There's a fun implementation detail on linking STB_WEAK symbols. When
the linker combines two translation units, where one contains a weak
function and the other an override for it. It simply strips the
STB_WEAK symbol from the symbol table, but doesn't actually remove the
code.
The result is that when objtool is ran in a whole-archive kind of way,
it will encounter *heaps* of unused (and unreferenced) code. All
rudiments of weak functions.
Additionally, when a weak implementation is split into a .cold
subfunction that .cold symbol is left in place, even though completely
unused.
Teach objtool to ignore such rudiments by searching for symbol holes;
that is, code ranges that fall outside the given symbol bounds.
Specifically, ignore a sequence of unreachable instruction iff they
occupy a single hole, additionally ignore any .cold subfunctions
referenced.
Both ld.bfd and ld.lld behave like this. LTO builds otoh can (and do)
properly DCE weak functions.

The ENQCMD instruction implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the
pasid field of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But
there is no precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which
the PASID_MSR is updated from the value for one task to the next.
Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction
which does not access the PASID_MSR.
Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel and warn on its
usage.

On GCC 12, the build fails due to a possible truncated string:
check.c: In function 'validate_call':
check.c:2865:58: error: '%d' directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size 9 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
2865 | snprintf(pvname, sizeof(pvname), "pv_ops[%d]", idx);
| ^~
In theory it's a valid bug:
static char pvname[16];
int idx;
...
idx = (rel->addend / sizeof(void *));
snprintf(pvname, sizeof(pvname), "pv_ops[%d]", idx);
There are only 7 chars for %d while it could take up to 9, so the
printed "pv_ops[%d]" string could get truncated.
In reality the bug should never happen, because pv_ops only has ~80
entries, so 7 chars for the integer is more than enough. Still, it's
worth fixing. Bump the buffer size by 2 bytes to silence the warning.

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
along the way.
The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
the stack.
Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
are the big successes for dead code removal this round.
A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
they were fixing.
There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
rebasing.
Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
removed. Issues where task->exit_code was examined with
signal->group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.
There are several loosely related changes included because I am
cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.
The original postings of these changes can be found at:

The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not
quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications. The low
byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal. While
kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function
exit status like -EPERM.
Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses.

There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.
Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.
Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.
As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Pull objtool updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Improve retpoline code patching by separating it from alternatives
which reduces memory footprint and allows to do better optimizations
in the actual runtime patching.
- Add proper retpoline support for x86/BPF
- Address noinstr warnings in x86/kvm, lockdep and paravirtualization
code
- Add support to handle pv_opsindirect calls in the noinstr analysis
- Classify symbols upfront and cache the result to avoid redundant
str*cmp() invocations.
- Add a CFI hash to reduce memory consumption which also reduces
runtime on a allyesconfig by ~50%
- Adjust XEN code to make objtool handling more robust and as a side
effect to prevent text fragmentation due to placement of the
hypercall page.

The libelf implementation from elftoolchain has a safety check in
gelf_update_rel[a] to check that the data corresponds to a section
that has type SHT_REL[A] [0]. If the relocation is updated before
the section header is updated with the proper type, this check
fails.
To fix this, update the section header first, before the relocations.
Previously, the section size was calculated in elf_rebuild_reloc_section
by counting the number of entries in the reloc_list. However, we
now need the size during elf_write so instead keep a running total
and add to it for every new relocation.

Commit e31694e0a7 ("objtool: Don't make .altinstructions writable")
aligned objtool-created and kernel-created .altinstructions section
flags, but there remains a minor discrepency in their use of a section
entry size: objtool sets one while the kernel build does not.
While sh_entsize of sizeof(struct alt_instr) seems intuitive, this small
deviation can cause failures with external tooling (kpatch-build).
Fix this by creating new .altinstructions sections with sh_entsize of 0
and then later updating sec->sh_size as alternatives are added to the
section. An added benefit is avoiding the data descriptor and buffer
created by elf_create_section(), but previously unused by
elf_add_alternative().

The objtool warning that the kvm instruction emulation code triggered
wasn't very useful:
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception
in that it helpfully tells you which symbol name it had trouble figuring
out the relocation for, but it doesn't actually say what the unknown
symbol type was that triggered it all.
In this case it was because of missing type information (type 0, aka
STT_NOTYPE), but on the whole it really should just have printed that
out as part of the message.
Because if this warning triggers, that's very much the first thing you
want to know - why did reloc2sec_off() return failure for that symbol?
So rather than just saying you can't handle some type of symbol without
saying what the type _was_, just print out the type number too.

Occasionally objtool encounters symbol (as opposed to section)
relocations in .altinstructions. Typically they are the alternatives
written by elf_add_alternative() as encountered on a noinstr
validation run on vmlinux after having already ran objtool on the
individual .o files.
Basically this is the counterpart of commit 44f6a7c075 ("objtool:
Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols"), because when these new
assemblers (binutils now also does this) strip the section symbols,
elf_add_reloc_to_insn() is forced to emit symbol based relocations.
As such, teach get_alt_entry() about different relocation types.

Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need.
However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an
indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to
another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in
entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr
validation didn't work with paravirt kernels.
In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static
pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array,
provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like:
bf87: 48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x0(%rip)
bf92 <xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f>
bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_ops+0x268
There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/
Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are
now subject to noinstr validation.

Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.
This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.
Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

The asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() function is required to push the return
value on the stack in order to make ORC happy, but the only reason
objtool doesn't complain is because of a happy accident.
The thing is that asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() doesn't return, so
validate_branch() never terminates and falls through to the next
function, which in the normal case is the hypercall_page. And that, as
it happens, is 4095 NOPs and a RET.
Make asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() terminate on it's own, by making the
function it calls as a dead-end. This way we no longer rely on what
code happens to come after.

When an ELF object uses extended symbol section indexes (IOW it has a

symbol table (.symtab).
So for every new symbol we emit, make sure to also emit a
.symtab_shndx value to keep the arrays of equal size.
Note: since we're writing an UNDEF symbol, most GElf_Sym fields will
be 0 and we can repurpose one (st_size) to host the 0 for the xshndx
value.

Currently x86 cross-compilation fails on big endian system with:
x86_64-cross-ld: init/main.o: invalid string offset 488112128 >= 6229 for section `.strtab'
Mark new ELF data in elf_create_undef_symbol() as symbol, so that libelf
does endianness handling correctly.

When a jump_entry::key has bit1 set, rewrite the instruction to be a
NOP. This allows the compiler/assembler to emit JMP (and thus decide
on which encoding to use).
