Linux kernel source tree
6c17a882d3
The private stack is allocated in bpf_int_jit_compile() with 16-byte
alignment. It includes additional guard regions to detect stack
overflows and underflows at runtime.
Memory layout:
+------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| 16 bytes padding (overflow guard - stack top) |
| [ detects writes beyond top of stack ] |
BPF FP ->+------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| BPF private stack (sized by verifier) |
| [ 16-byte aligned ] |
| |
BPF PRIV SP ->+------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| 16 bytes padding (underflow guard - stack bottom) |
| [ detects accesses before start of stack ] |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------+
On detection of an overflow or underflow, the kernel emits messages
like:
BPF private stack overflow/underflow detected for prog <prog_name>

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 reStructuredText 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.
