objtool/x86: Separate arch-specific and generic parts

Move init_orc_entry(), write_orc_entry(), reg_name(), orc_type_name()
and print_reg() from generic orc_gen.c and orc_dump.c to arch-specific
orc.c, then introduce a new function orc_print_dump() to print info.

This is preparation for later patch, no functionality change.

objtool: Add elf_create_section_pair()

When creating an annotation section, allocate the reloc section data at
the beginning. This simplifies the data model a bit and also saves
memory due to the removal of malloc() in elf_rebuild_reloc_section().

With allyesconfig + CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:

- Before: peak heap memory consumption: 53.49G
- After: peak heap memory consumption: 49.02G

x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two

Mark reported that the ORC unwinder incorrectly marks an unwind as
reliable when the unwind terminates prematurely in the dark corners of
return_to_handler() due to lack of information about the next frame.

The problem is UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY is used in two different situations:

1) The end of the kernel stack unwind before hitting user entry, boot
code, or fork entry

2) A blind spot in ORC coverage where the unwinder has to bail due to
lack of information about the next frame

The ORC unwinder has no way to tell the difference between the two.
When it encounters an undefined stack state with 'end=1', it blindly
marks the stack reliable, which can break the livepatch consistency
model.

Fix it by splitting UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY into UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED and
UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK.

objtool: Introduce CFI hash

Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.

This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.

Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

Reduces memory consumption (and runtime) for processing an
x86_64-allyesconfig:

objtool: Support stack layout changes in alternatives

The ORC unwinder showed a warning [1] which revealed the stack layout
didn't match what was expected. The problem was that paravirt patching
had replaced "CALL *pv_ops.irq.save_fl" with "PUSHF;POP". That changed
the stack layout between the PUSHF and the POP, so unwinding from an
interrupt which occurred between those two instructions would fail.

Part of the agreed upon solution was to rework the custom paravirt
patching code to use alternatives instead, since objtool already knows
how to read alternatives (and converging runtime patching infrastructure
is always a good thing anyway). But the main problem still remains,
which is that runtime patching can change the stack layout.

Making stack layout changes in alternatives was disallowed with commit
7117f16bf460 ("objtool: Fix ORC vs alternatives"), but now that paravirt
is going to be doing it, it needs to be supported.

One way to do so would be to modify the ORC table when the code gets
patched. But ORC is simple -- a good thing! -- and it's best to leave
it alone.

Instead, support stack layout changes by "flattening" all possible stack
states (CFI) from parallel alternative code streams into a single set of
linear states. The only necessary limitation is that CFI conflicts are
disallowed at all possible instruction boundaries.

For example, this scenario is allowed:

Alt1 Alt2 Alt3

0x00 CALL *pv_ops.save_fl CALL xen_save_fl PUSHF
0x01 POP %RAX
0x02 NOP
...
0x05 NOP
...
0x07 <insn>

The unwind information for offset-0x00 is identical for all 3
alternatives. Similarly offset-0x05 and higher also are identical (and
the same as 0x00). However offset-0x01 has deviating CFI, but that is
only relevant for Alt3, neither of the other alternative instruction
streams will ever hit that offset.

This scenario is NOT allowed:

Alt1 Alt2

0x00 CALL *pv_ops.save_fl PUSHF
0x01 NOP6
...
0x07 NOP POP %RAX

The problem here is that offset-0x7, which is an instruction boundary in
both possible instruction patch streams, has two conflicting stack
layouts.

[ The above examples were stolen from Peter Zijlstra. ]

The new flattened CFI array is used both for the detection of conflicts
(like the second example above) and the generation of linear ORC
entries.

BTW, another benefit of these changes is that, thanks to some related
cleanups (new fake nops and alt_group struct) objtool can finally be rid
of fake jumps, which were a constant source of headaches.

# 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.

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.

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

objtool: Optimize !vmlinux.o again

When doing kbuild tests to see if the objtool changes affected those I
found that there was a measurable regression:

pre post

real 1m13.594 1m16.488s
user 34m58.246s 35m23.947s
sys 4m0.393s 4m27.312s

Perf showed that for small files the increased hash-table sizes were a
measurable difference. Since we already have -l "vmlinux" to
distinguish between the modes, make it also use a smaller portion of
the hash-tables.

This flips it into a small win:

real 1m14.143s
user 34m49.292s
sys 3m44.746s

objtool: Fix !CFI insn_state propagation

Objtool keeps per instruction CFI state in struct insn_state and will
save/restore this where required. However, insn_state has grown some
!CFI state, and this must not be saved/restored (that would
loose/destroy state).

Fix this by moving the CFI specific parts of insn_state into struct
cfi_state.

objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols in ORC generation

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.

objtool: Optimize read_sections()

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.

x86/unwind/orc: Detect the end of the stack

The existing UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY annotations happen to be good indicators
of where entry code calls into C code for the first time. So also use
them to mark the end of the stack for the ORC unwinder.

Use that information to set unwind->error if the ORC unwinder doesn't
unwind all the way to the end. This will be needed for enabling
HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE for the ORC unwinder so we can use it with the
livepatch consistency model.

Thanks to Jiri Slaby for teaching the ORCs about the unwind hints.

objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation

Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each
instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder
to use.

Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is
more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder. See
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.
