<id>urn:sha1:c6aecc29d29eeda6b963f1a5ea0adae2e9fd7c3d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4ae68b26c3ab5a82aa271e6e9fc9b1a06e1d6b40 upstream.

Objtool --rethunk does two things:

 - it collects all (tail) call's of __x86_return_thunk and places them
   into .return_sites. These are typically compiler generated, but
   RET also emits this same.

 - it fudges the validation of the __x86_return_thunk symbol; because
   this symbol is inside another instruction, it can't actually find
   the instruction pointed to by the symbol offset and gets upset.

Because these two things pertained to the same symbol, there was no
pressing need to separate these two separate things.

However, alas, along comes SRSO and more crazy things to deal with
appeared.

The SRSO patch itself added the following symbol names to identify as
rethunk:

  'srso_untrain_ret', 'srso_safe_ret' and '__ret'

Where '__ret' is the old retbleed return thunk, 'srso_safe_ret' is a
new similarly embedded return thunk, and 'srso_untrain_ret' is
completely unrelated to anything the above does (and was only included
because of that INT3 vs UD2 issue fixed previous).

Clear things up by adding a second category for the embedded instruction
thing.

Find all the return-thunk sites and record them in a .return_sites
section such that the kernel can undo this.

commit 22682a07acc308ef78681572e19502ce8893c4d4 upstream.

Commit c087c6e7b551 ("objtool: Fix type of reloc::addend") failed to
appreciate cross building from ILP32 hosts, where 'int' == 'long' and
the issue persists.

As such, use s64/int64_t/Elf64_Sxword for this field and suffer the
pain that is ISO C99 printf formats for it.

that our reloc::addend needs to be long or face tuncation issues when

Instead of writing complete alternatives, simply provide a list of all
the retpoline thunk calls. Then the kernel is free to do with them as
it pleases. Simpler code all-round.

commit 3a647607b57ad8346e659ddd3b951ac292c83690 upstream.

Instead of manually calling elf_rebuild_reloc_section() on sections
we've called elf_add_reloc() on, have elf_write() DTRT.

This makes it easier to add random relocations in places without
carefully tracking when we're done and need to flush what section.
