commit 4abff6d48dbcea8200c7ea35ba70c242d128ebf3 upstream.
Occasionally objtool driven code patching (think .static_call_sites
.retpoline_sites etc..) goes sideways and it tries to patch an
instruction that doesn't match.
Much head-scatching and cursing later the problem is as outlined below
and affects every section that objtool generates for us, very much
including the ORC data. The below uses .static_call_sites because it's
convenient for demonstration purposes, but as mentioned the ORC
sections, .retpoline_sites and __mount_loc are all similarly affected.
Consider:
foo-weak.c:
extern void __SCT__foo(void);
__attribute__((weak)) void foo(void)
{
return __SCT__foo();
}
foo.c:
extern void __SCT__foo(void);
extern void my_foo(void);
void foo(void)
{
my_foo();
return __SCT__foo();
}
These generate the obvious code
(gcc -O2 -fcf-protection=none -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -c foo*.c):
foo-weak.o:
0000000000000000 <foo>:
0: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 5 <foo+0x5> 1: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
foo.o:
0000000000000000 <foo>:
0: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <foo+0x9> 5: R_X86_64_PLT32 my_foo-0x4
9: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp
d: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 12 <foo+0x12> e: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
Now, when we link these two files together, you get something like
(ld -r -o foos.o foo-weak.o foo.o):
foos.o:
0000000000000000 <foo-0x10>:
0: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 5 <foo-0xb> 1: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
5: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
f: 90 nop
0000000000000010 <foo>:
10: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
14: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 19 <foo+0x9> 15: R_X86_64_PLT32 my_foo-0x4
19: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp
1d: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 22 <foo+0x12> 1e: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
Noting that ld preserves the weak function text, but strips the symbol
off of it (hence objdump doing that funny negative offset thing). This
does lead to 'interesting' unused code issues with objtool when ran on
linked objects, but that seems to be working (fingers crossed).
So far so good.. Now lets consider the objtool static_call output
section (readelf output, old binutils):
foo-weak.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x2c8 contains 1 entry:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000200000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 .text + 0
0000000000000004 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
foo.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x310 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000200000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 .text + d
0000000000000004 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
foos.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x430 contains 4 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000100000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 .text + 0
0000000000000004 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
0000000000000008 0000000100000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 .text + 1d
000000000000000c 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
So we have two patch sites, one in the dead code of the weak foo and one
in the real foo. All is well.
*HOWEVER*, when the toolchain strips unused section symbols it
generates things like this (using new enough binutils):
foo-weak.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x2c8 contains 1 entry:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000200000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 foo + 0
0000000000000004 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
foo.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x310 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000200000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 foo + d
0000000000000004 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
foos.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x430 contains 4 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000100000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 foo + 0
0000000000000004 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
0000000000000008 0000000100000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 foo + d
000000000000000c 0000000d00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 __SCT__foo + 1
And now we can see how that foos.o .static_call_sites goes side-ways, we
now have _two_ patch sites in foo. One for the weak symbol at foo+0
(which is no longer a static_call site!) and one at foo+d which is in
fact the right location.
This seems to happen when objtool cannot find a section symbol, in which
case it falls back to any other symbol to key off of, however in this
case that goes terribly wrong!
As such, teach objtool to create a section symbol when there isn't
one.
