commit 830c1e3d16b2c1733cd1ec9c8f4d47a398ae31bc

With the following fix:

  2a0098d70640 ("objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker")

... a seg fault was avoided, but the original seg fault condition in
objtool wasn't fixed.  Replace the seg fault with an error message.

<title>objtool: Add support for alternatives at the end of a section</title>

commit 17bc33914bcc98ba3c6b426fd1c49587a25c0597

Now that the previous patch gave objtool the ability to read retpoline
alternatives, it shows a new warning:

  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry_trampoline: don't know how to handle alternatives at end of section

This is due to the JMP_NOSPEC in entry_SYSCALL_64_trampoline().

Previously, objtool ignored this situation because it wasn't needed, and
it would have required a bit of extra code.  Now that this case exists,
add proper support for it.

<content type='text'>
commit a845c7cf4b4cb5e9e3b2823867892b27646f3a98

Currently objtool requires all retpolines to be:

  a) patched in with alternatives; and

  b) annotated with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.

If you forget to do both of the above, objtool segfaults trying to
dereference a NULL 'insn-&gt;call_dest' pointer.

Avoid that situation and print a more helpful error message:

  quirks.o: warning: objtool: efi_delete_dummy_variable()+0x99: unsupported intra-function call
  quirks.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.

Future improvements can be made to make objtool smarter with respect to
retpolines, but this is a good incremental improvement for now.

commit e7e83dd3ff1dd2f9e60213f6eedc7e5b08192062 upstream.

Fix the following Clang enum conversion warning:

  arch/x86/decode.c:141:20: error: implicit conversion from enumeration
  type 'enum op_src_type' to different enumeration
  type 'enum op_dest_type' [-Werror,-Wenum-conversion]

    op-&gt;dest.type = OP_SRC_REG;
		  ~ ^~~~~~~~~~

It just happened to work before because OP_SRC_REG and OP_DEST_REG have
the same value.

commit ce90aaf5cde4ce057b297bb6c955caf16ef00ee6 upstream.

Fix a seg fault which happens when an input file provided to 'objtool
orc generate' doesn't have a '.shstrtab' section (for instance, object
files produced by clang don't have this section).

commit ce90aaf5cde4ce057b297bb6c955caf16ef00ee6 upstream.

Fix a seg fault which happens when an input file provided to 'objtool
orc generate' doesn't have a '.shstrtab' section (for instance, object
files produced by clang don't have this section).

commit 0f908ccbeca99ddf0ad60afa710e72aded4a5ea7 upstream.

patch(1) loses the x bit.  So if a user follows our patching
instructions in Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst, their kernel will
not compile.

<title>objtool: Allow alternatives to be ignored</title>

commit 258c76059cece01bebae098e81bacb1af2edad17 upstream.

Getting objtool to understand retpolines is going to be a bit of a
challenge.  For now, take advantage of the fact that retpolines are
patched in with alternatives.  Just read the original (sane)
non-alternative instruction, and ignore the patched-in retpoline.

This allows objtool to understand the control flow *around* the
retpoline, even if it can't yet follow what's inside.  This means the
ORC unwinder will fail to unwind from inside a retpoline, but will work
fine otherwise.

<title>objtool: Detect jumps to retpoline thunks</title>

commit 39b735332cb8b33a27c28592d969e4016c86c3ea upstream.

A direct jump to a retpoline thunk is really an indirect jump in
disguise.  Change the objtool instruction type accordingly.

Objtool needs to know where indirect branches are so it can detect
switch statement jump tables.

This fixes a bunch of warnings with CONFIG_RETPOLINE like:

  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o: warning: objtool: nhmex_rbox_msr_enable_event()+0x44: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: copy_siginfo_to_user()+0x91: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  ...
