Currently, if a bpf program has more than one subprograms, each program will be
jitted separately. For programs with bpf-to-bpf calls the
prog->aux->num_exentries is not setup properly. For example, with
bpf_iter_netlink.c modified to force one function to be not inlined and with
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON the following error is seen:
$ ./test_progs -n 3/3
...
libbpf: failed to load program 'iter/netlink'
libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_iter_netlink'
libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bpf_iter_netlink': -4007
test_netlink:FAIL:bpf_iter_netlink__open_and_load skeleton open_and_load failed
#3/3 netlink:FAIL
The dmesg shows the following errors:
ex gen bug
which is triggered by the following code in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
if (excnt >= bpf_prog->aux->num_exentries) {
pr_err("ex gen bug\n");
return -EFAULT;
}
This patch fixes the issue by computing proper num_exentries for each
subprogram before calling JIT.

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.
