2017-07-08objtool: Fix sibling call detection logicJosh Poimboeuf1-2/+11
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.

2017-06-30objtool: Silence warnings for functions which use IRETJosh Poimboeuf1-8/+6
Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction in them. That's because it assumed that such functions know what 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/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function 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.

2017-03-07objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issueJosh Poimboeuf3-3/+25
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.

2017-03-01objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modulesJosh Poimboeuf1-3/+3
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.

2017-02-24objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead endsJosh Poimboeuf3-10/+58
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.

The following commit: 3732710ff6f2 ("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.

2016-10-16objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernelsJosh Poimboeuf1-31/+26
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.

2016-10-16objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detectionJosh Poimboeuf1-2/+9
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.

2016-07-29objtool: Support new GCC 6 switch jump table patternJosh Poimboeuf1-52/+88
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.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing. The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media. - On-demand ARS (address range scrub). Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at any time. - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format. - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges. - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem. * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (41 commits) libnvdimm-btt: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "__nd_device_register" nfit: do an ARS scrub on hitting a latent media error nfit: move to nfit/ sub-directory nfit, libnvdimm: allow an ARS scrub to be triggered on demand libnvdimm: register nvdimm_bus devices with an nd_bus driver pmem: clarify a debug print in pmem_clear_poison x86/insn: remove pcommit Revert "KVM: x86: add pcommit support" nfit, tools/testing/nvdimm/: unify shutdown paths libnvdimm: move ->module to struct nvdimm_bus_descriptor nfit: cleanup acpi_nfit_init calling convention nfit: fix _FIT evaluation memory leak + use after free tools/testing/nvdimm: add manufacturing_{date|location} dimm properties tools/testing/nvdimm: add virtual ramdisk range acpi, nfit: treat virtual ramdisk SPA as pmem region pmem: kill __pmem address space pmem: kill wmb_pmem() libnvdimm, pmem: use nvdimm_flush() for namespace I/O writes fs/dax: remove wmb_pmem() libnvdimm, pmem: flush posted-write queues on shutdown ...

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "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)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ...

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".

2016-04-15objtool: Add workaround for GCC switch jump table bugJosh Poimboeuf1-12/+41
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. kbuild reports: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201603231906.LWcVUpxm%25fengguang.wu@intel.com https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201603271114.K9i45biy%25fengguang.wu@intel.com https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201603291058.zuJ6ben1%25fengguang.wu@intel.com GCC bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70604 Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/700fa029bbb0feff34f03ffc69d666a3c3b57a61.1460663532.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2016-03-09objtool: Only print one warning per functionJosh Poimboeuf1-23/+25
When objtool discovers an issue, it's very common for it to flood the terminal with a lot of duplicate warnings.

2016-03-09objtool: Add several performance improvementsJosh Poimboeuf3-14/+35
Use hash tables for instruction and rela lookups (and keep the linked lists around for sequential access). 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.

2016-03-09objtool: Fix false positive warnings for functions with multiple switch statementsJosh Poimboeuf1-45/+100
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.

2016-03-09objtool: Rename some variables and functionsJosh Poimboeuf3-52/+54
Rename some list heads to distinguish them from hash node heads, which are added later in the patch series. Also rename the get_*() functions to add_*(), which is more descriptive: they "add" data to the objtool_file struct. Also rename rodata_rela and text_rela to be clearer: - text_rela refers to a rela entry in .rela.text. - rodata_rela refers to a rela entry in .rela.rodata.

2016-03-09objtool: Fix false positive warnings related to sibling callsJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+6
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.
