arm64: Force position-independent veneers

2024-11-08T15:21:58Z

[ Upstream commit 9abe390e689f4f5c23c5f507754f8678431b4f72 ] Certain portions of code always need to be position-independent regardless of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, including code which is executed in an idmap or which is executed before relocations are applied. In some kernel configurations the LLD linker generates position-dependent veneers for such code, and when executed these result in early boot-time failures. Marc Zyngier encountered a boot failure resulting from this when building a (particularly cursed) configuration with LLVM, as he reported to the list: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/86wmjwvatn.wl-maz@kernel.org/ In Marc's kernel configuration, the .head.text and .rodata.text sections end up more than 128MiB apart, requiring a veneer to branch between the two: | [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% usekorg 14.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -t vmlinux | grep -w _text | ffff800080000000 g .head.text 0000000000000000 _text | [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% usekorg 14.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -t vmlinux | grep -w primary_entry | ffff8000889df0e0 g .rodata.text 000000000000006c primary_entry, ... consequently, LLD inserts a position-dependent veneer for the branch from _stext (in .head.text) to primary_entry (in .rodata.text): | ffff800080000000 <_text>: | ffff800080000000: fa405a4d ccmp x18, #0x0, #0xd, pl // pl = nfrst | ffff800080000004: 14003fff b ffff800080010000 <__AArch64AbsLongThunk_primary_entry> ... | ffff800080010000 <__AArch64AbsLongThunk_primary_entry>: | ffff800080010000: 58000050 ldr x16, ffff800080010008 <__AArch64AbsLongThunk_primary_entry+0x8> | ffff800080010004: d61f0200 br x16 | ffff800080010008: 889df0e0 .word 0x889df0e0 | ffff80008001000c: ffff8000 .word 0xffff8000 ... and as this is executed early in boot before the kernel is mapped in TTBR1 this results in a silent boot failure. Fix this by passing '--pic-veneer' to the linker, which will cause the linker to use position-independent veneers, e.g. | ffff800080000000 <_text>: | ffff800080000000: fa405a4d ccmp x18, #0x0, #0xd, pl // pl = nfrst | ffff800080000004: 14003fff b ffff800080010000 <__AArch64ADRPThunk_primary_entry> ... | ffff800080010000 <__AArch64ADRPThunk_primary_entry>: | ffff800080010000: f004e3f0 adrp x16, ffff800089c8f000 <__idmap_text_start> | ffff800080010004: 91038210 add x16, x16, #0xe0 | ffff800080010008: d61f0200 br x16 I've opted to pass '--pic-veneer' unconditionally, as: * In addition to solving the boot failure, these sequences are generally nicer as they require fewer instructions and don't need to perform data accesses. * While the position-independent veneer sequences have a limited +/-2GiB range, this is not a new restriction. Even kernels built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n are limited to 2GiB in size as we have several structues using 32-bit relative offsets and PPREL32 relocations, which are similarly limited to +/-2GiB in range. These include extable entries, jump table entries, and alt_instr entries. * GNU LD defaults to using position-independent veneers, and supports the same '--pic-veneer' option, so this change is not expected to adversely affect GNU LD. I've tested with GNU LD 2.30 to 2.42 inclusive and LLVM 13.0.1 to 19.1.0 inclusive, using the kernel.org binaries from: * https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ * https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/ Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Reported-by: Marc Zyngier Cc: Ard Biesheuvel Cc: Nathan Chancellor Cc: Nick Desaulniers Cc: Will Deacon Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240927101838.3061054-1-mark.rutland@arm.com Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

arm64: link with -z norelro for LLD or aarch64-elf

2021-01-12T19:18:24Z

commit 311bea3cb9ee20ef150ca76fc60a592bf6b159f5 upstream. With GNU binutils 2.35+, linking with BFD produces warnings for vmlinux: aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: -z norelro ignored BFD can produce this warning when the target emulation mode does not support RELRO program headers, and -z relro or -z norelro is passed. Alan Modra clarifies: The default linker emulation for an aarch64-linux ld.bfd is -maarch64linux, the default for an aarch64-elf linker is -maarch64elf. They are not equivalent. If you choose -maarch64elf you get an emulation that doesn't support -z relro. The ARCH=arm64 kernel prefers -maarch64elf, but may fall back to -maarch64linux based on the toolchain configuration. LLD will always create RELRO program header regardless of target emulation. To avoid the above warning when linking with BFD, pass -z norelro only when linking with LLD or with -maarch64linux.

kbuild: Hoist '--orphan-handling' into Kconfig

2020-12-01T13:45:36Z

Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1). To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN. To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this config.

kbuild: preprocess module linker script

2020-09-24T15:36:41Z

There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512) The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by 'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created by 'make modules_prepare'. You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by 'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from scripts/module.lds.S. scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the build artifacts under scripts/. You can add arch-specific sections in .
