arm64: fix .idmap.text assertion for large kernels
When building a kernel with many debug options enabled (which happens in test configurations use by myself and syzbot), the kernel can become large enough that portions of .text can be more than 128M away from .idmap.text (which is placed inside the .rodata section). Where idmap code branches into .text, the linker will place veneers in the .idmap.text section to make those branches possible. Unfortunately, as Ard reports, GNU LD has bseen observed to add 4K of padding when adding such veneers, e.g. | .idmap.text 0xffffffc01e48e5c0 0x32c arch/arm64/mm/proc.o | 0xffffffc01e48e5c0 idmap_cpu_replace_ttbr1 | 0xffffffc01e48e600 idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings | 0xffffffc01e48e800 __cpu_setup | *fill* 0xffffffc01e48e8ec 0x4 | .idmap.text.stub | 0xffffffc01e48e8f0 0x18 linker stubs | 0xffffffc01e48f8f0 __idmap_text_end = . | 0xffffffc01e48f000 . = ALIGN (0x1000) | *fill* 0xffffffc01e48f8f0 0x710 | 0xffffffc01e490000 idmap_pg_dir = . This makes the __idmap_text_start .. __idmap_text_end region bigger than the 4K we require it to fit within, and triggers an assertion in arm64's vmlinux.lds.S, which breaks the build: | LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 | aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: ID map text too big or misaligned | make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:35: vmlinux] Error 1 | make: *** [Makefile:1264: vmlinux] Error 2 Avoid this by using an `ADRP+ADD+BLR` sequence for branches out of .idmap.text, which avoids the need for veneers. These branches are only executed once per boot, and only when the MMU is on, so there should be no noticeable performance penalty in replacing `BL` with `ADRP+ADD+BLR`. At the same time, remove the "x" and "w" attributes when placing code in .idmap.text, as these are not necessary, and this will prevent the linker from assuming that it is safe to place PLTs into .idmap.text, causing it to warn if and when there are out-of-range branches within .idmap.text, e.g. | LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 | arch/arm64/kernel/head.o: in function `primary_entry': | (.idmap.text+0x1c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against symbol `dcache_clean_poc' defined in .text section in arch/arm64/mm/cache.o | arch/arm64/kernel/head.o: in function `init_el2': | (.idmap.text+0x88): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against symbol `dcache_clean_poc' defined in .text section in arch/arm64/mm/cache.o | make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1 | make: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2 Thus, if future changes add out-of-range branches in .idmap.text, it should be easy enough to identify those from the resulting linker errors.
