commit 0afd0d9e0e7879d666c1df2fa1bea4d8716909fe upstream.

Objtool has some crude logic for detecting static "noreturn" functions
(aka "dead ends").  This is necessary for being able to correctly follow
GCC code flow when such functions are called.

It's remotely possible for two functions to call each other via sibling
calls.  If they don't have RET instructions, objtool's noreturn
detection logic goes into a recursive loop:

  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: return_hosed_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)
  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: deliver_recv_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)

Instead of reporting an error in this case, consider the functions to be
non-dead-ends.

<title>objtool: Detect RIP-relative switch table references, part 2</title>

commit 7dec80ccbe310fb7e225bf21c48c672bb780ce7b upstream.

With the following commit:

  fd35c88b7417 ("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:

  6f5ec2993b1f ("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.

commit 6f5ec2993b1f39aed12fa6fd56e8dc2272ee8a33 upstream.

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

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_suspend()+0xbb8: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_resume()+0xcc5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

commit fd35c88b74170d9335530d9abf271d5d73eb5401 upstream.

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.

This fixes the following warnings with GCC 8:

  drivers/block/virtio_blk.o: warning: objtool: virtio_queue_rq()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+72
  net/ipv6/icmp.o: warning: objtool: icmpv6_rcv()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+64

commit 13810435b9a7014fb92eb715f77da488f3b65b99 upstream.

GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in
.text.unlikely.  Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as
extensions of the original functions.

This fixes a bunch of warnings like:

  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: parse_cgroup_root_flags()+0x33: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_addrm_files()+0x290: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_apply_control_enable()+0x25b: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: rebind_subsystems()+0x325: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

commit 13810435b9a7014fb92eb715f77da488f3b65b99 upstream.

GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in
.text.unlikely.  Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as
extensions of the original functions.

This fixes a bunch of warnings like:

  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: parse_cgroup_root_flags()+0x33: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_addrm_files()+0x290: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: cgroup_apply_control_enable()+0x25b: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/cgroup/cgroup.o: warning: objtool: rebind_subsystems()+0x325: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

This reverts commit f766148e47d7d3b8a7128cae511971c0f793e38e which is
commit ad46e48c65fa1f204fa29eaff1b91174d314a94b upstream.

It breaks the build.  Turns out we don't test perf on stable releases,
we need to fix that :(

perf wants matching .h files otherwise it complains during the build
process.  As these files have been modified over the past few 4.14.y
releases, they are out of sync, so fix that problem by properly copying
the respective versions to the tools/ mirror copies.

<title>perf tests: Fix dwarf unwind for stripped binaries</title>

[ Upstream commit fdf7c49c200d1b9909e2204cec5bd68b48605c71 ]

When we strip the perf binary, dwarf unwind test stop
to work. The reason is that strip will remove static
function symbols, which we need to check for unwind.

This change will keep this test working in cases where
the global symbols are put into dynamic symbol table,
which is the case on x86. It still won't work on powerpc.

Making those 5 local functions global, and adding
'test_dwarf_unwind__' to their names.
