commit da5b2ad1c2f18834cb1ce429e2e5a5cf5cbdf21b upstream.

After commit a0f7085f6a63 ("LoongArch: Add RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET
support"), there are three new instructions "addi.d $fp, $sp, 32",
"sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0" and "addi.d $sp, $fp, -32" for the secondary
stack in do_syscall(), then there is a objtool warning "return with
modified stack frame" and no handle_syscall() which is the previous
frame of do_syscall() in the call trace when executing the command
"echo l &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger".

objdump shows something like this:

0000000000000000 &lt;do_syscall&gt;:
   0:   02ff8063        addi.d          $sp, $sp, -32
   4:   29c04076        st.d            $fp, $sp, 16
   8:   29c02077        st.d            $s0, $sp, 8
   c:   29c06061        st.d            $ra, $sp, 24
  10:   02c08076        addi.d          $fp, $sp, 32
  ...
  74:   0011b063        sub.d           $sp, $sp, $t0
  ...
  a8:   4c000181        jirl            $ra, $t0, 0
  ...
  dc:   02ff82c3        addi.d          $sp, $fp, -32
  e0:   28c06061        ld.d            $ra, $sp, 24
  e4:   28c04076        ld.d            $fp, $sp, 16
  e8:   28c02077        ld.d            $s0, $sp, 8
  ec:   02c08063        addi.d          $sp, $sp, 32
  f0:   4c000020        jirl            $zero, $ra, 0

The instruction "sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0" changes the stack bottom and the
new stack size is a random value, in order to find the return address of
do_syscall() which is stored in the original stack frame after executing
"jirl $ra, $t0, 0", it should use fp which points to the original stack
top.

At the beginning, the thought is tended to decode the secondary stack
instruction "sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0" and set it as a label, then check this
label for the two frame pointer instructions to change the cfa base and
cfa offset during the period of secondary stack in update_cfi_state().
This is valid for GCC but invalid for Clang due to there are different
secondary stack instructions for ClangBuiltLinux on LoongArch, something
like this:

0000000000000000 &lt;do_syscall&gt;:
  ...
  88:   00119064        sub.d           $a0, $sp, $a0
  8c:   00150083        or              $sp, $a0, $zero
  ...

Actually, it equals to a single instruction "sub.d $sp, $sp, $a0", but
there is no proper condition to check it as a label like GCC, and so the
beginning thought is not a good way.

Essentially, there are two special frame pointer instructions which are
"addi.d $fp, $sp, imm" and "addi.d $sp, $fp, imm", the first one points
fp to the original stack top and the second one restores the original
stack bottom from fp.

Based on the above analysis, in order to avoid adding an arch-specific
update_cfi_state(), we just add a member "frame_pointer" in the "struct
symbol" as a label to avoid affecting the current normal case, then set
it as true only if there is "addi.d $sp, $fp, imm". The last is to check
this label for the two frame pointer instructions to change the cfa base
and cfa offset in update_cfi_state().

Tested with the following two configs:
(1) CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT=n
(2) CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT=y

By the way, there is no effect for x86 with this patch, tested on the
x86 machine with Fedora 40 system.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
   'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:

      - This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory
        via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the
        compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
        inline assembly code.

      - The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
        various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
        accesses in assembly code.

      - These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
        last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.

 - Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
   of FPU switching - which also generates better code

 - Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate
   slightly better code

 - Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic, to
   make it easier for distros to follow &amp; maintain these options

 - Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and to clean up the
   logic

 - Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic

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.

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.

Only copy the minimal definitions of instruction opcodes and formats
in inst.h from arch/loongarch to tools/arch/loongarch, and also copy
the definition of sign_extend64() to tools/include/linux/bitops.h to
decode the following kinds of instructions:

(1) stack pointer related instructions
addi.d, ld.d, st.d, ldptr.d and stptr.d

(2) branch and jump related instructions
beq, bne, blt, bge, bltu, bgeu, beqz, bnez, bceqz, bcnez, b, bl and jirl

(3) other instructions
break, nop and ertn

See more info about instructions in LoongArch Reference Manual:

<title>objtool/LoongArch: Enable objtool to be built</title>

<id>e8aff71ca93026209dd0eab9b285e6808cd87d05</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the minimal changes to enable objtool build on LoongArch,
most of the functions are stubs to only fix the build errors
when make -C tools/objtool.

This is similar with commit e52ec98c5ab1 ("objtool/powerpc:
Enable objtool to be built on ppc").
