objtool: Fix IRET's opcode

2017-01-19T07:39:44Z

The IRET opcode is 0xcf according to the Intel manual and also to objdump of my vmlinux: 1ea8: 48 cf iretq Fix the opcode in arch_decode_instruction(). The previous value (0xc5) seems to correspond to LDS. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

make use of make variable CURDIR instead of calling pwd

2016-12-11T11:12:56Z

make already provides the current working directory in a variable, so make use of it instead of forking a shell. Also replace usage of PWD by CURDIR. PWD is provided by most shells, but not all, so this makes the build system more robust. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

objtool: Fix bytes check of lea's rex_prefix

2016-12-06T08:20:59Z

For the "lea %(rsp), %rbp" case, we check if there is a rex_prefix. But we check 'bytes' which is insn_byte_t[4] in rex_prefix (insn_field structure). Therefore, the check is always true. Instead, check 'nbytes' which is the right one. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

objtool: Fix rare switch jump table pattern detection

2016-10-27T06:20:27Z

The following commit: 3732710ff6f2 ("objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection") ... improved objtool's ability to detect GCC switch statement jump tables for GCC 6. However the check to allow short jumps with the scanned range of instructions wasn't quite right. The pattern detection should allow jumps to the indirect jump instruction itself. This fixes the following warning: drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x315: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: 3732710ff6f2 ("objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161026153408.2rifnw7bvoc5sex7@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernels

2016-10-16T07:12:36Z

Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction" warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC. Usually this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't understand. But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions really are inaccessible. It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings. With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced by them. But GCC 6 has gotten craftier. Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger, more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole file when gcov is enabled. This is fine to do because a) unreachable warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.

objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection

2016-10-16T07:12:35Z

GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes objtool's life harder. It looks like: mov [rodata addr],%reg1 ... some instructions ... jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8) The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow paths related to the switch statement. In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first instruction in the pattern. If it encounters an unconditional jump along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found. As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are small forward jumps within the range being scanned. This fixes the following warnings: drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

objtool: Support '-mtune=atom' stack frame setup instruction

2016-10-11T08:35:45Z

Arnd reported that enabling CONFIG_MATOM results in a bunch of objtool false positive frame pointer warnings: arch/x86/events/intel/ds.o: warning: objtool: intel_pmu_pebs_del()+0x43: call without frame pointer save/setup security/keys/keyring.o: warning: objtool: keyring_read()+0x59: call without frame pointer save/setup kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: __dequeue_signal()+0xd8: call without frame pointer save/setup ... objtool gets confused by the fact that the '-mtune=atom' GCC option sometimes uses 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' instead of 'mov %rsp,%rbp'. The instructions are effectively the same, but objtool doesn't know about the 'lea' variant. Fix the false warnings by adding support for 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' in the objtool decoder.

objtool: Add do_task_dead() to global noreturn list

2016-09-23T05:28:05Z

objtool reports the following new warning: kernel/exit.o: warning: objtool: do_exit() falls through to next function complete_and_exit() The warning is caused by do_exit()'s new call to do_task_dead(), which is a new "noreturn" function which objtool doesn't know about yet, introduced by: 9af6528ee9b6 ("sched/core: Optimize __schedule()") ( objtool has to know all the global noreturn functions so it can follow the control flow of any functions which call them. Unfortunately they need to be hard-coded because there's no automated way to detect them. ) Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: kbuild-all@01.org Cc: tipbuild@zytor.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160922212125.zbuewckqll4yur25@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
