When kernel IBT is enabled, objtool detects all text references in order to determine which functions can be indirectly branched to. In text, such references look like one of the following: mov $0x0,%rax R_X86_64_32S .init.text+0x7e0a0 lea 0x0(%rip),%rax R_X86_64_PC32 autoremove_wake_function-0x4 Either way the function pointer is denoted by a relocation, so objtool just reads that. However there are some "lea xxx(%rip)" cases which don't use relocations because they're referencing code in the same translation unit. Objtool doesn't have visibility to those. The only currently known instances of that are a few hand-coded asm text references which don't actually need ENDBR. So it's not actually a problem at the moment. However if we enable -fpie, the compiler would start generating them and there would definitely be bugs in the IBT sealing. Detect non-relocated text references and handle them appropriately. [ Note: I removed the manual static_call_tramp check -- that should already be handled by the noendbr check. ] Reported-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Tested-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
