Starting with Rust 1.86.0 (see upstream commit b151b513ba2b ("Insert null
checks for pointer dereferences when debug assertions are enabled") [1]),
under some kernel configurations with `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`,
one may trigger a new `objtool` warning:
rust/kernel.o: warning: objtool: _R..._6kernel9workqueue6system()
falls through to next function _R...9workqueue14system_highpri()
due to a call to the `noreturn` symbol:
core::panicking::panic_null_pointer_dereference

ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE adds additional noise to the code generated

Remove the annotation specifically for the "NOP patched with CLAC/STAC"

Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_SYSCALL and INSN_SYSRET that
almost works by accident: if it's in a function, control flow continues
after the instruction, otherwise it terminates.
That behavior should instead be based on the semantics of the underlying
instruction. Change INSN_SYSCALL to always preserve control flow and
INSN_SYSRET to always terminate it.
The changed semantic for INSN_SYSCALL requires a tweak to the
!CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION version of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat(). In Xen,
SYSCALL is a hypercall which usually returns. But in this case it's a
hypercall to IRET which doesn't return. Add UD2 to tell objtool to
terminate control flow, and to prevent undefined behavior at runtime.

INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH is ambiguous. It can represent both call semantics
(SYSCALL, SYSENTER) and return semantics (SYSRET, IRET, RETS, RETU).
Those differ significantly: calls preserve control flow whereas returns
terminate it.
Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH that almost works
by accident: if in a function, keep going; otherwise stop. It should
instead be based on the semantics of the underlying instruction.
In preparation for improving that, split INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH into
INSN_SYCALL and INSN_SYSRET.
No functional change.

The !CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION version of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat() ends
with a SYSCALL instruction which is classified by objtool as
INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH.
Unlike validate_branch(), validate_unret() doesn't consider
INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH in a non-function to be a dead end, so it keeps
going past the end of xen_entry_SYSCALL_compat(), resulting in the
following warning:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: xen_reschedule_interrupt+0x2a: RET before UNTRAIN
Fix that by adding INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH handling to validate_unret() to
match what validate_branch() is already doing.

Objtool writes several object annotations which are used to enable
critical kernel runtime functionalities like static calls and
retpoline/rethunk patching.
In the rare case where it fails to read or write an object, the
annotations don't get written, causing runtime code patching to fail and
code to become corrupted.
Due to the catastrophic nature of such warnings, convert them to errors
which fail the build regardless of CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.

When KCOV or GCOV is enabled, dead code can be left behind, in which
case objtool silences unreachable and undefined behavior (fallthrough)
warnings.
Fallthrough warnings, and their variant "end of section" warnings, were
silenced with the following commit:
6b023c7842 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings")
Another variant of a fallthrough warning is a jump to the end of a
function. If that function happens to be at the end of a section, the
jump destination doesn't actually exist.
Normally that would be a fatal objtool error, but for KCOV/GCOV it's
just another undefined behavior fallthrough. Silence it like the
others.

If opts.uaccess isn't set, the uaccess validation is disabled, but only
partially: it doesn't read the uaccess_safe_builtin list but still tries
to do the validation. Disable it completely to prevent false warnings.

In the past there were issues with KCOV triggering unreachable
instruction warnings, which is why unreachable warnings are now disabled
with CONFIG_KCOV.
Now some new KCOV warnings are showing up with GCC 14:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cpuset_write_resmask() falls through to next function cpuset_update_active_cpus.cold()
drivers/usb/core/driver.o: error: objtool: usb_deregister() falls through to next function usb_match_device()
sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-wcd934x.o: warning: objtool: .text.wcd934x_slim_irq_handler: unexpected end of section
All are caused by GCC KCOV not finishing an optimization, leaving behind
a never-taken conditional branch to a basic block which falls through to
the next function (or end of section).
At a high level this is similar to the unreachable warnings mentioned
above, in that KCOV isn't fully removing dead code. Treat it the same
way by adding these to the list of warnings to ignore with CONFIG_KCOV.

If IBT is enabled and a module uses the deprecated init_module() magic
function name rather than module_init(fn), its ENDBR will get removed,
causing an IBT failure during module load.
Objtool does print an obscure warning, but then does nothing to either
correct it or return an error.
Improve the usefulness of the warning and return an error so it will at
least fail the build with CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.

For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC,
uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible
code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't.
However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is
patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like
static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated.
Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either
original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach
which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the
insn->ignore bit.

arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: do_user_addr_fault+0x8ec: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

The jump table detection code assumes jump tables are in the same order
as their corresponding indirect branches. That's apparently not always
true with Clang 20.
Fix that by changing how multiple jump tables are detected. In the
first detection pass, mark the beginning of each jump table so the
second pass can tell where one ends and the next one begins.

Recreating objtool errors can be a manual process. Kbuild removes the
object, so it has to be compiled or linked again before running objtool.
Then the objtool args need to be reversed engineered.
Make that all easier by automatically making a backup of the object file
on error, and print a modified version of the args which can be used to
recreate.

With unret validation enabled and IBT/LTO disabled, objtool runs on TUs
with --rethunk and on vmlinux.o with --unret. So this dependency isn't
valid as they don't always run on the same object.
This error never triggered before because --unret is always coupled with
--noinstr, so the first conditional in opts_valid() returns early due to
opts.noinstr being true.

Increase the per-function WARN_FUNC() rate limit from 1 to 2. If the
number of warnings for a given function goes beyond 2, print "skipping
duplicate warning(s)". This helps root out additional warnings in a
function that might be hiding behind the first one.

The CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 version of exc_double_fault() can return to its
caller, but the !CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 version never does. In the latter
case the compiler and/or objtool may consider it to be implicitly
noreturn.
However, due to the currently inflexible way objtool detects noreturns,
a function's noreturn status needs to be consistent across configs.
The current workaround for this issue is to suppress unreachable
warnings for exc_double_fault()'s callers. Unfortunately that can
result in ORC coverage gaps and potentially worse issues like inert
static calls and silently disabled CPU mitigations.
Instead, prevent exc_double_fault() from ever being implicitly marked
noreturn by forcing a return behind a never-taken conditional.
Until a more integrated noreturn detection method exists, this is likely
the least objectionable workaround.

The objtool program need to analysis the control flow of each object file
generated by compiler toolchain, it needs to know all the locations that
a branch instruction may jump into, if a jump table is used, objtool has
to correlate the jump instruction with the table.
On x86 (which is the only port supported by objtool before LoongArch),
there is a relocation type on the jump instruction and directly points
to the table. But on LoongArch, the relocation is on another kind of
instruction prior to the jump instruction, and also with scheduling it
is not very easy to tell the offset of that instruction from the jump
instruction. Furthermore, because LoongArch has -fsection-anchors (often
enabled at -O1 or above) the relocation may actually points to a section
anchor instead of the table itself.
For the jump table of switch cases, a GCC patch "LoongArch: Add support
to annotate tablejump" and a Clang patch "[LoongArch] Add options for
annotate tablejump" have been merged into the upstream mainline, it can
parse the additional section ".discard.tablejump_annotate" which stores
the jump info as pairs of addresses, each pair contains the address of
jump instruction and the address of jump table.
For the jump table of computed gotos, it is indeed not easy to implement
in the compiler, especially if there is more than one computed goto in a
function such as ___bpf_prog_run(). objdump kernel/bpf/core.o shows that
there are many table jump instructions in ___bpf_prog_run(), but there are
no relocations on the table jump instructions and to the table directly on
LoongArch.
Without the help of compiler, in order to figure out the address of goto
table for the special case of ___bpf_prog_run(), since the instruction
sequence is relatively single and stable, it makes sense to add a helper
find_reloc_of_rodata_c_jump_table() to find the relocation which points
to the section ".rodata..c_jump_table".
If find_reloc_by_table_annotate() failed, it means there is no relocation
info of switch table address in ".rela.discard.tablejump_annotate", then
objtool may find the relocation info of goto table ".rodata..c_jump_table"
with find_reloc_of_rodata_c_jump_table().

The good news is that after continuous analysis and discussion, at last
a GCC patch "LoongArch: Add support to annotate tablejump" and a Clang
patch "[LoongArch] Add options for annotate tablejump" have been merged
into the upstream mainline, the compiler changes make life much easier
for switch table support of objtool on LoongArch.
By now, there is an additional section ".discard.tablejump_annotate" to
store the jump info as pairs of addresses, each pair contains the address
of jump instruction and the address of jump table.
In order to find switch table, it is easy to parse the relocation section
".rela.discard.tablejump_annotate" to get table_sec and table_offset, the
rest process is somehow like x86.
Additionally, it needs to get each table size. When compiling on LoongArch,
there are unsorted table offsets of rodata if there exist many jump tables,
it will get the wrong table end and find the wrong table jump destination
instructions in add_jump_table().
Sort the rodata table offset by parsing ".rela.discard.tablejump_annotate"
and then get each table size of rodata corresponded with each table jump
instruction, it is used to check the table end and will break the process
when parsing ".rela.rodata" to avoid getting the wrong jump destination
instructions.

For the most part, an absolute relocation type is used for rodata.
In the case of STT_SECTION, reloc->sym->offset is always zero, for
the other symbol types, reloc_addend(reloc) is always zero, thus it
can use a simple statement "reloc->sym->offset + reloc_addend(reloc)"
to obtain the symbol offset for various symbol types.
When compiling on LoongArch, there exist PC relative relocation types
for rodata, it needs to calculate the symbol offset with "S + A - PC"
according to the spec of "ELF for the LoongArch Architecture".
If there is only one jump table in the rodata, the "PC" is the entry
address which is equal with the value of reloc_offset(reloc), at this
time, reloc_offset(table) is 0.
If there are many jump tables in the rodata, the "PC" is the offset
of the jump table's base address which is equal with the value of
reloc_offset(reloc) - reloc_offset(table).
So for LoongArch, if the relocation type is PC relative, it can use a
statement "reloc_offset(reloc) - reloc_offset(table)" to get the "PC"
value when calculating the symbol offset with "S + A - PC" for one or
many jump tables in the rodata.
Add an arch-specific function arch_jump_table_sym_offset() to assign
the symbol offset, for the most part that is an absolute relocation,
the default value is "reloc->sym->offset + reloc_addend(reloc)" in
the weak definition, it can be overridden by each architecture that
has different requirements.

In the most cases, the entry size of rodata is 8 bytes because the
relocation type is 64 bit. There are also 32 bit relocation types,
the entry size of rodata should be 4 bytes in this case.
Add an arch-specific function arch_reloc_size() to assign the entry
size of rodata for x86, powerpc and LoongArch.

In the relocation section ".rela.rodata" of each .o file compiled with
LoongArch toolchain, there are various symbol types such as STT_NOTYPE,
STT_OBJECT, STT_FUNC in addition to the usual STT_SECTION, it needs to
use reloc symbol offset instead of reloc addend to find the destination
instruction in find_jump_table() and add_jump_table().
For the most part, an absolute relocation type is used for rodata. In the
case of STT_SECTION, reloc->sym->offset is always zero, and for the other
symbol types, reloc_addend(reloc) is always zero, thus it can use a simple
statement "reloc->sym->offset + reloc_addend(reloc)" to obtain the symbol
offset for various symbol types.
