scripts/kallsyms: fix definitely-lost memory leak

2020-01-04T18:13:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 21915eca088dc271c970e8351290e83d938114ac ]

build_initial_tok_table() overwrites unused sym_entry to shrink the
table size. Before the entry is overwritten, table[i].sym must be freed
since it is malloc'ed data.

This fixes the 'definitely lost' report from valgrind. I ran valgrind
against x86_64_defconfig of v5.4-rc8 kernel, and here is the summary:

[Before the fix]

  LEAK SUMMARY:
     definitely lost: 53,184 bytes in 2,874 blocks

[After the fix]

  LEAK SUMMARY:
     definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

kallsyms: exclude kasan local symbols on s390

2019-07-31T05:27:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 33177f01ca3fe550146bb9001bec2fd806b2f40c ]

gcc asan instrumentation emits the following sequence to store frame pc
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE:
debug/vsprintf.s:
        .section        .data.rel.ro.local,"aw"
        .align  8
.LC3:
        .quad   .LASANPC4826@GOTOFF
.text
        .align  8
        .type   number, @function
number:
.LASANPC4826:

and in case reloc is issued for LASANPC label it also gets into .symtab
with the same address as actual function symbol:
$ nm -n vmlinux | grep 0000000001397150
0000000001397150 t .LASANPC4826
0000000001397150 t number

In the end kernel backtraces are almost unreadable:
[  143.748476] Call Trace:

Since LASANPC labels are not even unique and get into .symtab only due
to relocs filter them out in kallsyms.

kallsyms: remove symbol prefix support

2018-05-17T13:43:36+00:00

CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX was selected by BLACKFIN, METAG.
They were removed by commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"),
commit bb6fb6dfcc17 ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"), respectively.

No more architecture enables CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX,
hence the --symbol-prefix option is unnecessary.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were
  tied up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main
  pieces are:

   - Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs
     that don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system

   - Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to
     elide instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out
     instructions

   - Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal
     codegen by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools,
     which could potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are
     mapped as executable

   - Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is
     well-formed and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated
     and made consistent between different fault types

   - More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric
     Biederman

   - Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718

   - Some small ACPI IORT updates and cleanups from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - Misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

scripts/kallsyms: filter arm64's __efistub_ symbols

2018-03-06T18:52:33+00:00

On arm64, the EFI stub and the kernel proper are essentially the same
binary, although the EFI stub executes at a different virtual address
as the kernel. For this reason, the EFI stub is restricted in the
symbols it can link to, which is ensured by prefixing all EFI stub
symbols with __efistub_ (and emitting __efistub_ prefixed aliases for
routines that may be shared between the core kernel and the stub)

These symbols are leaking into kallsyms, polluting the namespace, so
let's filter them explicitly.

scripts/kallsyms.c: ignore symbol type 'n'

2017-10-13T23:18:32+00:00

gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with
'-frecord-gcc-switches'.  In most cases, those symbols are reported with
nm as

	000000000000000e n $d

and with objdump as

	0000000000000000 l    d  .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
	000000000000000e l       .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 $d

Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored.
However, if "--prefix-symbols=" is configured as well, the
situation is different.  For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are
built with

	'--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'.

In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported
by nm as:

	000000000000000e n __efistub_$d
and by objdump as:
	0000000000000000 l    d  .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
	000000000000000e l       .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 __efistub_$d

Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address
calculation.  This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which
in turn causes kallsyms to abort with

    kallsyms failure:
	relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode

The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI
enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.

Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug
symbols.

kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs

2017-02-03T16:28:25+00:00

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit
vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel
where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs
being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at
runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)

For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following:

 - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS

 - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols
   as references into the .rodata section

 - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols
   by the section index (SHN_ABS)

 - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix
