objtool: Support repeated uses of the same C jump table

2019-07-18T19:01:09Z

This fixes objtool for both a GCC issue and a Clang issue: 1) GCC issue: kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: ___bpf_prog_run()+0x8d5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame With CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, GCC is doing the following optimization in ___bpf_prog_run(). Before: select_insn: jmp *jumptable(,%rax,8) ... ALU64_ADD_X: ... jmp select_insn ALU_ADD_X: ... jmp select_insn After: select_insn: jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8) ... ALU64_ADD_X: ... jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8) ALU_ADD_X: ... jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8) This confuses objtool. It has never seen multiple indirect jump sites which use the same jump table. For GCC switch tables, the only way of detecting the size of a table is by continuing to scan for more tables. The size of the previous table can only be determined after another switch table is found, or when the scan reaches the end of the function. That logic was reused for C jump tables, and was based on the assumption that each jump table only has a single jump site. The above optimization breaks that assumption. 2) Clang issue: drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.o: warning: objtool: sisusb_write_mem_bulk()+0x588: can't find switch jump table With clang 9, code can be generated where a function contains two indirect jump instructions which use the same switch table. The fix is the same for both issues: split the jump table parsing into two passes. In the first pass, locate the heads of all switch tables for the function and mark their locations. In the second pass, parse the switch tables and add them.

objtool: Refactor jump table code

2019-07-18T19:01:09Z

Now that C jump tables are supported, call them "jump tables" instead of "switch tables". Also rename some other variables, add comments, and simplify the code flow a bit.

objtool: Rename elf_open() to prevent conflict with libelf from elftoolchain

2019-07-17T22:50:14Z

The elftoolchain version of libelf has a function named elf_open(). The function name isn't quite accurate anyway, since it also reads all the ELF data. Rename it to elf_read(), which is more accurate.

objtool: Add UACCESS validation

2019-04-03T09:02:24Z

It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible; furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be ran with UACCESS enabled. Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__() and __preempt_schedule() calls. Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction; therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers are not normal functions).

objtool: Handle function aliases

2019-04-03T09:02:24Z

Function aliases result in different symbols for the same set of instructions; track a canonical symbol so there is a unique point of access. This again prepares the way for function attributes. And in particular the need for aliases comes from how KASAN uses them.

objtool: Support per-function rodata sections

2018-09-08T10:33:01Z

Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple .rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections'. Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled using those flags. The fix is comprised of three parts: 1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for easier checking later. 2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section. 3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections, rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section. The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen. Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions

2018-05-14T08:20:53Z

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 kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_addrm_files()+0x290: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_apply_control_enable()+0x25b: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: rebind_subsystems()+0x325: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame Reported-and-tested-by: damian Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: David Laight Cc: Greg KH Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/0965e7fcfc5f31a276f0c7f298ff770c19b68706.1525923412.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation

2017-07-18T08:57:43Z

Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder to use. Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder. See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.

objtool: Implement stack validation 2.0

2017-06-30T08:19:19Z

This is a major rewrite of objtool. Instead of only tracking frame pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including all register saves/restores. In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the way for undwarf generation.
