Re: [Question] About UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY on entry_SYSCALL_64.

[Yun Levi]

Hi Peter.

When I try to orc dump on vmlinux.o and vmlinux of v6.1-rc8,

I got the below result.

In case of vmlinux.o:
$ readelf -Ws vmlinux.o  | grep entry_SYSCALL_64
    153848: 0000000000000029     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT   20
entry_SYSCALL_64_safe_stack
    175564: 0000000000000038     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT   20
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
    178264: 00000000000310d0    26 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    4
xen_entry_SYSCALL_64
    182002: 0000000000000000   407 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT   20 entry_SYSCALL_64
$ readelf -WS vmlinux.o | grep "\[20\]"
  [20] .entry.text       PROGBITS        0000000000000000 e47d40
001a00 00  AX  0   0 64

$ ./tools/objtool/objtool --dump=orc vmlinux.o
    .entry.text+0: sp:(und) bp:(und) type:call end:1
In case of vmlinux:
$ readelf -Ws vmlinux | grep entry_SYSCALL_64
134594: ffffffff81e00029     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    1
entry_SYSCALL_64_safe_stack
156328: ffffffff81e00038     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    1
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
159033: ffffffff81031b30    26 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 xen_entry_SYSCALL_64
162772: ffffffff81e00000   407 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 entry_SYSCALL_64

$ readelf -WS vmlinux | grep "\[ 1\]"
  [ 1] .text             PROGBITS        ffffffff81000000 200000
1002288 00  AX  0   0 4096

$ ./tools/objtool/objtool --dump=orc vmlinux
    .text+e00000: sp:sp+8 bp:(und) type:call end:0



My question is "why vmlinux binary's orc information about
entry_SYSCALL_64 is different from vmlinux.o"?
IIUC, the result of .text+e00000 should be the same to vmlinux.o's
result -- sp:(und) bp:(und) type:call end:1

Am I missing?

Thankx.
