objtool/LoongArch: Mark special atomic instruction as INSN_BUG type

2025-09-18T11:43:36Z

When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_RUST is set, there exists the following objtool warning: rust/compiler_builtins.o: warning: objtool: __rust__unordsf2(): unexpected end of section .text.unlikely. objdump shows that the end of section .text.unlikely is an atomic instruction: amswap.w $zero, $ra, $zero According to the LoongArch Reference Manual, if the amswap.w atomic memory access instruction has the same register number as rd and rj, the execution will trigger an Instruction Non-defined Exception, so mark the above instruction as INSN_BUG type to fix the warning.

objtool/LoongArch: Mark types based on break immediate code

2025-09-18T11:43:36Z

If the break immediate code is 0, it should mark the type as INSN_TRAP. If the break immediate code is 1, it should mark the type as INSN_BUG. While at it, format the code style and add the code comment for nop. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Suggested-by: WANG Rui Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen

objtool/LoongArch: Get table size correctly if LTO is enabled

2025-08-20T14:23:15Z

When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is set, there exist many objtool warnings "sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame". For this special case, the related object file shows that there is no generated relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' for the table jump instruction jirl, thus objtool can not know that what is the actual destination address. It needs to do something on the LLVM side to make sure that there is the relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' if LTO is enabled, but in order to maintain compatibility for the current LLVM compiler, this can be done in the kernel Makefile for now. Ensure it is aware of linker with LTO, '--loongarch-annotate-tablejump' needs to be passed via '-mllvm' to ld.lld. Before doing the above changes, it should handle the special case of the relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' to get the correct table size first, otherwise there are many objtool warnings and errors if LTO is enabled. There are many different rodata for each function if LTO is enabled, it is necessary to enhance get_rodata_table_size_by_table_annotate().

x86/its: FineIBT-paranoid vs ITS

2025-05-09T20:39:36Z

FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check, disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS and thus don't need no stinking retpolines. Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in the first half of a cacheline :-/ So what was the paranoid call sequence: : 0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d 6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d a: 4d 8d 5b lea -0x10(%r11), %r11 e: 75 fd jne d 10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11 13: 90 nop Now becomes: : 0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d 6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11 e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11 Where the paranoid_thunk looks like: 1d: (bad) __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11: 1e: 75 fd jne 1d __x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11: 20: 41 ff eb jmp *%r11 23: cc int3 [ dhansen: remove initialization to false ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Pawan Gupta Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Reviewed-by: Alexandre Chartre

x86/boot: Add a bunch of PIC aliases

2025-05-04T13:59:43Z

Add aliases for all the data objects that the startup code references - this is needed so that this code can be moved into its own confined area where it can only access symbols that have a __pi_ prefix.

objtool: Fix false-positive "ignoring unreachables" warning

2025-04-10T20:55:00Z

There's no need to try to automatically disable unreachable warnings if they've already been manually disabled due to CONFIG_KCOV quirks. This avoids a spurious warning with a KCOV kernel: fs/smb/client/cifs_unicode.o: warning: objtool: cifsConvertToUTF16.part.0+0xce5: ignoring unreachables due to jump table quirk Fixes: eeff7ac61526 ("objtool: Warn when disabling unreachable warnings") Reported-by: kernel test robot Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/5eb28eeb6a724b7d945a961cfdcf8d41e6edf3dc.1744238814.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202504090910.QkvTAR36-lkp@intel.com/

objtool: Split INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH into INSN_SYSCALL and INSN_SYSRET

2025-04-08T07:14:11Z

INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH is ambiguous. It can represent both call semantics (SYSCALL, SYSENTER) and return semantics (SYSRET, IRET, RETS, RETU). Those differ significantly: calls preserve control flow whereas returns terminate it. Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH that almost works by accident: if in a function, keep going; otherwise stop. It should instead be based on the semantics of the underlying instruction. In preparation for improving that, split INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH into INSN_SYCALL and INSN_SYSRET. No functional change.
