objtool: Refactor jump table code

2019-07-18T19:01:09Z

Now that C jump tables are supported, call them "jump tables" instead of "switch tables". Also rename some other variables, add comments, and simplify the code flow a bit.

objtool: Refactor function alias logic

2019-07-18T19:01:07Z

- Add an alias check in validate_functions(). With this change, aliases no longer need uaccess_safe set. - Add an alias check in decode_instructions(). With this change, the "if (!insn->func)" check is no longer needed. - Don't create aliases for zero-length functions, as it can have unexpected results. The next patch will spit out a warning for zero-length functions anyway.

objtool: Rename elf_open() to prevent conflict with libelf from elftoolchain

2019-07-17T22:50:14Z

The elftoolchain version of libelf has a function named elf_open(). The function name isn't quite accurate anyway, since it also reads all the ELF data. Rename it to elf_read(), which is more accurate.

objtool: Use Elf_Scn typedef instead of assuming struct name

2019-07-17T22:50:14Z

The libelf implementation might use a different struct name, and the Elf_Scn typedef is already used throughout the rest of objtool.

objtool: Handle function aliases

2019-04-03T09:02:24Z

Function aliases result in different symbols for the same set of instructions; track a canonical symbol so there is a unique point of access. This again prepares the way for function attributes. And in particular the need for aliases comes from how KASAN uses them.

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

2018-11-20T17:59:00Z

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

2018-11-20T17:59:00Z

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 9 cold subfunction naming scheme

2018-11-01T08:55:38Z

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.
