching an fexit/fmod_ret/fsession program to a function that
returns a &gt;8 byte value is now rejected by the verifier. Add a bpf_testmod
function returning __int128 and an fexit program that targets it. The
program is expected to fail to load with the "with a &gt;8 byte return value
is not supported for this attach type" message.

A 128-bit __int128 argument is passed in a register pair and occupies two
trampoline context slots. Add a bpf_testmod function taking a leading
__int128 argument followed by an int and a long, and an fexit program that
reads those two trailing arguments and the return value, verifying that the
trampoline reserves enough stack for the 128-bit argument and places the
following arguments and the return value at the right context slots.

__int128 is only available on 64-bit targets (where the compiler defines
__SIZEOF_INT128__). The argument test additionally depends on the calling
convention: x86_64 and arm64 pass an __int128 in a register pair as the
trampoline expects, while other architectures pass it differently (e.g.
s390x passes larger arguments by reference), so that subtest runs only on
x86_64 and arm64 and is skipped elsewhere.

<title>selftests/bpf: Fix test_kmods KDIR to honor O= and distro kernels</title>

test_kmods/Makefile always pointed KDIR at the kernel source tree root,
ignoring O= and KBUILD_OUTPUT. On distro kernels where the source tree has
not been built, the Makefile had no fallback and would fail
unconditionally.

When O= or KBUILD_OUTPUT is set and points at a prepared kernel build
directory (one containing Module.symvers), pass it through so kbuild can
locate the correct build infrastructure (scripts, Kconfig, etc.). Note
that the module artifacts themselves still land in the M= directory,
which is test_kmods/; O= only controls where kbuild finds its build
infrastructure. Fall back to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build when neither
an explicit valid build directory nor an in-tree Module.symvers is
present.

A selftests-only O= value (one that does not contain Module.symvers, e.g.
a private output directory) is intentionally not treated as a kernel
build directory. Without this guard, a user invoking
"make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf O=/tmp/out" would have test_kmods
try to use /tmp/out as the kernel build dir and fail.

The parent bpf/Makefile resolves O= and KBUILD_OUTPUT to absolute paths
before invoking the test_kmods sub-make. Without this, $(abspath ...)
inside test_kmods/Makefile would resolve relative paths against the
sub-make's CWD (test_kmods/) rather than the user's invocation directory.

When O= is passed to kbuild, also pass KBUILD_OUTPUT=$(KMOD_O_VALID)
explicitly. The parent invocation lifts KBUILD_OUTPUT into MAKEFLAGS as
a command-line variable, which would otherwise suppress kbuild's own
"KBUILD_OUTPUT := $(O)" assignment and cause it to use the inherited
KBUILD_OUTPUT instead of the validated O=.

Guard both all and clean against a missing KDIR so the step is silently
skipped rather than fatal. Make the parent Makefile's cp conditional so it
does not abort when modules were not built.

On arm64, the first 8 arguments are passed in registers (x0-x7), so
tests with 8 or fewer arguments never exercise the native stack argument
path in the JIT. Increase argument counts to at least 10 across all
BPF-to-BPF subprog and kfunc stack argument tests so that at least 2
arguments land on the arm64 stack.

For the two-callees test, bump foo1 from 8 to 10 and foo2 from 10 to 12
args to preserve the different-stack-depth flavor of the test.

The bpf_kfunc_call_stack_arg_mem kfunc is left unchanged at 7 args to
avoid breaking the precision backtracking test which relies on hardcoded
verifier log instruction indices.

For the two-callees test, bump foo1 from 8 to 10 and foo2 from 10 to 12
args to preserve the different-stack-depth flavor of the test.

The bpf_kfunc_call_stack_arg_mem kfunc is left unchanged at 7 args to
avoid breaking the precision backtracking test which relies on hardcoded
verifier log instruction indices.

Add negative tests that verify the kfunc (rejecting kfunc call
with &gt;8 byte struct as stack argument) and the verifier
(rejecting invalid uses of r11 for stack arguments).

Add selftests covering stack argument passing for both BPF-to-BPF
subprog calls and kfunc calls with more than 5 arguments. All tests
are guarded by __BPF_FEATURE_STACK_ARGUMENT and __TARGET_ARCH_x86.

BPF-to-BPF subprog call tests (stack_arg.c):
  - Scalar stack args
  - Pointer stack args
  - Mixed pointer/scalar stack args
  - Nested calls
  - Dynptr stack arg
  - Two callees with different stack arg counts
  - Async callback

Kfunc call tests (stack_arg_kfunc.c, with bpf_testmod kfuncs):
  - Scalar stack args
  - Pointer stack args
  - Mixed pointer/scalar stack args
  - Dynptr stack arg
  - Memory buffer + size pair
  - Iterator
  - Const string pointer
  - Timer pointer
