Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects the result of find_symbol_by_name(). In the case where a ".cold" function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a segfault in add_switch_table(). The effects of this bug are only visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS. Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place. Signed-off-by:

Starting with GCC 8, a lot of unlikely code was moved out of line to "cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely. For example, the unlikely bits of: irq_do_set_affinity() are moved out to the following subfunction: irq_do_set_affinity.cold.49() Starting with GCC 9, the numbered suffix has been removed. So in the above example, the cold subfunction is instead: irq_do_set_affinity.cold() Tweak the objtool subfunction detection logic so that it detects both GCC 8 and GCC 9 naming schemes. Reported-by:

Similar to the arm64 case, 64-bit x86 can benefit from using relative references rather than absolute ones when emitting struct jump_entry instances. Not only does this reduce the memory footprint of the entries themselves by 33%, it also removes the need for carrying relocation metadata on relocatable builds (i.e., for KASLR) which saves a fair chunk of .init space as well (although the savings are not as dramatic as on arm64) Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

Since the following commit: cd77849a ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions") ... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions', objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop. That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text instead of .text.unlikely. But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside the parent (nmi_panic). That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an infinite loop in next_insn_same_func(). Here's Allan's description of the loop: "Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528 after reaching 0x534." Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the functions no longer overlap. Reported-and-analyzed-by:

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.)

With the following commit: fd35c88b ("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: 6f5ec299 ("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. Reported-by:

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 <dispc_runtime_suspend+0xb6a> 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 <dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbb8> 19c0: R_X86_64_PC32 .rodata+0x45c 19c4: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 19c9 <dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbbd> 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 & 2 checks more precise by only adjusting the addend for R_X86_64_PC32 relocations.

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.

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but already the objtool build broke with orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’: orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) { Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and -DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS. Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file: * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes: thus a call such as: foo := $(shell echo '#') is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example: foo := $(shell echo '\#') Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable: C := \# foo := $(shell echo '$C') This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason. To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable. This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound) rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the new make.

Peter Zijlstra's patch for converting WARN() to use UD2 triggered a bunch of false "unreachable instruction" warnings, which then triggered a seg fault in ignore_unreachable_insn(). The seg fault happened when it tried to dereference a NULL 'insn->func' pointer. Thanks to static_cpu_has(), some functions can jump to a non-function area in the .altinstr_aux section. That breaks ignore_unreachable_insn()'s assumption that it's always inside the original function. Make sure ignore_unreachable_insn() only follows jumps within the current function. Reported-by:

Linus reported that GCC-7.3 generated a switch-table construct that confused objtool. It turns out that, in particular due to KASAN, it is possible to have unrelated .rodata usage in between the .rodata setup for the switch-table and the following indirect jump. The simple linear reverse search from the indirect jump would hit upon the KASAN .rodata usage first and fail to find a switch_table, resulting in a spurious 'sibling call with modified stack frame' warning. Fix this by creating a 'jump-stack' which we can 'unwind' during reversal, thereby skipping over much of the in-between code. This is not fool proof by any means, but is sufficient to make the known cases work. Future work would be to construct more comprehensive flow analysis code. Reported-and-tested-by:

Getting objtool to understand retpolines is going to be a bit of a challenge. For now, take advantage of the fact that retpolines are patched in with alternatives. Just read the original (sane) non-alternative instruction, and ignore the patched-in retpoline. This allows objtool to understand the control flow *around* the retpoline, even if it can't yet follow what's inside. This means the ORC unwinder will fail to unwind from inside a retpoline, but will work fine otherwise. Signed-off-by:

A direct jump to a retpoline thunk is really an indirect jump in disguise. Change the objtool instruction type accordingly. Objtool needs to know where indirect branches are so it can detect switch statement jump tables. This fixes a bunch of warnings with CONFIG_RETPOLINE like: arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o: warning: objtool: nhmex_rbox_msr_enable_event()+0x44: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: copy_siginfo_to_user()+0x91: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame ...

Fix a seg fault which happens when an input file provided to 'objtool orc generate' doesn't have a '.shstrtab' section (for instance, object files produced by clang don't have this section). Signed-off-by:
