2d24dd5798 rbtree: Add generic add and find helpers
I've always been bothered by the endless (fragile) boilerplate for
rbtree, and I recently wrote some rbtree helpers for objtool and
figured I should lift them into the kernel and use them more widely.

Provide:

partial-order; less() based:
 - rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
 - rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached

total-order; cmp() based:
 - rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
 - rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found

 - rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
 - rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
 - rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two

Inlining and constant propagation should see the compiler inline the
whole thing, including the various compare functions.

1d489151e9 objtool: Don't fail on missing symbol table
Thanks to a recent binutils change which doesn't generate unused
symbols, it's now possible for thunk_64.o be completely empty without
CONFIG_PREEMPTION: no text, no data, no symbols.

We could edit the Makefile to only build that file when
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled, but that will likely create confusion
if/when the thunks end up getting used by some other code again.

Just ignore it and move on.

7786032e52 objtool: Rework header include paths
Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name
or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage:

 #include "warn.h"
 #include "arch_elf.h"

it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from.
To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch
specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have
to revert to including via ../ e.g:
 #include "../../elf.h"

With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is
a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons:
1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool
   itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files),
2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential
   obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is
   /usr/include/elf.h already),
3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability.
4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel
   developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging
   scheme.

Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from?

 #include <objtool/warn.h>
 #include <arch/elf.h>

And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also
guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h.

 #include <objtool/elf.h>

This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging
scheme. Which is:
- all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux)
- all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch
  prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we
  are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps
  to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel
  exports).

To bring objtool to this state the following things are done:
1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into
   include/objtool/ subdirectory,
2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into
   arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix,
3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make
   includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible,
4. rewriting file includes,
5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

a1a664ece5 objtool: Fix reloc generation on big endian cross-compiles
Relocations generated in elf_rebuild_rel[a]_reloc_section() are broken
if objtool is built and run on a big endian system.

The following errors pop up during x86 cross-compilation:

  x86_64-9.1.0-ld: fs/efivarfs/inode.o: bad reloc symbol index (0x2000000 >= 0x22) for offset 0 in section `.orc_unwind_ip'
  x86_64-9.1.0-ld: final link failed: bad value

Convert those functions to use gelf_update_rel[a](), similar to what
elf_write_reloc() does.

a2e38dffcd objtool: Don't add empty symbols to the rbtree
Building with the Clang assembler shows the following warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at offset 0x16

The Clang assembler strips section symbols.  That ends up giving
objtool's find_func_containing() much more test coverage than normal.
Turns out, find_func_containing() doesn't work so well for overlapping
symbols:

     2: 000000000000000e     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    2 fgraph_trace
     3: 000000000000000f     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    2 trace
     4: 0000000000000000   165 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 __fentry__
     5: 000000000000000e     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 ftrace_stub

The zero-length NOTYPE symbols are inside __fentry__(), confusing the
rbtree search for any __fentry__() offset coming after a NOTYPE.

Try to avoid this problem by not adding zero-length symbols to the
rbtree.  They're rare and aren't needed in the rbtree anyway.

One caveat, this actually might not end up being the right fix.
Non-empty overlapping symbols, if they exist, could have the same
problem.  But that would need bigger changes, let's see if we can get
away with the easy fix for now.

44f6a7c075 objtool: Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols
The Clang assembler likes to strip section symbols, which means objtool
can't reference some text code by its section.  This confuses objtool
greatly, causing it to seg fault.

The fix is similar to what was done before, for ORC reloc generation:

  e81e072443 ("objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols in ORC generation")

Factor out that code into a common helper and use it for static call
reloc generation as well.

1e7e478838 x86/static_call: Add inline static call implementation for x86-64
Add the inline static call implementation for x86-64. The generated code
is identical to the out-of-line case, except we move the trampoline into
it's own section.

Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call
sites. It then annotates those call sites in the .static_call_sites
section.

During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call
directly into the destination function.  The temporary trampoline is
then no longer used.

f197422263 objtool: Rename rela to reloc
Before supporting additional relocation types rename the relevant
types and functions from "rela" to "reloc". This work be done with
the following regex:

  sed -e 's/struct rela/struct reloc/g' \
      -e 's/\([_\*]\)rela\(s\{0,1\}\)/\1reloc\2/g' \
      -e 's/tmprela\(s\{0,1\}\)/tmpreloc\1/g' \

      -e 's/rela =/reloc =/g' \

      -e 's/relas\[/relocs[/g' \
      -e 's/relaname =/relocname =/g' \
      -e 's/= rela\;/= reloc\;/g' \
      -e 's/= relas\;/= relocs\;/g' \
      -e 's/= relaname\;/= relocname\;/g' \
      -e 's/, rela)/, reloc)/g' \
      -e 's/\([ @]\)rela\([ "]\)/\1reloc\2/g' \
      -e 's/ rela$/ reloc/g' \
      -e 's/, relaname/, relocname/g' \
      -e 's/sec->rela/sec->reloc/g' \
      -e 's/(\(!\{0,1\}\)rela/(\1reloc/g' \
      -i \
      arch.h \
      arch/x86/decode.c  \
      check.c \
      check.h \
      elf.c \
      elf.h \
      orc_gen.c \
      special.c

Notable exceptions which complicate the regex include gelf_*
library calls and standard/expected section names which still use
"rela" because they encode the type of relocation expected. Also, keep
"rela" in the struct because it encodes a specific type of relocation
we currently expect.

It will eventually turn into a member of an anonymous union when a
susequent patch adds implicit addend, or "rel", relocation support.

34f7c96d96 objtool: Optimize !vmlinux.o again
When doing kbuild tests to see if the objtool changes affected those I

  real    1m13.594        1m16.488s
  user    34m58.246s      35m23.947s
  sys     4m0.393s        4m27.312s

Perf showed that for small files the increased hash-table sizes were a
measurable difference. Since we already have -l "vmlinux" to
distinguish between the modes, make it also use a smaller portion of
the hash-tables.

This flips it into a small win:

8b5fa6bc32 objtool: Optimize read_sections()
Perf showed that __hash_init() is a significant portion of
read_sections(), so instead of doing a per section rela_hash, use an
elf-wide rela_hash.

Statistics show us there are about 1.1 million relas, so size it
accordingly.

This reduces the objtool on vmlinux.o runtime to a third, from 15 to 5
seconds.

22566c1603 objtool: Fix segfault in .cold detection with -ffunction-sections
Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as
read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects
the result of find_symbol_by_name().  In the case where a ".cold"
function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a
function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function
length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a
segfault in add_switch_table().  The effects of this bug are only
visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS.

Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.

bcb6fb5da7 objtool: Support GCC 9 cold subfunction naming scheme
Starting with GCC 8, a lot of unlikely code was moved out of line to
"cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely.

For example, the unlikely bits of:

  irq_do_set_affinity()

are moved out to the following subfunction:

  irq_do_set_affinity.cold.49()

Starting with GCC 9, the numbered suffix has been removed.  So in the
above example, the cold subfunction is instead:

  irq_do_set_affinity.cold()

Tweak the objtool subfunction detection logic so that it detects both
GCC 8 and GCC 9 naming schemes.

4a60aa05a0 objtool: Support per-function rodata sections
Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple
.rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and
'-fdata-sections'.  Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump
table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable
instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled
using those flags.

The fix is comprised of three parts:

1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for
   easier checking later.

2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order
   to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section.

3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections,
   rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section.

The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no
differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen.

Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the
unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and
a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests
that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least
making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

08b393d01c objtool: Support GCC 8 '-fnoreorder-functions'
Since the following commit:

  cd77849a69 ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions")

... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions',
objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop.

That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text
instead of .text.unlikely.  But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the
symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside
the parent (nmi_panic).

That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an
infinite loop in next_insn_same_func().  Here's Allan's description of
the loop:

  "Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using
  next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it
  jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since
  the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic
  objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528
  after reaching 0x534."

Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the
functions no longer overlap.

97dab2ae7e objtool: Fix object file corruption
Arnd Bergmann reported that a randconfig build was failing with the
following link error:

  built-in.o: member arch/x86/kernel/time.o in archive is not an object

It turns out the link failed because the time.o file had been corrupted
by objtool:

  nm: arch/x86/kernel/time.o: File format not recognized

In certain rare cases, when a .o file's ORC table is very small, the
.data section size doesn't change because it's page aligned.  Because
all the existing sections haven't changed size, libelf doesn't detect
any section header changes, and so it doesn't update the section header
table properly.  Instead it writes junk in the section header entries
for the new ORC sections.

Make sure libelf properly updates the section header table by setting
the ELF_F_DIRTY flag in the top level elf struct.

df968c9329 objtool: Do not retrieve data from empty sections
Binutils 2.29-9 in Debian return an error when elf_getdata is invoked
on empty section (.note.GNU-stack in all kernel files), causing
immediate failure of kernel build with:

  elf_getdata: can't manipulate null section

As nothing is done with sections that have zero size, just do not
retrieve their data at all.

Let's free the allocated char array 'relaname' before returning,
in order to avoid leaking memory.

627fce1480 objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation
Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each
instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder
to use.

Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is
more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder.  See
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.
