commit 8aa8eb2a8f5b3305a95f39957dd2b715fa668e21 upstream.

Change objtool to support intra-function calls. On x86, an intra-function
call is represented in objtool as a push onto the stack (of the return
address), and a jump to the destination address. That way the stack
information is correctly updated and the call flow is still accurate.

commit 87cf61fe848ca8ddf091548671e168f52e8a718e upstream.

Fix is_fentry_call() so that it works if a call has no destination
set (call_dest). This needs to be done in order to support intra-
function calls.

commit 1fb466dff904e4a72282af336f2c355f011eec61 upstream.

Recently the kbuild robot reported two new errors:

&gt;&gt; lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.o: warning: objtool: .text.unlikely: unexpected end of section
&gt;&gt; arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.o: warning: objtool: oops_end() falls through to next function show_opcodes()

I don't know why they did not occur in my test setup but after digging
it I realized I had accidentally dropped a comma in
tools/objtool/check.c when I renamed rewind_stack_do_exit to
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Add that comma back to fix objtool errors.

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

<title>x86/xen: Mark cpu_bringup_and_idle() as dead_end_function</title>

commit 9af9dcf11bda3e2c0e24c1acaacb8685ad974e93 upstream.

The asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() function is required to push the return
value on the stack in order to make ORC happy, but the only reason
objtool doesn't complain is because of a happy accident.

The thing is that asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() doesn't return, so
validate_branch() never terminates and falls through to the next
function, which in the normal case is the hypercall_page. And that, as
it happens, is 4095 NOPs and a RET.

Make asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() terminate on it's own, by making the
function it calls as a dead-end. This way we no longer rely on what
code happens to come after.

commit 4d65adfcd1196818659d3bd9b42dccab291e1751 upstream.

Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder.
It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so
this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing
insn.prefixes.

If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of
XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the
length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next
instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction
is treated as a single instruction.

[ Upstream commit 34ca59e109bdf69704c33b8eeffaa4c9f71076e5 ]

With my version of GCC 9.3.1 the ".cold" subfunctions no longer have a
numbered suffix, so the trailing period is no longer there.

Presumably this doesn't yet trigger a user-visible bug since most of the
subfunction detection logic is duplicated.   I only found it when
testing vmlinux.o validation.

[ Upstream commit 1d489151e9f9d1647110277ff77282fe4d96d09b ]

Thanks to a recent binutils change which doesn't generate unused
symbols, it's now possible for thunk_64.o be completely empty without
CONFIG_PREEMPTION: no text, no data, no symbols.

We could edit the Makefile to only build that file when
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, but that will likely create confusion
if/when the thunks end up getting used by some other code again.

Just ignore it and move on.
