objtool: Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions

When a warning is associated with a function, add an option to
disassemble that function.

This makes it easier for reporters to submit the information needed to
diagnose objtool warnings.

objtool: Add --mnop as an option to --mcount

Some architectures (powerpc) may not support ftrace locations being nop'ed
out at build time. Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_OBJTOOL_NOP_MCOUNT for objtool, as
a means for architectures to enable nop'ing of ftrace locations. Add --mnop
as an option to objtool --mcount, to indicate support for the same.

Also, make sure that --mnop can be passed as an option to objtool only when
--mcount is passed.

objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols

When code is compiled with:

-fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES}

functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders
and other things that symbolize code locations will typically
attribute these bytes to the preceding function.

Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this
mis-attribution is confusing.

Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to
claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do
the same.

Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place
a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all
these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

objtool: Add entry UNRET validation

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.

Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.

There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

- UNTRAIN_RET itself
- exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
- all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET

The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack
validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now
that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is

Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which

Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do
so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for

validations and transformations which can be combined in various ways.
The subcommand model has never been a good fit, making it awkward to

cmdline option model. This makes it much more flexible to use, and

# 7786032e 12-Nov-2020 Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>

objtool: Rework header include paths

Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name
or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage:

#include "warn.h"
#include "arch_elf.h"

it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from.
To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch
specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have
to revert to including via ../ e.g:
#include "../../elf.h"

With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is
a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons:
1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool
itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files),
2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential
obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is
/usr/include/elf.h already),
3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability.
4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel
developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging
scheme.

Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from?

#include <objtool/warn.h>
#include <arch/elf.h>

And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also
guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h.

#include <objtool/elf.h>

This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging
scheme. Which is:
- all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux)
- all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch
prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we
are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps
to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel
exports).

To bring objtool to this state the following things are done:
1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into
include/objtool/ subdirectory,
2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into
arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix,
3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make
includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible,
4. rewriting file includes,
5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

objtool: Enable compilation of objtool for all architectures

Objtool currently only compiles for x86 architectures. This is
fine as it presently does not support tooling for other
architectures. However, we would like to be able to convert other
kernel tools to run as objtool sub commands because they too
process ELF object files. This will allow us to convert tools
such as recordmcount to use objtool's ELF code.

Since much of recordmcount's ELF code is copy-paste code to/from
a variety of other kernel tools (look at modpost for example) this
means that if we can convert recordmcount we can convert more.

We define weak definitions for subcommand entry functions and other weak
definitions for shared functions critical to building existing
subcommands. These return 127 when the command is missing which signify
tools that do not exist on all architectures. In this case the "check"
and "orc" tools do not exist on all architectures so we only add them
for x86. Future changes adding support for "check", to arm64 for
example, can then modify the SUBCMD_CHECK variable when building for
arm64.

Objtool is not currently wired in to KConfig to be built for other
architectures because it's not needed for those architectures and
there are no commands it supports other than those for x86. As more
command support is enabled on various architectures the necessary
KConfig changes can be made (e.g. adding "STACK_VALIDATION") to
trigger building objtool.

objtool: Implement noinstr validation

Validate that any call out of .noinstr.text is in between
instr_begin() and instr_end() annotations.

This annotation is useful to ensure correct behaviour wrt tracing
sensitive code like entry/exit and idle code. When we run code in a
sensitive context we want a guarantee no unknown code is ran.

Since this validation relies on knowing the section of call
destination symbols, we must run it on vmlinux.o instead of on
individual object files.

Add two options:

-d/--duplicate "duplicate validation for vmlinux"
-l/--vmlinux "vmlinux.o validation"

Where the latter auto-detects when objname ends with "vmlinux.o" and
the former will force all validations, also those already done on
!vmlinux object files.

objtool: Add UACCESS validation

It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.

Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.

Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

objtool: Fix gcov check for older versions of GCC

Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.

However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.

As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.

Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.

Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.

Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is

Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.

objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issue

Arnd Bergmann reported a (false positive) objtool warning:

drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0xfe: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

The issue is in find_switch_table(). It tries to find a switch
statement's jump table by walking backwards from an indirect jump
instruction, looking for a relocation to the .rodata section. In this
case it stopped walking prematurely: the first .rodata relocation it
encountered was for a variable (resp_state_name) instead of a jump
table, so it just assumed there wasn't a jump table.

The fix is to ignore any .rodata relocation which refers to an ELF
object symbol. This works because the jump tables are anonymous and
have no symbols associated with them.

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

objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.

On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.

Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.

Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.

So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernels

Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction"
warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC. Usually
this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't
understand. But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions
really are inaccessible. It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's
harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings.

With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect
gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced
by them. But GCC 6 has gotten craftier.

Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger,
more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole
file when gcov is enabled. This is fine to do because a) unreachable
warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for
production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.

objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection

GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes
objtool's life harder. It looks like:

mov [rodata addr],%reg1
... some instructions ...
jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)

The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to
identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow
paths related to the switch statement.

In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump
and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first
instruction in the pattern. If it encounters an unconditional jump
along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found.

As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are
small forward jumps within the range being scanned.

This fixes the following warnings:

drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

introduced by:

( objtool has to know all the global noreturn functions so it can follow
the control flow of any functions which call them. Unfortunately they

objtool: Support new GCC 6 switch jump table pattern

This fixes some false positive objtool warnings seen with gcc 6.1.1:

kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: warning: objtool: ring_buffer_read_page()+0x36c: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
arch/x86/kernel/reboot.o: warning: objtool: native_machine_emergency_restart()+0x139: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.o: warning: objtool: xz_dec_run()+0xc2: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

With GCC 6, a new code pattern is sometimes used to access a switch
statement jump table in .rodata, which objtool doesn't yet recognize:

mov [rodata addr],%reg1
... some instructions ...
jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)

Add support for detecting that pattern. The detection code is rather
crude, but it's still effective at weeding out false positives and
catching real warnings. It can be refined later once objtool starts
reading DWARF CFI.

objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro checking for function symbols

Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro
wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in
the lttng-modules code.

Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a
reference to a section symbol like this:

Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 000000000000000000 +3136 .text

But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol:

Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 0x00000000000003a0 +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode

To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the
other. But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.

objtool: Detect falling through to the next function

There are several cases in compiled C code where a function may not
return at the end, and may instead fall through to the next function.

That may indicate a bug in the code, or a gcc bug, or even an objtool
bug. But in each case, objtool reports an unhelpful warning, something
like:

drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

Detect this situation and print a more useful error message:

drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_host_fabric_name() falls through to next function qla2x00_get_starget_node_name()

Also add some information about this warning and its potential causes to
the documentation.

objtool: Add workaround for GCC switch jump table bug

GCC has a rare quirk, currently only seen in three driver functions in
the kernel, and only with certain obscure non-distro configs, which can
cause objtool to produce "unreachable instruction" false positive
warnings.

As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump
table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an
indirect jump) to use a single entry in the table. The rest of the jump
table and some of its jump targets remain as dead code.

In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction
warnings for the entire object file. Ideally we would just ignore them
for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a
bit. And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is a very rare
issue.

objtool: Only print one warning per function

When objtool discovers an issue, it's very common for it to flood the
terminal with a lot of duplicate warnings. For example:

warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2f3: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2ff: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x30b: frame pointer state mismatch
...

The first warning is usually all you need. Change it to only warn once
per function.

Use hash tables for instruction and rela lookups (and keep the linked

Also cache the section struct for the "__func_stack_frame_non_standard"
section.

With this change, "objtool check net/wireless/nl80211.o" goes from:

real 0m1.168s
user 0m1.163s
sys 0m0.005s

to:

real 0m0.059s
user 0m0.042s
sys 0m0.017s

for a 20x speedup.

With the same object, it should be noted that the memory heap usage grew
from 8MB to 62MB. Reducing the memory usage is on the TODO list.

objtool: Fix false positive warnings for functions with multiple switch statements

Ingo reported [1] some false positive objtool warnings:

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.o: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.o: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2f3: frame pointer state mismatch
...

And so did the 0-day bot [2]:

drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.o: warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.o: warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x72b: call without frame pointer save/setup
...

Both sets of warnings involve functions which have multiple switch
statements. When there's more than one switch statement in a function,
objtool interprets all the switch jump tables as a single table. If the
targets of one jump table assume a stack frame and the targets of
another one don't, it prints false positive warnings.

Fix the bug by detecting the size of each switch jump table. For
multiple tables, each one ends where the next one begins.

With some configs [1], objtool prints a bunch of false positive warnings
like:

arch/x86/events/core.o: warning: objtool: x86_del_exclusive()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

For some reason this config has a bunch of sibling calls. When objtool
follows a sibling call jump, it attempts to compare the frame pointer
state. But it also accidentally compares the FENTRY state, resulting in
a false positive warning.

objtool: Prevent infinite recursion in noreturn detection

Ingo reported an infinite loop in objtool with a certain randconfig [1].
With the given config, two functions in crypto/ablkcipher.o contained
sibling calls to each other, which threw the recursive call in
dead_end_function() for a loop (literally!).

Split the noreturn detection into two passes. In the first pass, check
for return instructions. In the second pass, do the potentially
recursive sibling call check. In most cases, the first pass will be
good enough. In the rare case where a second pass is needed, recursion
should hopefully no longer be possible.

traces can be reliable.

For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.

It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.

Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:

a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels

Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes. They allow runtime
code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
code.

For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. For some other architectures they may be
required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").

For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.

But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
hand, which most people don't do. So the end result is that
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.

For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
and update the frame pointer. If a first function doesn't properly
create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.

For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
pointers enabled:

[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
seq_read().

If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
what it looks like instead:

[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
skipped. Instead the stack trace seems to show that
cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().

The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
*all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
be skipped on a stack trace.

[*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
destroyed. This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.

b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels

This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

c) Higher live patching compatibility rate

This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:

1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
function type. In asm code, this is typically done using the
ENTRY/ENDPROC macros. If objtool finds a return instruction
outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
callable code which should be annotated accordingly.

This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.

2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
be annotated as an ELF function. The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
in this case.

This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.

3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
the architecture's back chain rules. This can by done in asm code
with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.

This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
designed. If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
trace.

4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:

a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or

b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
the same value it had on function entry.

This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
function's code paths. If a function jumps to code in another file,
and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
because it only analyzes a single file at a time.

5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.

This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
return normally.

It currently only supports x86_64. I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.

On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time. It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.
