We actually had someone working on a scheme for how to express this for programs some months ago, but unfortunately that stalled out (Jesper already knows this, but FYI to the rest of you). In any case, I view this as a "next step". Just exposing the feature bits to userspace will help users today, and as a side effect, this also makes drivers declare what they support, which we can then incorporate into the core code to, e.g., reject attachment of programs that won't work anyway. But let's do this in increments and not make the perfect the enemy of the good here. > BPF now have function calls and function replace right(?) How does > this affect this detection of possible return codes? It does have the same issue as tail calls, in that the return code of the function being replaced can obviously change. However, the verifier knows the target of a replace, so it can propagate any constraints put upon the caller if we implement it that way. -Toke
