Fix the following Clang enum conversion warning:
arch/x86/decode.c:141:20: error: implicit conversion from enumeration
type 'enum op_src_type' to different enumeration
type 'enum op_dest_type' [-Werror,-Wenum-conversion]
op->dest.type = OP_SRC_REG;
~ ^~~~~~~~~~
It just happened to work before because OP_SRC_REG and OP_DEST_REG have
the same value.

The kbuild bot reported the following warning with GCC 4.4 and a
randconfig:
net/socket.o: warning: objtool: compat_sock_ioctl()+0x1083: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+160 cfa2=-1+0
This is caused by another GCC non-optimization, where it backs up and
restores the stack pointer for no apparent reason:
2f91: 48 89 e0 mov %rsp,%rax
2f94: 4c 89 e7 mov %r12,%rdi
2f97: 4c 89 f6 mov %r14,%rsi
2f9a: ba 20 00 00 00 mov $0x20,%edx
2f9f: 48 89 c4 mov %rax,%rsp
This issue would have been happily ignored before the following commit:
dd88a0a0c861 ("objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug")
But now that objtool is paying attention to such stack pointer writes
to/from a register, it needs to understand them properly. In this case
that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is
potentially a backup of the stack pointer.

Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1:
fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96
And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1:
fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x182: return with modified stack frame
fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128
fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120
Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it
uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer. It does:
lea 0x8(%rsp), %rcx
...
mov %rcx, %rsp
Instead of the obvious:
add $0x8, %rsp
It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug
to track it:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813
But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be
stuck with this issue for a while. So for now we have to track register
values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets.
This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie.
I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of
objtool's functionality. Hopefully at that point we'll be able to
remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.

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.

drivers/watchdog/digicolor_wdt.o: warning: objtool: dc_wdt_get_timeleft() falls through to next function dc_wdt_restart()
When GCC 7 detects a potential divide-by-zero condition, it sometimes
inserts a UD2 instruction for the case where the divisor is zero,
instead of letting the hardware trap on the divide instruction.
Objtool doesn't consider UD2 to be fatal unless it's annotated with
unreachable(). So it considers the GCC-generated UD2 to be non-fatal,
and it tries to follow the control flow past the UD2 and gets
confused.
Previously, objtool *did* assume UD2 was always a dead end. That
changed with the following commit:
d1091c7fa3d5 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends")
The motivation behind that change was that Peter was planning on using
UD2 for __WARN(), which is *not* a dead end. However, it turns out
that some emulators rely on UD2 being fatal, so he ended up using
'ud0' instead:
9a93848fe787 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")
For GCC 4.5+, it should be safe to go back to the previous assumption
that UD2 is fatal, even when it's not annotated with unreachable().
But for pre-4.5 versions of GCC, the unreachable() macro isn't
supported, so such cases of UD2 need to be explicitly annotated as
reachable.

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.

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.

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

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.

The pcommit instruction is being deprecated in favor of either ADR
(asynchronous DRAM refresh: flush-on-power-fail) at the platform level, or
posted-write-queue flush addresses as defined by the ACPI 6.x NFIT (NVDIMM
Firmware Interface Table).

When running objtool on a ppc64le host to analyze x86 binaries, it
reports a lot of false warnings like:
ipc/compat_mq.o: warning: objtool: compat_SyS_mq_open()+0x91: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x3a5
The warnings are caused by the x86 instruction decoder setting the wrong
value for the jump instruction's immediate field because it assumes that
"char == signed char", which isn't true for all architectures. When
converting char to int, gcc sign-extends on x86 but doesn't sign-extend
on ppc64le.
According to the gcc man page, that's a feature, not a bug:
> Each kind of machine has a default for what "char" should be. It is
> either like "unsigned char" by default or like "signed char" by
> default.
>
> Ideally, a portable program should always use "signed char" or
> "unsigned char" when it depends on the signedness of an object.
Conform to the "standards" by changing the "char" casts to "signed
char". This results in no actual changes to the object code on x86.
Note: the x86 decoder now lives in three different locations in the
kernel tree, which are all kept in sync via makefile checks and
warnings: in-kernel, perf, and objtool. This fixes all three locations.
Eventually we should probably try to at least converge the two separate
"tools" locations into a single shared location.

This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata. It enforces
a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
traces can be reliable.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.
Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:
a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels
Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes. They allow runtime
code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
code.
For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. For some other architectures they may be
required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").
For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.
But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
hand, which most people don't do. So the end result is that
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.
For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
and update the frame pointer. If a first function doesn't properly
create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.
For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
pointers enabled:
[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
seq_read().
If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
what it looks like instead:
[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
skipped. Instead the stack trace seems to show that
cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().
The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
*all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
be skipped on a stack trace.
[*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
destroyed. This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.
b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels
This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
c) Higher live patching compatibility rate
This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:
1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
function type. In asm code, this is typically done using the
ENTRY/ENDPROC macros. If objtool finds a return instruction
outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
callable code which should be annotated accordingly.
This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.
2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
be annotated as an ELF function. The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
in this case.
This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.
3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
the architecture's back chain rules. This can by done in asm code
with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.
This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
designed. If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
trace.
4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:
a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or
b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
the same value it had on function entry.
This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
function's code paths. If a function jumps to code in another file,
and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
because it only analyzes a single file at a time.
5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.
This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
return normally.
It currently only supports x86_64. I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.
On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time. It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.
