2021-01-26	objtool: Combine UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET and UNWIND_HINT_FUNC	Josh Poimboeuf	1	-1/+4
	The ORC metadata generated for UNWIND_HINT_FUNC isn't actually very func-like. With certain usages it can cause stack state mismatches because it doesn't set the return address (CFI_RA). Also, users of UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET no longer need to set a custom return stack offset. Instead they just need to specify a func-like situation, so the current ret_offset code is hacky for no good reason. Solve both problems by simplifying the RET_OFFSET handling and converting it into a more useful UNWIND_HINT_FUNC. If we end up needing the old 'ret_offset' functionality again in the future, we should be able to support it pretty easily with the addition of a custom 'sp_offset' in UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

2021-01-26	objtool: Add asm version of STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD	Josh Poimboeuf	1	-0/+8
	To be used for adding asm functions to the ignore list. The "aw" is needed to help the ELF section metadata match GCC-created sections. Otherwise the linker creates duplicate sections instead of combining them.

2020-10-25	treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")	Joe Perches	1	-1/+1
	Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms. Conversion done using the script at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/75393e5ddc272dc7403de74d645e6c6e0f4e70eb.camel@perches.com/2-convert_section.pl Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@gooogle.com> Reviewed-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2020-09-10	objtool: Make unwind hint definitions available to other architectures	Julien Thierry	1	-0/+88
	Unwind hints are useful to provide objtool with information about stack states in non-standard functions/code. While the type of information being provided might be very arch specific, the mechanism to provide the information can be useful for other architectures. Move the relevant unwint hint definitions for all architectures to see.
