objtool: Fix '-mtune=atom' decoding support in objtool 2.0

2017-08-21T14:07:27+00:00

With '-mtune=atom', which is enabled with CONFIG_MATOM=y, GCC uses some
unusual instructions for setting up the stack.

Instead of:

  mov %rsp, %rbp

it does:

  lea (%rsp), %rbp

And instead of:

  add imm, %rsp

it does:

  lea disp(%rsp), %rsp

Add support for these instructions to the objtool decoder.

objtool: Fix sibling call detection logic

2017-07-08T08:29:48+00:00

With some configs, objtool reports the following warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_modify_code_direct()+0x2d: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

The instruction it's complaining about isn't actually a sibling call.
It's just a normal jump to an address inside the function.  Objtool
thought it was a sibling call because the instruction's jump_dest wasn't
initialized because the function was supposed to be ignored due to its
use of sync_core().

Objtool ended up validating the function instead of ignoring it because
it didn't properly recognize a sibling call to the function.  So fix the
sibling call logic.  Also add a warning to catch ignored functions being
validated so we'll get a more useful error message next time.

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2017-07-03T19:40:46+00:00

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Most of the changes are for tooling, the main changes in this cycle were:

   - Improve Intel-PT hardware tracing support, both on the kernel and
     on the tooling side: PTWRITE instruction support, power events for
     C-state tracing, etc. (Adrian Hunter)

   - Add support to measure SMI cost to the x86 architecture, with
     tooling support in 'perf stat' (Kan Liang)

   - Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace', plus related
     improvements (Namhyung Kim)

   - Allow adding and removing fields to the default 'perf script'
     columns, using + or - as field prefixes to do so (Andi Kleen)

   - Allow resolving the DSO name with 'perf script -F brstack{sym,off},dso'
     (Mark Santaniello)

   - Add perf tooling unwind support for PowerPC (Paolo Bonzini)

   - ... and various other improvements as well"

objtool: Silence warnings for functions which use IRET

2017-06-30T17:43:50+00:00

Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction
in them.  That's because it assumed that such functions know what
they're doing with respect to frame pointers.

With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions,
and started complaining about them:

  arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function
  arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function
  arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function

Silence those warnings for now.  They can be re-enabled later, once we
have unwind hints which will allow the code to annotate the IRET usages.

objtool: Implement stack validation 2.0

2017-06-30T08:19:19+00:00

This is a major rewrite of objtool.  Instead of only tracking frame
pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including
all register saves/restores.

In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the
way for undwarf generation.

objtool: Move checking code to check.c

2017-06-30T08:19:19+00:00

In preparation for the new 'objtool undwarf generate' command, which
will rely on 'objtool check', move the checking code from
builtin-check.c to check.c where it can be used by other commands.

x86/insn: perf tools: Add new ptwrite instruction

2017-06-27T14:58:04+00:00

Add ptwrite to the op code map and the perf tools new instructions test.
To run the test:

  $ tools/perf/perf test "x86 ins"
  39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions          : Ok

Or to see the details:

  $ tools/perf/perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep ptwrite

For information about ptwrite, refer the Intel SDM.

objtool: Add fortify_panic as __noreturn function

2017-06-16T08:50:59+00:00

CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y implements fortify_panic() as a __noreturn function,
so objtool needs to know about it too.

objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issue

2017-03-07T07:42:55+00:00

Arnd Bergmann reported a (false positive) objtool warning:

  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0xfe: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

The issue is in find_switch_table().  It tries to find a switch
statement's jump table by walking backwards from an indirect jump
instruction, looking for a relocation to the .rodata section.  In this
case it stopped walking prematurely: the first .rodata relocation it
encountered was for a variable (resp_state_name) instead of a jump
table, so it just assumed there wasn't a jump table.

The fix is to ignore any .rodata relocation which refers to an ELF
object symbol.  This works because the jump tables are anonymous and
have no symbols associated with them.
