Starting with GCC 8, a lot of unlikely code was moved out of line to
"cold" subfunctions in .text.unlikely.
For example, the unlikely bits of:
irq_do_set_affinity()
are moved out to the following subfunction:
irq_do_set_affinity.cold.49()
Starting with GCC 9, the numbered suffix has been removed. So in the
above example, the cold subfunction is instead:
irq_do_set_affinity.cold()
Tweak the objtool subfunction detection logic so that it detects both
GCC 8 and GCC 9 naming schemes.

Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple
.rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and
'-fdata-sections'. Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump
table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable
instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled
using those flags.
The fix is comprised of three parts:
1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for
easier checking later.
2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order
to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section.
3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections,
rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section.
The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no
differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen.
Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the
unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and
a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests
that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least
making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

Since the following commit:
cd77849a69 ("objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions")
... if the kernel is built with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fno-reorder-functions',
objtool can get stuck in an infinite loop.
That flag causes the new GCC 8 cold subfunctions to be placed in .text
instead of .text.unlikely. But it also has an unfortunate quirk: in the
symbol table, the subfunction (e.g., nmi_panic.cold.7) is nested inside
the parent (nmi_panic).
That function overlap confuses objtool, and causes it to get into an
infinite loop in next_insn_same_func(). Here's Allan's description of
the loop:
"Objtool iterates through the instructions in nmi_panic using
next_insn_same_func. Once it reaches the end of nmi_panic at 0x534 it
jumps to 0x528 as that's the start of nmi_panic.cold.7. However, since
the instructions starting at 0x528 are still associated with nmi_panic
objtool will get stuck in a loop, continually jumping back to 0x528
after reaching 0x534."
Fix it by shortening the length of the parent function so that the
functions no longer overlap.

The kbuild test robot reported the following issue:
kernel/time/posix-stubs.o: warning: objtool: sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1()+0x0: unreachable instruction
This file creates symbol aliases for the sys_ni_posix_timers() function.
So there are multiple ELF function symbols for the same function:
23: 0000000000000150 26 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __x64_sys_timer_create
24: 0000000000000150 26 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 sys_ni_posix_timers
25: 0000000000000150 26 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __ia32_sys_timer_create
26: 0000000000000150 26 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __x64_sys_timer_gettime
Here's the corresponding cold subfunction:
11: 0000000000000000 45 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 6 sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1
When analyzing overlapping functions, objtool only looks at the first
one in the symbol list. The rest of the functions are basically ignored
because they point to instructions which have already been analyzed.
So in this case it analyzes the __x64_sys_timer_create() function, but
then it fails to recognize that its cold subfunction is
sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1(), because the names are different.
Make the subfunction detection a little smarter by associating each
subfunction with the first function which jumps to it, since that's the
one which will be analyzed.
Unfortunately we still have to leave the original subfunction detection
code in place, thanks to GCC switch tables. (See the comment for more
details.)

With the following commit:
fd35c88b74 ("objtool: Support GCC 8 switch tables")
I added a "can't find switch jump table" warning, to stop covering up
silent failures if add_switch_table() can't find anything.
That warning found yet another bug in the objtool switch table detection
logic. For cases 1 and 2 (as described in the comments of
find_switch_table()), the find_symbol_containing() check doesn't adjust
the offset for RIP-relative switch jumps.
Incidentally, this bug was already fixed for case 3 with:
6f5ec2993b ("objtool: Detect RIP-relative switch table references")
However, that commit missed the fix for cases 1 and 2.
The different cases are now starting to look more and more alike. So
fix the bug by consolidating them into a single case, by checking the
original dynamic jump instruction in the case 3 loop.
This also simplifies the code and makes it more robust against future
switch table detection issues -- of which I'm sure there will be many...
Switch table detection has been the most fragile area of objtool, by
far. I long for the day when we'll have a GCC plugin for annotating
switch tables. Linus asked me to delay such a plugin due to the
flakiness of the plugin infrastructure in older versions of GCC, so this
rickety code is what we're stuck with for now. At least the code is now
a little simpler than it was.

Typically a switch table can be found by detecting a .rodata access
followed an indirect jump:
1969: 4a 8b 0c e5 00 00 00 mov 0x0(,%r12,8),%rcx
1970: 00
196d: R_X86_64_32S .rodata+0x438
1971: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 1976 <dispc_runtime_suspend+0xb6a>
1972: R_X86_64_PC32 __x86_indirect_thunk_rcx-0x4
Randy Dunlap reported a case (seen with GCC 4.8) where the .rodata
access uses RIP-relative addressing:
19bd: 48 8b 3d 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(%rip),%rdi # 19c4 <dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbb8>
19c0: R_X86_64_PC32 .rodata+0x45c
19c4: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 19c9 <dispc_runtime_suspend+0xbbd>
19c5: R_X86_64_PC32 __x86_indirect_thunk_rdi-0x4
In this case the relocation addend needs to be adjusted accordingly in
order to find the location of the switch table.
The fix is for case 3 (as described in the comments), but also make the
existing case 1 & 2 checks more precise by only adjusting the addend for
R_X86_64_PC32 relocations.
This fixes the following warnings:
drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_suspend()+0xbb8: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/dss/dispc.o: warning: objtool: dispc_runtime_resume()+0xcc5: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

With GCC 8, some issues were found with the objtool switch table
detection.
1) In the .rodata section, immediately after the switch table, there can
be another object which contains a pointer to the function which had
the switch statement. In this case objtool wrongly considers the
function pointer to be part of the switch table. Fix it by:
a) making sure there are no pointers to the beginning of the
function; and
b) making sure there are no gaps in the switch table.
Only the former was needed, the latter adds additional protection for
future optimizations.
2) In find_switch_table(), case 1 and case 2 are missing the check to
ensure that the .rodata switch table data is anonymous, i.e. that it
isn't already associated with an ELF symbol. Fix it by adding the
same find_symbol_containing() check which is used for case 3.
This fixes the following warnings with GCC 8:
drivers/block/virtio_blk.o: warning: objtool: virtio_queue_rq()+0x0: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+8 cfa2=7+72

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with
orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) {
Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.
Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
thus a call such as:
foo := $(shell echo '#')
is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
foo := $(shell echo '\#')
Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles
portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
C := \#
foo := $(shell echo '$C')
This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.
This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

Since the ORC unwinder was made the default on x86_64, Clang-built
defconfig kernels have triggered some new objtool warnings:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gpu_error.o: warning: objtool: i915_error_printf()+0x6c: return with modified stack frame
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.o: warning: objtool: pipe_config_err()+0xa6: return with modified stack frame
The problem is that objtool has never seen clang-built binaries before.
Shockingly enough, objtool is apparently able to follow the code flow
mostly fine, except for one instruction sequence. Instead of a LEAVE
instruction, clang restores RSP and RBP the long way:
67c: 48 89 ec mov %rbp,%rsp
67f: 5d pop %rbp
Teach objtool about this new code sequence.
