[RFC PATCH v1 0/3] powerpc/objtool: First step towards uaccess validation (v1)

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Fri Jun 16 2023 - 09:48:29 EST


This RFC is a first step towards the validation of userspace accesses.

For the time being it targets only PPC32 and includes hacks directly in
core part of objtool.

It doesn't yet include handling of uaccess at all but is a first step
to support objtool validation.

Assembly files have been kept aside as they require a huge work before
being ready for objtool validation and are not directly relevant for
uaccess validation.

Please have a look and hold hand if I'm going in the wrong direction.

For the few hacks done directly in the core part of objtool don't
hesitate to suggest ways to make it more generic.

WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto"
powerpc: Mark all .S files invalid for objtool
powerpc: WIP draft support to objtool check
