commit 385d11b152c4eb638eeb769edcb3249533bb9a00 upstream.

If a nonexistent file is supplied to objtool, it complains with a
non-helpful error:

  open: No such file or directory

Improve it to:

  objtool: Can't open 'foo': No such file or directory

<title>objtool: Fix retpoline support for pre-ORC objtool</title>

Objtool 1.0 (pre-ORC) produces the following warning when it encounters
a retpoline:

  arch/x86/crypto/camellia-aesni-avx2-asm_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0xf: return instruction outside of a callable function

That warning is meant to catch GCC bugs and missing ENTRY/ENDPROC
annotations, neither of which are applicable to alternatives.  Silence
the warning for alternative instructions, just like objtool 2.0 already
does.

commit 258c76059cece01bebae098e81bacb1af2edad17 upstream.

Getting objtool to understand retpolines is going to be a bit of a
challenge.  For now, take advantage of the fact that retpolines are
patched in with alternatives.  Just read the original (sane)
non-alternative instruction, and ignore the patched-in retpoline.

This allows objtool to understand the control flow *around* the
retpoline, even if it can't yet follow what's inside.  This means the
ORC unwinder will fail to unwind from inside a retpoline, but will work
fine otherwise.

<content type='text'>
commit 39b735332cb8b33a27c28592d969e4016c86c3ea upstream.

A direct jump to a retpoline thunk is really an indirect jump in
disguise.  Change the objtool instruction type accordingly.

Objtool needs to know where indirect branches are so it can detect
switch statement jump tables.

This fixes a bunch of warnings with CONFIG_RETPOLINE like:

  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o: warning: objtool: nhmex_rbox_msr_enable_event()+0x44: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: copy_siginfo_to_user()+0x91: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  ...

<title>objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modules</title>

commit e390f9a9689a42f477a6073e2e7df530a4c1b740 upstream.

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time.  They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.

Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.".  It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.

Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

<content type='text'>
When building objtool, we get the warning:
	warning: objtool: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel

That's due to commit 2816c0455cea088f07a210f8a00701a82a78aa9c which was
commit 12a78d43de767eaf8fb272facb7a7b6f2dc6a9df upstream that modified
arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt without also updating the objtool copy.
The objtool copy was updated in a much larger patch upstream, but we
don't need all of that here, so just update the single file.

If this gets too annoying, I'll just end up doing what we did for 4.14
and backport the whole series to keep this from happening again, but as
this seems to be rare in the 4.9-stable series, this single patch should
be fine.

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.

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.

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.

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
