objtool: Use "action" in error message to be consistent with help

2024-07-03T06:40:24+00:00

The help message mentions the main options as "actions", which is different from the optional "options". But the check error messages outputs "option" or "command" for referring to actions. Make the error messages consistent with help. Signed-off-by: Siddh Raman Pant Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

objtool: Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions

2023-05-16T13:31:51+00:00

When a warning is associated with a function, add an option to disassemble that function. This makes it easier for reporters to submit the information needed to diagnose objtool warnings.

Merge tag 'powerpc-6.2-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details - Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations - Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU - Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2 ABI - Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S - Many other small features and fixes Thanks to Aboorva Devarajan, Angel Iglesias, Benjamin Gray, Bjorn Helgaas, Bo Liu, Chen Lifu, Christoph Hellwig, Christophe JAILLET, Christophe Leroy, Christopher M.

objtool: Add --mnop as an option to --mcount

2022-11-18T08:00:16+00:00

Some architectures (powerpc) may not support ftrace locations being nop'ed out at build time. Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_OBJTOOL_NOP_MCOUNT for objtool, as a means for architectures to enable nop'ing of ftrace locations. Add --mnop as an option to objtool --mcount, to indicate support for the same. Also, make sure that --mnop can be passed as an option to objtool only when --mcount is passed. Tested-by: Naveen N.

objtool: Add --cfi to generate the .cfi_sites section

2022-11-01T12:44:10+00:00

Add the location of all __cfi_##name symbols (as generated by kCFI) to a section such that we might re-write things at kernel boot. Notably; boot time re-hashing and FineIBT are the intended use of this. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221027092842.568039454@infradead.org

objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols

2022-11-01T12:44:09+00:00

When code is compiled with: -fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES} functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders and other things that symbolize code locations will typically attribute these bytes to the preceding function. Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this mis-attribution is confusing. Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do the same. Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

x86/retbleed: Add fine grained Kconfig knobs

2022-06-29T15:43:41+00:00

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts. NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov

objtool: Add entry UNRET validation

2022-06-27T08:34:00+00:00

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET instruction. Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0. This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END. If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be reported. There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances: - UNTRAIN_RET itself - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Reviewed-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov
