objtool: Don't fail on missing symbol table

2021-01-21T21:49:58Z

Thanks to a recent binutils change which doesn't generate unused symbols, it's now possible for thunk_64.o be completely empty without CONFIG_PREEMPTION: no text, no data, no symbols. We could edit the Makefile to only build that file when CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, but that will likely create confusion if/when the thunks end up getting used by some other code again. Just ignore it and move on.

objtool: Don't fail the kernel build on fatal errors

2021-01-21T21:49:39Z

This is basically a revert of commit 644592d32837 ("objtool: Fail the kernel build on fatal errors"). That change turned out to be more trouble than it's worth. Failing the build is an extreme measure which sometimes gets too much attention and blocks CI build testing. These fatal-type warnings aren't yet as rare as we'd hope, due to the ever-increasing matrix of supported toolchains/plugins and their fast-changing nature as of late. Also, there are more people (and bots) looking for objtool warnings than ever before, so even non-fatal warnings aren't likely to be ignored for long.

objtool: Don't add empty symbols to the rbtree

2021-01-13T22:56:37Z

Building with the Clang assembler shows the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at offset 0x16 The Clang assembler strips section symbols. That ends up giving objtool's find_func_containing() much more test coverage than normal. Turns out, find_func_containing() doesn't work so well for overlapping symbols: 2: 000000000000000e 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 fgraph_trace 3: 000000000000000f 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 trace 4: 0000000000000000 165 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 __fentry__ 5: 000000000000000e 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 ftrace_stub The zero-length NOTYPE symbols are inside __fentry__(), confusing the rbtree search for any __fentry__() offset coming after a NOTYPE. Try to avoid this problem by not adding zero-length symbols to the rbtree. They're rare and aren't needed in the rbtree anyway. One caveat, this actually might not end up being the right fix. Non-empty overlapping symbols, if they exist, could have the same problem. But that would need bigger changes, let's see if we can get away with the easy fix for now.

objtool: Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols

2020-12-16T13:35:46Z

The Clang assembler likes to strip section symbols, which means objtool can't reference some text code by its section. This confuses objtool greatly, causing it to seg fault. The fix is similar to what was done before, for ORC reloc generation: e81e07244325 ("objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols in ORC generation") Factor out that code into a common helper and use it for static call reloc generation as well.

Pull static call support from Ingo Molnar: "This introduces static_call(), which is the idea of static_branch() applied to indirect function calls. Remove a data load (indirection) by modifying the text. They give the flexibility of function pointers, but with better performance. (This is especially important for cases where retpolines would otherwise be used, as retpolines can be pretty slow.) API overview: DECLARE_STATIC_CALL(name, func); DEFINE_STATIC_CALL(name, func); DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL(name, typename); static_call(name)(args...); static_call_cond(name)(args...); static_call_update(name, func); x86 is supported via text patching, otherwise basic indirect calls are used, with function pointers. There's a second variant using inline code patching, inspired by jump-labels, implemented on x86 as well. The new APIs are utilized in the x86 perf code, a heavy user of function pointers, where static calls speed up the PMU handler by 4.2% (!). The generic implementation is not really excercised on other architectures, outside of the trivial test_static_call_init() self-test" * tag 'core-static_call-2020-10-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (21 commits) static_call: Fix return type of static_call_init tracepoint: Fix out of sync data passing by static caller tracepoint: Fix overly long tracepoint names x86/perf, static_call: Optimize x86_pmu methods tracepoint: Optimize using static_call() static_call: Allow early init static_call: Add some validation static_call: Handle tail-calls static_call: Add static_call_cond() x86/alternatives: Teach text_poke_bp() to emulate RET static_call: Add simple self-test for static calls x86/static_call: Add inline static call implementation for x86-64 x86/static_call: Add out-of-line static call implementation static_call: Avoid kprobes on inline static_call()s static_call: Add inline static call infrastructure static_call: Add basic static call infrastructure compiler.h: Make __ADDRESSABLE() symbol truly unique jump_label,module: Fix module lifetime for __jump_label_mod_text_reserved() module: Properly propagate MODULE_STATE_COMING failure module: Fix up module_notifier return values ...

The rationale is outlined in commit 224ec489d3cd ("lockdep/ Documention: Recursive read lock detection reasoning") The main deadlock pattern we want to detect is: TASK A: TASK B: read_lock(X); write_lock(X); read_lock_2(X); - Add "latch sequence counters" (seqcount_latch_t): A sequence counter variant where the counter even/odd value is used to switch between two copies of protected data. This allows the read path, typically NMIs, to safely interrupt the write side critical section.
