commit 0d7597749f5a3ac67851d3836635d084df15fb66 upstream.
When KCOV or GCOV is enabled, dead code can be left behind, in which
case objtool silences unreachable and undefined behavior (fallthrough)
warnings.
Fallthrough warnings, and their variant "end of section" warnings, were
silenced with the following commit:
6b023c784204 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings")
Another variant of a fallthrough warning is a jump to the end of a
function. If that function happens to be at the end of a section, the
jump destination doesn't actually exist.
Normally that would be a fatal objtool error, but for KCOV/GCOV it's
just another undefined behavior fallthrough. Silence it like the
others.
Fixes the following warning:
drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.o: warning: objtool: iommu_dma_sw_msi+0x92: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x54d5

[ Upstream commit 6b023c7842048c4bbeede802f3cf36b96c7a8b25 ]
In the past there were issues with KCOV triggering unreachable
instruction warnings, which is why unreachable warnings are now disabled
with CONFIG_KCOV.
Now some new KCOV warnings are showing up with GCC 14:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cpuset_write_resmask() falls through to next function cpuset_update_active_cpus.cold()
drivers/usb/core/driver.o: error: objtool: usb_deregister() falls through to next function usb_match_device()
sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-wcd934x.o: warning: objtool: .text.wcd934x_slim_irq_handler: unexpected end of section
All are caused by GCC KCOV not finishing an optimization, leaving behind
a never-taken conditional branch to a basic block which falls through to
the next function (or end of section).
At a high level this is similar to the unreachable warnings mentioned
above, in that KCOV isn't fully removing dead code. Treat it the same
way by adding these to the list of warnings to ignore with CONFIG_KCOV.

[ Upstream commit a8df7d0ef92eca28c610206c6748daf537ac0586 ]
The !CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION version of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat() ends
with a SYSCALL instruction which is classified by objtool as
INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH.
Unlike validate_branch(), validate_unret() doesn't consider
INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH in a non-function to be a dead end, so it keeps
going past the end of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat(), resulting in the
following warning:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: xen_reschedule_interrupt+0x2a: RET before UNTRAIN
Fix that by adding INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH handling to validate_unret() to
match what validate_branch() is already doing.

[ Upstream commit 8085fcd78c1a3dbdf2278732579009d41ce0bc4e ]
The CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 version of exc_double_fault() can return to its
caller, but the !CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 version never does. In the latter
case the compiler and/or objtool may consider it to be implicitly
noreturn.
However, due to the currently inflexible way objtool detects noreturns,
a function's noreturn status needs to be consistent across configs.
The current workaround for this issue is to suppress unreachable
warnings for exc_double_fault()'s callers. Unfortunately that can
result in ORC coverage gaps and potentially worse issues like inert
static calls and silently disabled CPU mitigations.
Instead, prevent exc_double_fault() from ever being implicitly marked
noreturn by forcing a return behind a never-taken conditional.
Until a more integrated noreturn detection method exists, this is likely
the least objectionable workaround.

Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no
justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative.
To clarify, the whole thing looks like:
Zen3/4 does:
srso_alias_untrain_ret:
nop2
lfence
jmp srso_alias_return_thunk
int3
srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so
add $8, %rsp
ret
int3
srso_alias_return_thunk:
call srso_alias_safe_ret
ud2
While Zen1/2 does:
srso_untrain_ret:
movabs $foo, %rax
lfence
call srso_safe_ret (jmp srso_return_thunk ?)
int3
srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction
add $8,%rsp
ret
int3
srso_return_thunk:
call srso_safe_ret
ud2
While retbleed does:
zen_untrain_ret:
test $0xcc, %bl
lfence
jmp zen_return_thunk
int3
zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction
ret
int3
Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick
(test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence
(srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to
speculate into a trap (UD2). This RET will then mispredict and
execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the
stack.
Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return
once).

Objtool --rethunk does two things:
- it collects all (tail) call's of __x86_return_thunk and places them
into .return_sites. These are typically compiler generated, but
RET also emits this same.
- it fudges the validation of the __x86_return_thunk symbol; because
this symbol is inside another instruction, it can't actually find
the instruction pointed to by the symbol offset and gets upset.
Because these two things pertained to the same symbol, there was no
pressing need to separate these two separate things.
However, alas, along comes SRSO and more crazy things to deal with
appeared.
The SRSO patch itself added the following symbol names to identify as
rethunk:
'srso_untrain_ret', 'srso_safe_ret' and '__ret'
Where '__ret' is the old retbleed return thunk, 'srso_safe_ret' is a
new similarly embedded return thunk, and 'srso_untrain_ret' is
completely unrelated to anything the above does (and was only included
because of that INT3 vs UD2 issue fixed previous).
Clear things up by adding a second category for the embedded instruction
thing.

The linker script arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S matches the thunk
sections ".text.__x86.*" from arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S as follows:
.text {
[...]
TEXT_TEXT
[...]
__indirect_thunk_start = .;
*(.text.__x86.*)
__indirect_thunk_end = .;
[...]
}
Macro TEXT_TEXT references TEXT_MAIN which normally expands to only
".text". However, with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, TEXT_MAIN becomes
".text .text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*" which wrongly matches also the thunk
sections. The output layout is then different than expected. For
instance, the currently defined range [__indirect_thunk_start,
__indirect_thunk_end] becomes empty.
Prevent the problem by using ".." as the first separator, for example,
".text..__x86.indirect_thunk". This pattern is utilized by other
explicit section names which start with one of the standard prefixes,
such as ".text" or ".data", and that need to be individually selected in
the linker script.

Add a mitigation for the speculative return address stack overflow
vulnerability found on AMD processors.
The mitigation works by ensuring all RET instructions speculate to
a controlled location, similar to how speculation is controlled in the
retpoline sequence. To accomplish this, the __x86_return_thunk forces
the CPU to mispredict every function return using a 'safe return'
sequence.
To ensure the safety of this mitigation, the kernel must ensure that the
safe return sequence is itself free from attacker interference. In Zen3
and Zen4, this is accomplished by creating a BTB alias between the
untraining function srso_untrain_ret_alias() and the safe return
function srso_safe_ret_alias() which results in evicting a potentially
poisoned BTB entry and using that safe one for all function returns.
In older Zen1 and Zen2, this is accomplished using a reinterpretation
technique similar to Retbleed one: srso_untrain_ret() and
srso_safe_ret().

The objtool merge in commit 6f612579be9d ("Merge tag 'objtool-core ...")
generated a semantic conflict that was not resolved.
The btrfs_assertfail() entry was removed from the noreturn list in
commit b831306b3b7d ("btrfs: print assertion failure report and stack
trace from the same line") because btrfs_assertfail() was changed from a
noreturn function into a macro.
The noreturn list was then moved from check.c to noreturns.h in commit
6245ce4ab670 ("objtool: Move noreturn function list to separate file"),
and should be removed from that post-merge as well.

peak heap usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.
On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce
objtool's peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.
These changes also improve the runtime significantly.
Debuggability improvements:
- Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
debugging output
- Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
- Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
- Include backtrace in verbose mode
- Detect missing __noreturn annotations
- Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
- Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
- Move noreturn function list to separate file
- Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns
Unwinder improvements:
- Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
- drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber
Cleanups:
- Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
- x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
- Remove unnecessary/unused variables

Assertions reports are split into two parts, the exact file and location
of the condition and then the stack trace printed from
btrfs_assertfail(). This means all the stack traces report the same line
and this is what's typically reported by various tools, making it harder
to distinguish the reports.

Objtool doesn't use DWARF at all, and the DWARF sections' data take up a
lot of memory. Skip reading them.
Note this only skips the DWARF base sections, not the rela sections.
The relas are needed because their symbol references may need to be
reindexed if any local symbols get added by elf_create_symbol().
Also note the DWARF data will eventually be read by libelf anyway, when
writing the object file. But that's fine, the goal here is to reduce
*peak* memory usage, and the previous patch (which freed insn memory)
gave some breathing room. So the allocation gets shifted to a later
time, resulting in lower peak memory usage.

The GElf_Rel[a] structs have more similarities than differences. It's
safe to hard-code the assumptions about their shared fields as they will
never change. Consolidate their handling where possible, getting rid of
duplicated code.
Also, at least for now we only ever create rela sections, so simplify
the relocation creation code to be rela-only.

- The term "reloc" is overloaded to mean both "an instance of struct
reloc" and "a reloc section". Change the latter to "rsec".
- For variable names, use "sec" for regular sections and "rsec" for rela
sections to prevent them getting mixed up.
- For struct reloc variables, use "reloc" instead of "rel" everywhere
for consistency.
