arm64: scripts/sorttable: Implement sorting mcount_loc at boot for arm64 The mcount_loc section holds the addresses of the functions that get patched by ftrace when enabling function callbacks. It can contain tens of thousands of entries. These addresses must be sorted. If they are not sorted at compile time, they are sorted at boot. Sorting at boot does take some time and does have a small impact on boot performance. x86 and arm32 have the addresses in the mcount_loc section of the ELF file. But for arm64, the section just contains zeros. The .rela.dyn Elf_Rela section holds the addresses and they get patched at boot during the relocation phase. In order to sort these addresses, the Elf_Rela needs to be updated instead of the location in the binary that holds the mcount_loc section. Have the sorttable code, allocate an array to hold the functions, load the addresses from the Elf_Rela entries, sort them, then put them back in order into the Elf_rela entries so that they will be sorted at boot up without having to sort them during boot up.

All accesses to the Elf structure fields are done through helper function pointers. If the file being parsed if for a 64 bit architecture, all the helper functions point to the 64 bit versions to retrieve the Elf fields. The same is true if the architecture is 32 bit, where the function pointers will point to the 32 bit helper functions. Note, when the value of a field can be either 32 bit or 64 bit, a 64 bit is always returned, as it works for the 32 bit code as well.

scripts/sorttable: Have mcount rela sort use direct values The mcount_loc sorting for when the values are stored in the Elf_Rela entries uses the compare_extable() function to do the compares in the qsort(). That function does handle byte swapping if the machine being compiled for is a different endian than the host machine. But the sort_relocs() function sorts an array that pulled in the values from the Elf_Rela section and has already done the swapping. Create two new compare functions that will sort the direct values. One will sort 32 bit values and the other will sort the 64 bit value. One of these will be assigned to a compare_values function pointer and that will be used for sorting the Elf_Rela mcount values.

scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table When a function is annotated as "weak" and is overridden, the code is not removed. If it is traced, the fentry/mcount location in the weak function will be referenced by the "__mcount_loc" section. This will then be added to the available_filter_functions list. Since only the address of the functions are listed, to find the name to show, a search of kallsyms is used. Since kallsyms will return the function by simply finding the function that the address is after but before the next function, an address of a weak function will show up as the function before it. This is because kallsyms does not save names of weak functions. This has caused issues in the past, as now the traced weak function will be listed in available_filter_functions with the name of the function before it. At best, this will cause the previous function's name to be listed twice. At worse, if the previous function was marked notrace, it will now show up as a function that can be traced. Note that it only shows up that it can be traced but will not be if enabled, which causes confusion. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220412094923.0abe90955e5db486b7bca279@kernel.org/ The commit b39181f7c6907 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function") was a workaround to this by checking the function address before printing its name. If the address was too far from the function given by the name then instead of printing the name it would print: __ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset> The real issue is that these invalid addresses are listed in the ftrace table look up which available_filter_functions is derived from. A place holder must be listed in that file because set_ftrace_filter may take a series of indexes into that file instead of names to be able to do O(1) lookups to enable filtering (many tools use this method). Even if kallsyms saved the size of the function, it does not remove the need of having these place holders. The real solution is to not add a weak function into the ftrace table in the first place. To solve this, the sorttable.c code that sorts the mcount regions during the build is modified to take a "nm -S vmlinux" input, sort it, and any function listed in the mcount_loc section that is not within a boundary of the function list given by nm is considered a weak function and is zeroed out.

scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table When a function is annotated as "weak" and is overridden, the code is not removed. If it is traced, the fentry/mcount location in the weak function will be referenced by the "__mcount_loc" section. This will then be added to the available_filter_functions list. Since only the address of the functions are listed, to find the name to show, a search of kallsyms is used. Since kallsyms will return the function by simply finding the function that the address is after but before the next function, an address of a weak function will show up as the function before it. This is because kallsyms does not save names of weak functions. This has caused issues in the past, as now the traced weak function will be listed in available_filter_functions with the name of the function before it. At best, this will cause the previous function's name to be listed twice. At worse, if the previous function was marked notrace, it will now show up as a function that can be traced. Note that it only shows up that it can be traced but will not be if enabled, which causes confusion. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220412094923.0abe90955e5db486b7bca279@kernel.org/ The commit b39181f7c6907 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function") was a workaround to this by checking the function address before printing its name. If the address was too far from the function given by the name then instead of printing the name it would print: __ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset> The real issue is that these invalid addresses are listed in the ftrace table look up which available_filter_functions is derived from. A place holder must be listed in that file because set_ftrace_filter may take a series of indexes into that file instead of names to be able to do O(1) lookups to enable filtering (many tools use this method). Even if kallsyms saved the size of the function, it does not remove the need of having these place holders. The real solution is to not add a weak function into the ftrace table in the first place. To solve this, the sorttable.c code that sorts the mcount regions during the build is modified to take a "nm -S vmlinux" input, sort it, and any function listed in the mcount_loc section that is not within a boundary of the function list given by nm is considered a weak function and is zeroed out. Note, this does not mean they will remain zero when booting as KASLR will still shift those addresses. To handle this, the entries in the mcount_loc section will be ignored if they are zero or match the kaslr_offset() value.

arm64: scripts/sorttable: Implement sorting mcount_loc at boot for arm64 The mcount_loc section holds the addresses of the functions that get patched by ftrace when enabling function callbacks. It can contain tens of thousands of entries. These addresses must be sorted. If they are not sorted at compile time, they are sorted at boot. Sorting at boot does take some time and does have a small impact on boot performance. x86 and arm32 have the addresses in the mcount_loc section of the ELF file. But for arm64, the section just contains zeros. The .rela.dyn Elf_Rela section holds the addresses and they get patched at boot during the relocation phase. In order to sort these addresses, the Elf_Rela needs to be updated instead of the location in the binary that holds the mcount_loc section. Have the sorttable code, allocate an array to hold the functions, load the addresses from the Elf_Rela entries, sort them, then put them back in order into the Elf_rela entries so that they will be sorted at boot up without having to sort them during boot up.

scripts/sorttable: Have mcount rela sort use direct values The mcount_loc sorting for when the values are stored in the Elf_Rela entries uses the compare_extable() function to do the compares in the qsort(). That function does handle byte swapping if the machine being compiled for is a different endian than the host machine. But the sort_relocs() function sorts an array that pulled in the values from the Elf_Rela section and has already done the swapping. Create two new compare functions that will sort the direct values. One will sort 32 bit values and the other will sort the 64 bit value. One of these will be assigned to a compare_values function pointer and that will be used for sorting the Elf_Rela mcount values.

scripts/sorttable: Always use an array for the mcount_loc sorting The sorting of the mcount_loc section is done directly to the section for x86 and arm32 but it uses a separate array for arm64 as arm64 has the values for the mcount_loc stored in the rela sections of the vmlinux ELF file. In order to use the same code to remove weak functions, always use a separate array to do the sorting. This requires splitting up the filling of the array into one function and the placing the contents of the array back into the rela sections or into the mcount_loc section into a separate file.

scripts/sorttable: Move code from sorttable.h into sorttable.c Instead of having the main code live in a header file and included twice with MACROs that define the Elf structures for 64 bit or 32 bit, move the code in the C file now that the Elf structures are defined in a union that has both. All accesses to the Elf structure fields are done through helper function pointers. If the file being parsed if for a 64 bit architecture, all the helper functions point to the 64 bit versions to retrieve the Elf fields. The same is true if the architecture is 32 bit, where the function pointers will point to the 32 bit helper functions. Note, when the value of a field can be either 32 bit or 64 bit, a 64 bit is always returned, as it works for the 32 bit code as well. This makes the code easier to read and maintain, and it now all exists in sorttable.c and sorttable.h may be removed.

scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table When a function is annotated as "weak" and is overridden, the code is not removed. If it is traced, the fentry/mcount location in the weak function will be referenced by the "__mcount_loc" section. This will then be added to the available_filter_functions list. Since only the address of the functions are listed, to find the name to show, a search of kallsyms is used. Since kallsyms will return the function by simply finding the function that the address is after but before the next function, an address of a weak function will show up as the function before it. This is because kallsyms does not save names of weak functions. This has caused issues in the past, as now the traced weak function will be listed in available_filter_functions with the name of the function before it. At best, this will cause the previous function's name to be listed twice. At worse, if the previous function was marked notrace, it will now show up as a function that can be traced. Note that it only shows up that it can be traced but will not be if enabled, which causes confusion. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220412094923.0abe90955e5db486b7bca279@kernel.org/ The commit b39181f7c6907 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function") was a workaround to this by checking the function address before printing its name. If the address was too far from the function given by the name then instead of printing the name it would print: __ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset> The real issue is that these invalid addresses are listed in the ftrace table look up which available_filter_functions is derived from. A place holder must be listed in that file because set_ftrace_filter may take a series of indexes into that file instead of names to be able to do O(1) lookups to enable filtering (many tools use this method). Even if kallsyms saved the size of the function, it does not remove the need of having these place holders. The real solution is to not add a weak function into the ftrace table in the first place. To solve this, the sorttable.c code that sorts the mcount regions during the build is modified to take a "nm -S vmlinux" input, sort it, and any function listed in the mcount_loc section that is not within a boundary of the function list given by nm is considered a weak function and is zeroed out. Note, this does not mean they will remain zero when booting as KASLR will still shift those addresses. To handle this, the entries in the mcount_loc section will be ignored if they are zero or match the kaslr_offset() value.

arm64: scripts/sorttable: Implement sorting mcount_loc at boot for arm64 The mcount_loc section holds the addresses of the functions that get patched by ftrace when enabling function callbacks. It can contain tens of thousands of entries. These addresses must be sorted. If they are not sorted at compile time, they are sorted at boot. Sorting at boot does take some time and does have a small impact on boot performance. x86 and arm32 have the addresses in the mcount_loc section of the ELF file. But for arm64, the section just contains zeros. The .rela.dyn Elf_Rela section holds the addresses and they get patched at boot during the relocation phase. In order to sort these addresses, the Elf_Rela needs to be updated instead of the location in the binary that holds the mcount_loc section. Have the sorttable code, allocate an array to hold the functions, load the addresses from the Elf_Rela entries, sort them, then put them back in order into the Elf_rela entries so that they will be sorted at boot up without having to sort them during boot up.

scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table When a function is annotated as "weak" and is overridden, the code is not removed. If it is traced, the fentry/mcount location in the weak function will be referenced by the "__mcount_loc" section. This will then be added to the available_filter_functions list. Since only the address of the functions are listed, to find the name to show, a search of kallsyms is used. Since kallsyms will return the function by simply finding the function that the address is after but before the next function, an address of a weak function will show up as the function before it. This is because kallsyms does not save names of weak functions. This has caused issues in the past, as now the traced weak function will be listed in available_filter_functions with the name of the function before it. At best, this will cause the previous function's name to be listed twice. At worse, if the previous function was marked notrace, it will now show up as a function that can be traced. Note that it only shows up that it can be traced but will not be if enabled, which causes confusion. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220412094923.0abe90955e5db486b7bca279@kernel.org/ The commit b39181f7c6907 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function") was a workaround to this by checking the function address before printing its name. If the address was too far from the function given by the name then instead of printing the name it would print: __ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset> The real issue is that these invalid addresses are listed in the ftrace table look up which available_filter_functions is derived from. A place holder must be listed in that file because set_ftrace_filter may take a series of indexes into that file instead of names to be able to do O(1) lookups to enable filtering (many tools use this method). Even if kallsyms saved the size of the function, it does not remove the need of having these place holders. The real solution is to not add a weak function into the ftrace table in the first place. To solve this, the sorttable.c code that sorts the mcount regions during the build is modified to take a "nm -S vmlinux" input, sort it, and any function listed in the mcount_loc section that is not within a boundary of the function list given by nm is considered a weak function and is zeroed out. Note, this does not mean they will remain zero when booting as KASLR will still shift those addresses. To handle this, the entries in the mcount_loc section will be ignored if they are zero or match the kaslr_offset() value.

arm64: extable: add `type` and `data` fields Subsequent patches will add specialized handlers for fixups, in addition to the simple PC fixup and BPF handlers we have today. In preparation, this patch adds a new `type` field to struct exception_table_entry, and uses this to distinguish the fixup and BPF cases. A `data` field is also added so that subsequent patches can associate data specific to each exception site (e.g. register numbers). Handlers are named ex_handler_*() for consistency, following the exmaple of x86. At the same time, get_ex_fixup() is split out into a helper so that it can be used by other ex_handler_*() functions ins subsequent patches. This patch will increase the size of the exception tables, which will be remedied by subsequent patches removing redundant fixup code. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. Since each entry is now 12 bytes in size, we must reduce the alignment of each entry from `.align 3` (i.e. 8 bytes) to `.align 2` (i.e. 4 bytes), which is the natrual alignment of the `insn` and `fixup` fields. The current 8-byte alignment is a holdover from when the `insn` and `fixup` fields was 8 bytes, and while not harmful has not been necessary since commit: 6c94f27ac847ff8e ("arm64: switch to relative exception tables") Similarly, RO_EXCEPTION_TABLE_ALIGN is dropped to 4 bytes. Concurrently with this patch, x86's exception table entry format is being updated (similarly to a 12-byte format, with 32-bytes of absolute data). Once both have been merged it should be possible to unify the sorttable logic for the two.

But for arm64, the section just contains zeros. The .rela.dyn Elf_Rela section holds the addresses and they get patched at boot during the relocation phase. In order to sort these addresses, the Elf_Rela needs to be updated instead of the location in the binary that holds the mcount_loc section. Have the sorttable code, allocate an array to hold the functions, load the addresses from the Elf_Rela entries, sort them, then put them back in order into the Elf_rela entries so that they will be sorted at boot up without having to sort them during boot up.

scripts/sorttable: Move code from sorttable.h into sorttable.c Instead of having the main code live in a header file and included twice with MACROs that define the Elf structures for 64 bit or 32 bit, move the code in the C file now that the Elf structures are defined in a union that has both. All accesses to the Elf structure fields are done through helper function pointers. If the file being parsed if for a 64 bit architecture, all the helper functions point to the 64 bit versions to retrieve the Elf fields. The same is true if the architecture is 32 bit, where the function pointers will point to the 32 bit helper functions. Note, when the value of a field can be either 32 bit or 64 bit, a 64 bit is always returned, as it works for the 32 bit code as well. This makes the code easier to read and maintain, and it now all exists in sorttable.c and sorttable.h may be removed.

scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table When a function is annotated as "weak" and is overridden, the code is not removed. If it is traced, the fentry/mcount location in the weak function will be referenced by the "__mcount_loc" section. This will then be added to the available_filter_functions list. Since only the address of the functions are listed, to find the name to show, a search of kallsyms is used. Since kallsyms will return the function by simply finding the function that the address is after but before the next function, an address of a weak function will show up as the function before it. This is because kallsyms does not save names of weak functions. This has caused issues in the past, as now the traced weak function will be listed in available_filter_functions with the name of the function before it. At best, this will cause the previous function's name to be listed twice. At worse, if the previous function was marked notrace, it will now show up as a function that can be traced. Note that it only shows up that it can be traced but will not be if enabled, which causes confusion. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220412094923.0abe90955e5db486b7bca279@kernel.org/ The commit b39181f7c6907 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function") was a workaround to this by checking the function address before printing its name. If the address was too far from the function given by the name then instead of printing the name it would print: __ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset> The real issue is that these invalid addresses are listed in the ftrace table look up which available_filter_functions is derived from. A place holder must be listed in that file because set_ftrace_filter may take a series of indexes into that file instead of names to be able to do O(1) lookups to enable filtering (many tools use this method). Even if kallsyms saved the size of the function, it does not remove the need of having these place holders. The real solution is to not add a weak function into the ftrace table in the first place. To solve this, the sorttable.c code that sorts the mcount regions during the build is modified to take a "nm -S vmlinux" input, sort it, and any function listed in the mcount_loc section that is not within a boundary of the function list given by nm is considered a weak function and is zeroed out. Note, this does not mean they will remain zero when booting as KASLR will still shift those addresses. To handle this, the entries in the mcount_loc section will be ignored if they are zero or match the kaslr_offset() value.
