commit f43b9876e857c739d407bc56df288b0ebe1a9164 upstream.

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will
silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this.

removed the save/restore unwind hints because they were no longer
needed. Now they're going to be needed again so re-add them.

<title>objtool: Add entry UNRET validation</title>

commit a09a6e2399ba0595c3042b3164f3ca68a3cff33e upstream.

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.

Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.

There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

 - UNTRAIN_RET itself
 - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
 - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET

commit 8b946cc38e063f0f7bb67789478c38f6d7d457c9 upstream.

Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.

This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.

Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

Reduces memory consumption (and runtime) for processing an
x86_64-allyesconfig:

Instead of writing complete alternatives, simply provide a list of all

it pleases. Simpler code all-round.

Any one instruction can only ever call a single function, therefore
insn-&gt;mcount_loc_node is superfluous and can use insn-&gt;call_node.

This shrinks struct instruction, which is by far the most numerous
structure objtool creates.

commit 22682a07acc308ef78681572e19502ce8893c4d4 upstream.

appreciate cross building from ILP32 hosts, where 'int' == 'long' and
the issue persists.

As such, use s64/int64_t/Elf64_Sxword for this field and suffer the
pain that is ISO C99 printf formats for it.

[ Upstream commit 1cc1e4c8aab4213bd4e6353dec2620476a233d6d ]

Teach objtool to validate the straight-line-speculation constraints:

 - speculation trap after indirect calls
 - speculation trap after RET

Notable: when an instruction is annotated RETPOLINE_SAFE, indicating
  speculation isn't a problem, also don't care about sls for that
  instruction.
