commit 700c1018b86d0d4b3f1f2d459708c0cdf42b521d upstream.

gawk 5.0.1 generates the following regexp warnings:

  GEN      /home/sasha/torvalds/tools/objtool/arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
  awk: ../arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk:260: warning: regexp escape sequence `\:' is not a known regexp operator
  awk: ../arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk:350: (FILENAME=../arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt FNR=41) warning: regexp escape sequence `\&amp;' is  not a known regexp operator

Ealier versions of gawk are not known to generate these warnings. The
gawk manual referenced below does not list characters ':' and '&amp;' as
needing escaping, so 'unescape' them. See

  https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Escape-Sequences.html

for more info.

Running diff on the output generated by the script before and after
applying the patch reported no differences.

commit f73b3cc39c84220e6dccd463b5c8279b03514646 upstream.

If the build user has the CFLAGS variable set in their environment,
objtool blindly appends to it, which can cause unexpected behavior.

Clobber CFLAGS to ensure consistent objtool compilation behavior.

<title>objtool: Support GCC 9 cold subfunction naming scheme</title>

commit bcb6fb5da77c2a228adf07cc9cb1a0c2aa2001c6 upstream.

Starting with GCC 8, a lot of unlikely code was moved out of line to
"cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely.

For example, the unlikely bits of:

  irq_do_set_affinity()

are moved out to the following subfunction:

  irq_do_set_affinity.cold.49()

Starting with GCC 9, the numbered suffix has been removed.  So in the
above example, the cold subfunction is instead:

  irq_do_set_affinity.cold()

Tweak the objtool subfunction detection logic so that it detects both
GCC 8 and GCC 9 naming schemes.

<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: Allow AR to be overridden with HOSTAR</title>

commit 8ea58f1e8b11cca3087b294779bf5959bf89cc10 upstream.

Currently, this Makefile hardcodes GNU ar, meaning that if it is not
available, there is no way to supply a different one and the build will
fail.

  $ make AR=llvm-ar CC=clang LD=ld.lld HOSTAR=llvm-ar HOSTCC=clang \
         HOSTLD=ld.lld HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld defconfig modules_prepare
  ...
    AR       /out/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a
  /bin/sh: 1: ar: not found
  ...

Follow the logic of HOST{CC,LD} and allow the user to specify a
different ar tool via HOSTAR (which is used elsewhere in other
tools/ Makefiles).

<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'.

<title>objtool: Move objtool_file struct off the stack</title>

commit 0c671812f152b628bd87c0af49da032cc2a2c319 upstream.

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 segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections</title>

[ Upstream commit 22566c1603030f0a036ad564634b064ad1a55db2 ]

Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as
read_symbols(), changing sym-&gt;name in place without copying it affects
the result of find_symbol_by_name().  In the case where a ".cold"
function precedes its parent in sec-&gt;symbol_list, it can result in a
function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function
length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a
segfault in add_switch_table().  The effects of this bug are only
visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS.

Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.
