ARM randconfig builds with lld sometimes show a build failure
from kallsyms:
Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround
The problem is the veneers/thunks getting added by the linker extend
the symbol table, which in turn leads to more veneers being needed,
so it may take a few extra iterations to converge.
This bug has been fixed multiple times before, but comes back every time
a new symbol name is used. lld uses a different set of identifiers from
ld.bfd, so the additional ones need to be added as well.
I looked through the sources and found that arm64 and mips define similar
prefixes, so I'm adding those as well, aside from the ones I observed. I'm
not sure about powerpc64, which seems to already be handled through a
section match, but if it comes back, the "__long_branch_" and "__plt_"
prefixes would have to get added as well.

PowerPC allmodconfig often fails to build as follows:
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
KSYM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
KSYM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms3
KSYM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms3.o
LD vmlinux
SORTTAB vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround
make[2]: *** [../Makefile:1162: vmlinux] Error 1
Setting KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 does not help.
This is caused by the compiler inserting stubs such as *.long_branch.*
and *.plt_branch.*
$ powerpc-linux-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
[ snip ]
c00000000210c010 t 00000075.plt_branch.da9:19

...
Actually, the problem mentioned in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh comments;
"In theory it's possible this results in even more stubs, but unlikely"
is happening here, and ends up with another kallsyms step required.
scripts/kallsyms.c already ignores various compiler stubs. Let's do
similar to make kallsysms for PowerPC always succeed in 2 steps.

Add new folders arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/{vhe,nvhe} and Makefiles for building code
that runs in EL2 under VHE/nVHE KVM, repsectivelly. Add an include folder for
hyp-specific header files which will include code common to VHE/nVHE.
Build nVHE code with -D__KVM_NVHE_HYPERVISOR__, VHE code with
-D__KVM_VHE_HYPERVISOR__.
Under nVHE compile each source file into a `.hyp.tmp.o` object first, then
prefix all its symbols with "__kvm_nvhe_" using `objcopy` and produce
a `.hyp.o`. Suffixes were chosen so that it would be possible for VHE and nVHE
to share some source files, but compiled with different CFLAGS.
The nVHE ELF symbol prefix is added to kallsyms.c as ignored. EL2-only symbols
will never appear in EL1 stack traces.
Due to symbol prefixing, add a section in image-vars.h for aliases of symbols
that are defined in nVHE EL2 and accessed by kernel in EL1 or vice versa.

Due to a bug-report that was compiler-dependent, I updated one of my
machines to gcc-10. That shows a lot of new warnings. Happily they
seem to be mostly the valid kind, but it's going to cause a round of
churn for getting rid of them..
This is the really low-hanging fruit of removing a couple of zero-sized
arrays in some core code. We have had a round of these patches before,
and we'll have many more coming, and there is nothing special about
these except that they were particularly trivial, and triggered more
warnings than most.

There is the code in the read_symbol function in 'scripts/kallsyms.c':
if (is_ignored_symbol(name, type))
return NULL;
/* Ignore most absolute/undefined (?) symbols. */
if (strcmp(name, "_text") == 0)
_text = addr;
But the is_ignored_symbol function returns true for name="_text" and
type='A'. So the next condition is not executed and the _text variable
is always zero.
It makes the wrong kallsyms_relative_base symbol as a result of the code
(CONFIG_KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE is defined):
if (base_relative) {
output_label("kallsyms_relative_base");
output_address(relative_base);
printf("\n");
}
Because the output_address function uses the _text variable.
So the kallsyms_lookup function and all related functions in the kernel
do not work properly. For example, the stack trace in oops:

Since commit 5e5c4fa787 ("scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before

causes overflow when building the 32-bit kernel.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/7/156
This is because _text is, unless --all-symbols is specified, now
trimmed from the symbol table before record_relative_base() is called.
Handle the offset signedness also for kallsyms_relative_base. Introduce
a new helper, output_address(), to reduce the code duplication.

sym_entry::sym is (unsigned char *) instead of (char *) because
kallsyms exploits the MSB for compression, and the characters are
used as the index of token_profit array.
However, it requires casting (unsigned char *) to (char *) in some
places since standard library functions such as strcmp(), strlen()
expect (char *).
Introduce a new helper, sym_name(), which advances the given pointer
by 1 and casts it to (char *).

Currently, record_relative_base() iterates over the entire table to
find the minimum address, but it is not efficient because we sort
the table anyway.
After sort_symbol(), the table is sorted by address. (kallsyms parses
the 'nm -n' output, so the data is already sorted by address, but this
commit does not rely on it.)
Move record_relative_base() after sort_symbols(), and take the first
non-absolute symbol value.

As mentioned in the info pages of gas, the '.align' pseudo op's
interpretation of the alignment value is architecture specific.
It might either be a byte value or taken to the power of two.
On ARM it's actually the latter which leads to unnecessary large
alignments of 16 bytes for 32 bit builds or 256 bytes for 64 bit
builds.
Fix this by switching to '.balign' instead which is consistent

On arm64, the EFI stub and the kernel proper are essentially the same
binary, although the EFI stub executes at a different virtual address
as the kernel. For this reason, the EFI stub is restricted in the
symbols it can link to, which is ensured by prefixing all EFI stub
symbols with __efistub_ (and emitting __efistub_ prefixed aliases for
routines that may be shared between the core kernel and the stub)
These symbols are leaking into kallsyms, polluting the namespace, so
let's filter them explicitly.

0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d
Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored.
However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the
situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are
built with
'--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'.
In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported
by nm as:
000000000000000e n __efistub_$d
and by objdump as:
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d
Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address
calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which
in turn causes kallsyms to abort with
kallsyms failure:
relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode
The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI
enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.
Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug
symbols.

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit
vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel
where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs
being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at
runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following:
- introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS
- adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols
as references into the .rodata section
- making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols
by the section index (SHN_ABS)
- making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix

On ARM, the linker may emit veneers to deal with relative branch
instructions that appear too far away from their targets. Since the
second kallsyms pass results in an increase of the kernel size, it may
result in additional veneers to be emitted, potentially affecting the
output of kallsyms itself if these symbols are visible to it, and for
that reason, symbols whose names end in '_veneer' are ignored explicitly.
However, when building Thumb2 kernels, such veneers are named differently
if they also incur a mode switch, and since they are not filtered by
kallsyms, they may cause the build to fail. So filter symbols whose names
end in '_from_arm' or '_from_thumb' as well.

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.
On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.
Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.
Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

Commit c6bda7c988 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with
relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a
symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A
type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the
toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to
the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these
symbols should be updated as well.
For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute
(kindly provided by Guenter Roeck):
f035a420 A _etext
f03d9000 A _sdata
f03de8c4 A jiffies
f03f8860 A _edata
f03fc000 A __init_begin
f041bdc8 A __init_text_end
f0423000 A __bss_start
f0423000 A __init_end
f044457d A __bss_stop
f044457d A _end
On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed:
ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align
ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page
ffffffff81d3d000 A _end
Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results
in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it
is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated
at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is
perhaps not a good idea.
So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and
when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose
addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that
still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check
against the 'A' type.

When linking large kernels on ARM, the linker will insert veneers
(i.e., PLT like stubs) when function symbols are out of reach for
the ordinary relative branch/branch-and-link instructions.
However, due to the fact that the kallsyms region sits in .rodata,
which is between .text and .init.text, additional veneers may be
emitted in the second pass due to the fact that the size of the
kallsyms region itself has pushed the .init.text section further
apart, requiring even more veneers.
So ignore the veneers when generating the symbol table. Veneers
have no corresponding source code, and they will not turn up in
backtraces anyway.
This patch also lightly refactors the symbol_valid() function
to use a local 'sym_name' rather than the obfuscated 'sym + 1'
and 'sym + offset'

Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't
terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those
out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols.
Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it
to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly
complicated.
