powerpc/module64: Fix comment in R_PPC64_ENTRY handling

2021-09-22T09:45:16+00:00

commit 2fb0a2c989837c976b68233496bbaefb47cd3d6f upstream.

The comment here is wrong, the addi reads from r2 not r12. The code is
correct, 0x38420000 = addi r2,r2,0.

powerpc/64/module: REL32 relocation range check

2018-11-21T08:24:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit b851ba02a6f3075f0f99c60c4bc30a4af80cf428 ]

The recent module relocation overflow crash demonstrated that we
have no range checking on REL32 relative relocations. This patch
implements a basic check, the same kernel that previously oopsed
and rebooted now continues with some of these errors when loading
the module:

  module_64: x_tables: REL32 527703503449812 out of range!

Possibly other relocations (ADDR32, REL16, TOC16, etc.) should also have
overflow checks.

powerpc/modules: Don't try to restore r2 after a sibling call

2018-03-19T07:42:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit b9eab08d012fa093947b230f9a87257c27fb829b ]

When attempting to load a livepatch module, I got the following error:

  module_64: patch_module: Expect noop after relocate, got 3c820000

The error was triggered by the following code in
unregister_netdevice_queue():

  14c:   00 00 00 48     b       14c 
                         14c: R_PPC64_REL24      net_set_todo
  150:   00 00 82 3c     addis   r4,r2,0

GCC didn't insert a nop after the branch to net_set_todo() because it's
a sibling call, so it never returns.  The nop isn't needed after the
branch in that case.

modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

2017-02-03T16:28:25+00:00

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.

This has a couple of downsides:

 - Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
   for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,

 - On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R__RELATIVE
   relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
   as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
   load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
   explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
   core module code)

 - Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
   each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
   CRCs.

Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset.  Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant.  Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.

So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff).  To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.

Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

powerpc/module: Add support for R_PPC64_REL32 relocations

2016-11-14T00:11:51+00:00

powerpc/modules: Never restore r2 for a mprofile-kernel style mcount() call

2016-07-21T10:10:42+00:00

In the module loader we process relocations, and for long jumps we
generate trampolines (aka stubs). At the call site for one of these
trampolines we usually need to generate a load instruction to restore
the TOC pointer into r2.

There is one exception however, which is calls to mcount() using the
mprofile-kernel ABI, they handle the TOC inside the stub, and so for
them we do not generate a TOC load.

The bug is in how the code in restore_r2() decides if it needs to
generate the TOC load. It does so by looking for a nop following the
branch, and if it sees a nop, it replaces it with the load. In general
the compiler has no reason to generate a nop following the mcount()
call and so that check works OK.

However if we combine a jump label at the start of a function, with an
early return, such that GCC applies the shrink-wrapping optimisation, we
can then end up with an mcount call followed immediately by a nop.
However the nop is not there for a TOC load, it is for the jump label.

That confuses restore_r2() into replacing the jump label nop with a TOC
load, which in turn confuses ftrace into replacing the mcount call with
a b +8 (fixed in the previous commit). The end result is we jump over
the jump label, which if it was supposed to return means we incorrectly
run the body of the function.

We have seen this in practice with some yet-to-be-merged patches that
use jump labels more extensively.

The fix is relatively simple, in restore_r2() we check for an
mprofile-kernel style mcount() call first, before looking for the
presence of a nop.

powerpc: Define and use PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2/v1

2016-06-14T03:58:27+00:00

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2.
That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check
that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is.

So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI
v2 is detected.

We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is
that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also
add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

Merge branch 'topic/mprofile-kernel' into next

2016-03-11T00:20:15+00:00

Merge the ftrace changes to support -mprofile-kernel on ppc64le. This is
a prerequisite for live patching, the support for which will be merged
via the livepatch tree based on this topic branch.

powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI

2016-03-07T03:53:55+00:00

The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount()
very early in the function with minimal overhead.

Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were
bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in
GCC 4.9, 5 and 6.

Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the
flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the
std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch
supports both sequences.

Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission.

Key changes:
 - rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs.
 - implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller()
   which deal with the new ABI.
 - updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling
   sequence.
 - updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence.
 - implement ftrace_modify_call().
 - updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module
   stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

powerpc/module: Create a special stub for ftrace_caller()

2016-03-07T03:53:54+00:00

In order to support the new -mprofile-kernel ABI, we need to be able to
call from the module back to ftrace_caller() (in the kernel) without
using the module's r2. That is because the function in this module which
is calling ftrace_caller() may not have setup r2, if it doesn't
otherwise need it (ie. it accesses no globals).

To make that work we add a new stub which is used for calling
ftrace_caller(), which uses the kernel toc instead of the module toc.
