2025-03-17objtool: Create backup on error and print argsJosh Poimboeuf
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.

2025-03-17objtool: Remove --unret dependency on --rethunkJosh Poimboeuf
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.

2022-11-18objtool: Add --mnop as an option to --mcountSathvika Vasireddy
Some architectures (powerpc) may not support ftrace locations being nop'ed out at build time. Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_OBJTOOL_NOP_MCOUNT for objtool, as a means for architectures to enable nop'ing of ftrace locations. Add --mnop as an option to objtool --mcount, to indicate support for the same. Also, make sure that --mnop can be passed as an option to objtool only when --mcount is passed. Tested-by: Naveen N.

2022-11-01objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbolsPeter Zijlstra
When code is compiled with: -fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES} functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders and other things that symbolize code locations will typically attribute these bytes to the preceding function. Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this mis-attribution is confusing. Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do the same. Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

2022-06-27objtool: Add entry UNRET validationPeter Zijlstra
Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET instruction. Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0. This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END. If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be reported. There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances: - UNTRAIN_RET itself - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
2022-04-22objtool: Remove --lto and --vmlinux in favor of --linkJosh Poimboeuf
The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is also redundant. Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which identifies a linked object. Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for manual vmlinux runs.

Full disclosure: while this has _not_ been in linux-next (since it initially looked like the objtool dependencies weren't going to make v5.12), it has been under daily build and runtime testing by Sami for quite some time. These x86 portions have been discussed on lkml, with Peter, Josh, and others helping nail things down. The bulk of the changes are to get objtool working happily.

2021-02-23objtool: Split noinstr validation from --vmlinuxSami Tolvanen
This change adds a --noinstr flag to objtool to allow us to specify that we're processing vmlinux.o without also enabling noinstr validation. This is needed to avoid false positives with LTO when we run objtool on vmlinux.o without CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY. Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>
2021-02-23objtool: Don't autodetect vmlinux.oSami Tolvanen

2021-01-13objtool: Rework header include pathsVasily Gorbik
Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage: #include "warn.h" #include "arch_elf.h" it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from. To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have to revert to including via ../ e.g: #include "../../elf.h" With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons: 1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files), 2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is /usr/include/elf.h already), 3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability. 4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging scheme. Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from? #include <objtool/warn.h> #include <arch/elf.h> And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h. #include <objtool/elf.h> This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging scheme. Which is: - all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux) - all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel exports). To bring objtool to this state the following things are done: 1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into include/objtool/ subdirectory, 2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix, 3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible, 4. rewriting file includes, 5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

2020-05-20objtool: Enable compilation of objtool for all architecturesMatt Helsley
Objtool currently only compiles for x86 architectures. This is fine as it presently does not support tooling for other architectures. However, we would like to be able to convert other kernel tools to run as objtool sub commands because they too process ELF object files. This will allow us to convert tools such as recordmcount to use objtool's ELF code. Since much of recordmcount's ELF code is copy-paste code to/from a variety of other kernel tools (look at modpost for example) this means that if we can convert recordmcount we can convert more. We define weak definitions for subcommand entry functions and other weak definitions for shared functions critical to building existing subcommands. These return 127 when the command is missing which signify tools that do not exist on all architectures. In this case the "check" and "orc" tools do not exist on all architectures so we only add them for x86. Future changes adding support for "check", to arm64 for example, can then modify the SUBCMD_CHECK variable when building for arm64. Objtool is not currently wired in to KConfig to be built for other architectures because it's not needed for those architectures and there are no commands it supports other than those for x86. As more command support is enabled on various architectures the necessary KConfig changes can be made (e.g. adding "STACK_VALIDATION") to trigger building objtool.

2020-04-22objtool: Implement noinstr validationPeter Zijlstra
Validate that any call out of .noinstr.text is in between instr_begin() and instr_end() annotations. This annotation is useful to ensure correct behaviour wrt tracing sensitive code like entry/exit and idle code. When we run code in a sensitive context we want a guarantee no unknown code is ran. Since this validation relies on knowing the section of call destination symbols, we must run it on vmlinux.o instead of on individual object files. Add two options: -d/--duplicate "duplicate validation for vmlinux" -l/--vmlinux "vmlinux.o validation" Where the latter auto-detects when objname ends with "vmlinux.o" and the former will force all validations, also those already done on !vmlinux object files.

2019-04-03objtool: Add UACCESS validationPeter Zijlstra
It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible; furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be ran with UACCESS enabled. Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__() and __preempt_schedule() calls. Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction; therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers are not normal functions).
