<title>objtool: Fix function fallthrough detection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e6f393bc939d566ce3def71232d8013de9aaadde</id>
<content type='text'>
When a function falls through to the next function due to a compiler
bug, objtool prints some obscure warnings.  For example:

  drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x95: return with modified stack frame
  drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+32 cfa2=7+8

Instead it should be printing:

  drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_supply_is_couple() falls through to next function regulator_count_voltages()

This used to work, but was broken by the following commit:

  13810435b9a7 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")

The padding nops at the end of a function aren't actually part of the
function, as defined by the symbol table.  So the 'func' variable in
validate_branch() is getting cleared to NULL when a padding nop is
encountered, breaking the fallthrough detection.

If the current instruction doesn't have a function associated with it,
just consider it to be part of the previously detected function by not
overwriting the previous value of 'func'.

<title>objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps</title>

<content type='text'>
The ignore flag is set on fake jumps in order to keep
add_jump_destinations() from setting their jump_dest, since it already
got set when the fake jump was created.

But using the ignore flag is a bit of a hack.  It's normally used to
skip validation of an instruction, which doesn't really make sense for
fake jumps.

Also, after the next patch, using the ignore flag for fake jumps can
trigger a false "why am I validating an ignored function?" warning.

Instead just add an explicit check in add_jump_destinations() to skip
fake jumps.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is a series from Peter Zijlstra that adds x86 build-time uaccess
  validation of SMAP to objtool, which will detect and warn about the
  following uaccess API usage bugs and weirdnesses:

   - call to %s() with UACCESS enabled
   - return with UACCESS enabled
   - return with UACCESS disabled from a UACCESS-safe function
   - recursive UACCESS enable
   - redundant UACCESS disable
   - UACCESS-safe disables UACCESS

  As it turns out not leaking uaccess permissions outside the intended
  uaccess functionality is hard when the interfaces are complex and when
  such bugs are mostly dormant.

  As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one
  high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the
  checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted
  are:

   - call to %s() with DF set
   - return with DF set
   - return with modified stack frame
   - recursive STD
   - redundant CLD

  It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN
  on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.

  While all warnings emitted by this new checking facility that got
  reported to us were fixed, there might be GCC version dependent
  warnings that were not reported yet - which we'll address, should they
  trigger.

  The warnings are non-fatal build warnings"

Having DF escape is BAD(tm).

Linus; you suggested this one, but since DF really is only used from
ASM and the failure case is fairly obvious, do we really need this?

OTOH the patch is fairly small and simple, so let's just do this
to demonstrate objtool's superior awesomeness.

<title>objtool: Add UACCESS validation</title>

It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.

Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.

Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

<id>urn:sha1:54262aa2830151f89699fa8a6c5aa05f0992e672</id>
<content type='text'>
It turned out that we failed to detect some sibling calls;
specifically those without relocation records; like:

  $ ./objdump-func.sh defconfig-build/mm/kasan/generic.o __asan_loadN
  0000 0000000000000840 &lt;__asan_loadN&gt;:
  0000  840:      48 8b 0c 24             mov    (%rsp),%rcx
  0004  844:      31 d2                   xor    %edx,%edx
  0006  846:      e9 45 fe ff ff          jmpq   690 &lt;check_memory_region&gt;

So extend the cross-function jump to also consider those that are not
between known (or newly detected) parent/child functions, as
sibling-cals when they jump to the start of the function.

The second part of that condition is to deal with random jumps to the
middle of other function, as can be found in
arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.S for example.

This then (with later patches applied) makes the above recognise the
sibling call:

  mm/kasan/generic.o: warning: objtool: __asan_loadN()+0x6: call to check_memory_region() with UACCESS enabled

Also make sure to set insn-&gt;call_dest for sibling calls so we can know
who we're calling. This is useful information when printing validation
warnings later.

Really skip the original instruction flow, instead of letting it
continue with NOPs.

Since the alternative code flow already continues after the original
instructions, only the alt-original is skipped.
