objtool: Support unoptimized frame pointer setup

2017-09-28T05:25:54+00:00

Arnd Bergmann reported a bunch of warnings like:

  crypto/jitterentropy.o: warning: objtool: jent_fold_time()+0x3b: call without frame pointer save/setup
  crypto/jitterentropy.o: warning: objtool: jent_stuck()+0x1d: call without frame pointer save/setup

  crypto/jitterentropy.o: warning: objtool: jent_entropy_collector_free()+0x19: call without frame pointer save/setup

and

  arch/x86/events/core.o: warning: objtool: collect_events uses BP as a scratch register
  arch/x86/events/core.o: warning: objtool: events_ht_sysfs_show()+0x22: call without frame pointer save/setup

With certain rare configurations, GCC sometimes sets up the frame
pointer with:

  lea    (%rsp),%rbp

instead of:

  mov    %rsp,%rbp

The instructions are equivalent, so treat the former like the latter.

objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bug

2017-09-23T13:06:19+00:00

The kbuild bot reported the following warning with GCC 4.4 and a
randconfig:

  net/socket.o: warning: objtool: compat_sock_ioctl()+0x1083: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+160 cfa2=-1+0

This is caused by another GCC non-optimization, where it backs up and
restores the stack pointer for no apparent reason:

    2f91:       48 89 e0                mov    %rsp,%rax
    2f94:       4c 89 e7                mov    %r12,%rdi
    2f97:       4c 89 f6                mov    %r14,%rsi
    2f9a:       ba 20 00 00 00          mov    $0x20,%edx
    2f9f:       48 89 c4                mov    %rax,%rsp

This issue would have been happily ignored before the following commit:

  dd88a0a0c861 ("objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug")

But now that objtool is paying attention to such stack pointer writes
to/from a register, it needs to understand them properly.  In this case
that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is
potentially a backup of the stack pointer.

objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug

2017-08-30T08:48:41+00:00

Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1:

  fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96

And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1:

  fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x182: return with modified stack frame
  fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128
  fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120

Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it
uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer.  It does:

  lea    0x8(%rsp), %rcx
  ...
  mov    %rcx, %rsp

Instead of the obvious:

  add    $0x8, %rsp

It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug
to track it:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813

But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be
stuck with this issue for a while.  So for now we have to track register
values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets.

This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie.
I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of
objtool's functionality.  Hopefully at that point we'll be able to
remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.

objtool: Fix '-mtune=atom' decoding support in objtool 2.0

2017-07-28T06:33:32+00:00

With '-mtune=atom', which is enabled with CONFIG_MATOM=y, GCC uses some
unusual instructions for setting up the stack.

Instead of:

  mov %rsp, %rbp

it does:

  lea (%rsp), %rbp

And instead of:

  add imm, %rsp

it does:

  lea disp(%rsp), %rsp

Add support for these instructions to the objtool decoder.

objtool: Assume unannotated UD2 instructions are dead ends

2017-07-28T06:33:32+00:00

Arnd reported some false positive warnings with GCC 7:

  drivers/hid/wacom_wac.o: warning: objtool: wacom_bpt3_touch()+0x2a5: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=6+16
  drivers/iio/adc/vf610_adc.o: warning: objtool: vf610_adc_calculate_rates() falls through to next function vf610_adc_sample_set()

  drivers/watchdog/digicolor_wdt.o: warning: objtool: dc_wdt_get_timeleft() falls through to next function dc_wdt_restart()

When GCC 7 detects a potential divide-by-zero condition, it sometimes
inserts a UD2 instruction for the case where the divisor is zero,
instead of letting the hardware trap on the divide instruction.

Objtool doesn't consider UD2 to be fatal unless it's annotated with
unreachable().  So it considers the GCC-generated UD2 to be non-fatal,
and it tries to follow the control flow past the UD2 and gets
confused.

Previously, objtool *did* assume UD2 was always a dead end.  That
changed with the following commit:

  d1091c7fa3d5 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends")

The motivation behind that change was that Peter was planning on using
UD2 for __WARN(), which is *not* a dead end.  However, it turns out
that some emulators rely on UD2 being fatal, so he ended up using
'ud0' instead:

  9a93848fe787 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")

For GCC 4.5+, it should be safe to go back to the previous assumption
that UD2 is fatal, even when it's not annotated with unreachable().

But for pre-4.5 versions of GCC, the unreachable() macro isn't
supported, so such cases of UD2 need to be explicitly annotated as
reachable.

objtool: Implement stack validation 2.0

2017-06-30T08:19:19+00:00

This is a major rewrite of objtool.  Instead of only tracking frame
pointer changes, it now tracks all stack-related operations, including
all register saves/restores.

In addition to making stack validation more robust, this also paves the
way for undwarf generation.

objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends

2017-02-24T08:10:52+00:00

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.

On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction.  When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.

Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'.  That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.

Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway.  The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.

So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro.  The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section.  Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

objtool: Fix IRET's opcode

The IRET opcode is 0xcf according to the Intel manual and also to objdump of my
vmlinux:

    1ea8:       48 cf                   iretq

Fix the opcode in arch_decode_instruction().

The previous value (0xc5) seems to correspond to LDS.
