Commit:

  aaa8736370db ("x86, relocs: Ignore relocations in .notes section")

... only started ignoring the .notes sections in print_absolute_relocs(),
but the same logic should also by applied in walk_relocs() to avoid
such relocations.

[ mingo: Fixed various typos in the changelog, removed extra curly braces from the code. ]

[ Upstream commit aaa8736370db1a78f0e8434344a484f9fd20be3b ]

When building with CONFIG_XEN_PV=y, .text symbols are emitted into
the .notes section so that Xen can find the "startup_xen" entry point.
This information is used prior to booting the kernel, so relocations
are not useful. In fact, performing relocations against the .notes
section means that the KASLR base is exposed since /sys/kernel/notes
is world-readable.

To avoid leaking the KASLR base without breaking unprivileged tools that
are expecting to read /sys/kernel/notes, skip performing relocations in
the .notes section. The values readable in .notes are then identical to
those found in System.map.

<title>x86/build: Treat R_386_PLT32 relocation as R_386_PC32</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b3d0f1c3a671916e95dc56f6cc0134bfb5c7b7a2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bb73d07148c405c293e576b40af37737faf23a6a upstream.

This is similar to commit

  b21ebf2fb4cd ("x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32")

but for i386. As far as the kernel is concerned, R_386_PLT32 can be
treated the same as R_386_PC32.

R_386_PLT32/R_X86_64_PLT32 are PC-relative relocation types which
can only be used by branches. If the referenced symbol is defined
externally, a PLT will be used.

R_386_PC32/R_X86_64_PC32 are PC-relative relocation types which can be
used by address taking operations and branches. If the referenced symbol
is defined externally, a copy relocation/canonical PLT entry will be
created in the executable.

On x86-64, there is no PIC vs non-PIC PLT distinction and an
R_X86_64_PLT32 relocation is produced for both `call/jmp foo` and
`call/jmp foo@PLT` with newer (2018) GNU as/LLVM integrated assembler.
This avoids canonical PLT entries (st_shndx=0, st_value!=0).

On i386, there are 2 types of PLTs, PIC and non-PIC. Currently,
the GCC/GNU as convention is to use R_386_PC32 for non-PIC PLT and
R_386_PLT32 for PIC PLT. Copy relocations/canonical PLT entries
are possible ABI issues but GCC/GNU as will likely keep the status
quo because (1) the ABI is legacy (2) the change will drop a GNU
ld diagnostic for non-default visibility ifunc in shared objects.

clang-12 -fno-pic (since [1]) can emit R_386_PLT32 for compiler
generated function declarations, because preventing canonical PLT
entries is weighed over the rare ifunc diagnostic.

<title>x86/insn: Make inat-tables.c suitable for pre-decompression code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:05a2ae7c033ee30f25fbed3ceed549a5cac398a9</id>
<content type='text'>
The inat-tables.c file has some arrays in it that contain pointers to
other arrays. These pointers need to be relocated when the kernel
image is moved to a different location.

The pre-decompression boot-code has no support for applying ELF
relocations, so initialize these arrays at runtime in the
pre-decompression code to make sure all pointers are correctly
initialized.

<title>kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5f2fb52fac15a8a8e10ce020dd532504a8abfc4e</id>
<content type='text'>
In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

  always       -&gt;  always-y
  hostprogs-y  -&gt;  hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

  always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
  always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
      ...
  hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

gawk 5.0.1 generates the following regexp warnings:

  GEN      /home/sasha/torvalds/tools/objtool/arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
  awk: ../arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk:260: warning: regexp escape sequence `\:' is not a known regexp operator
  awk: ../arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk:350: (FILENAME=../arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt FNR=41) warning: regexp escape sequence `\&amp;' is  not a known regexp operator

Ealier versions of gawk are not known to generate these warnings. The
gawk manual referenced below does not list characters ':' and '&amp;' as
needing escaping, so 'unescape' them. See

  https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Escape-Sequences.html

for more info.

Running diff on the output generated by the script before and after
applying the patch reported no differences.
