[RFC v5 00/57] objtool: Add support for arm64

[Julien Thierry]

Hi,

This patch series is the continuation of Raphael's work [1]. All the
patches can be retrieved from:
git clone -b arm64-objtool-v5 https://github.com/julien-thierry/linux.git

There still are some outstanding issues but the series is starting to
get pretty big so it is probably good to start having some discussions
on the current state of things.

It felt necessary to split some of the patches (especially the arm64
decoder). In order to give Raphael credit for his work I used the
"Suggested-by" tag. If this is not the right way to give credit or if
it should be present on more patches do let me know.

There still are some shortcomings. On defconfig here are the remaining
warnings:
* arch/arm64/crypto/crct10dif-ce-core.o: warning: objtool: crc_t10dif_pmull_p8()+0xf0: unsupported intra-function call
* arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.o: warning: objtool: qcom_link_stack_sanitization()+0x4: unsupported intra-function call
Objtool currently does not support bl from a procedure to itself. This
is also an issue with retpolines. I need to investigate more to figure
out whether something can be done for this or if this file should not be
validated by objtool.

* arch/arm64/kernel/efi-entry.o: warning: objtool: entry()+0xb0: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
The EFI entry jumps to code mapped by EFI. Objtool cannot know statically where the code flow is going.

* arch/arm64/kernel/entry.o: warning: objtool: .entry.tramp.text+0x404: unsupported intra-function call
Need to figure out what is needed to handle aarch64 trampolines. x86
explicitly annotates theirs with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE and
patching them as alternatives.

* arch/arm64/kernel/head.o: warning: objtool: .head.text+0x58: can't find jump dest instruction at .head.text+0x80884
This is actually a constant that turns out to be a valid branch opcode.
A possible solution could be to introduce a marco that explicitly
annotates constants placed in code sections.

* arch/arm64/kernel/hibernate-asm.o: warning: objtool: el1_sync()+0x4: unsupported instruction in callable function
Symbols el<x>_* shouldn't be considered as callable functions. Should we
use SYM_CODE_END instead of PROC_END?

* arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/hyp-entry.o: warning: objtool: .hyp.text: empty alternative at end of section
This is due to the arm64 alternative_cb. Currently, the feature
corresponding to the alternative_cb is defined as the current number of
features supported by the kernel, meaning the identifier is not fixed
accross kernel versions. This makes it a bit hard to detect these
alternative_cb for external tools.

Would it be acceptable to set a fixed identifier for alternative_cb?
(probably 0xFF so it is always higher than the number of real features)

* drivers/ata/libata-scsi.o: warning: objtool: ata_sas_queuecmd() falls through to next function ata_scsi_scan_host()
This is due to a limitation in the switch table metadata interpretation.
The compiler might create a table of unsigned offsets and then
compute the final offset as follows:

	ldrb    offset_reg, [<offset_table>, <offset_idx>, uxtw]
	adr     base_reg, <base_addr>
	add     res_addr, base_reg, offset_reg, sxtb #2

Effectively using the loaded offset as a signed value.
I don't have a simple way to solve this at the moment, I'd like to
avoid decoding the instructions to check which ones might sign extend
the loaded offset.

* kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: ___bpf_prog_run()+0x44: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
This is because the function uses a C jump table which differ from
basic jump tables. Also, the code generated for C jump tables on arm64
does not follow the same form as the one for x86. So the existing x86 objtool
code handling C jump tables can't be used.

I'll focus on understanding the arm64 pattern so objtool can handle them.


In the mean time, any feedback on the current state is appreciated.

* Patches 1 to 18 adapts the current objtool code to make it easier to
  support new architectures.
* Patches 19 to 45 add the support for arm64 architecture to objtool.
* Patches 46 to 57 fix warnings reported by objtool on the existing
  arm64 code.

Changes since RFCv4[1]:
* Rebase on v5.5-rc5
* Misc cleanup/bug fixes
* Fix some new objtool warnings reported on arm64 objects
* Make ORC subcommand optional since arm64 does not currently support it
* Support branch instructions in alternative sections when they jump
  within the same set of alternative instructions
* Replace the "extra" stack_op with a list of stack_op
* Split the decoder into multiple patches to ease review
* Mark constants generated by load literal instructions as bytes that
  should not be reached by execution flow
* Rework the switch table handling
