<id>urn:sha1:18c311e14325f745a0eacfe798d8d8352491378a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 90ceddcb495008ac8ba7a3dce297841efcd7d584 upstream.

Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy. The existing
'file format' and 'architecture' parsing logic is brittle and does not
work with llvm-objcopy/llvm-objdump.

'file format' output of llvm-objdump&gt;=11 will match GNU objdump, but
'architecture' (bfdarch) may not.

.BTF in .tmp_vmlinux.btf is non-SHF_ALLOC. Add the SHF_ALLOC flag
because it is part of vmlinux image used for introspection. C code
can reference the section via linker script defined __start_BTF and
__stop_BTF. This fixes a small problem that previous .BTF had the
SHF_WRITE flag (objcopy -I binary -O elf* synthesized .data).

Additionally, `objcopy -I binary` synthesized symbols
_binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start and _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_stop (not
used elsewhere) are replaced with more commonplace __start_BTF and
__stop_BTF.

Add 2&gt;/dev/null because GNU objcopy (but not llvm-objcopy) warns
"empty loadable segment detected at vaddr=0xffffffff81000000, is this intentional?"

We use a dd command to change the e_type field in the ELF header from
ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld will accept .btf.vmlinux.bin.o.  Accepting
ET_EXEC as an input file is an extremely rare GNU ld feature that lld
does not intend to support, because this is error-prone.

The output section description .BTF in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
avoids potential subtle orphan section placement issues and suppresses
--orphan-handling=warn warnings.

Fixes: df786c9b9476 ("bpf: Force .BTF section start to zero when dumping from vmlinux")
Fixes: cb0cc635c7a9 ("powerpc: Include .BTF section")

Selecting CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF results in the below warning from ld:
  ld: warning: orphan section `.BTF' from `.btf.vmlinux.bin.o' being placed in section `.BTF'

Include .BTF section in vmlinux explicitly to fix the same.

In order to ease stack overflow detection, align
stack to 2 * THREAD_SIZE when using VMAP_STACK.
This allows overflow detection using a single bit check.

<id>urn:sha1:ec556271bbb33809b73cdb238f8cb357345908e8</id>
<content type='text'>
The Program Header identifiers are internal to the linker scripts. In
preparation for moving the NOTES segment declaration into RO_DATA,
standardize the identifier for the PT_NOTE entry to "note" as used by
all other architectures that emit PT_NOTE.

Note that there was discussion about changing all architectures to use
"notes" instead, but I prefer to avoid that at this time. Changing only
powerpc is the smallest change to standardize the entire kernel. And
while this standardization does use singular "note" for a section that
has more than one note in it, this is just an internal identifier. It
matches the ELF "PT_NOTE", and is 4 characters (like "text", and "data")
for pretty alignment. The more exposed macro, "NOTES", use the more
sensible plural wording.
