objtool: Add Function to get the name of a CPU feature

2025-11-24T19:39:47+00:00

Add a function to get the name of a CPU feature. The function is architecture dependent and currently only implemented for x86. The feature names are automatically generated from the cpufeatures.h include file.

objtool: Improve register reporting during function validation

2025-11-21T14:30:10+00:00

When tracing function validation, instruction state changes can report changes involving registers. These registers are reported with the name "r" (e.g. "r3"). Print the CPU specific register name instead of a generic name (e.g. print "rbx" instead of "r3" on x86).

objtool: Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump

2025-11-21T14:30:07+00:00

objtool executes the objdump command to disassemble code. Use libopcodes instead to have more control about the disassembly scope and output. If libopcodes is not present then objtool is built without disassembly support.

objtool: Fix x86 addend calculation

2025-10-14T21:45:24+00:00

On x86, arch_dest_reloc_offset() hardcodes the addend adjustment to four, but the actual adjustment depends on the relocation type. Fix that. Acked-by: Petr Mladek Tested-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

objtool: Handle different entry size of rodata

2025-03-12T22:43:38+00:00

In the most cases, the entry size of rodata is 8 bytes because the relocation type is 64 bit. There are also 32 bit relocation types, the entry size of rodata should be 4 bytes in this case. Add an arch-specific function arch_reloc_size() to assign the entry size of rodata for x86, powerpc and LoongArch.

objtool/powerpc: Add support for decoding all types of uncond branches

2025-02-26T15:39:43+00:00

Add support for 'bla' instruction. This is done by 'flagging' the address as an absolute address so that arch_jump_destination() can calculate it as expected. Because code is _always_ 4 bytes aligned, use bit 30 as flag. Also add support for 'b' and 'ba' instructions. Objtool call them jumps. And make sure the special 'bl .+4' used by clang in relocatable code is not seen as an 'unannotated intra-function call'. clang should use the special 'bcl 20,31,.+4' form like gcc but for the time being it does not so lets work around that.

objtool: Allow arch code to discover jump table size

2024-12-02T11:24:29+00:00

In preparation for adding support for annotated jump tables, where ELF relocations and symbols are used to describe the locations of jump tables in the executable, refactor the jump table discovery logic so the table size can be returned from arch_find_switch_table().
