[ Upstream commit 100888fb6d8a185866b1520031ee7e3182b173de ]
With latest clang18 (main branch of llvm-project repo), when building bpf selftests, [~/work/bpf-next (master)]$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 -j
The following compilation error happens: fatal error: error in backend: Branch target out of insn range ... Stack dump: 0. Program arguments: clang -g -Wall -Werror -D__TARGET_ARCH_x86 -mlittle-endian -I/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include -I/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf -I/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/include/uapi -I/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/usr/include -idirafter /home/yhs/work/llvm-project/llvm/build.18/install/lib/clang/18/include -idirafter /usr/local/include -idirafter /usr/include -Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types -DENABLE_ATOMICS_TESTS -O2 --target=bpf -c progs/pyperf180.c -mcpu=v3 -o /home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/pyperf180.bpf.o 1. <eof> parser at end of file 2. Code generation ...
The compilation failure only happens to cpu=v2 and cpu=v3. cpu=v4 is okay since cpu=v4 supports 32-bit branch target offset.
The above failure is due to upstream llvm patch [1] where some inlining behavior are changed in clang18.
To workaround the issue, previously all 180 loop iterations are fully unrolled. The bpf macro __BPF_CPU_VERSION__ (implemented in clang18 recently) is used to avoid unrolling changes if cpu=v4. If __BPF_CPU_VERSION__ is not available and the compiler is clang18, the unrollng amount is unconditionally reduced.
