machine_real_restart() is annotated as '__noreturn", so add it to the

<title>objtool: Support per-function rodata sections</title>

<id>f1a58e1bcad882ea08778320147c7ef9118f704f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4a60aa05a0634241ce17f957bf9fb5ac1eed6576 upstream.

Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple
.rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and
'-fdata-sections'.  Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump
table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable
instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled
using those flags.

The fix is comprised of three parts:

1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for
   easier checking later.

2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order
   to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section.

3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections,
   rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section.

The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no
differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen.

Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the
unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and
a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests
that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least
making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

<title>objtool: Don't use ignore flag for fake jumps</title>

[ Upstream commit e6da9567959e164f82bc81967e0d5b10dee870b4 ]

The ignore flag is set on fake jumps in order to keep
add_jump_destinations() from setting their jump_dest, since it already
got set when the fake jump was created.

But using the ignore flag is a bit of a hack.  It's normally used to
skip validation of an instruction, which doesn't really make sense for
fake jumps.

Also, after the next patch, using the ignore flag for fake jumps can
trigger a false "why am I validating an ignored function?" warning.

Instead just add an explicit check in add_jump_destinations() to skip
fake jumps.

<title>objtool: Fix function fallthrough detection</title>

commit e6f393bc939d566ce3def71232d8013de9aaadde upstream.

When a function falls through to the next function due to a compiler
bug, objtool prints some obscure warnings.  For example:

  drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x95: return with modified stack frame
  drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_count_voltages()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+32 cfa2=7+8

Instead it should be printing:

  drivers/regulator/core.o: warning: objtool: regulator_supply_is_couple() falls through to next function regulator_count_voltages()

This used to work, but was broken by the following commit:

  13810435b9a7 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")

The padding nops at the end of a function aren't actually part of the
function, as defined by the symbol table.  So the 'func' variable in
validate_branch() is getting cleared to NULL when a padding nop is
encountered, breaking the fallthrough detection.

If the current instruction doesn't have a function associated with it,
just consider it to be part of the previously detected function by not
overwriting the previous value of 'func'.

Objtool uses over 512k of stack, thanks to the hash table embedded in
the objtool_file struct.  This causes an unnecessarily large stack
allocation and breaks users with low stack limits.

Move the struct off the stack.

<title>objtool: Fix "noreturn" detection for recursive sibling calls</title>

commit 0afd0d9e0e7879d666c1df2fa1bea4d8716909fe upstream.

Objtool has some crude logic for detecting static "noreturn" functions
(aka "dead ends").  This is necessary for being able to correctly follow
GCC code flow when such functions are called.

It's remotely possible for two functions to call each other via sibling
calls.  If they don't have RET instructions, objtool's noreturn
detection logic goes into a recursive loop:

  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: return_hosed_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)
  drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ssif.o: warning: objtool: deliver_recv_msg()+0x0: infinite recursion (objtool bug!)

Instead of reporting an error in this case, consider the functions to be
non-dead-ends.

commit 7dec80ccbe310fb7e225bf21c48c672bb780ce7b upstream.

With the following commit:

  fd35c88b7417 ("objtool: Support GCC 8 switch tables")

I added a "can't find switch jump table" warning, to stop covering up
silent failures if add_switch_table() can't find anything.

That warning found yet another bug in the objtool switch table detection
logic.  For cases 1 and 2 (as described in the comments of
find_switch_table()), the find_symbol_containing() check doesn't adjust
the offset for RIP-relative switch jumps.

Incidentally, this bug was already fixed for case 3 with:

  6f5ec2993b1f ("objtool: Detect RIP-relative switch table references")

However, that commit missed the fix for cases 1 and 2.

The different cases are now starting to look more and more alike.  So
fix the bug by consolidating them into a single case, by checking the
original dynamic jump instruction in the case 3 loop.

This also simplifies the code and makes it more robust against future
switch table detection issues -- of which I'm sure there will be many...

Switch table detection has been the most fragile area of objtool, by
far.  I long for the day when we'll have a GCC plugin for annotating
switch tables.  Linus asked me to delay such a plugin due to the
flakiness of the plugin infrastructure in older versions of GCC, so this
rickety code is what we're stuck with for now.  At least the code is now
a little simpler than it was.

commit 6f5ec2993b1f39aed12fa6fd56e8dc2272ee8a33 upstream.

Typically a switch table can be found by detecting a .rodata access
followed an indirect jump:

    1969:	4a 8b 0c e5 00 00 00 	mov    0x0(,%r12,8),%rcx
    1970:	00
			196d: R_X86_64_32S	.rodata+0x438
    1971:	e9 00 00 00 00       	jmpq   1976 &lt;dispc_runtime_suspend+0xb6a&gt;
			1972: R_X86_64_PC32	__x86_indirect_thunk_rcx-0x4

Randy Dunlap reported a case (seen with GCC 4.8) where the .rodata
access uses RIP-relative addressing:

    19bd:	48 8b 3d 00 00 00 00 	mov    0x0(%rip),%rdi        # 19c4 &lt;dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbb8&gt;
			19c0: R_X86_64_PC32	.rodata+0x45c
    19c4:	e9 00 00 00 00       	jmpq   19c9 &lt;dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbbd&gt;
			19c5: R_X86_64_PC32	__x86_indirect_thunk_rdi-0x4

In this case the relocation addend needs to be adjusted accordingly in
order to find the location of the switch table.

The fix is for case 3 (as described in the comments), but also make the
existing case 1 &amp; 2 checks more precise by only adjusting the addend for
R_X86_64_PC32 relocations.

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_suspend()+0xbb8: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_resume()+0xcc5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

commit fd35c88b74170d9335530d9abf271d5d73eb5401 upstream.

With GCC 8, some issues were found with the objtool switch table
detection.

1) In the .rodata section, immediately after the switch table, there can
   be another object which contains a pointer to the function which had
   the switch statement.  In this case objtool wrongly considers the
   function pointer to be part of the switch table.  Fix it by:

   a) making sure there are no pointers to the beginning of the
      function; and

   b) making sure there are no gaps in the switch table.

   Only the former was needed, the latter adds additional protection for
   future optimizations.

2) In find_switch_table(), case 1 and case 2 are missing the check to
   ensure that the .rodata switch table data is anonymous, i.e. that it
   isn't already associated with an ELF symbol.  Fix it by adding the
   same find_symbol_containing() check which is used for case 3.

This fixes the following warnings with GCC 8:

  drivers/block/virtio_blk.o: warning: objtool: virtio_queue_rq()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+72
  net/ipv6/icmp.o: warning: objtool: icmpv6_rcv()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+64
