objtool: Print bfd_vma as unsigned long long on ia32-x86_64 cross build

2026-01-27T16:19:35+00:00

When objtool is cross-compiled in ia32 container for x86_64 target it fails with the following errors: > disas.c: In function 'disas_print_addr_sym': > disas.c:173:38: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'bfd_vma' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=] > 173 | DINFO_FPRINTF(dinfo, "0x%lx <%s>", addr, symstr); > | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ > | | > | bfd_vma {aka long long unsigned int} Provide a correct printf-fmt depending on sizeof(bfd_vma).

objtool: Fix segfault on unknown alternatives

2025-12-01T09:42:27+00:00

So 'objtool --link -d vmlinux.o' gets surprised by this endbr64+endbr64 pattern in ___bpf_prog_run(): ___bpf_prog_run: 1e7680: ___bpf_prog_run+0x0 push %r12 1e7682: ___bpf_prog_run+0x2 mov %rdi,%r12 1e7685: ___bpf_prog_run+0x5 push %rbp 1e7686: ___bpf_prog_run+0x6 xor %ebp,%ebp 1e7688: ___bpf_prog_run+0x8 push %rbx 1e7689: ___bpf_prog_run+0x9 mov %rsi,%rbx 1e768c: ___bpf_prog_run+0xc movzbl (%rbx),%esi 1e768f: ___bpf_prog_run+0xf movzbl %sil,%edx 1e7693: ___bpf_prog_run+0x13 mov %esi,%eax 1e7695: ___bpf_prog_run+0x15 mov 0x0(,%rdx,8),%rdx 1e769d: ___bpf_prog_run+0x1d jmp 0x1e76a2 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rdx> 1e76a2: ___bpf_prog_run+0x22 endbr64 1e76a6: ___bpf_prog_run+0x26 endbr64 1e76aa: ___bpf_prog_run+0x2a mov 0x4(%rbx),%edx And crashes due to blindly dereferencing alt->insn->alt_group. Bail out on NULL ->alt_group, which produces this warning and continues with the disassembly, instead of a segfault: .git/O/vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: : failed to disassemble alternative Cc: Alexandre Chartre Cc: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

objtool: Trim trailing NOPs in alternative

objtool: Add wide output for disassembly

2025-11-24T19:40:48+00:00

Add the --wide option to provide a wide output when disassembling. With this option, the disassembly of alternatives is displayed side-by-side instead of one above the other.

objtool: Compact output for alternatives with one instruction

2025-11-24T19:40:48+00:00

When disassembling, if an instruction has alternatives which are all made of a single instruction then print each alternative on a single line (instruction + description) so that the output is more compact.

objtool: Fix address references in alternatives

2025-11-21T14:30:14+00:00

When using the --disas option, alternatives are disassembled but address references in non-default alternatives can be incorrect. The problem is that alternatives are shown as if they were replacing the original code of the alternative. So if an alternative is referencing an address inside the alternative then the reference has to be adjusted to the location of the original code.

objtool: Print addresses with alternative instructions

2025-11-21T14:30:13+00:00

All alternatives are disassemble side-by-side when using the --disas option. However the address of each instruction is not printed because instructions from different alternatives are not necessarily aligned. Change this behavior to print the address of each instruction. Spaces will appear between instructions from the same alternative when instructions from different alternatives do not have the same alignment.
