<title>objtool: Fix '-mtune=atom' decoding support in objtool 2.0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:deecd4d71b12626db48544faa66bb897e2cafd07</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Most of the changes are for tooling, the main changes in this cycle were:

   - Improve Intel-PT hardware tracing support, both on the kernel and
     on the tooling side: PTWRITE instruction support, power events for
     C-state tracing, etc. (Adrian Hunter)

   - Add support to measure SMI cost to the x86 architecture, with
     tooling support in 'perf stat' (Kan Liang)

   - Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace', plus related
     improvements (Namhyung Kim)

   - Allow adding and removing fields to the default 'perf script'
     columns, using + or - as field prefixes to do so (Andi Kleen)

   - Allow resolving the DSO name with 'perf script -F brstack{sym,off},dso'
     (Mark Santaniello)

   - Add perf tooling unwind support for PowerPC (Paolo Bonzini)

   - ... and various other improvements as well"

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.

<title>objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1091c7fa3d52ebce4dd3f15d04155b3469b2f90</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>objtool: Fix IRET's opcode</title>

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.

<title>objtool: Fix bytes check of lea's rex_prefix</title>

<content type='text'>
For the "lea %(rsp), %rbp" case, we check if there is a rex_prefix.
But we check 'bytes' which is insn_byte_t[4] in rex_prefix (insn_field
structure). Therefore, the check is always true.

Instead, check 'nbytes' which is the right one.

<title>objtool: Support '-mtune=atom' stack frame setup instruction</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2cc17fda94c5ee8c64c2fdc2ef981fc277e2e958</id>
<content type='text'>
Arnd reported that enabling CONFIG_MATOM results in a bunch of objtool
false positive frame pointer warnings:

  arch/x86/events/intel/ds.o: warning: objtool: intel_pmu_pebs_del()+0x43: call without frame pointer save/setup
  security/keys/keyring.o: warning: objtool: keyring_read()+0x59: call without frame pointer save/setup
  kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: __dequeue_signal()+0xd8: call without frame pointer save/setup
  ...

objtool gets confused by the fact that the '-mtune=atom' GCC option
sometimes uses 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' instead of 'mov %rsp,%rbp'.  The
instructions are effectively the same, but objtool doesn't know about
the 'lea' variant.

Fix the false warnings by adding support for 'lea (%rsp),%rbp' in the
objtool decoder.

This fixes the following warning:

  Warning: objtool: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel

Unfortunately we have three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder in the kernel tree that have to be manually kept in sync.

It's on my TODO list to at least library-ize the ones in the tools
subdir so we'd only have two of them instead of three.  In the meantime,
here's another manual sync.
