objtool: Add vpanic() to the noreturn list

2025-07-11T18:25:21+00:00

vpanic() does not return. However, objtool doesn't know this and gets confused: kernel/trace/rv/reactor_panic.o: warning: objtool: rv_panic_reaction(): unexpected end of section .text Add vpanic() to the list of noreturn functions.

x86/smp: Fix mwait_play_dead() and acpi_processor_ffh_play_dead() noreturn behavior

2025-03-04T10:14:25+00:00

Fix some related issues (done in a single patch to avoid introducing intermediate bisect warnings): 1) The SMP version of mwait_play_dead() doesn't return, but its !SMP counterpart does. Make its calling behavior consistent by resolving the !SMP version to a BUG(). It should never be called anyway, this just enforces that at runtime and enables its callers to be marked as __noreturn. 2) While the SMP definition of mwait_play_dead() is annotated as __noreturn, the declaration isn't. Nor is it listed in tools/objtool/noreturns.h. Fix that. 3) Similar to #1, the SMP version of acpi_processor_ffh_play_dead() doesn't return but its !SMP counterpart does. Make the !SMP version a BUG(). It should never be called. 4) acpi_processor_ffh_play_dead() doesn't return, but is lacking any __noreturn annotations. Fix that. This fixes the following objtool warnings: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: acpi_processor_ffh_play_dead+0x67: mwait_play_dead() is missing a __noreturn annotation vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: acpi_idle_play_dead+0x3c: acpi_processor_ffh_play_dead() is missing a __noreturn annotation Fixes: a7dd183f0b38 ("x86/smp: Allow calling mwait_play_dead with an arbitrary hint") Fixes: 541ddf31e300 ("ACPI/processor_idle: Add FFH state handling") Reported-by: Paul E.

objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions

2024-08-18T21:34:37+00:00

Rust functions may be `noreturn` (i.e. diverging) by returning the "never" type, `!`, e.g. fn f() -> ! { loop {} } Thus list the known `noreturn` functions to avoid such warnings. Without this, `objtool` would complain if enabled for Rust, e.g.: rust/core.o: warning: objtool: _R...9panic_fmt() falls through to next function _R...18panic_nounwind_fmt() rust/alloc.o: warning: objtool: .text: unexpected end of section In order to do so, we cannot match symbols' names exactly, for two reasons: - Rust mangling scheme [1] contains disambiguators [2] which we cannot predict (e.g. they may vary depending on the compiler version). One possibility to solve this would be to parse v0 and ignore/zero those before comparison. - Some of the diverging functions come from `core`, i.e. the Rust standard library, which may change with each compiler version since they are implementation details (e.g. `panic_internals`). Thus, to workaround both issues, only part of the symbols are matched, instead of using the `NORETURN` macro in `noreturns.h`. Ideally, just like for the C side, we should have a better solution. For instance, the compiler could give us the list via something like: $ rustc --emit=noreturns ... [ Kees agrees this should be automated and Peter says: So it would be fairly simple to make objtool consume a magic section emitted by the compiler.. I think we've asked the compiler folks for that at some point even, but I don't have clear recollections. We will ask upstream Rust about it. And if they agree, then perhaps we can get Clang/GCC to implement something similar too -- for this sort of thing we can take advantage of the shorter cycles of `rustc` as well as their unstable features concept to experiment. Gary proposed using DWARF (though it would need to be available), and wrote a proof of concept script using the `object` and `gimli` crates: https://gist.github.com/nbdd0121/449692570622c2f46a29ad9f47c3379a - Miguel ] Link: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2603-rust-symbol-name-mangling-v0.html [1] Link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/symbol-mangling/v0.html#disambiguator [2] Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Tested-by: Alice Ryhl Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Tested-by: Benno Lossin Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240725183325.122827-6-ojeda@kernel.org [ Added `len_mismatch_fail` symbol for new `kernel` crate code merged since then as well as 3 more `core::panicking` symbols that appear in `RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y` builds. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda

x86/syscall: Mark exit[_group] syscall handlers __noreturn

2024-06-28T13:23:38+00:00

The direct-call syscall dispatch function doesn't know that the exit() and exit_group() syscall handlers don't return, so the call sites aren't optimized accordingly. Fix that by marking the exit syscall declarations __noreturn. Fixes the following warnings: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: x64_sys_call+0x2804: __x64_sys_exit() is missing a __noreturn annotation vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ia32_sys_call+0x29b6: __ia32_sys_exit_group() is missing a __noreturn annotation Fixes: 1e3ad78334a6 ("x86/syscall: Don't force use of indirect calls for system calls") Closes: https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/6dba9b32-db2c-4e6d-9500-7a08852f17a3@paulmck-laptop Reported-by: Paul E.
