Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1:
fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96
And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1:
fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x182: return with modified stack frame
fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128
fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120
Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it
uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer. It does:
lea 0x8(%rsp), %rcx
...
mov %rcx, %rsp
Instead of the obvious:
add $0x8, %rsp
It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug
to track it:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813
But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be
stuck with this issue for a while. So for now we have to track register
values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets.
This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie.
I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of
objtool's functionality. Hopefully at that point we'll be able to
remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.

When GCC realigns a function's stack, it sometimes uses %r13 as the DRAP
register, like:
push %r13
lea 0x10(%rsp), %r13
and $0xfffffffffffffff0, %rsp
pushq -0x8(%r13)
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
push %r13
...
mov -0x8(%rbp),%r13
leaveq
lea -0x10(%r13), %rsp
pop %r13
retq
Since %r13 was pushed onto the stack twice, its two stack locations need
to be stored separately. The first push of %r13 is its original value,
and the second push of %r13 is the caller's stack frame address.
Since %r13 is a callee-saved register, we need to track the stack
location of its original value separately from the DRAP register.
This fixes the following false positive warning:
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: val_to_string.constprop.7()+0x97: leave instruction with modified stack frame

When GCC 7 detects a potential divide-by-zero condition, it sometimes
inserts a UD2 instruction for the case where the divisor is zero,
instead of letting the hardware trap on the divide instruction.
Objtool doesn't consider UD2 to be fatal unless it's annotated with
unreachable(). So it considers the GCC-generated UD2 to be non-fatal,
and it tries to follow the control flow past the UD2 and gets
confused.
Previously, objtool *did* assume UD2 was always a dead end. That
changed with the following commit:
d1091c7fa3 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends")
The motivation behind that change was that Peter was planning on using
UD2 for __WARN(), which is *not* a dead end. However, it turns out
that some emulators rely on UD2 being fatal, so he ended up using
'ud0' instead:
9a93848fe7 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")
For GCC 4.5+, it should be safe to go back to the previous assumption
that UD2 is fatal, even when it's not annotated with unreachable().
But for pre-4.5 versions of GCC, the unreachable() macro isn't
supported, so such cases of UD2 need to be explicitly annotated as
reachable.

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.

Some asm (and inline asm) code does special things to the stack which
objtool can't understand. (Nor can GCC or GNU assembler, for that
matter.) In such cases we need a facility for the code to provide
annotations, so the unwinder can unwind through it.
This provides such a facility, in the form of unwind hints. They're
similar to the GNU assembler .cfi* directives, but they give more
information, and are needed in far fewer places, because objtool can
fill in the blanks by following branches and adjusting the stack pointer
for pushes and pops.

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.

With some configs, objtool reports the following warning:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_modify_code_direct()+0x2d: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
The instruction it's complaining about isn't actually a sibling call.
It's just a normal jump to an address inside the function. Objtool
thought it was a sibling call because the instruction's jump_dest wasn't
initialized because the function was supposed to be ignored due to its
use of sync_core().
Objtool ended up validating the function instead of ignoring it because
it didn't properly recognize a sibling call to the function. So fix the
sibling call logic. Also add a warning to catch ignored functions being
validated so we'll get a more useful error message next time.

Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction

they're doing with respect to frame pointers.
With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions,
and started complaining about them:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function
Silence those warnings for now. They can be re-enabled later, once we
have unwind hints which will allow the code to annotate the IRET usages.

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.

should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with

such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section

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.

For the "lea %(rsp), %rbp" case, we check if there is a rex_prefix.
But we check 'bytes' which is insn_byte_t[4] in rex_prefix (insn_field
structure). Therefore, the check is always true.
Instead, check 'nbytes' which is the right one.

The following commit:
3732710ff6 ("objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection")
... improved objtool's ability to detect GCC switch statement jump
tables for GCC 6. However the check to allow short jumps with the
scanned range of instructions wasn't quite right. The pattern detection
should allow jumps to the indirect jump instruction itself.
This fixes the following warning:

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.

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

objtool gets confused by the fact that the '-mtune=atom' GCC option
sometimes uses 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' instead of 'mov %rsp,%rbp'. The
instructions are effectively the same, but objtool doesn't know about
the 'lea' variant.
Fix the false warnings by adding support for 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' in the

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.

"With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
requested:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
this becomes possible:
$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
another u16 for future use.
There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
(Kan Liang)
- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
work) (Dave Hansen)
- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for
instance, to do:
$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
(Wang Nan)
- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
(David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
Andi Kleen)
- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
Bonzini)
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
kernel (Andi Kleen)"

The objtool build fails in a cross-compiled environment on a non-x86
host with "ARCH=x86_64":
tools/objtool/objtool-in.o: In function `decode_instructions':
tools/objtool/builtin-check.c:276: undefined reference to `arch_decode_instruction'
We could override the ARCH environment variable and change it back to
x86, similar to what the objtool Makefile was doing before; but it's
tricky to override environment variables consistently.
Instead, take a similar approach used by the Linux top-level Makefile
and introduce a SRCARCH Makefile variable which evaluates to "x86" when
ARCH is either "x86_64" or "x86".

objtool's Makefile was setting up ARCH but fixing up just the x86_64 ->
x86, using Makefile.arch will do the necessary fixups for all arches.

Not all libelf implementations have this "Please, ELF_C_READ, but use
mmap if possible" elf_begin() cmd, so provide a fallback to plain old
ELF_C_READ.
Case in point: Alpine Linux 3.4.

To make it portable to non-glibc systems, that follow the XSI variant
instead of the GNU specific one that gets in place when _GNU_SOURCE is

They were in tools/include/linux/kernel.h, requiring that it in turn

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.
