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.

When compiling the v6.9-rc1 kernel with the x32 compiler, the following
errors are reported. The reason is that we take an "unsigned long"
variable and print it using "PRIx64" format string.

When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates some
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:

  arch/loongarch/kernel/entry.o: warning: objtool: ret_from_fork+0x0: unreachable instruction

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section
in relocation section '.rela.discard.unwind_hints', in this case, the
reloc sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION. Let us check it
to not return -1, then use reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;offset instead of reloc addend
which is 0 to find the corresponding instruction.

Here are some detailed info:
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 14.0.1 20240129 (experimental)
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ as --version

[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ readelf -r arch/loongarch/kernel/entry.o | grep -A 3 "rela.discard.unwind_hints"
Relocation section '.rela.discard.unwind_hints' at offset 0x3a8 contains 7 entries:
  Offset          Info           Type           Sym. Value    Sym. Name + Addend

When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates more
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:

  init/main.o: warning: objtool: unexpected relocation symbol type in .rela.discard.unreachable

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section in
relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable', in this case, the reloc
sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, we add a "local_label" member in struct
symbol, then set it as true if symbol type is STT_NOTYPE and symbol name
starts with ".L" string in classify_symbols().

Let's check reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;local_label to not return -1 in add_dead_ends(),
and also use reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;offset instead of reloc addend which is 0 to
find the corresponding instruction. At the same time, let's replace the
variable "addend" with "offset" to reflect the reality.

Here are some detailed info:

<title>objtool: Fix UNWIND_HINT_{SAVE,RESTORE} across basic blocks</title>

If SAVE and RESTORE unwind hints are in different basic blocks, and
objtool sees the RESTORE before the SAVE, it errors out with:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_in+0x242: objtool isn't smart enough to handle this CFI save/restore combo

In such a case, defer following the RESTORE block until the
straight-line path gets followed later.

<title>objtool: Fix calloc call for new -Walloc-size</title>

GCC 14 introduces a new -Walloc-size included in -Wextra which errors out
like:
```
check.c: In function ‘cfi_alloc’:
check.c:294:33: error: allocation of insufficient size ‘1’ for type ‘struct cfi_state’ with size ‘320’ [-Werror=alloc-size]
  294 |         struct cfi_state *cfi = calloc(sizeof(struct cfi_state), 1);
      |                                 ^~~~~~
```

The calloc prototype is:
```
void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
```

So, just swap the number of members and size arguments to match the prototype, as
we're initialising 1 struct of size `sizeof(struct ...)`. GCC then sees we're not
doing anything wrong.
