vmlinux.lds.h: Add PGO and AutoFDO input sections

2020-11-05T10:51:30Z

commit eff8728fe69880d3f7983bec3fb6cea4c306261f upstream. Basically, consider .text.{hot|unlikely|unknown}.* part of .text, too. When compiling with profiling information (collected via PGO instrumentations or AutoFDO sampling), Clang will separate code into .text.hot, .text.unlikely, or .text.unknown sections based on profiling information. After D79600 (clang-11), these sections will have a trailing `.` suffix, ie. .text.hot., .text.unlikely., .text.unknown.. When using -ffunction-sections together with profiling infomation, either explicitly (FGKASLR) or implicitly (LTO), code may be placed in sections following the convention: .text.hot., .text.unlikely., .text.unknown. where , , and are functions. (This produces one section per function; we generally try to merge these all back via linker script so that we don't have 50k sections). For the above cases, we need to teach our linker scripts that such sections might exist and that we'd explicitly like them grouped together, otherwise we can wind up with code outside of the _stext/_etext boundaries that might not be mapped properly for some architectures, resulting in boot failures. If the linker script is not told about possible input sections, then where the section is placed as output is a heuristic-laiden mess that's non-portable between linkers (ie. BFD and LLD), and has resulted in many hard to debug bugs. Kees Cook is working on cleaning this up by adding --orphan-handling=warn linker flag used in ARCH=powerpc to additional architectures. In the case of linker scripts, borrowing from the Zen of Python: explicit is better than implicit. Also, ld.bfd's internal linker script considers .text.hot AND .text.hot.* to be part of .text, as well as .text.unlikely and .text.unlikely.*. I didn't see support for .text.unknown.*, and didn't see Clang producing such code in our kernel builds, but I see code in LLVM that can produce such section names if profiling information is missing. That may point to a larger issue with generating or collecting profiles, but I would much rather be safe and explicit than have to debug yet another issue related to orphan section placement.

bpf: Prevent .BTF section elimination

2020-09-21T19:50:44Z

Systems with memory or disk constraints often reduce the kernel footprint by configuring LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION. However, this can result in removal of any BTF information. Use the KEEP() macro to preserve the BTF data as done with other important sections, while still allowing for smaller kernels.

The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky. The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it. At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3113e8b203b9debfb72d81e0f3dcace which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately. This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers. While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong in foo.c files. The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping modifications. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

x86, vmlinux.lds: Page-align end of ..page_aligned sections

2020-07-22T07:38:37Z

On x86-32 the idt_table with 256 entries needs only 2048 bytes. It is page-aligned, but the end of the .bss..page_aligned section is not guaranteed to be page-aligned. As a result, objects from other .bss sections may end up on the same 4k page as the idt_table, and will accidentially get mapped read-only during boot, causing unexpected page-faults when the kernel writes to them. This could be worked around by making the objects in the page aligned sections page sized, but that's wrong. Explicit sections which store only page aligned objects have an implicit guarantee that the object is alone in the page in which it is placed. That works for all objects except the last one. That's inconsistent. Enforcing page sized objects for these sections would wreckage memory sanitizers, because the object becomes artificially larger than it should be and out of bound access becomes legit. Align the end of the .bss..page_aligned and .data..page_aligned section on page-size so all objects places in these sections are guaranteed to have their own page.
