In the presence of both weak and strong function definitions, the
linker drops the weak symbol in favor of a strong symbol, but
leaves the code in place. Code in ignore_unreachable_insn() has
some heuristics to suppress the warning, but it does not work when
-ffunction-sections is enabled.
Suppose function foo has both strong and weak definitions.
Case 1: The strong definition has an annotated section name,
like .init.text. Only the weak definition will be placed into
.text.foo. But since the section has no symbols, there will be no
"hole" in the section.
Case 2: Both sections are without an annotated section name.
Both will be placed into .text.foo section, but there will be only one
symbol (the strong one). If the weak code is before the strong code,
there is no "hole" as it fails to find the right-most symbol before
the offset.
The fix is to use the first node to compute the hole if hole.sym
is empty. If there is no symbol in the section, the first node
will be NULL, in which case, -1 is returned to skip the whole
section.

If one of the symbols processed by read_symbols() happens to have a
.cold variant with a name longer than objtool's MAX_NAME_LEN limit, the

Avoid this problem by just using strndup() to copy the parent function's

Function elf_open_read() only zero initializes the initial part of
allocated struct elf; num_relocs member was recently added outside the
zeroed part so that it was left uninitialized, resulting in build failures
on some systems.
The partial initialization is a relic of times when struct elf had large
hash tables embedded. This is no longer the case so remove the trap and
initialize the whole structure instead.

Objtool doesn't use DWARF at all, and the DWARF sections' data take up a
lot of memory. Skip reading them.
Note this only skips the DWARF base sections, not the rela sections.
The relas are needed because their symbol references may need to be
reindexed if any local symbols get added by elf_create_symbol().
Also note the DWARF data will eventually be read by libelf anyway, when
writing the object file. But that's fine, the goal here is to reduce
*peak* memory usage, and the previous patch (which freed insn memory)
gave some breathing room. So the allocation gets shifted to a later
time, resulting in lower peak memory usage.

The GElf_Rel[a] structs have more similarities than differences. It's
safe to hard-code the assumptions about their shared fields as they will

duplicated code.
Also, at least for now we only ever create rela sections, so simplify
the relocation creation code to be rela-only.

- The term "reloc" is overloaded to mean both "an instance of struct
reloc" and "a reloc section". Change the latter to "rsec".
- For variable names, use "sec" for regular sections and "rsec" for rela
sections to prevent them getting mixed up.
- For struct reloc variables, use "reloc" instead of "rel" everywhere
for consistency.

By using calloc() instead of malloc() in a loop, libc does not have to
keep around bookkeeping information for each single structure.
This reduces maximum memory usage while processing vmlinux.o from
3153325 KB to 3035668 KB (-3.7%) on my notebooks "localmodconfig".
Note this introduces memory leaks, because some additional structs get
added to the lists later after reading the symbols and sections from the
original object. Luckily we don't really care about memory leaks in

When moving a symbol in the symtab its index changes and any reloc
referring that symtol-table-index will need to be rewritten too.
In order to facilitate this, objtool simply marks the whole reloc
section 'changed' which will cause the whole section to be
re-generated.
However, finding the relocs that use any given symbol is implemented
rather crudely -- a fully iteration of all sections and their relocs.
Given that some builds have over 20k sections (kallsyms etc..)
iterating all that for *each* symbol moved takes a bit of time.
Instead have each symbol keep a list of relocs that reference it.
This *vastly* improves build times for certain configs.

When code is compiled with:
-fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES}
functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders
and other things that symbolize code locations will typically
attribute these bytes to the preceding function.
Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this
mis-attribution is confusing.
Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to
claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do
the same.
Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place
a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all
these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

Due to how gelf_update_sym*() requires an Elf_Data pointer, and how
libelf keeps Elf_Data in a linked list per section,
elf_update_symbol() ends up having to iterate this list on each
update to find the correct Elf_Data for the index'ed symbol.
By allocating one Elf_Data per new symbol, the list grows per new
symbol, giving an effective O(n^2) insertion time. This is obviously
bloody terrible.
Therefore over-allocate the Elf_Data when an extention is needed.
Except it turns out libelf disregards Elf_Scn::sh_size in favour of
the sum of Elf_Data::d_size. IOW it will happily write out all the
unused space and fill it with:
0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND
entries (aka zeros). Which obviously violates the STB_LOCAL placement
rule, and is a general pain in the backside for not being the desired
behaviour.
Manually fix-up the Elf_Data size to avoid this problem before calling
elf_update().
This significantly improves performance when adding a significant
number of symbols.

Nathan reported objtool failing with the following messages:
warning: objtool: no non-local symbols !?
warning: objtool: gelf_update_symshndx: invalid section index
The problem is due to commit 4abff6d48d ("objtool: Fix code relocs
vs weak symbols") failing to consider the case where an object would
have no non-local symbols.
The problem that commit tries to address is adding a STB_LOCAL symbol
to the symbol table in light of the ELF spec's requirement that:
In each symbol table, all symbols with STB_LOCAL binding preced the
weak and global symbols. As ``Sections'' above describes, a symbol
table section's sh_info section header member holds the symbol table
index for the first non-local symbol.
The approach taken is to find this first non-local symbol, move that
to the end and then re-use the freed spot to insert a new local symbol
and increment sh_info.
Except it never considered the case of object files without global
symbols and got a whole bunch of details wrong -- so many in fact that
it is a wonder it ever worked :/
Specifically:
- It failed to re-hash the symbol on the new index, so a subsequent
find_symbol_by_index() would not find it at the new location and a
query for the old location would now return a non-deterministic
choice between the old and new symbol.
- It failed to appreciate that the GElf wrappers are not a valid disk
format (it works because GElf is basically Elf64 and we only
support x86_64 atm.)
- It failed to fully appreciate how horrible the libelf API really is
and got the gelf_update_symshndx() call pretty much completely
wrong; with the direct consequence that if inserting a second
STB_LOCAL symbol would require moving the same STB_GLOBAL symbol
again it would completely come unstuck.
Write a new elf_update_symbol() function that wraps all the magic
required to update or create a new symbol at a given index.
Specifically, gelf_update_sym*() require an @ndx argument that is
relative to the @data argument; this means you have to manually
iterate the section data descriptor list and update @ndx.

The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack
validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now
that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is
also redundant.
Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which
identifies a linked object.
Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do
so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for
manual vmlinux runs.

Occasionally objtool driven code patching (think .static_call_sites
.retpoline_sites etc..) goes sideways and it tries to patch an
instruction that doesn't match.
Much head-scatching and cursing later the problem is as outlined below
and affects every section that objtool generates for us, very much
including the ORC data. The below uses .static_call_sites because it's
convenient for demonstration purposes, but as mentioned the ORC
sections, .retpoline_sites and __mount_loc are all similarly affected.
Consider:
foo-weak.c:
extern void __SCT__foo(void);
__attribute__((weak)) void foo(void)
{
return __SCT__foo();
}
foo.c:
extern void __SCT__foo(void);
extern void my_foo(void);
void foo(void)
{
my_foo();
return __SCT__foo();
}
These generate the obvious code
(gcc -O2 -fcf-protection=none -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -c foo*.c):
foo-weak.o:
0000000000000000 <foo>:
0: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 5 <foo+0x5> 1: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
foo.o:
0000000000000000 <foo>:
0: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <foo+0x9> 5: R_X86_64_PLT32 my_foo-0x4
9: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp
d: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 12 <foo+0x12> e: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
Now, when we link these two files together, you get something like
(ld -r -o foos.o foo-weak.o foo.o):
foos.o:
0000000000000000 <foo-0x10>:
0: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 5 <foo-0xb> 1: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
5: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
f: 90 nop
0000000000000010 <foo>:
10: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
14: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 19 <foo+0x9> 15: R_X86_64_PLT32 my_foo-0x4
19: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp
1d: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 22 <foo+0x12> 1e: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__foo-0x4
Noting that ld preserves the weak function text, but strips the symbol
off of it (hence objdump doing that funny negative offset thing). This
does lead to 'interesting' unused code issues with objtool when ran on
linked objects, but that seems to be working (fingers crossed).
So far so good.. Now lets consider the objtool static_call output
section (readelf output, old binutils):
foo-weak.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x2c8 contains 1 entry:

So we have two patch sites, one in the dead code of the weak foo and one
in the real foo. All is well.
*HOWEVER*, when the toolchain strips unused section symbols it
generates things like this (using new enough binutils):
foo-weak.o:
Relocation section '.rela.static_call_sites' at offset 0x2c8 contains 1 entry:

And now we can see how that foos.o .static_call_sites goes side-ways, we
now have _two_ patch sites in foo. One for the weak symbol at foo+0
(which is no longer a static_call site!) and one at foo+d which is in
fact the right location.
This seems to happen when objtool cannot find a section symbol, in which
case it falls back to any other symbol to key off of, however in this
case that goes terribly wrong!
As such, teach objtool to create a section symbol when there isn't
one.

There's a fun implementation detail on linking STB_WEAK symbols. When
the linker combines two translation units, where one contains a weak
function and the other an override for it. It simply strips the
STB_WEAK symbol from the symbol table, but doesn't actually remove the
code.
The result is that when objtool is ran in a whole-archive kind of way,
it will encounter *heaps* of unused (and unreferenced) code. All
rudiments of weak functions.
Additionally, when a weak implementation is split into a .cold
subfunction that .cold symbol is left in place, even though completely
unused.
Teach objtool to ignore such rudiments by searching for symbol holes;
that is, code ranges that fall outside the given symbol bounds.
Specifically, ignore a sequence of unreachable instruction iff they
occupy a single hole, additionally ignore any .cold subfunctions
referenced.
Both ld.bfd and ld.lld behave like this. LTO builds otoh can (and do)
properly DCE weak functions.

The libelf implementation from elftoolchain has a safety check in
gelf_update_rel[a] to check that the data corresponds to a section
that has type SHT_REL[A] [0]. If the relocation is updated before
the section header is updated with the proper type, this check
fails.
To fix this, update the section header first, before the relocations.
Previously, the section size was calculated in elf_rebuild_reloc_section
by counting the number of entries in the reloc_list. However, we
now need the size during elf_write so instead keep a running total
and add to it for every new relocation.

objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing
Nathan reported that LLVM ThinLTO builds have a performance regression
with commit 25cf0d8aa2 ("objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing"). Sami
was quick to note that this is due to their use of -ffunction-sections.
As a result the .text section is small and basing the number of relocs
off of that no longer works. Instead have read_sections() compute the
sum of all SHF_EXECINSTR sections and use that.

When an ELF object uses extended symbol section indexes (IOW it has a
.symtab_shndx section), these must be kept in sync with the regular
symbol table (.symtab).
So for every new symbol we emit, make sure to also emit a
.symtab_shndx value to keep the arrays of equal size.
Note: since we're writing an UNDEF symbol, most GElf_Sym fields will
be 0 and we can repurpose one (st_size) to host the 0 for the xshndx
value.

Currently objtool has 5 hashtables and sizes them 16 or 20 bits
depending on the --vmlinux argument.
However, a single side doesn't really work well for the 5 tables,
which among them, cover 3 different uses. Also, while vmlinux is
larger, there is still a very wide difference between a defconfig and
allyesconfig build, which again isn't optimally covered by a single
size.
Another aspect is the cost of elf_hash_init(), which for large tables
dominates the runtime for small input files. It turns out that all it
does it assign NULL, something that is required when using malloc().
However, when we allocate memory using mmap(), we're guaranteed to get
zero filled pages.
Therefore, rewrite the whole thing to:
1) use more dynamic sized tables, depending on the input file,
2) avoid the need for elf_hash_init() entirely by using mmap().
This speeds up a regular kernel build (100s to 98s for
x86_64-defconfig), and potentially dramatically speeds up vmlinux
processing.
