Peter Zijlstra fdabdd0b05 objtool: Provide elf_write_{insn,reloc}()
This provides infrastructure to rewrite instructions; this is
immediately useful for helping out with KCOV-vs-noinstr, but will
also come in handy for a bunch of variable sized jump-label patches
that are still on ice.

Merge tag 'v5.7-rc6' into objtool/core, to pick up fixes and resolve semantic conflict

Resolve structural conflict between:

  59566b0b622e: ("x86/ftrace: Have ftrace trampolines turn read-only at the end of system boot up")

which introduced a new reference to 'ftrace_epilogue', and:

  0298739b7983: ("x86,ftrace: Fix ftrace_regs_caller() unwind")

Which renamed it to 'ftrace_caller_end'. Rename the new usage site in the merge commit.

Linus Torvalds c14cab2688 A set of fixes for x86:
- Ensure that direct mapping alias is always flushed when changing page
    attributes. The optimization for small ranges failed to do so when
    the virtual address was in the vmalloc or module space.
 
  - Unbreak the trace event registration for syscalls without arguments
    caused by the refactoring of the SYSCALL_DEFINE0() macro.
 
  - Move the printk in the TSC deadline timer code to a place where it is
    guaranteed to only be called once during boot and cannot be rearmed by
    clearing warn_once after boot. If it's invoked post boot then lockdep
    rightfully complains about a potential deadlock as the calling context
    is different.
 
  - A series of fixes for objtool and the ORC unwinder addressing variety
    of small issues:
 
      Stack offset tracking for indirect CFAs in objtool ignored subsequent
      pushs and pops
 
      Repair the unwind hints in the register clearing entry ASM code
 
      Make the unwinding in the low level exit to usermode code stop after
      switching to the trampoline stack. The unwind hint is not longer valid
      and the ORC unwinder emits a warning as it can't find the registers
      anymore.
 
      Fix the unwind hints in switch_to_asm() and rewind_stack_do_exit()
      which caused objtool to generate bogus ORC data.
 
      Prevent unwinder warnings when dumping the stack of a non-current
      task as there is no way to be sure about the validity because the
      dumped stack can be a moving target.
 
      Make the ORC unwinder behave the same way as the frame pointer
      unwinder when dumping an inactive tasks stack and do not skip the
      first frame.
 
      Prevent ORC unwinding before ORC data has been initialized
 
      Immediately terminate unwinding when a unknown ORC entry type is
      found.
 
      Prevent premature stop of the unwinder caused by IRET frames.
 
      Fix another infinite loop in objtool caused by a negative offset which
      was not catched.

Quoting Julien:

  "And the other suggestion is my other email was that you don't even
  need to add INSN_EXCEPTION_RETURN. You can keep IRET as
  INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH by default and x86 decoder lookups the symbol
  conaining an iret. If it's a function symbol, it can just set the type
  to INSN_OTHER so that it caries on to the next instruction after
  having handled the stack_op."

Josh Poimboeuf 53fb6e990d objtool: Fix infinite loop in for_offset_range()
Randy reported that objtool got stuck in an infinite loop when
processing drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-parport.o.  It was caused by the
following code:

  00000000000001fd <line_set>:
   1fd:	48 b8 00 00 00 00 00	movabs $0x0,%rax
   204:	00 00 00
			1ff: R_X86_64_64	.rodata-0x8
   207:	41 55                	push   %r13
   209:	41 89 f5             	mov    %esi,%r13d
   20c:	41 54                	push   %r12
   20e:	49 89 fc             	mov    %rdi,%r12
   211:	55                   	push   %rbp
   212:	48 89 d5             	mov    %rdx,%rbp
   215:	53                   	push   %rbx
   216:	0f b6 5a 01          	movzbl 0x1(%rdx),%ebx
   21a:	48 8d 34 dd 00 00 00 	lea    0x0(,%rbx,8),%rsi
   221:	00
			21e: R_X86_64_32S	.rodata
   222:	48 89 f1             	mov    %rsi,%rcx
   225:	48 29 c1             	sub    %rax,%rcx

find_jump_table() saw the .rodata reference and tried to find a jump
table associated with it (though there wasn't one).  The -0x8 rela
addend is unusual.  It caused find_jump_table() to send a negative
table_offset (unsigned 0xfffffffffffffff8) to find_rela_by_dest().

The negative offset should have been harmless, but it actually threw
for_offset_range() for a loop... literally.  When the mask value got
incremented past the end value, it also wrapped to zero, causing the
loop exit condition to remain true forever.

Prevent this scenario from happening by ensuring the incremented value
is always >= the starting value.

Ingo Molnar 894e48cada objtool: Constify 'struct elf *' parameters
In preparation to parallelize certain parts of objtool, map out which uses
of various data structures are read-only vs. read-write.

As a first step constify 'struct elf' pointer passing, most of the secondary
uses of it in find_symbol_*() methods are read-only.

Also, while at it, better group the 'struct elf' handling methods in elf.h.

Peter Zijlstra 34f7c96d96 objtool: Optimize !vmlinux.o again
When doing kbuild tests to see if the objtool changes affected those I
found that there was a measurable regression:

          pre		  post

  real    1m13.594        1m16.488s
  user    34m58.246s      35m23.947s
  sys     4m0.393s        4m27.312s

Perf showed that for small files the increased hash-table sizes were a
measurable difference. Since we already have -l "vmlinux" to
distinguish between the modes, make it also use a smaller portion of
the hash-tables.

This flips it into a small win:

  real    1m14.143s
  user    34m49.292s
  sys     3m44.746s

Peter Zijlstra c4a33939a7 objtool: Implement noinstr validation
Validate that any call out of .noinstr.text is in between
instr_begin() and instr_end() annotations.

This annotation is useful to ensure correct behaviour wrt tracing
sensitive code like entry/exit and idle code. When we run code in a
sensitive context we want a guarantee no unknown code is ran.

Since this validation relies on knowing the section of call
destination symbols, we must run it on vmlinux.o instead of on
individual object files.

Add two options:

 -d/--duplicate "duplicate validation for vmlinux"
 -l/--vmlinux "vmlinux.o validation"

Where the latter auto-detects when objname ends with "vmlinux.o" and
the former will force all validations, also those already done on
!vmlinux object files.

Josh Poimboeuf 7acfe53153 objtool: Improve call destination function detection
A recent clang change, combined with a binutils bug, can trigger a
situation where a ".Lprintk$local" STT_NOTYPE symbol gets created at the
same offset as the "printk" STT_FUNC symbol.  This confuses objtool:

  kernel/printk/printk.o: warning: objtool: ignore_loglevel_setup()+0x10: can't find call dest symbol at .text+0xc67

Improve the call destination detection by looking specifically for an
STT_FUNC symbol.

Jann Horn bd98c81346 objtool: Support repeated uses of the same C jump table
This fixes objtool for both a GCC issue and a Clang issue:

1) GCC issue:

   kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: ___bpf_prog_run()+0x8d5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

   With CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, GCC is doing the following optimization in
   ___bpf_prog_run().

   Before:

           select_insn:
                   jmp *jumptable(,%rax,8)
                   ...
           ALU64_ADD_X:
                   ...
                   jmp select_insn
           ALU_ADD_X:
                   ...
                   jmp select_insn

   After:

           select_insn:
                   jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
                   ...
           ALU64_ADD_X:
                   ...
                   jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
           ALU_ADD_X:
                   ...
                   jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)

   This confuses objtool.  It has never seen multiple indirect jump
   sites which use the same jump table.

   For GCC switch tables, the only way of detecting the size of a table
   is by continuing to scan for more tables.  The size of the previous
   table can only be determined after another switch table is found, or
   when the scan reaches the end of the function.

   That logic was reused for C jump tables, and was based on the
   assumption that each jump table only has a single jump site.  The
   above optimization breaks that assumption.

2) Clang issue:

   drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.o: warning: objtool: sisusb_write_mem_bulk()+0x588: can't find switch jump table

   With clang 9, code can be generated where a function contains two
   indirect jump instructions which use the same switch table.

The fix is the same for both issues: split the jump table parsing into
two passes.

In the first pass, locate the heads of all switch tables for the
function and mark their locations.

In the second pass, parse the switch tables and add them.

Peter Zijlstra ea24213d80 objtool: Add UACCESS validation
It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.

Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.

Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

Allan Xavier 4a60aa05a0 objtool: Support per-function rodata sections
Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple
.rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and
'-fdata-sections'.  Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump
table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable
instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled
using those flags.

The fix is comprised of three parts:

1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for
   easier checking later.

2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order
   to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section.

3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections,
   rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section.

The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no
differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen.

Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the
unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and
a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests
that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least
making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

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 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
     [<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

   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:

   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.
