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
c5b1184dec ("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.

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. ]

After commit a0f7085f6a ("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.

When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates more
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:
init/main.o: warning: objtool: unexpected relocation symbol type in .rela.discard.unreachable
We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section in
relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable', in this case, the reloc
sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION.
As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, we add a "local_label" member in struct
symbol, then set it as true if symbol type is STT_NOTYPE and symbol name
starts with ".L" string in classify_symbols().
Let's check reloc->sym->local_label to not return -1 in add_dead_ends(),
and also use reloc->sym->offset instead of reloc addend which is 0 to
find the corresponding instruction. At the same time, let's replace the
variable "addend" with "offset" to reflect the reality.

Objtool --rethunk does two things:
- it collects all (tail) call's of __x86_return_thunk and places them
into .return_sites. These are typically compiler generated, but
RET also emits this same.
- it fudges the validation of the __x86_return_thunk symbol; because
this symbol is inside another instruction, it can't actually find
the instruction pointed to by the symbol offset and gets upset.
Because these two things pertained to the same symbol, there was no
pressing need to separate these two separate things.
However, alas, along comes SRSO and more crazy things to deal with
appeared.
The SRSO patch itself added the following symbol names to identify as
rethunk:
'srso_untrain_ret', 'srso_safe_ret' and '__ret'
Where '__ret' is the old retbleed return thunk, 'srso_safe_ret' is a
new similarly embedded return thunk, and 'srso_untrain_ret' is
completely unrelated to anything the above does (and was only included
because of that INT3 vs UD2 issue fixed previous).
Clear things up by adding a second category for the embedded instruction
thing.

reloc" and "a reloc section". Change the latter to "rsec".

Unreachable instruction warnings are limited to once per object file.
That no longer makes sense for vmlinux validation, which might have
more unreachable instructions lurking in other places. Change it to
once per function.
Note this affects some other (much rarer) non-fatal warnings as well.
In general I think one-warning-per-function makes sense, as related
warnings can accumulate quickly and we want to eventually get back to
failing the build with -Werror anyway.

Some architectures like powerpc support both endianness, it's
therefore not possible to fix the endianness via arch/endianness.h
because there is no easy way to get the target endianness at
build time.
Use the endianness recorded in the file objtool is working on.

When moving a symbol in the symtab its index changes and any reloc
referring that symtol-table-index will need to be rewritten too.
In order to facilitate this, objtool simply marks the whole reloc
section 'changed' which will cause the whole section to be
re-generated.
However, finding the relocs that use any given symbol is implemented
rather crudely -- a fully iteration of all sections and their relocs.
Given that some builds have over 20k sections (kallsyms etc..)
iterating all that for *each* symbol moved takes a bit of time.
Instead have each symbol keep a list of relocs that reference it.
This *vastly* improves build times for certain configs.
