objtool: Handle function aliases

2019-04-03T09:02:24+00:00

Function aliases result in different symbols for the same set of instructions; track a canonical symbol so there is a unique point of access. This again prepares the way for function attributes. And in particular the need for aliases comes from how KASAN uses them.

objtool: Fix segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections

2018-11-20T17:59:00+00:00

Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects the result of find_symbol_by_name(). In the case where a ".cold" function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a segfault in add_switch_table(). The effects of this bug are only visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS. Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.

objtool: Fix double-free in .cold detection error path

2018-11-20T17:59:00+00:00

If read_symbols() fails during second list traversal (the one dealing with ".cold" subfunctions) it frees the symbol, but never deletes it from the list/hash_table resulting in symbol being freed again in elf_close(). Fix it by just returning an error, leaving cleanup to elf_close().

objtool: Support GCC 9 cold subfunction naming scheme

2018-11-01T08:55:38+00:00

Starting with GCC 8, a lot of unlikely code was moved out of line to "cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely. For example, the unlikely bits of: irq_do_set_affinity() are moved out to the following subfunction: irq_do_set_affinity.cold.49() Starting with GCC 9, the numbered suffix has been removed. So in the above example, the cold subfunction is instead: irq_do_set_affinity.cold() Tweak the objtool subfunction detection logic so that it detects both GCC 8 and GCC 9 naming schemes.

objtool: Support per-function rodata sections

2018-09-08T10:33:01+00:00

Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple .rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections'. Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled using those flags. The fix is comprised of three parts: 1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for easier checking later. 2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section. 3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections, rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section. The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen. Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

objtool: Use '.strtab' if '.shstrtab' doesn't exist, to support ORC tables on Clang

2018-07-14T12:59:42+00:00

Clang puts its section header names in the '.strtab' section instead of '.shstrtab', which causes objtool to fail with a "can't find .shstrtab section" warning when attempting to write ORC metadata to an object file. If '.shstrtab' doesn't exist, use '.strtab' instead.

objtool: Support GCC 8 '-fnoreorder-functions'

2018-07-02T07:42:11+00:00

Since the following commit: cd77849a69cf ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions") ... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions', objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop. That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text instead of .text.unlikely. But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside the parent (nmi_panic). That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an infinite loop in next_insn_same_func(). Here's Allan's description of the loop: "Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528 after reaching 0x534." Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the functions no longer overlap.

objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions

2018-05-14T08:20:53+00:00

GCC 8 moves a lot of unlikely code out of line to "cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely. Properly detect the new subfunctions and treat them as extensions of the original functions.
