With this patch, it does not change the current limit 33, MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT can reflect the actual max tail call count, the tailcall selftests can work well, and also the above failed testcase in test_bpf can be fixed for the interpreter (all archs) and the JIT (all archs except for x86). # uname -m x86_64 # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable # modprobe test_bpf # dmesg | grep -w FAIL Tail call error path, max count reached jited:1 ret 33 != 34 FAILCould you also state in here which archs you have tested with this change? I presume /every/ arch which has a JIT?
OK, will do it in v3. I have tested on x86 and mips.

Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn> --- v2: -- fix the typos in the commit message and update the commit message. -- fix the failed tailcall selftests for x86 jit. I am not quite sure the change on x86 is proper, with this change, tailcall selftests passed, but tailcall limit test in test_bpf.ko failed, I do not know the reason now, I think this is another issue, maybe someone more versed in x86 jit could take a look.There should be a series from Johan coming today with regards to test_bpf.ko that will fix the "tail call error path, max count reached" test which had an assumption in that R0 would always be valid for the fall-through and could be passed to the bpf_exit insn whereas it is not guaranteed and verifier, for example, forbids a subsequent access to R0 w/o reinit. For your testing, I would suggested to recheck once this series is out.
I will test the following patch on x86 and mips: [PATCH bpf v4 13/14] bpf/tests: Fix error in tail call limit tests [...]

If so, we should cleanly follow the reference implementation (== interpreter) _everywhere_ and _not_ introduce additional variants/implementations across JITs.
In order tokeep consistencyand make as few changes as possible,
<javascript:void(0);>I will modify the check condition as follows:
#define MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT 33
(1) for x86, arm64, ... (0 ~ 32)
tcc = 0;
if (tcc == MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT)
goto out;
tcc++;
(2) for mips, riscv (33 ~ 1)
tcc = MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT;
if (tcc == 0)
goto out;
tcc--;
