x86/speculation, objtool: Use absolute relocations for annotations

2023-12-20T16:02:06+00:00

commit b8ec60e1186cdcfce41e7db4c827cb107e459002 upstream. .discard.retpoline_safe sections do not have the SHF_ALLOC flag. These sections referencing text sections' STT_SECTION symbols with PC-relative relocations like R_386_PC32 [0] is conceptually not suitable. Newer LLD will report warnings for REL relocations even for relocatable links [1]: ld.lld: warning: vmlinux.a(drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.o):(.discard.retpoline_safe+0x120): has non-ABS relocation R_386_PC32 against symbol '' Switch to absolute relocations instead, which indicate link-time addresses. In a relocatable link, these addresses are also output section offsets, used by checks in tools/objtool/check.c. When linking vmlinux, these .discard.* sections will be discarded, therefore it is not a problem that R_X86_64_32 cannot represent a kernel address. Alternatively, we could set the SHF_ALLOC flag for .discard.* sections, but I think non-SHF_ALLOC for sections to be discarded makes more sense. Note: if we decide to never support REL architectures (e.g. arm, i386), we can utilize R_*_NONE relocations (.reloc ., BFD_RELOC_NONE, sym), making .discard.* sections zero-sized. That said, the section content waste is 4 bytes per entry, much smaller than sizeof(Elf{32,64}_Rel).

x86/srso: Fix unret validation dependencies

2023-11-20T10:58:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit eeb9f34df065f42f0c9195b322ba6df420c9fc92 ] CONFIG_CPU_SRSO isn't dependent on CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY (AMD Retbleed), so the two features are independently configurable. Fix several issues for the (presumably rare) case where CONFIG_CPU_SRSO is enabled but CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY isn't.

x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two

2023-03-23T22:18:58+00:00

Mark reported that the ORC unwinder incorrectly marks an unwind as reliable when the unwind terminates prematurely in the dark corners of return_to_handler() due to lack of information about the next frame. The problem is UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY is used in two different situations: 1) The end of the kernel stack unwind before hitting user entry, boot code, or fork entry 2) A blind spot in ORC coverage where the unwinder has to bail due to lack of information about the next frame The ORC unwinder has no way to tell the difference between the two. When it encounters an undefined stack state with 'end=1', it blindly marks the stack reliable, which can break the livepatch consistency model. Fix it by splitting UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY into UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED and UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK.

x86,objtool: Separate unret validation from unwind hints

2023-03-23T22:18:58+00:00

The ENTRY unwind hint type is serving double duty as both an empty unwind hint and an unret validation annotation. Unret validation is unrelated to unwinding. Separate it out into its own annotation.

x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata

2023-02-11T11:37:51+00:00

Add a 'signal' field which allows unwind hints to specify whether the instruction pointer should be taken literally (like for most interrupts and exceptions) rather than decremented (like for call stack return addresses) when used to find the next ORC entry.
