[bpf-next,v3,4/9] bpf: Introduce load-acquire and store-release instructions

Commit Message

Peilin Ye Feb. 20, 2025, 1:21 a.m. UTC

Introduce BPF instructions with load-acquire and store-release
semantics, as discussed in [1].  Define 2 new flags:

  #define BPF_LOAD_ACQ    0x100
  #define BPF_STORE_REL   0x110

A "load-acquire" is a BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC instruction with the 'imm'
field set to BPF_LOAD_ACQ (0x100).

Similarly, a "store-release" is a BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC instruction with
the 'imm' field set to BPF_STORE_REL (0x110).

Unlike existing atomic read-modify-write operations that only support
BPF_W (32-bit) and BPF_DW (64-bit) size modifiers, load-acquires and
store-releases also support BPF_B (8-bit) and BPF_H (16-bit).  An 8- or
16-bit load-acquire zero-extends the value before writing it to a 32-bit
register, just like ARM64 instruction LDARH and friends.

Similar to existing atomic read-modify-write operations, misaligned
load-acquires/store-releases are not allowed (even if
BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT is set).

As an example, consider the following 64-bit load-acquire BPF
instruction (assuming little-endian):

  db 10 00 00 00 01 00 00  r0 = load_acquire((u64 *)(r1 + 0x0))

  opcode (0xdb): BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_DW | BPF_STX
  imm (0x00000100): BPF_LOAD_ACQ

Similarly, a 16-bit BPF store-release:

  cb 21 00 00 10 01 00 00  store_release((u16 *)(r1 + 0x0), w2)

  opcode (0xcb): BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_H | BPF_STX
  imm (0x00000110): BPF_STORE_REL

In arch/{arm64,s390,x86}/net/bpf_jit_comp.c, have
bpf_jit_supports_insn(..., /*in_arena=*/true) return false for the new
instructions, until the corresponding JIT compiler supports them.
