objtool: Fix rare switch jump table pattern detection

2016-10-27T06:20:27Z

The following commit: 3732710ff6f2 ("objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection") ... improved objtool's ability to detect GCC switch statement jump tables for GCC 6. However the check to allow short jumps with the scanned range of instructions wasn't quite right. The pattern detection should allow jumps to the indirect jump instruction itself. This fixes the following warning: drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x315: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: 3732710ff6f2 ("objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161026153408.2rifnw7bvoc5sex7@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernels

2016-10-16T07:12:36Z

Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction" warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC. Usually this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't understand. But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions really are inaccessible. It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings. With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced by them. But GCC 6 has gotten craftier. Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger, more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole file when gcov is enabled. This is fine to do because a) unreachable warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.

objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection

2016-10-16T07:12:35Z

GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes objtool's life harder. It looks like: mov [rodata addr],%reg1 ... some instructions ... jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8) The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow paths related to the switch statement. In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first instruction in the pattern. If it encounters an unconditional jump along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found. As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are small forward jumps within the range being scanned. This fixes the following warnings: drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

objtool: Add do_task_dead() to global noreturn list

2016-09-23T05:28:05Z

objtool reports the following new warning: kernel/exit.o: warning: objtool: do_exit() falls through to next function complete_and_exit() The warning is caused by do_exit()'s new call to do_task_dead(), which is a new "noreturn" function which objtool doesn't know about yet, introduced by: 9af6528ee9b6 ("sched/core: Optimize __schedule()") ( objtool has to know all the global noreturn functions so it can follow the control flow of any functions which call them. Unfortunately they need to be hard-coded because there's no automated way to detect them. ) Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: kbuild-all@01.org Cc: tipbuild@zytor.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160922212125.zbuewckqll4yur25@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

objtool: Support new GCC 6 switch jump table pattern

2016-07-29T14:56:21Z

This fixes some false positive objtool warnings seen with gcc 6.1.1: kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: warning: objtool: ring_buffer_read_page()+0x36c: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer arch/x86/kernel/reboot.o: warning: objtool: native_machine_emergency_restart()+0x139: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.o: warning: objtool: xz_dec_run()+0xc2: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer With GCC 6, a new code pattern is sometimes used to access a switch statement jump table in .rodata, which objtool doesn't yet recognize: mov [rodata addr],%reg1 ... some instructions ... jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8) Add support for detecting that pattern. The detection code is rather crude, but it's still effective at weeding out false positives and catching real warnings. It can be refined later once objtool starts reading DWARF CFI.

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2016-07-25T20:20:41Z

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work concentrated on the tooling side (as it should). The main kernel side enhancements were: - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible: $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use. This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use. There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery (Kan Liang) - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch work) (Dave Hansen) - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen) - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang) - ... other misc changes. Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details): - Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do: $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation (He Kuang) - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan) - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu) - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan) - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay) - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa) - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter, Andi Kleen) - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan) - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini) - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa) - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the kernel (Andi Kleen)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ...

objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro checking for function symbols

2016-07-10T15:15:58Z

Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in the lttng-modules code. Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a reference to a section symbol like this: Offset Type Value Addend Name 000000000000000000 X86_64_64 000000000000000000 +3136 .text But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol: Offset Type Value Addend Name 000000000000000000 X86_64_64 0x00000000000003a0 +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the other. But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.

objtool: Detect falling through to the next function

2016-04-16T09:14:17Z

There are several cases in compiled C code where a function may not return at the end, and may instead fall through to the next function. That may indicate a bug in the code, or a gcc bug, or even an objtool bug. But in each case, objtool reports an unhelpful warning, something like: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch Detect this situation and print a more useful error message: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_host_fabric_name() falls through to next function qla2x00_get_starget_node_name() Also add some information about this warning and its potential causes to the documentation.
