2019-12-21modpost: skip ELF local symbols during section mismatch checkPaul Walmsley1-0/+12
[ Upstream commit a4d26f1a0958bb1c2b60c6f1e67c6f5d43e2647b ] During development of a serial console driver with a gcc 8.2.0 toolchain for RISC-V, the following modpost warning appeared: ---- WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x19b10): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .LANCHOR1 to the function .init.text:sifive_serial_console_setup() The variable .LANCHOR1 references the function __init sifive_serial_console_setup() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console ---- ".LANCHOR1" is an ELF local symbol, automatically created by gcc's section anchor generation code: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Anchored-Addresses.html https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/varasm.c;h=cd9591a45617464946dcf9a126dde277d9de9804;hb=9fb89fa845c1b2e0a18d85ada0b077c84508ab78#l7473 This was verified by compiling the kernel with -fno-section-anchors and observing that the ".LANCHOR1" ELF local symbol disappeared, and modpost no longer warned about the section mismatch. The serial driver code idiom triggering the warning is standard Linux serial driver practice that has a specific whitelist inclusion in modpost.c. I'm neither a modpost nor an ELF expert, but naively, it doesn't seem useful for modpost to report section mismatch warnings caused by ELF local symbols by default. Local symbols have compiler-generated names, and thus bypass modpost's whitelisting algorithm, which relies on the presence of a non-autogenerated symbol name. This increases the likelihood that false positive warnings will be generated (as in the above case). Thus, disable section mismatch reporting on ELF local symbols. The rationale here is similar to that of commit 2e3a10a1551d ("ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbols") and of similar code already present in modpost.c: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/mod/modpost.c?h=v4.19-rc4&id=7876320f88802b22d4e2daf7eb027dd14175a0f8#n1256 This third version of the patch implements a suggestion from Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> to restructure the code as an additional pattern matching step inside secref_whitelist(), and further improves the patch description.

2019-02-12modpost: validate symbol names also in find_elf_symbolSami Tolvanen1-24/+26
[ Upstream commit 5818c683a619c534c113e1f66d24f636defc29bc ] If an ARM mapping symbol shares an address with a valid symbol, find_elf_symbol can currently return the mapping symbol instead, as the symbol is not validated. This can result in confusing warnings: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x18f4028): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_reset_devices() to the variable .init.text:$x.0 This change adds a call to is_valid_name to find_elf_symbol, similarly to how it's already used in find_elf_symbol2.

2018-02-13module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in moduleAndi Kleen1-0/+9
(cherry picked from commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8) There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

2018-01-17objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modulesJosh Poimboeuf1-0/+1
commit e390f9a9689a42f477a6073e2e7df530a4c1b740 upstream. The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they should also be discarded for modules. Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with ".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards such sections. Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

2016-10-08nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpusChris Metcalf1-1/+1
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

2016-01-21powerpc: Simplify module TOC handlingAlan Modra1-1/+2
PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against .TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value. This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined. Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2 would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated. mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

2015-08-08modpost: abort if a module symbol is too longTakashi Iwai1-0/+11
Module symbols have a limited length, but currently the build system allows the build finishing even if the driver code contains a too long symbol name, which eventually overflows the modversion_info[] item. The compiler may catch at compiling *.mod.c like CC xxx.mod.o xxx.mod.c:18:16: warning: initializer-string for array of chars is too long but it's merely a warning. This patch adds the check of the symbol length in modpost and stops the build properly. Currently MODULE_NAME_LEN is defined in modpost.c instead of referring to the definition in kernel header because including linux/module.h is messy and we must cover cross-compilation.

2015-07-09modpost: work correctly with tile coldtext sectionsChris Metcalf1-1/+2
The tilegx and tilepro compilers use .coldtext for their unlikely executed text section name, so an __attribute__((cold)) function will (when compiled with higher optimization levels) land in the .coldtext section. Modify modpost to add .coldtext to the set of OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS so we don't get warnings about referencing such a section in an __ex_table block, and then also modify arch/tile/lib/memcpy_user_64.c so that it uses plain ".coldtext" instead of ".coldtext.memcpy". The latter naming is a relic of an earlier use of -ffunction-sections, which we no longer use by default.

2015-04-22modpost: don't emit section mismatch warnings for compiler optimizationsPaul Gortmaker1-0/+21

Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is: static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp) however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does constant propagation optimization.

2015-04-22modpost: expand pattern matching to support substring matchesPaul Gortmaker1-1/+11

However there currently is not a combination of both that can be used to target matches of whole families of functions that share a common substring.

As Guenter pointed out, we were never really calculating the extable entry size because the pointer arithmetic was simply wrong. We want to check we're handling the second relocation in __ex_table to infer an entry size, but we were using (void*) pointers instead of Elf_Rel[a]* ones.

2015-04-13modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table.Quentin Casasnovas1-0/+141
__ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example. If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the developper has to fix the issue. In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases like this.

Andi's change in e0f244c63fc9 ("asmlinkage, module: Make ksymtab and kcrctab symbols and __this_module __visible") make the crc appear first in the symbol table. modpost creates an entry when it sees the CRC, then when it sees the actual symbol, it complains that it's seen it before. The preloaded flag already exists for the equivalent case where we loaded from Module.symvers, so use that.

2013-09-23modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build failsGuenter Roeck1-1/+12
Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added support for building a large number of modules. Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost error if a single file failed to build. Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k: fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored) This error is followed by lots of errors such as: m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored) This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors. Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult to find the real errors in the build. Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files. With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i): m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored) ... fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory (ignored) Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
