objtool: Handle Clang RSP musical chairs

2026-04-02T11:25:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7fdaa640c810cb42090a182c33f905bcc47a616a ] For no apparent reason (possibly related to CONFIG_KMSAN), Clang can randomly pass the value of RSP to other registers and then back again to RSP. Handle that accordingly. Fixes the following warnings: drivers/input/misc/uinput.o: warning: objtool: uinput_str_to_user+0x165: undefined stack state drivers/input/misc/uinput.o: warning: objtool: uinput_str_to_user+0x165: unknown CFA base reg -1 Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/90956545-2066-46e3-b547-10c884582eb0@app.fastmail.com Link: https://patch.msgid.link/240e6a172cc73292499334a3724d02ccb3247fc7.1772818491.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

objtool: Fix another stack overflow in validate_branch()

[ Upstream commit 9a73f085dc91980ab7fcc5e9716f4449424b3b59 ] The insn state is getting saved on the stack twice for each recursive iteration. No need for that, once is enough.

objtool/rust: add one more `noreturn` Rust function

2026-03-04T12:19:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit c431b00ca6afc5da3133636ecc34ee7edd38d6cc ] `objtool` with Rust 1.84.0 reports: rust/kernel.o: error: objtool: _RNvXNtNtCsaRPFapPOzLs_6kernel3str9parse_intaNtNtB2_7private12FromStrRadix14from_str_radix() falls through to next function _RNvXNtNtCsaRPFapPOzLs_6kernel3str9parse_intaNtNtB2_7private12FromStrRadix16from_u64_negated() This is very similar to commit c18f35e49049 ("objtool/rust: add one more `noreturn` Rust function"), which added `from_ascii_radix_panic` for Rust 1.86.0, except that Rust 1.84.0 ends up needing `from_str_radix_panic`.

objtool/klp: Fix unexported static call key access for manually built livepatch modules

2026-02-05T16:00:45+00:00

Enabling CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG with CONFIG_SAMPLE_LIVEPATCH results in the following error: samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.o: error: objtool: static_call: can't find static_call_key symbol: __SCK__WARN_trap This is caused an extra file->klp sanity check which was added by commit 164c9201e1da ("objtool: Add base objtool support for livepatch modules"). That check was intended to ensure that livepatch modules built with klp-build always have full access to their static call keys. However, it failed to account for the fact that manually built livepatch modules (i.e., not built with klp-build) might need access to unexported static call keys, for which read-only access is typically allowed for modules. While the livepatch-shadow-fix1 module doesn't explicitly use any static calls, it does have a memory allocation, which can cause CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG to insert a WARN() call. And WARN() is now an unexported static call as of commit 860238af7a33 ("x86_64/bug: Inline the UD1"). Fix it by removing the overzealous file->klp check, restoring the original behavior for manually built livepatch modules.

livepatch: Free klp_{object,func}_ext data after initialization

2026-02-05T16:00:45+00:00

The klp_object_ext and klp_func_ext data, which are stored in the __klp_objects and __klp_funcs sections, respectively, are not needed after they are used to create the actual klp_object and klp_func instances. This operation is implemented by the init function in scripts/livepatch/init.c. Prefix the two sections with ".init" so they are freed after the module is initializated.

objtool: Fix stack overflow in validate_branch()

2025-12-02T16:40:35+00:00

On an allmodconfig kernel compiled with Clang, objtool is segfaulting in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.o due to a stack overflow in validate_branch(). Due in part to KASAN being enabled, the qla2xxx code has a large number of conditional jumps, causing objtool to go quite deep in its recursion. By far the biggest offender of stack usage is the recently added 'prev_state' stack variable in validate_insn(), coming in at 328 bytes. Move that variable (and its tracing usage) to handle_insn_ops() and make handle_insn_ops() noinline to keep its stack frame outside the recursive call chain.
