[ Upstream commit 34ca59e109bdf69704c33b8eeffaa4c9f71076e5 ]

With my version of GCC 9.3.1 the ".cold" subfunctions no longer have a
numbered suffix, so the trailing period is no longer there.

Presumably this doesn't yet trigger a user-visible bug since most of the
subfunction detection logic is duplicated.   I only found it when
testing vmlinux.o validation.

[ Upstream commit 1d489151e9f9d1647110277ff77282fe4d96d09b ]

Thanks to a recent binutils change which doesn't generate unused
symbols, it's now possible for thunk_64.o be completely empty without
CONFIG_PREEMPTION: no text, no data, no symbols.

We could edit the Makefile to only build that file when
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, but that will likely create confusion
if/when the thunks end up getting used by some other code again.

Just ignore it and move on.

<title>objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols in ORC generation</title>

commit e81e0724432542af8d8c702c31e9d82f57b1ff31 upstream.

When compiling the kernel with AS=clang, objtool produces a lot of
warnings:

  warning: objtool: missing symbol for section .text
  warning: objtool: missing symbol for section .init.text
  warning: objtool: missing symbol for section .ref.text

It then fails to generate the ORC table.

The problem is that objtool assumes text section symbols always exist.
But the Clang assembler is aggressive about removing them.

When generating relocations for the ORC table, objtool always tries to
reference instructions by their section symbol offset.  If the section
symbol doesn't exist, it bails.

Do a fallback: when a section symbol isn't available, reference a
function symbol instead.

[ Upstream commit db6c6a0df840e3f52c84cc302cc1a08ba11a4416 ]

When a function is annotated with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD, objtool
doesn't validate its code paths.  It also skips sibling call detection
within the function.

But sibling call detection is actually needed for the case where the
ignored function doesn't have any return instructions.  Otherwise
objtool naively marks the function as implicit static noreturn, which
affects the reachability of its callers, resulting in "unreachable
instruction" warnings.

Fix it by just enabling sibling call detection for ignored functions.
The 'insn-&gt;ignore' check in add_jump_destinations() is no longer needed
after

  e6da9567959e ("objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps").

Fixes the following warning:

  arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.o: warning: objtool: vmx_handle_exit_irqoff()+0x142: unreachable instruction

which triggers on an allmodconfig with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL unset.

<title>kbuild: support LLVM=1 to switch the default tools to Clang/LLVM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:62353048e2d4e398cfc22dbee3e1a7f6f535dcc1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a0d1c951ef08ed24f35129267e3595d86f57f5d3 upstream.

As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.

Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.

Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.

We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43

Some items discussed, but not adopted:

- LLVM_DIR

  When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
  LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.

  CC      = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
  LD      = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
    ...

  However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
  this.

- LLVM_SUFFIX

  Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
  naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.

  CC      = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
  LD      = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
    ...

  will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
  but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
  /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

Just skip that entry, but still give a warning to discourage useless
entries.

commit d8dd25a461e4eec7190cb9d66616aceacc5110ad upstream.

When the current frame address (CFA) is stored on the stack (i.e.,
cfa-&gt;base == CFI_SP_INDIRECT), objtool neglects to adjust the stack
offset when there are subsequent pushes or pops.  This results in bad
ORC data at the end of the ENTER_IRQ_STACK macro, when it puts the
previous stack pointer on the stack and does a subsequent push.

This fixes the following unwinder warning:

  WARNING: can't dereference registers at 00000000f0a6bdba for ip interrupt_entry+0x9f/0xa0

[ Upstream commit 8782e7cab51b6bf01a5a86471dd82228af1ac185 ]

Historically, the relocation symbols for ORC entries have only been
section symbols:

  .text+0: sp:sp+8 bp:(und) type:call end:0

However, the Clang assembler is aggressive about stripping section
symbols.  In that case we will need to use function symbols:

  freezing_slow_path+0: sp:sp+8 bp:(und) type:call end:0

In preparation for the generation of such entries in "objtool orc
generate", add support for reading them in "objtool orc dump".
