commit 79549da691edd4874c19d99c578a134471817c47 upstream.

Commit 010a0aad39fc ("kallsyms: Correctly sequence symbols when
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y") added --lto-clang, and updated the usage()
function, but not the comment. Update it in the same way.

The comment in scripts/kallsyms.c describing the usage of
scripts/kallsyms does not reflect the latest implementation.
Fix the comment to be equivalent to what the usage() function prints.

commit ced0f245ed951e2b8bd68f79c15238d7dd253662 upstream.

My randconfig build setup ran into another kallsyms warning:

Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround

After adding some debugging code to kallsyms.c, I saw that the recently
added kallsyms_seqs_of_names symbol can sometimes cause the second stage
table to be slightly longer than the first stage, which makes the
build inconsistent.

Add it to the exception table that contains all other kallsyms-generated
symbols.

<title>kallsyms: strip LTO-only suffixes from promoted global functions</title>

[ Upstream commit 8cc32a9bbf2934d90762d9de0187adcb5ad46a11 ]

Commit 6eb4bd92c1ce ("kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions")
stripped all function/variable suffixes started with '.' regardless
of whether those suffixes are generated at LTO mode or not. In fact,
as far as I know, in LTO mode, when a static function/variable is
promoted to the global scope, '.llvm.&lt;...&gt;' suffix is added.

The existing mechanism breaks live patch for a LTO kernel even if
no &lt;symbol&gt;.llvm.&lt;...&gt; symbols are involved. For example, for the following
kernel symbols:
  $ grep bpf_verifier_vlog /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffff81549f60 t bpf_verifier_vlog
  ffffffff8268b430 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry
  ffffffff8282a958 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry_ptr
  ffffffff82e12a1f d bpf_verifier_vlog.__already_done
'bpf_verifier_vlog' is a static function. '_entry', '_entry_ptr' and
'__already_done' are static variables used inside 'bpf_verifier_vlog',
so llvm promotes them to file-level static with prefix 'bpf_verifier_vlog.'.
Note that the func-level to file-level static function promotion also
happens without LTO.

Given a symbol name 'bpf_verifier_vlog', with LTO kernel, current mechanism will
return 4 symbols to live patch subsystem which current live patching
subsystem cannot handle it. With non-LTO kernel, only one symbol
is returned.

In [1], we have a lengthy discussion, the suggestion is to separate two
cases:
  (1). new symbols with suffix which are generated regardless of whether
       LTO is enabled or not, and
  (2). new symbols with suffix generated only when LTO is enabled.

The cleanup_symbol_name() should only remove suffixes for case (2).
Case (1) should not be changed so it can work uniformly with or without LTO.

This patch removed LTO-only suffix '.llvm.&lt;...&gt;' so live patching and
tracing should work the same way for non-LTO kernel.
The cleanup_symbol_name() in scripts/kallsyms.c is also changed to have the same
filtering pattern so both kernel and kallsyms tool have the same
expectation on the order of symbols.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 010a0aad39fccceba4a07d30d163158a39c704f3 ]

LLVM appends various suffixes for local functions and variables, suffixes
observed:
 - foo.llvm.[0-9a-f]+
 - foo.[0-9a-f]+

Therefore, when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, kallsyms_lookup_name() needs to
truncate the suffix of the symbol name before comparing the local function
or variable name.

Old implementation code:
-	if (strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0)
-		return kallsyms_sym_address(i);
-	if (cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf) &amp;&amp; strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0)
-		return kallsyms_sym_address(i);

The preceding process is traversed by address from low to high. That is,
for those with the same name after the suffix is removed, the one with
the smallest address is returned first. Therefore, when sorting in the
tool, if the raw names are the same, they should be sorted by address in
ascending order.

ASCII[.]   = 2e
ASCII[0-9] = 30,39
ASCII[A-Z] = 41,5a
ASCII[_]   = 5f
ASCII[a-z] = 61,7a

According to the preceding ASCII code values, the following sorting result
is strictly followed.
 ---------------------------------
|    main-key     |    sub-key    |
|---------------------------------|
|                 |  addr_lowest  |
| &lt;name&gt;          |      ...      |
| &lt;name&gt;.&lt;suffix&gt; |      ...      |
|                 |  addr_highest |
|---------------------------------|
| &lt;name&gt;?&lt;others&gt; |               |   //? is [_A-Za-z0-9]

[ Upstream commit 60443c88f3a89fd303a9e8c0e84895910675c316 ]

Currently, to search for a symbol, we need to expand the symbols in
'kallsyms_names' one by one, and then use the expanded string for
comparison. It's O(n).

If we sort names in ascending order like addresses, we can also use
binary search. It's O(log(n)).

In order not to change the implementation of "/proc/kallsyms", the table
kallsyms_names[] is still stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the
address in ascending order.

Add array kallsyms_seqs_of_names[], it's indexed by the sequence number
of the sorted names, and the corresponding content is the sequence number
of the sorted addresses. For example:
Assume that the index of NameX in array kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] is 'i',
the content of kallsyms_seqs_of_names[i] is 'k', then the corresponding
address of NameX is kallsyms_addresses[k]. The offset in kallsyms_names[]
is get_symbol_offset(k).

Note that the memory usage will increase by (4 * kallsyms_num_syms)
bytes, the next two patches will reduce (1 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes
and properly handle the case CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y.

Performance test results: (x86)
Before:
min=234, max=10364402, avg=5206926
min=267, max=11168517, avg=5207587
After:
min=1016, max=90894, avg=7272
min=1014, max=93470, avg=7293

The average lookup performance of kallsyms_lookup_name() improved 715x.

<title>kbuild: Disable GCOV for *.mod.o</title>

[ Upstream commit 25a21fbb934a0d989e1858f83c2ddf4cfb2ebe30 ]

With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to each
object file, including the *.mod.o. As we filter out CC_FLAGS_CFI
for *.mod.o, the compiler won't generate type hashes for the
injected functions, and therefore indirectly calling them during
module loading trips indirect call checking.

Enabling CFI for *.mod.o isn't sufficient to fix this issue after
commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash randomization"),
as *.mod.o aren't processed by objtool, which means any hashes
emitted there won't be randomized. Therefore, in addition to
disabling CFI for *.mod.o, also disable GCOV, as the object files
don't otherwise contain any executable code.

I imported (with adjustment) sign_extend32() from include/linux/bitops.h.

The '+8' is the compensation for pc-relative instruction. It is
documented in "ELF for the Arm Architecture" [1].

  "If the relocation is pc-relative then compensation for the PC bias
  (the PC value is 8 bytes ahead of the executing instruction in Arm
  state and 4 bytes in Thumb state) must be encoded in the relocation

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -&gt; foo (section: .init.data)

For R_ARM_ABS32, addend_arm_rel() sets r-&gt;r_addend to a wrong value.

I just mimicked the code in arch/arm/kernel/module.c.

However, there is more difficulty for ARM.

Here, test code.

  [test code 2]

    #include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;

    int __initdata foo;
    int get_foo(void) { return foo; }

    int __initdata bar;
    int get_bar(void) { return bar; }

With this commit applied, modpost will show the following messages
for ARM versatile_defconfig:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -&gt; foo (section: .init.data)
  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_bar (section: .text) -&gt; foo (section: .init.data)

The reference from 'get_bar' to 'foo' seems wrong.

I have no solution for this because it is true in assembly level.

In the following output, relocation at 0x1c is no longer associated
with 'bar'. The two relocation entries point to the same symbol, and
the offset to 'bar' is encoded in the instruction 'r0, [r3, #4]'.

When find_elf_symbol() gets into a situation where relsym-&gt;st_name is
zero, there is no guarantee to get the symbol name as written in C.

I am keeping the current logic because it is useful in many architectures,
but the symbol name is not always correct depending on the optimization.
I left some comments in find_tosym().
