2025-02-25objtool: Fix C jump table annotations for ClangArd Biesheuvel
A C jump table (such as the one used by the BPF interpreter) is a const global array of absolute code addresses, and this means that the actual values in the table may not be known until the kernel is booted (e.g., when using KASLR or when the kernel VA space is sized dynamically). When using PIE codegen, the compiler will default to placing such const global objects in .data.rel.ro (which is annotated as writable), rather than .rodata (which is annotated as read-only). As C jump tables are explicitly emitted into .rodata, this used to result in warnings for LoongArch builds (which uses PIE codegen for the entire kernel) like Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata..c_jump_table due to the fact that the explicitly specified .rodata section inherited the read-write annotation that the compiler uses for such objects when using PIE codegen. This warning was suppressed by explicitly adding the read-only annotation to the __attribute__((section(""))) string, by commit c5b1184decc8 ("compiler.h: specify correct attribute for .rodata..c_jump_table") Unfortunately, this hack does not work on Clang's integrated assembler, which happily interprets the appended section type and permission specifiers as part of the section name, which therefore no longer matches the hard-coded pattern '.rodata..c_jump_table' that objtool expects, causing it to emit a warning kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: ___bpf_prog_run+0x20: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame Work around this, by emitting C jump tables into .data.rel.ro instead, which is treated as .rodata by the linker script for all builds, not just PIE based ones.

2025-02-14x86/alternative: Simplify callthunk patchingPeter Zijlstra
Now that paravirt call patching is implemented using alternatives, it is possible to avoid having to patch the alternative sites by including the altinstr_replacement calls in the call_sites list. This means we're now stacking relative adjustments like so: callthunks_patch_builtin_calls(): patches all function calls to target: func() -> func()-10 since the CALL accounting lives in the CALL_PADDING. This explicitly includes .altinstr_replacement alt_replace_call(): patches: x86_BUG() -> target() this patching is done in a relative manner, and will preserve the above adjustment, meaning that with calldepth patching it will do: x86_BUG()-10 -> target()-10 apply_relocation(): does code relocation, and adjusts all RIP-relative instructions to the new location, also in a relative manner.

2024-11-27kbuild: Add Propeller configuration for kernel buildRong Xu
Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the create_llvm_prof tool (https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller optimized kernel: 1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller build config CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y then $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile> “<autofdo_profile>” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized kernel. 2) Install the kernel on test/production machines. 3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009, for this purpose. For Intel platforms: $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \ -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest> For AMD platforms: The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2 # To see if Zen3 support LBR: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs" # To see if Zen4 support LBR: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2 # If the result is yes, then collect the profile using: $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \ -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest> 4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine. 5) Generate Propeller profile: $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \ --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \ --out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt \ --propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt “create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt binary for linux can be found on https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build from source). "<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like "/home/user/dir/any_string". This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles: "<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and "<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt". 6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.

2024-11-06objtool: Fix unreachable instruction warnings for weak functionsRong Xu
In the presence of both weak and strong function definitions, the linker drops the weak symbol in favor of a strong symbol, but leaves the code in place. Code in ignore_unreachable_insn() has some heuristics to suppress the warning, but it does not work when -ffunction-sections is enabled. Suppose function foo has both strong and weak definitions. Case 1: The strong definition has an annotated section name, like .init.text. Only the weak definition will be placed into .text.foo. But since the section has no symbols, there will be no "hole" in the section. Case 2: Both sections are without an annotated section name. Both will be placed into .text.foo section, but there will be only one symbol (the strong one). If the weak code is before the strong code, there is no "hole" as it fails to find the right-most symbol before the offset. The fix is to use the first node to compute the hole if hole.sym is empty. If there is no symbol in the section, the first node will be NULL, in which case, -1 is returned to skip the whole section.

2024-11-06kbuild: Add AutoFDO support for Clang buildRong Xu
Add the build support for using Clang's AutoFDO. Building the kernel with AutoFDO does not reduce the optimization level from the compiler. AutoFDO uses hardware sampling to gather information about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. Experiments showed that the kernel can improve up to 10% in latency. The support requires a Clang compiler after LLVM 17. This submission is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Support for SPE on ARM 1, and BRBE on ARM 1 is part of planned future work. Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel: 1) Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled, for example, $ make menuconfig LLVM=1 Turn on AutoFDO build config: CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y With a configuration that has LLVM enabled, use the following command: scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG After getting the config, build with $ make LLVM=1 2) Install the kernel on the test machine. 3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009, for this purpose. For Intel platforms: $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \ -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest> For AMD platforms: The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2 For Zen3: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs" For Zen4: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2 $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \ -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest> 4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine. 5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available: create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/google/autofdo), version v0.30.1 or later. The llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to match the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release or later, or from the LLVM trunk. $ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> \ -o <profile_file> or $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \ --format=extbinary --out=<profile_file> Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via: $ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file> <profile_1> ... <profile_n> 6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config as step 1, (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled): $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file> Co-developed-by: Han Shen <shenhan@google.com> Signed-off-by: Han Shen <shenhan@google.com> Signed-off-by: Rong Xu <xur@google.com> Suggested-by: Sriraman Tallam <tmsriram@google.com> Suggested-by: Krzysztof Pszeniczny <kpszeniczny@google.com> Suggested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@linux.dev> Tested-by: Yabin Cui <yabinc@google.com> Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> Tested-by: Peter Jung <ptr1337@cachyos.org> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

As hinted by the error, this is because <sysroot>/include/linux/stddef.h (a stripped-down version of uapi/include/linux/stddef.h) includes linux/compiler_types.h directly. However, this gets resolved to tools/include/linux/compiler_types.h, which is not expected to be included directly. To resolve this, I added tools/include/uapi to the include paths when building objtool. With this trick, linux/stddef.h is resolved to tools/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h, which doesn't include linux/compiler_types.h.

2024-10-17objtool: Detect non-relocated text referencesJosh Poimboeuf
When kernel IBT is enabled, objtool detects all text references in order to determine which functions can be indirectly branched to. In text, such references look like one of the following: mov $0x0,%rax R_X86_64_32S .init.text+0x7e0a0 lea 0x0(%rip),%rax R_X86_64_PC32 autoremove_wake_function-0x4 Either way the function pointer is denoted by a relocation, so objtool just reads that. However there are some "lea xxx(%rip)" cases which don't use relocations because they're referencing code in the same translation unit. Objtool doesn't have visibility to those. The only currently known instances of that are a few hand-coded asm text references which don't actually need ENDBR. So it's not actually a problem at the moment. However if we enable -fpie, the compiler would start generating them and there would definitely be bugs in the IBT sealing. Detect non-relocated text references and handle them appropriately. [ Note: I removed the manual static_call_tramp check -- that should already be handled by the noendbr check. ] Reported-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Tested-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

2024-09-17objtool: Handle frame pointer related instructionsTiezhu Yang
After commit a0f7085f6a63 ("LoongArch: Add RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET support"), there are three new instructions "addi.d $fp, $sp, 32", "sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0" and "addi.d $sp, $fp, -32" for the secondary stack in do_syscall(), then there is a objtool warning "return with modified stack frame" and no handle_syscall() which is the previous frame of do_syscall() in the call trace when executing the command "echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger". objdump shows something like this: 0000000000000000 <do_syscall>: 0: 02ff8063 addi.d $sp, $sp, -32 4: 29c04076 st.d $fp, $sp, 16 8: 29c02077 st.d $s0, $sp, 8 c: 29c06061 st.d $ra, $sp, 24 10: 02c08076 addi.d $fp, $sp, 32 ... 74: 0011b063 sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0 ... a8: 4c000181 jirl $ra, $t0, 0 ... dc: 02ff82c3 addi.d $sp, $fp, -32 e0: 28c06061 ld.d $ra, $sp, 24 e4: 28c04076 ld.d $fp, $sp, 16 e8: 28c02077 ld.d $s0, $sp, 8 ec: 02c08063 addi.d $sp, $sp, 32 f0: 4c000020 jirl $zero, $ra, 0 The instruction "sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0" changes the stack bottom and the new stack size is a random value, in order to find the return address of do_syscall() which is stored in the original stack frame after executing "jirl $ra, $t0, 0", it should use fp which points to the original stack top. At the beginning, the thought is tended to decode the secondary stack instruction "sub.d $sp, $sp, $t0" and set it as a label, then check this label for the two frame pointer instructions to change the cfa base and cfa offset during the period of secondary stack in update_cfi_state(). This is valid for GCC but invalid for Clang due to there are different secondary stack instructions for ClangBuiltLinux on LoongArch, something like this: 0000000000000000 <do_syscall>: ... 88: 00119064 sub.d $a0, $sp, $a0 8c: 00150083 or $sp, $a0, $zero ... Actually, it equals to a single instruction "sub.d $sp, $sp, $a0", but there is no proper condition to check it as a label like GCC, and so the beginning thought is not a good way. Essentially, there are two special frame pointer instructions which are "addi.d $fp, $sp, imm" and "addi.d $sp, $fp, imm", the first one points fp to the original stack top and the second one restores the original stack bottom from fp. Based on the above analysis, in order to avoid adding an arch-specific update_cfi_state(), we just add a member "frame_pointer" in the "struct symbol" as a label to avoid affecting the current normal case, then set it as true only if there is "addi.d $sp, $fp, imm". The last is to check this label for the two frame pointer instructions to change the cfa base and cfa offset in update_cfi_state(). Tested with the following two configs: (1) CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET=y && CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT=n (2) CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET=y && CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT=y By the way, there is no effect for x86 with this patch, tested on the x86 machine with Fedora 40 system.

2024-08-18objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functionsMiguel Ojeda
Rust functions may be `noreturn` (i.e. diverging) by returning the "never" type, `!`, e.g. fn f() -> ! { loop {} } Thus list the known `noreturn` functions to avoid such warnings. Without this, `objtool` would complain if enabled for Rust, e.g.: rust/core.o: warning: objtool: _R...9panic_fmt() falls through to next function _R...18panic_nounwind_fmt() rust/alloc.o: warning: objtool: .text: unexpected end of section In order to do so, we cannot match symbols' names exactly, for two reasons: - Rust mangling scheme [1] contains disambiguators [2] which we cannot predict (e.g. they may vary depending on the compiler version). One possibility to solve this would be to parse v0 and ignore/zero those before comparison. - Some of the diverging functions come from `core`, i.e. the Rust standard library, which may change with each compiler version since they are implementation details (e.g. `panic_internals`). Thus, to workaround both issues, only part of the symbols are matched, instead of using the `NORETURN` macro in `noreturns.h`. Ideally, just like for the C side, we should have a better solution. For instance, the compiler could give us the list via something like: $ rustc --emit=noreturns ... [ Kees agrees this should be automated and Peter says: So it would be fairly simple to make objtool consume a magic section emitted by the compiler.. I think we've asked the compiler folks for that at some point even, but I don't have clear recollections. We will ask upstream Rust about it. And if they agree, then perhaps we can get Clang/GCC to implement something similar too -- for this sort of thing we can take advantage of the shorter cycles of `rustc` as well as their unstable features concept to experiment. Gary proposed using DWARF (though it would need to be available), and wrote a proof of concept script using the `object` and `gimli` crates: https://gist.github.com/nbdd0121/449692570622c2f46a29ad9f47c3379a - Miguel ] Link: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2603-rust-symbol-name-mangling-v0.html [1] Link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/symbol-mangling/v0.html#disambiguator [2] Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Tested-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> Tested-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240725183325.122827-6-ojeda@kernel.org [ Added `len_mismatch_fail` symbol for new `kernel` crate code merged since then as well as 3 more `core::panicking` symbols that appear in `RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y` builds. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

2024-07-02objtool/x86: objtool can confuse memory and stack accessAlexandre Chartre
The encoding of an x86 instruction can include a ModR/M and a SIB (Scale-Index-Base) byte to describe the addressing mode of the instruction. objtool processes all addressing mode with a SIB base of 5 as having %rbp as the base register. However, a SIB base of 5 means that the effective address has either no base (if ModR/M mod is zero) or %rbp as the base (if ModR/M mod is 1 or 2). This can cause objtool to confuse an absolute address access with a stack operation. For example, objtool will see the following instruction: 4c 8b 24 25 e0 ff ff mov 0xffffffffffffffe0,%r12 as a stack operation (i.e. similar to: mov -0x20(%rbp), %r12). [Note that this kind of weird absolute address access is added by the compiler when using KASAN.] If this perceived stack operation happens to reference the location where %r12 was pushed on the stack then the objtool validation will think that %r12 is being restored and this can cause a stack state mismatch. This kind behavior was seen on xfs code, after a minor change (convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()): >> fs/xfs/xfs.o: warning: objtool: xfs_da_grow_inode_int+0x6c1: stack state mismatch: reg1[12]=-2-48 reg2[12]=-1+0 Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202402220435.MGN0EV6l-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Alexandre Chartre <alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240620144747.2524805-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

2024-07-01x86/alternatives, kvm: Fix a couple of CALLs without a frame pointerBorislav Petkov (AMD)
objtool complains: arch/x86/kvm/kvm.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0xc5: call without frame pointer save/setup vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x2eb: call without frame pointer save/setup Make sure %rSP is an output operand to the respective asm() statements. The test_cc() hunk and ALT_OUTPUT_SP() courtesy of peterz. Also from him add some helpful debugging info to the documentation. Now on to the explanations: tl;dr: The alternatives macros are pretty fragile. If I do ALT_OUTPUT_SP(output) in order to be able to package in a %rsp reference for objtool so that a stack frame gets properly generated, the inline asm input operand with positional argument 0 in clear_page(): "0" (page) gets "renumbered" due to the added : "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "=D" (page) and then gcc says: ./arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h:53:9: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an ‘asm’ The fix is to use an explicit "D" constraint which points to a singleton register class (gcc terminology) which ends up doing what is expected here: the page pointer - input and output - should be in the same %rdi register. Other register classes have more than one register in them - example: "r" and "=r" or "A": ‘A’ The ‘a’ and ‘d’ registers. This class is used for instructions that return double word results in the ‘ax:dx’ register pair. Single word values will be allocated either in ‘ax’ or ‘dx’. so using "D" and "=D" just works in this particular case. And yes, one would say, sure, why don't you do "+D" but then: : "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "+D" (page) : [old] "i" (clear_page_orig), [new1] "i" (clear_page_rep), [new2] "i" (clear_page_erms), : "cc", "memory", "rax", "rcx") now find the Waldo^Wcomma which throws a wrench into all this. Because that silly macro has an "input..." consume-all last macro arg and in it, one is supposed to supply input *and* clobbers, leading to silly syntax snafus. Yap, they need to be cleaned up, one fine day...

2024-06-28x86/syscall: Mark exit[_group] syscall handlers __noreturnJosh Poimboeuf
The direct-call syscall dispatch function doesn't know that the exit() and exit_group() syscall handlers don't return, so the call sites aren't optimized accordingly. Fix that by marking the exit syscall declarations __noreturn. Fixes the following warnings: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: x64_sys_call+0x2804: __x64_sys_exit() is missing a __noreturn annotation vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ia32_sys_call+0x29b6: __ia32_sys_exit_group() is missing a __noreturn annotation Fixes: 1e3ad78334a6 ("x86/syscall: Don't force use of indirect calls for system calls") Closes: https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/6dba9b32-db2c-4e6d-9500-7a08852f17a3@paulmck-laptop Reported-by: Paul E.

2024-06-11x86/alternatives: Add nested alternatives macrosPeter Zijlstra
Instead of making increasingly complicated ALTERNATIVE_n() implementations, use a nested alternative expression. The only difference between: ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2) and ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1), newinst2, flag2) is that the outer alternative can add additional padding when the inner alternative is the shorter one, which then results in alt_instr::instrlen being inconsistent. However, this is easily remedied since the alt_instr entries will be consecutive and it is trivial to compute the max(alt_instr::instrlen) at runtime while patching. Specifically, after this the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro, after CPP expansion (and manual layout), looks like this: .macro ALTERNATIVE_2 oldinstr, newinstr1, ft_flags1, newinstr2, ft_flags2 740: 740: \oldinstr ; 741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ; 742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ; altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags1,742b-740b,744f-743f ; .popsection ; .pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ; 743: \newinstr1 ; 744: .popsection ; ; 741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ; 742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ; altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags2,742b-740b,744f-743f ; .popsection ; .pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ; 743: \newinstr2 ; 744: .popsection ; .endm The only label that is ambiguous is 740, however they all reference the same spot, so that doesn't matter. NOTE: obviously only @oldinstr may be an alternative; making @newinstr an alternative would mean patching .altinstr_replacement which very likely isn't what is intended, also the labels will be confused in that case. [ bp: Debug an issue where it would match the wrong two insns and and consider them nested due to the same signed offsets in the .alternative section and use instr_va() to compare the full virtual addresses instead. - Use new labels to denote that the new, nested alternatives are being used when staring at preprocessed output. - Use the %c constraint everywhere instead of %P and document the difference for future reference. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Co-developed-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230628104952.GA2439977@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net
