objtool, retpolines: Integrate objtool with retpoline support more closely

2018-03-15T09:54:38Z

commit d5028ba8ee5a18c9d0bb926d883c28b370f89009 upstream. Disable retpoline validation in objtool if your compiler sucks, and otherwise select the validation stuff for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y (most builds would already have it set due to ORC).

objtool: Add retpoline validation

2018-03-15T09:54:37Z

commit b5bc2231b8ad4387c9641f235ca0ad8cd300b6df upstream. David requested a objtool validation pass for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y enabled builds, where it validates no unannotated indirect jumps or calls are left. Add an additional .discard.retpoline_safe section to allow annotating the few indirect sites that are required and safe.

objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker

2018-01-23T18:58:13Z

commit 2a0098d70640dda192a79966c14d449e7a34d675 upstream. Objtool segfaults when the gold linker is used with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y and CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y. With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the .o file gets passed to the linker before being passed to objtool. The gold linker seems to strip unused ELF symbols by default, which confuses objtool and causes the seg fault when it's trying to generate ORC metadata. Objtool should really be running immediately after GCC anyway, without a linker call in between. Change the makefile ordering so that objtool is called before the linker.

Kbuild: don't pass "-C" to preprocessor when processing linker scripts

2017-11-02T21:10:37Z

For some odd historical reason, we preprocessed the linker scripts with "-C", which keeps comments around. That makes no sense, since the comments are not meaningful for the build anyway. And it actually breaks things, since linker scripts can't have C++ style "//" comments in them, so keeping comments after preprocessing now limits us in odd and surprising ways in our header files for no good reason. The -C option goes back to pre-git and pre-bitkeeper times, but seems to have been historically used (along with "-traditional") for some odd-ball architectures (ia64, MIPS and SH). It probably didn't matter back then either, but might possibly have been used to minimize the difference between the original file and the pre-processed result. The reason for this may be lost in time, but let's not perpetuate it only because we can't remember why we did this crazy thing. This was triggered by the recent addition of SPDX lines to the source tree, where people apparently were confused about why header files couldn't use the C++ comment format.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

objtool: Skip unreachable warnings for GCC 4.4 and older

2017-09-28T05:23:02Z

The kbuild bot occasionally reports warnings like: drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_core.o: warning: objtool: seldo_run()+0x130: unreachable instruction These warnings are always with GCC 4.4. That version of GCC sometimes places unreachable instructions after calls to noreturn functions. The unreachable warnings aren't very important anyway. Just ignore them for old versions of GCC.

Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2017-09-04T16:52:57Z

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar: - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding. Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain. The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively: there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even with early versions. (knock on wood!) But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel measurably: With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads. The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems. Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make it the default unwinder on x86. See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details. - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to its removal.
