Merge branch 'objtool/core' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jpoimboe/linux
This series introduces new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input. This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1] project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch. Key improvements compared to kpatch-build: - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions. - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar. - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code. - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft. - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction. - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time. The primary user interface is the klp-build script which does the following: - Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and -fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming. - Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same options. - Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate intermediate binary diff objects. - Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c). - Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage) using 'objtool klp post-link'. I've tested with a variety of patches on defconfig and Fedora-config kernels with both GCC and Clang.
