objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps

2019-06-15T09:52:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit e6da9567959e164f82bc81967e0d5b10dee870b4 ]

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.

objtool: Allow AR to be overridden with HOSTAR

2019-05-25T16:16:39+00:00

commit 8ea58f1e8b11cca3087b294779bf5959bf89cc10 upstream.

Currently, this Makefile hardcodes GNU ar, meaning that if it is not
available, there is no way to supply a different one and the build will
fail.

  $ make AR=llvm-ar CC=clang LD=ld.lld HOSTAR=llvm-ar HOSTCC=clang \
         HOSTLD=ld.lld HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld defconfig modules_prepare
  ...
    AR       /out/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a
  /bin/sh: 1: ar: not found
  ...

Follow the logic of HOST{CC,LD} and allow the user to specify a
different ar tool via HOSTAR (which is used elsewhere in other
tools/ Makefiles).

objtool: Fix function fallthrough detection

2019-05-22T05:39:39+00:00

commit e6f393bc939d566ce3def71232d8013de9aaadde upstream.

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:

  13810435b9a7 ("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'.

objtool: Move objtool_file struct off the stack

2019-03-21T11:02:19+00:00

Objtool uses over 512k of stack, thanks to the hash table embedded in
the objtool_file struct.  This causes an unnecessarily large stack
allocation and breaks users with low stack limits.

Move the struct off the stack.

objtool: Fix segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections

2018-11-20T17:59:00+00:00

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.

objtool: Fix double-free in .cold detection error path

2018-11-20T17:59:00+00:00

If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing
with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it
from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in
elf_close(). Fix it by just returning an error, leaving cleanup to
elf_close().

objtool: Support GCC 9 cold subfunction naming scheme

2018-11-01T08:55:38+00:00

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.
