commit e81e072443 upstream.
When compiling the kernel with AS=clang, objtool produces a lot of
warnings:
warning: objtool: missing symbol for section .text
warning: objtool: missing symbol for section .init.text
warning: objtool: missing symbol for section .ref.text
It then fails to generate the ORC table.
The problem is that objtool assumes text section symbols always exist.
But the Clang assembler is aggressive about removing them.
When generating relocations for the ORC table, objtool always tries to
reference instructions by their section symbol offset. If the section
symbol doesn't exist, it bails.
Do a fallback: when a section symbol isn't available, reference a
function symbol instead.

[ Upstream commit db6c6a0df8 ]
When a function is annotated with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD, objtool
doesn't validate its code paths. It also skips sibling call detection
within the function.
But sibling call detection is actually needed for the case where the
ignored function doesn't have any return instructions. Otherwise
objtool naively marks the function as implicit static noreturn, which
affects the reachability of its callers, resulting in "unreachable
instruction" warnings.
Fix it by just enabling sibling call detection for ignored functions.
The 'insn->ignore' check in add_jump_destinations() is no longer needed
after
e6da956795 ("objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps").
Fixes the following warning:
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.o: warning: objtool: vmx_handle_exit_irqoff()+0x142: unreachable instruction
which triggers on an allmodconfig with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL unset.

commit a0d1c951ef upstream.
As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.
Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.
Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.
We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43
Some items discussed, but not adopted:
- LLVM_DIR
When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.
CC = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
LD = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
...
However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
this.
- LLVM_SUFFIX
Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.
CC = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
LD = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
...
will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
/usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

commit d8dd25a461 upstream.
When the current frame address (CFA) is stored on the stack (i.e.,
cfa->base == CFI_SP_INDIRECT), objtool neglects to adjust the stack
offset when there are subsequent pushes or pops. This results in bad
ORC data at the end of the ENTER_IRQ_STACK macro, when it puts the
previous stack pointer on the stack and does a subsequent push.
This fixes the following unwinder warning:

Historically, the relocation symbols for ORC entries have only been

However, the Clang assembler is aggressive about stripping section

CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP causes GCC to emit a UD2 whenever it encounters an
unreachable code path. This includes __builtin_unreachable(). Because
the BUG() macro uses __builtin_unreachable() after it emits its own UD2,
this results in a double UD2. In this case objtool rightfully detects
that the second UD2 is unreachable:

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.
The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.
Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.

A clang build reported an (obvious) double CLAC while a GCC build did not;
it turns out that objtool only re-visits instructions if the first visit
was with AC=0. If OTOH the first visit was with AC=1, it completely ignores
any subsequent visit, even when it has AC=0.
Fix this by using a visited mask instead of a boolean, and (explicitly)
mark the AC state.

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.

If 'insn->func' is NULL, objtool skips some important checks, including
sibling call validation. So if some .fixup code does an invalid sibling
call, objtool ignores it.
Treat all code branches (including alts) as part of the original
function by keeping track of the original func value from
validate_functions().
This improves the usefulness of some clang function fallthrough
warnings, and exposes some additional kernel bugs in the process.

Objtool doesn't know how to read C jump tables, so it has to whitelist
functions which use them, causing missing ORC unwinder data for such
functions, e.g. ___bpf_prog_run().
C jump tables are very similar to GCC switch jump tables, which objtool
already knows how to read. So adding support for C jump tables is easy.
It just needs to be able to find the tables and distinguish them from
other data.
To allow the jump tables to be found, create an __annotate_jump_table
macro which can be used to annotate them.
The annotation is done by placing the jump table in an
.rodata..c_jump_table section. The '.rodata' prefix ensures that the data
will be placed in the rodata section by the vmlinux linker script. The
double periods are part of an existing convention which distinguishes
kernel sections from GCC sections.

When a function falls through to the next function due to a compiler
bug, objtool prints some obscure warnings. For example:
drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x95: return with modified stack frame
drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+32 cfa2=7+8
Instead it should be printing:
drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_supply_is_couple() falls through to next function regulator_count_voltages()
This used to work, but was broken by the following commit:
13810435b9 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")
The padding nops at the end of a function aren't actually part of the
function, as defined by the symbol table. So the 'func' variable in
validate_branch() is getting cleared to NULL when a padding nop is
encountered, breaking the fallthrough detection.
If the current instruction doesn't have a function associated with it,
just consider it to be part of the previously detected function by not
overwriting the previous value of 'func'.

The ignore flag is set on fake jumps in order to keep
add_jump_destinations() from setting their jump_dest, since it already
got set when the fake jump was created.
But using the ignore flag is a bit of a hack. It's normally used to
skip validation of an instruction, which doesn't really make sense for
fake jumps.
Also, after the next patch, using the ignore flag for fake jumps can
trigger a false "why am I validating an ignored function?" warning.
Instead just add an explicit check in add_jump_destinations() to skip
fake jumps.

Convert livepatch documentation to ReST format. The changes
are mostly trivial, as the documents are already on a good
shape. Just a few markup changes are needed for Sphinx to
properly parse the docs.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- The in-file TOC becomes a comment, in order to skip it from the
output, as Sphinx already generates an index there.
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This is a series from Peter Zijlstra that adds x86 build-time uaccess
validation of SMAP to objtool, which will detect and warn about the
following uaccess API usage bugs and weirdnesses:
- call to %s() with UACCESS enabled
- return with UACCESS enabled
- return with UACCESS disabled from a UACCESS-safe function
- recursive UACCESS enable
- redundant UACCESS disable
- UACCESS-safe disables UACCESS
As it turns out not leaking uaccess permissions outside the intended
uaccess functionality is hard when the interfaces are complex and when
such bugs are mostly dormant.
As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one
high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the
checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted
are:
- call to %s() with DF set
- return with DF set
- return with modified stack frame
- recursive STD
- redundant CLD
It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN
on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.
While all warnings emitted by this new checking facility that got
reported to us were fixed, there might be GCC version dependent
warnings that were not reported yet - which we'll address, should they
trigger.
The warnings are non-fatal build warnings"
