[ Upstream commit 2f1b0d3d733169eb11680bfa97c266ae5e757148 ]
The RISC-V architecture does not expose sub-registers, and hold all
32-bit values in a sign-extended format [1] [2]:
| The compiler and calling convention maintain an invariant that all
| 32-bit values are held in a sign-extended format in 64-bit
| registers. Even 32-bit unsigned integers extend bit 31 into bits
| 63 through 32. Consequently, conversion between unsigned and
| signed 32-bit integers is a no-op, as is conversion from a signed
| 32-bit integer to a signed 64-bit integer.
While BPF, on the other hand, exposes sub-registers, and use
zero-extension (similar to arm64/x86).
This has led to some subtle bugs, where a BPF JITted program has not
sign-extended the a0 register (return value in RISC-V land), passed
the return value up the kernel, e.g.:
| int from_bpf(void);
|
| long foo(void)
| {
| return from_bpf();
| }
Here, a0 would be 0xffff_ffff, instead of the expected
0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff.
Internally, the RISC-V JIT uses a5 as a dedicated register for BPF
return values.
Keep a5 zero-extended, but explicitly sign-extend a0 (which is used
outside BPF land). Now that a0 (RISC-V ABI) and a5 (BPF ABI) differs,
a0 is only moved to a5 for non-BPF native calls (BPF_PSEUDO_CALL).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
