objtool: Support GCC 9 cold subfunction naming scheme

2019-08-06T16:29:42Z

commit bcb6fb5da77c2a228adf07cc9cb1a0c2aa2001c6 upstream. Starting with GCC 8, a lot of unlikely code was moved out of line to "cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely. For example, the unlikely bits of: irq_do_set_affinity() are moved out to the following subfunction: irq_do_set_affinity.cold.49() Starting with GCC 9, the numbered suffix has been removed. So in the above example, the cold subfunction is instead: irq_do_set_affinity.cold() Tweak the objtool subfunction detection logic so that it detects both GCC 8 and GCC 9 naming schemes.

objtool: Fix segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections

2018-12-17T08:38:32Z

[ Upstream commit 22566c1603030f0a036ad564634b064ad1a55db2 ] Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects the result of find_symbol_by_name(). In the case where a ".cold" function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a segfault in add_switch_table(). The effects of this bug are only visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS. Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.

objtool: Fix double-free in .cold detection error path

2018-12-17T08:38:32Z

[ Upstream commit 0b9301fb632f7111a3293a30cc5b20f1b82ed08d ] If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in elf_close(). Fix it by just returning an error, leaving cleanup to elf_close().

objtool: Support GCC 8 '-fnoreorder-functions'

2018-08-24T11:12:35Z

[ Upstream commit 08b393d01c88aff27347ed2b1b354eb4db2f1532 ] Since the following commit: cd77849a69cf ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions") ... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions', objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop. That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text instead of .text.unlikely. But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside the parent (nmi_panic). That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an infinite loop in next_insn_same_func(). Here's Allan's description of the loop: "Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528 after reaching 0x534." Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the functions no longer overlap.

objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions

2018-06-05T08:28:57Z

commit 13810435b9a7014fb92eb715f77da488f3b65b99 upstream. GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely. Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as extensions of the original functions. This fixes a bunch of warnings like: kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: parse_cgroup_root_flags()+0x33: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_addrm_files()+0x290: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_apply_control_enable()+0x25b: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: rebind_subsystems()+0x325: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame Reported-and-tested-by: damian Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: David Laight Cc: Greg KH Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/0965e7fcfc5f31a276f0c7f298ff770c19b68706.1525923412.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

objtool: sync up with the 4.14.47 version of objtool

2018-06-05T08:28:57Z

There are pros and cons of dealing with tools in the kernel directory. The pros are the fact that development happens fast, and new features can be added to the kernel and the tools at the same times. The cons are when dealing with backported kernel patches, it can be necessary to backport parts of the tool changes as well. For 4.9.y so far, we have backported individual patches. That quickly breaks down when there are minor differences between how backports were handled, so grabbing 40+ patch long series can be difficult, not impossible, but really frustrating to attempt. To help mitigate this mess, here's a single big patch to sync up the objtool logic to the 4.14.47 version of the tool. From this point forward (after some other minor header file patches are applied), the tool should be in sync and much easier to maintain over time. This has survivied my limited testing, and as the codebase is identical to 4.14.47, I'm pretty comfortable dropping this big change in here in 4.9.y. Hopefully all goes well...

objtool: Improve error message for bad file argument

objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issue

2017-07-05T12:40:30Z

commit 5c51f4ae84df0f9df33ac08aa5be50061a8b4242 upstream. Arnd Bergmann reported a (false positive) objtool warning: drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0xfe: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer The issue is in find_switch_table(). It tries to find a switch statement's jump table by walking backwards from an indirect jump instruction, looking for a relocation to the .rodata section. In this case it stopped walking prematurely: the first .rodata relocation it encountered was for a variable (resp_state_name) instead of a jump table, so it just assumed there wasn't a jump table. The fix is to ignore any .rodata relocation which refers to an ELF object symbol. This works because the jump tables are anonymous and have no symbols associated with them.

objtool: Add several performance improvements

2016-03-09T09:48:10Z

Use hash tables for instruction and rela lookups (and keep the linked lists around for sequential access). Also cache the section struct for the "__func_stack_frame_non_standard" section. With this change, "objtool check net/wireless/nl80211.o" goes from: real 0m1.168s user 0m1.163s sys 0m0.005s to: real 0m0.059s user 0m0.042s sys 0m0.017s for a 20x speedup. With the same object, it should be noted that the memory heap usage grew from 8MB to 62MB. Reducing the memory usage is on the TODO list.
