Clang implementation notes
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides more details specific to the Clang/LLVM implementation of the eBPF instruction set.
|
||||
|
||||
Versions
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
Clang defined "CPU" versions, where a CPU version of 3 corresponds to the current eBPF ISA.
|
||||
|
||||
Clang can select the eBPF ISA version using ``-mcpu=v3`` for example to select version 3.
|
||||
|
||||
Atomic operations
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Clang can generate atomic instructions by default when ``-mcpu=v3`` is
|
||||
enabled. If a lower version for ``-mcpu`` is set, the only atomic instruction
|
||||
Clang can generate is ``BPF_ADD`` *without* ``BPF_FETCH``. If you need to enable
|
||||
the atomics features, while keeping a lower ``-mcpu`` version, you can use
|
||||
``-Xclang -target-feature -Xclang +alu32``.
|
