[PATCH v10 08/13] kbuild: make address ranges map work with IBT

From: Nick Alcock
Date: Mon Dec 05 2022 - 11:34:37 EST


The previous commit emits .tmp_vmlinux.ranges, which maps address
range/size pairs in vmlinux to the object files which make them up; this
is used by kallmodsyms to let us associate symbols with object file
names and kernel module names at address-range granularity (i.e.,
space-efficiently).

But the previous commit only works if the final linker runs directly on
the input .o files from the kernel build: if an intermediate ld -r is
done, the final link emits a mapfile containing only the name of the
intermediate ld -r (vmlinux.o), which messes up .tmp_vmlinux.ranges and
makes kallmodsyms attribute all symbols to {vmlinux.o} which isn't much
use for disambiguation. vmlinux.o has the object file names we need, but
the addresses are all wrong so we can't use that either.

This commit fixes that by extracting the addresses from the final
vmlinux mapfile (or one of the intermediate kallsyms mapfiles) and using
them to adjust the address/objfile name pairs extracted from the
vmlinux.o mapfile, giving us a ranges map with the right addresses and
the right names. It's a bit painful because the addresses are often
large numbers, and awk is... not good at handling them (GNU awk can use
large integers, but the feature is at risk of removal). So we emit a
slightly different file format with a pair of hex values (the address in
vmlinux.o and section address from the final mapfile), then pipe it
through a tiny new C filter (scripts/addaddrs) whose only purpose is to
add those two numbers together!

One niggle is that .hot/.cold stuff is no longer correctly attributed to
its object file any more -- it seems to not appear in any of the
mapfiles at all (only in System.map), so I don't see any way to fix
this.

(This possibly makes it work with clang LTO too, but I haven't tested
it, and if the mapfile format differs it will fail until that's fixed.
But this definitely overcomes *one* of the roadblocks preventing clang
LTO from working with kallmodsyms.)
