The existing UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY annotations happen to be good indicators
of where entry code calls into C code for the first time.  So also use
them to mark the end of the stack for the ORC unwinder.

Use that information to set unwind-&gt;error if the ORC unwinder doesn't
unwind all the way to the end.  This will be needed for enabling
HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE for the ORC unwinder so we can use it with the
livepatch consistency model.

Thanks to Jiri Slaby for teaching the ORCs about the unwind hints.

machine_real_restart() is annotated as '__noreturn", so add it to the
objtool noreturn list.  This fixes the following warning with clang and
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y:

<title>objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions</title>

The kbuild test robot reported the following issue:

  kernel/time/posix-stubs.o: warning: objtool: sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1()+0x0: unreachable instruction

This file creates symbol aliases for the sys_ni_posix_timers() function.
So there are multiple ELF function symbols for the same function:

  23: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 __x64_sys_timer_create
  24: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 sys_ni_posix_timers
  25: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 __ia32_sys_timer_create
  26: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 __x64_sys_timer_gettime

Here's the corresponding cold subfunction:

  11: 0000000000000000     45 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT        6 sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1

When analyzing overlapping functions, objtool only looks at the first
one in the symbol list.  The rest of the functions are basically ignored
because they point to instructions which have already been analyzed.

So in this case it analyzes the __x64_sys_timer_create() function, but
then it fails to recognize that its cold subfunction is
sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1(), because the names are different.

Make the subfunction detection a little smarter by associating each
subfunction with the first function which jumps to it, since that's the
one which will be analyzed.

Unfortunately we still have to leave the original subfunction detection
code in place, thanks to GCC switch tables.  (See the comment for more
details.)

<title>objtool: Detect RIP-relative switch table references, part 2</title>

<content type='text'>
With the following commit:

  fd35c88b7417 ("objtool: Support GCC 8 switch tables")

I added a "can't find switch jump table" warning, to stop covering up
silent failures if add_switch_table() can't find anything.

That warning found yet another bug in the objtool switch table detection
logic.  For cases 1 and 2 (as described in the comments of
find_switch_table()), the find_symbol_containing() check doesn't adjust
the offset for RIP-relative switch jumps.

Incidentally, this bug was already fixed for case 3 with:

  6f5ec2993b1f ("objtool: Detect RIP-relative switch table references")

However, that commit missed the fix for cases 1 and 2.

The different cases are now starting to look more and more alike.  So
fix the bug by consolidating them into a single case, by checking the
original dynamic jump instruction in the case 3 loop.

This also simplifies the code and makes it more robust against future
switch table detection issues -- of which I'm sure there will be many...

Switch table detection has been the most fragile area of objtool, by
far.  I long for the day when we'll have a GCC plugin for annotating
switch tables.  Linus asked me to delay such a plugin due to the
flakiness of the plugin infrastructure in older versions of GCC, so this
rickety code is what we're stuck with for now.  At least the code is now
a little simpler than it was.

Typically a switch table can be found by detecting a .rodata access
followed an indirect jump:

    1969:	4a 8b 0c e5 00 00 00 	mov    0x0(,%r12,8),%rcx
    1970:	00
			196d: R_X86_64_32S	.rodata+0x438
    1971:	e9 00 00 00 00       	jmpq   1976 &lt;dispc_runtime_suspend+0xb6a&gt;
			1972: R_X86_64_PC32	__x86_indirect_thunk_rcx-0x4

Randy Dunlap reported a case (seen with GCC 4.8) where the .rodata
access uses RIP-relative addressing:

    19bd:	48 8b 3d 00 00 00 00 	mov    0x0(%rip),%rdi        # 19c4 &lt;dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbb8&gt;
			19c0: R_X86_64_PC32	.rodata+0x45c
    19c4:	e9 00 00 00 00       	jmpq   19c9 &lt;dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbbd&gt;
			19c5: R_X86_64_PC32	__x86_indirect_thunk_rdi-0x4

In this case the relocation addend needs to be adjusted accordingly in
order to find the location of the switch table.

The fix is for case 3 (as described in the comments), but also make the
existing case 1 &amp; 2 checks more precise by only adjusting the addend for
R_X86_64_PC32 relocations.

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_suspend()+0xbb8: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_resume()+0xcc5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

<content type='text'>
With GCC 8, some issues were found with the objtool switch table
detection.

1) In the .rodata section, immediately after the switch table, there can
   be another object which contains a pointer to the function which had
   the switch statement.  In this case objtool wrongly considers the
   function pointer to be part of the switch table.  Fix it by:

   a) making sure there are no pointers to the beginning of the
      function; and

   b) making sure there are no gaps in the switch table.

   Only the former was needed, the latter adds additional protection for
   future optimizations.

2) In find_switch_table(), case 1 and case 2 are missing the check to
   ensure that the .rodata switch table data is anonymous, i.e. that it
   isn't already associated with an ELF symbol.  Fix it by adding the
   same find_symbol_containing() check which is used for case 3.

This fixes the following warnings with GCC 8:

  drivers/block/virtio_blk.o: warning: objtool: virtio_queue_rq()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+72
  net/ipv6/icmp.o: warning: objtool: icmpv6_rcv()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+64

GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in
.text.unlikely.  Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as
extensions of the original functions.

This fixes a bunch of warnings like:

  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: parse_cgroup_root_flags()+0x33: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

<title>objtool: Fix "noreturn" detection for recursive sibling calls</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0afd0d9e0e7879d666c1df2fa1bea4d8716909fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Objtool has some crude logic for detecting static "noreturn" functions
(aka "dead ends").  This is necessary for being able to correctly follow
GCC code flow when such functions are called.

It's remotely possible for two functions to call each other via sibling
calls.  If they don't have RET instructions, objtool's noreturn
detection logic goes into a recursive loop:

  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: return_hosed_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)
  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: deliver_recv_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)

Instead of reporting an error in this case, consider the functions to be
non-dead-ends.

<content type='text'>
Since the ORC unwinder was made the default on x86_64, Clang-built
defconfig kernels have triggered some new objtool warnings:

  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gpu_error.o: warning: objtool: i915_error_printf()+0x6c: return with modified stack frame
  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.o: warning: objtool: pipe_config_err()+0xa6: return with modified stack frame

The problem is that objtool has never seen clang-built binaries before.

Shockingly enough, objtool is apparently able to follow the code flow
mostly fine, except for one instruction sequence.  Instead of a LEAVE
instruction, clang restores RSP and RBP the long way:

   67c:   48 89 ec                mov    %rbp,%rsp
   67f:   5d                      pop    %rbp

Teach objtool about this new code sequence.
