Private stack is allocated in function bpf_int_jit_compile() with alignment 8. Private stack allocation size includes the stack size determined by verifier and additional space to protect stack overflow and underflow. See below an illustration: ---> memory address increasing [8 bytes to protect overflow] [normal stack] [8 bytes to protect underflow] If overflow/underflow is detected, kernel messages will be emited in dmesg like BPF private stack overflow/underflow detected for prog Fx BPF Private stack overflow/underflow detected for prog bpf_prog_a41699c234a1567a_subprog1x Those messages are generated when I made some changes to jitted code to intentially cause overflow for some progs. For the jited prog, The x86 register 9 (X86_REG_R9) is used to replace bpf frame register (BPF_REG_10). The private stack is used per subprog per cpu. The X86_REG_R9 is saved and restored around every func call (not including tailcall) to maintain correctness of X86_REG_R9.

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.
