Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

With certain rare configurations, GCC sometimes sets up the frame
pointer with:

  lea    (%rsp),%rbp

instead of:

  mov    %rsp,%rbp

The instructions are equivalent, so treat the former like the latter.

Josh Poimboeuf f5caf621ee x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang
For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the
stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame
pointer is set up first:

  static inline void foo()
  {
	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))
  }

Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer.

The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global
variable.

It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC
version.  With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as
before:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940
 after	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940

With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed.  It now changes its
behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global.
That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before
inserting *any* inline asm.  (Therefore, listing the variable as an
output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.)  It's a bit
overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible.  And in fact,
there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9796316		9468236		9076191		8790305
 after	9796957		9464267		9076381		8785949

So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint
is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for
older versions.

Josh Poimboeuf 0d0970eef3 objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bug
The kbuild bot reported the following warning with GCC 4.4 and a
randconfig:

  net/socket.o: warning: objtool: compat_sock_ioctl()+0x1083: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+160 cfa2=-1+0

This is caused by another GCC non-optimization, where it backs up and
restores the stack pointer for no apparent reason:

    2f91:       48 89 e0                mov    %rsp,%rax
    2f94:       4c 89 e7                mov    %r12,%rdi
    2f97:       4c 89 f6                mov    %r14,%rsi
    2f9a:       ba 20 00 00 00          mov    $0x20,%edx
    2f9f:       48 89 c4                mov    %rax,%rsp

This issue would have been happily ignored before the following commit:

  dd88a0a0c8 ("objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug")

But now that objtool is paying attention to such stack pointer writes
to/from a register, it needs to understand them properly.  In this case
that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is
potentially a backup of the stack pointer.

Josh Poimboeuf 97dab2ae7e objtool: Fix object file corruption
Arnd Bergmann reported that a randconfig build was failing with the
following link error:

  built-in.o: member arch/x86/kernel/time.o in archive is not an object

It turns out the link failed because the time.o file had been corrupted
by objtool:

  nm: arch/x86/kernel/time.o: File format not recognized

In certain rare cases, when a .o file's ORC table is very small, the
.data section size doesn't change because it's page aligned.  Because
all the existing sections haven't changed size, libelf doesn't detect
any section header changes, and so it doesn't update the section header
table properly.  Instead it writes junk in the section header entries
for the new ORC sections.

Make sure libelf properly updates the section header table by setting
the ELF_F_DIRTY flag in the top level elf struct.

Josh Poimboeuf dd88a0a0c8 objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug
Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1:

  fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96

And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1:

  fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128
  fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120

Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it
uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer.  It does:

  lea    0x8(%rsp), %rcx
  ...
  mov    %rcx, %rsp

Instead of the obvious:

  add    $0x8, %rsp

It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug
to track it:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813

But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be
stuck with this issue for a while.  So for now we have to track register
values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets.

This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie.
I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of
objtool's functionality.  Hopefully at that point we'll be able to
remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.

Josh Poimboeuf bf4d1a8375 objtool: Track DRAP separately from callee-saved registers
When GCC realigns a function's stack, it sometimes uses %r13 as the DRAP
register, like:

  push	%r13
  lea	0x10(%rsp), %r13
  and	$0xfffffffffffffff0, %rsp
  pushq	-0x8(%r13)
  push	%rbp
  mov	%rsp, %rbp
  push	%r13
  ...
  mov	-0x8(%rbp),%r13
  leaveq
  lea	-0x10(%r13), %rsp
  pop	%r13
  retq

Since %r13 was pushed onto the stack twice, its two stack locations need
to be stored separately.  The first push of %r13 is its original value,
and the second push of %r13 is the caller's stack frame address.

Since %r13 is a callee-saved register, we need to track the stack
location of its original value separately from the DRAP register.

This fixes the following false positive warning:

  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: val_to_string.constprop.7()+0x97: leave instruction with modified stack frame

Josh Poimboeuf 649ea4d5a6 objtool: Assume unannotated UD2 instructions are dead ends
Arnd reported some false positive warnings with GCC 7:

  drivers/hid/wacom_wac.o: warning: objtool: wacom_bpt3_touch()+0x2a5: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=6+16
  drivers/iio/adc/vf610_adc.o: warning: objtool: vf610_adc_calculate_rates() falls through to next function vf610_adc_sample_set()

  drivers/watchdog/digicolor_wdt.o: warning: objtool: dc_wdt_get_timeleft() falls through to next function dc_wdt_restart()

When GCC 7 detects a potential divide-by-zero condition, it sometimes
inserts a UD2 instruction for the case where the divisor is zero,
instead of letting the hardware trap on the divide instruction.

Objtool doesn't consider UD2 to be fatal unless it's annotated with
unreachable().  So it considers the GCC-generated UD2 to be non-fatal,
and it tries to follow the control flow past the UD2 and gets
confused.

Previously, objtool *did* assume UD2 was always a dead end.  That
changed with the following commit:

  d1091c7fa3 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends")

The motivation behind that change was that Peter was planning on using
UD2 for __WARN(), which is *not* a dead end.  However, it turns out
that some emulators rely on UD2 being fatal, so he ended up using
'ud0' instead:

  9a93848fe7 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")

For GCC 4.5+, it should be safe to go back to the previous assumption
that UD2 is fatal, even when it's not annotated with unreachable().

But for pre-4.5 versions of GCC, the unreachable() macro isn't
supported, so such cases of UD2 need to be explicitly annotated as
reachable.

Josh Poimboeuf 867ac9d737 objtool: Fix gcov check for older versions of GCC
Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.

However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.

As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.

Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.

Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.

Josh Poimboeuf 39358a033b objtool, x86: Add facility for asm code to provide unwind hints
Some asm (and inline asm) code does special things to the stack which
objtool can't understand.  (Nor can GCC or GNU assembler, for that
matter.)  In such cases we need a facility for the code to provide
annotations, so the unwinder can unwind through it.

This provides such a facility, in the form of unwind hints.  They're
similar to the GNU assembler .cfi* directives, but they give more
information, and are needed in far fewer places, because objtool can
fill in the blanks by following branches and adjusting the stack pointer
for pushes and pops.

Josh Poimboeuf 627fce1480 objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation
Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each
instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder
to use.

Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is
more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder.  See
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.

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.

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/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.

Josh Poimboeuf 5c51f4ae84 objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issue
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.

Josh Poimboeuf e390f9a968 objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modules
The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time.  They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.

Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.".  It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.

Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

Josh Poimboeuf d1091c7fa3 objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends
The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.

On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction.  When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.

Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'.  That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.

Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway.  The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.

So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro.  The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section.  Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

... improved objtool's ability to detect GCC switch statement jump
tables for GCC 6.  However the check to allow short jumps with the
scanned range of instructions wasn't quite right.  The pattern detection
should allow jumps to the indirect jump instruction itself.

Josh Poimboeuf 9cfffb1168 objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernels
Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction"
warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC.  Usually
this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't
understand.  But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions
really are inaccessible.  It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's
harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings.

With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect
gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced
by them.  But GCC 6 has gotten craftier.

Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger,
more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole
file when gcov is enabled.  This is fine to do because a) unreachable
warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for
production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.

Josh Poimboeuf 3732710ff6 objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection
GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes
objtool's life harder.  It looks like:

  mov [rodata addr],%reg1
  ... some instructions ...
  jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)

The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to
identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow
paths related to the switch statement.

In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump
and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first
instruction in the pattern.  If it encounters an unconditional jump
along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found.

As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are
small forward jumps within the range being scanned.

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

  kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: __dequeue_signal()+0xd8: call without frame pointer save/setup
  ...

objtool gets confused by the fact that the '-mtune=atom' GCC option
sometimes uses 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' instead of 'mov %rsp,%rbp'.  The
instructions are effectively the same, but objtool doesn't know about
the 'lea' variant.

Fix the false warnings by adding support for 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' in the
objtool decoder.

   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Linus Torvalds 7e4dc77b28 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
  concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).

  The main kernel side enhancements were:

   - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
     tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
     requested:

       $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
       kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127

     Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
     this becomes possible:

       $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a

     allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.

     This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
     another u16 for future use.

     There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
     max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately.  Further
     discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
     that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
     introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
     is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
     (Kan Liang)

   - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
     work) (Dave Hansen)

   - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)

   - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)

   - ... other misc changes.

  Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
  much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):

   - Support cross unwinding, i.e.  collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
     perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
     machine of a different hardware architecture.  This enables, for
     instance, to do:

       $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf

     on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
     x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)

   - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
     sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
     (Wang Nan)

   - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
     cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)

   - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
     (David Tolnay)

   - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
     example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
     tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)

   - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
     in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
     when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
     call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
     Andi Kleen)

   - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
     eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)

   - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
     Bonzini)

   - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
     event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)

   - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
     kernel (Andi Kleen)"

Josh Poimboeuf 60cbdf5d05 tools build: Fix objtool build with ARCH=x86_64
The objtool build fails in a cross-compiled environment on a non-x86
host with "ARCH=x86_64":

  tools/objtool/objtool-in.o: In function `decode_instructions':
  tools/objtool/builtin-check.c:276: undefined reference to `arch_decode_instruction'

We could override the ARCH environment variable and change it back to
x86, similar to what the objtool Makefile was doing before; but it's
tricky to override environment variables consistently.

Instead, take a similar approach used by the Linux top-level Makefile
and introduce a SRCARCH Makefile variable which evaluates to "x86" when
ARCH is either "x86_64" or "x86".

From http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160722034118.guckaniobf3f7czc@treble :

It needs to be compiled with the host (powerpc) compiler, but then it
needs to disassemble target (x86) files.

So use HOSTARCH instead of ARCH.

Josh Poimboeuf 0ea5ad869c objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro checking for function symbols
Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro
wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in
the lttng-modules code.

Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a
reference to a section symbol like this:

  Offset              Type            Value               Addend Name
  000000000000000000  X86_64_64       000000000000000000   +3136 .text

But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol:

  Offset              Type            Value               Addend Name
  000000000000000000  X86_64_64       0x00000000000003a0      +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode

To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the
other.  But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.

Josh Poimboeuf b1547d3101 objtool: Detect falling through to the next function
There are several cases in compiled C code where a function may not
return at the end, and may instead fall through to the next function.

That may indicate a bug in the code, or a gcc bug, or even an objtool
bug.  But in each case, objtool reports an unhelpful warning, something
like:

  drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
  drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

Detect this situation and print a more useful error message:

  drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_host_fabric_name() falls through to next function qla2x00_get_starget_node_name()

Also add some information about this warning and its potential causes to
the documentation.

Josh Poimboeuf 7e578441a4 objtool: Add workaround for GCC switch jump table bug
GCC has a rare quirk, currently only seen in three driver functions in
the kernel, and only with certain obscure non-distro configs, which can
cause objtool to produce "unreachable instruction" false positive
warnings.

As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump
table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an
indirect jump) to use a single entry in the table.  The rest of the jump
table and some of its jump targets remain as dead code.

In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction
warnings for the entire object file.  Ideally we would just ignore them
for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a
bit.  And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is a very rare
issue.

Josh Poimboeuf 1bcb58a099 objtool: Only print one warning per function
When objtool discovers an issue, it's very common for it to flood the
terminal with a lot of duplicate warnings.  For example:

  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2f3: frame pointer state mismatch
  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2ff: frame pointer state mismatch
  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x30b: frame pointer state mismatch
  ...

The first warning is usually all you need.  Change it to only warn once
per function.

Josh Poimboeuf 042ba73fe7 objtool: Add several performance improvements
Use hash tables for instruction and rela lookups (and keep the linked
lists around for sequential access).

Also cache the section struct for the "__func_stack_frame_non_standard"
section.

With this change, "objtool check net/wireless/nl80211.o" goes from:

  real	0m1.168s
  user	0m1.163s
  sys	0m0.005s

to:

  real	0m0.059s
  user	0m0.042s
  sys	0m0.017s

for a 20x speedup.

With the same object, it should be noted that the memory heap usage grew
from 8MB to 62MB.  Reducing the memory usage is on the TODO list.

Josh Poimboeuf 8133fbb424 objtool: Fix false positive warnings for functions with multiple switch statements
Ingo reported [1] some false positive objtool warnings:

  drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.o: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
  drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.o: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2f3: frame pointer state mismatch
  ...

And so did the 0-day bot [2]:

  drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.o: warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
  drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.o: warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x72b: call without frame pointer save/setup
  ...

Both sets of warnings involve functions which have multiple switch
statements.  When there's more than one switch statement in a function,
objtool interprets all the switch jump tables as a single table.  If the
targets of one jump table assume a stack frame and the targets of
another one don't, it prints false positive warnings.

Fix the bug by detecting the size of each switch jump table.  For
multiple tables, each one ends where the next one begins.

With some configs [1], objtool prints a bunch of false positive warnings
like:

  arch/x86/events/core.o: warning: objtool: x86_del_exclusive()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch

For some reason this config has a bunch of sibling calls.  When objtool
follows a sibling call jump, it attempts to compare the frame pointer
state.  But it also accidentally compares the FENTRY state, resulting in
a false positive warning.

Josh Poimboeuf 81bfafca13 objtool: Prevent infinite recursion in noreturn detection
Ingo reported an infinite loop in objtool with a certain randconfig [1].
With the given config, two functions in crypto/ablkcipher.o contained
sibling calls to each other, which threw the recursive call in
dead_end_function() for a loop (literally!).

Split the noreturn detection into two passes.  In the first pass, check
for return instructions.  In the second pass, do the potentially
recursive sibling call check.  In most cases, the first pass will be
good enough.  In the rare case where a second pass is needed, recursion
should hopefully no longer be possible.

When building with CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION on a ppc64le host with an x86

  compilation terminated.
  objtool.c:28:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.

It fails to build because it tries to compile objtool with the
cross-compiler instead of the host compiler.

Ensure that it always uses the host compiler by ignoring CROSS_COMPILE.

In order to do that properly, the libsubcmd.a library needs to be built
in tools/objtool/ rather than tools/lib/subcmd/.  The latter directory
contains the cross-compiled version which is needed for perf and
possibly other tools.

Note that cross-compiling for x86 on a _big_ endian system would result
in a bunch of false positive objtool warnings during the kernel build
because it isn't endian-aware.  But that's generally a rare edge case
and there haven't been any reports of anybody needing that.

Josh Poimboeuf 19072f23d1 x86/asm/decoder: Use explicitly signed chars
When running objtool on a ppc64le host to analyze x86 binaries, it
reports a lot of false warnings like:

  ipc/compat_mq.o: warning: objtool: compat_SyS_mq_open()+0x91: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x3a5

The warnings are caused by the x86 instruction decoder setting the wrong
value for the jump instruction's immediate field because it assumes that
"char == signed char", which isn't true for all architectures.  When
converting char to int, gcc sign-extends on x86 but doesn't sign-extend
on ppc64le.

According to the gcc man page, that's a feature, not a bug:

  > Each kind of machine has a default for what "char" should be.  It is
  > either like "unsigned char" by default or like "signed char" by
  > default.
  >
  > Ideally, a portable program should always use "signed char" or
  > "unsigned char" when it depends on the signedness of an object.

Conform to the "standards" by changing the "char" casts to "signed
char".  This results in no actual changes to the object code on x86.

Note: the x86 decoder now lives in three different locations in the
kernel tree, which are all kept in sync via makefile checks and
warnings: in-kernel, perf, and objtool.  This fixes all three locations.
Eventually we should probably try to at least converge the two separate
"tools" locations into a single shared location.

Josh Poimboeuf 442f04c34a objtool: Add tool to perform compile-time stack metadata validation
This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata.  It enforces
a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
traces can be reliable.

For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.

It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.

Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:

a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels

   Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes.  They allow runtime
   code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
   chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
   code.

   For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  For some other architectures they may be
   required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").

   For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
   frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.

   But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
   hand, which most people don't do.  So the end result is that
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.

   For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
   functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
   and update the frame pointer.  If a first function doesn't properly
   create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
   of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.

   For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
   pointers enabled:

     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
     [<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0

     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130

     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

   It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
   seq_read().

   If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
   replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
   what it looks like instead:

     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

   Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
   skipped.  Instead the stack trace seems to show that
   cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().

   The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
   *all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
   be skipped on a stack trace.

   [*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
       beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
       or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
       destroyed.  This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.

b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels

   This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
   see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

c) Higher live patching compatibility rate

   This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
   see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:

1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
   function type.  In asm code, this is typically done using the
   ENTRY/ENDPROC macros.  If objtool finds a return instruction
   outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
   callable code which should be annotated accordingly.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
   callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.

2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
   be annotated as an ELF function.  The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
   in this case.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
   Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.

3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
   correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
   the architecture's back chain rules.  This can by done in asm code
   with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.

   This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
   designed.  If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
   function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
   trace.

4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:

   a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or

   b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
      the same value it had on function entry.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
   function's code paths.  If a function jumps to code in another file,
   and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
   because it only analyzes a single file at a time.

5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
   The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
   which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.

   This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
   return normally.

It currently only supports x86_64.  I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.

On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time.  It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.
