objtool,x86: Replace alternatives with .retpoline_sites

2022-07-25T09:26:23+00:00

commit 134ab5bd1883312d7a4b3033b05c6b5a1bb8889b upstream. 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.

objtool: Remove reloc symbol type checks in get_alt_entry()

2022-07-25T09:26:21+00:00

commit 4d8b35968bbf9e42b6b202eedb510e2c82ad8b38 upstream. Converting a special section's relocation reference to a symbol is straightforward. No need for objtool to complain that it doesn't know how to handle it. Just handle it. This fixes the following warning: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception Fixes: 24ff65257375 ("objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types") Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/feadbc3dfb3440d973580fad8d3db873cbfe1694.1633367242.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: x86@kernel.org Cc: Miroslav Benes Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

objtool: print out the symbol type when complaining about it

2022-07-25T09:26:21+00:00

commit 7fab1c12bde926c5a8c7d5984c551d0854d7e0b3 upstream. The objtool warning that the kvm instruction emulation code triggered wasn't very useful: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception in that it helpfully tells you which symbol name it had trouble figuring out the relocation for, but it doesn't actually say what the unknown symbol type was that triggered it all. In this case it was because of missing type information (type 0, aka STT_NOTYPE), but on the whole it really should just have printed that out as part of the message. Because if this warning triggers, that's very much the first thing you want to know - why did reloc2sec_off() return failure for that symbol? So rather than just saying you can't handle some type of symbol without saying what the type _was_, just print out the type number too.

objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types

2022-07-25T09:26:20+00:00

commit 24ff652573754fe4c03213ebd26b17e86842feb3 upstream. Occasionally objtool encounters symbol (as opposed to section) relocations in .altinstructions. Typically they are the alternatives written by elf_add_alternative() as encountered on a noinstr validation run on vmlinux after having already ran objtool on the individual .o files. Basically this is the counterpart of commit 44f6a7c0755d ("objtool: Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols"), because when these new assemblers (binutils now also does this) strip the section symbols, elf_add_reloc_to_insn() is forced to emit symbol based relocations. As such, teach get_alt_entry() about different relocation types.

objtool: Skip magical retpoline .altinstr_replacement

2022-07-25T09:26:18+00:00

commit 50e7b4a1a1b264fc7df0698f2defb93cadf19a7b upstream. When the .altinstr_replacement is a retpoline, skip the alternative. We already special case retpolines anyway.

objtool: Abstract alternative special case handling

2020-09-10T15:43:13+00:00

Some alternatives associated with a specific feature need to be treated in a special way. Since the features and how to treat them vary from one architecture to another, move the special case handling to arch specific code.

objtool: Move macros describing structures to arch-dependent code

2020-09-10T15:43:13+00:00

Some macros are defined to describe the size and layout of structures exception_table_entry, jump_entry and alt_instr. These values can vary from one architecture to another. Have the values be defined by arch specific code. Suggested-by: Raphael Gault Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes Signed-off-by: Julien Thierry Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

objtool: Rename rela to reloc

2020-06-01T14:40:58+00:00

Before supporting additional relocation types rename the relevant types and functions from "rela" to "reloc". This work be done with the following regex: sed -e 's/struct rela/struct reloc/g' \ -e 's/$[_\*]$rela$s\{0,1\}$/\1reloc\2/g' \ -e 's/tmprela$s\{0,1\}$/tmpreloc\1/g' \ -e 's/relasec/relocsec/g' \ -e 's/rela_list/reloc_list/g' \ -e 's/rela_hash/reloc_hash/g' \ -e 's/add_rela/add_reloc/g' \ -e 's/rela->/reloc->/g' \ -e '/rela[,\.]/{ s/$[^\.>]$rela$[\.,]$/\1reloc\2/g ; }' \ -e 's/rela =/reloc =/g' \ -e 's/relas =/relocs =/g' \ -e 's/relas\[/relocs[/g' \ -e 's/relaname =/relocname =/g' \ -e 's/= rela\;/= reloc\;/g' \ -e 's/= relas\;/= relocs\;/g' \ -e 's/= relaname\;/= relocname\;/g' \ -e 's/, rela)/, reloc)/g' \ -e 's/$[ @]$rela$[ "]$/\1reloc\2/g' \ -e 's/ rela$/ reloc/g' \ -e 's/, relaname/, relocname/g' \ -e 's/sec->rela/sec->reloc/g' \ -e 's/($!\{0,1\}$rela/(\1reloc/g' \ -i \ arch.h \ arch/x86/decode.c \ check.c \ check.h \ elf.c \ elf.h \ orc_gen.c \ special.c Notable exceptions which complicate the regex include gelf_* library calls and standard/expected section names which still use "rela" because they encode the type of relocation expected. Also, keep "rela" in the struct because it encodes a specific type of relocation we currently expect. It will eventually turn into a member of an anonymous union when a susequent patch adds implicit addend, or "rel", relocation support. Signed-off-by: Matt Helsley Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

objtool: Optimize read_sections()

2020-03-25T17:28:30+00:00

Perf showed that __hash_init() is a significant portion of read_sections(), so instead of doing a per section rela_hash, use an elf-wide rela_hash. Statistics show us there are about 1.1 million relas, so size it accordingly. This reduces the objtool on vmlinux.o runtime to a third, from 15 to 5 seconds.
