[PATCH 6.1 73/83] gcc-plugins/stackleak: Avoid .head.text section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e7d24c0aa8e678f41457d1304e2091cac6fd1a2e upstream.

The .head.text section carries the startup code that runs with the MMU
off or with a translation of memory that deviates from the ordinary one.
So avoid instrumentation with the stackleak plugin, which already avoids
.init.text and .noinstr.text entirely.

Fixes: 48204aba801f1b51 ("x86/sme: Move early SME kernel encryption handling into .head.text")
