[PATCH v3] ARM: module: Fix function kallsyms on Thumb-2

From: Vincent Whitchurch
Date: Tue Nov 13 2018 - 06:28:21 EST


Thumb-2 functions have the lowest bit set in the symbol value in the
symtab. When kallsyms are generated for the vmlinux, the kallsyms are
generated from the output of nm, and nm clears the lowest bit.

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
95947: 8015dc89 686 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 show_interrupts
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
8015dc88 T show_interrupts
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep show_interrupts
8015dc88 T show_interrupts

However, for modules, the kallsyms uses the values in the symbol table
without modification, so for functions in modules, the lowest bit is set
in kallsyms.

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
268: 000000e1 44 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 tun_get_socket
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
000000e0 T tun_get_socket
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
7fcd30e1 t tun_get_socket [tun]

Because of this, the offset of the crashing instruction shown in oopses
is incorrect when the crash is in a module. For example, given a
tun_get_socket which starts like this,

000000e0 <tun_get_socket>:
e0: b500 push {lr}
e2: f7ff fffe bl 0 <__gnu_mcount_nc>
e6: 4b08 ldr r3, [pc, #32]
e8: 6942 ldr r2, [r0, #20]
ea: 429a cmp r2, r3
ec: d002 beq.n f4 <tun_get_socket+0x14>

a crash when tun_get_socket is called with NULL results in:

PC is at tun_get_socket+0x7/0x2c [tun]
pc : [<7fcdb0e8>]

which can result in the incorrect line being reported by gdb if this
symbol+offset is used there. If the crash is on the first instruction
of a function, the "PC is at" line would also report the symbol name of
the preceding function.

To solve this, introduce a weak module_kallsyms_symbol_value() function
which arches can override to fix up these symbol values, and implement
this for Thumb-2. We need to move elf_type() to st_other so that the
original value of st_info is preserved.

After the fix:

$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
7fcd30e0 t tun_get_socket [tun]

PC is at tun_get_socket+0x8/0x2c [tun]
pc : [<7fcdb0e8>]
