Convert livepatch documentation to ReST format. The changes
are mostly trivial, as the documents are already on a good
shape. Just a few markup changes are needed for Sphinx to
properly parse the docs.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- The in-file TOC becomes a comment, in order to skip it from the
output, as Sphinx already generates an index there.
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This is a series from Peter Zijlstra that adds x86 build-time uaccess
validation of SMAP to objtool, which will detect and warn about the
following uaccess API usage bugs and weirdnesses:
- call to %s() with UACCESS enabled
- return with UACCESS enabled
- return with UACCESS disabled from a UACCESS-safe function
- recursive UACCESS enable
- redundant UACCESS disable
- UACCESS-safe disables UACCESS
As it turns out not leaking uaccess permissions outside the intended
uaccess functionality is hard when the interfaces are complex and when
such bugs are mostly dormant.
As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one
high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the
checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted
are:
- call to %s() with DF set
- return with DF set
- return with modified stack frame
- recursive STD
- redundant CLD
It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN
on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.
While all warnings emitted by this new checking facility that got
reported to us were fixed, there might be GCC version dependent
warnings that were not reported yet - which we'll address, should they
trigger.
The warnings are non-fatal build warnings"

Having DF escape is BAD(tm).
Linus; you suggested this one, but since DF really is only used from
ASM and the failure case is fairly obvious, do we really need this?
OTOH the patch is fairly small and simple, so let's just do this
to demonstrate objtool's superior awesomeness.

It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.
Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.
Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

It turned out that we failed to detect some sibling calls;
specifically those without relocation records; like:
$ ./objdump-func.sh defconfig-build/mm/kasan/generic.o __asan_loadN
0000 0000000000000840 <__asan_loadN>:
0000 840: 48 8b 0c 24 mov (%rsp),%rcx
0004 844: 31 d2 xor %edx,%edx
0006 846: e9 45 fe ff ff jmpq 690 <check_memory_region>
So extend the cross-function jump to also consider those that are not
between known (or newly detected) parent/child functions, as
sibling-cals when they jump to the start of the function.
The second part of that condition is to deal with random jumps to the
middle of other function, as can be found in
arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.S for example.
This then (with later patches applied) makes the above recognise the
sibling call:
mm/kasan/generic.o: warning: objtool: __asan_loadN()+0x6: call to check_memory_region() with UACCESS enabled
Also make sure to set insn->call_dest for sibling calls so we can know
who we're calling. This is useful information when printing validation
warnings later.

Function aliases result in different symbols for the same set of
instructions; track a canonical symbol so there is a unique point of
access.
This again prepares the way for function attributes. And in particular
the need for aliases comes from how KASAN uses them.

In preparation of function attributes, we need each instruction to
have a valid link back to its function.
Therefore make sure we set the function association for alternative
instruction sequences; they are, after all, still part of the function.

Because find_symbol_by_name() traverses the same lists as
read_symbols(), changing sym->name in place without copying it affects
the result of find_symbol_by_name(). In the case where a ".cold"
function precedes its parent in sec->symbol_list, it can result in a
function being considered a parent of itself. This leads to function
length being set to 0 and other consequent side-effects including a
segfault in add_switch_table(). The effects of this bug are only
visible when building with -ffunction-sections in KCFLAGS.
Fix by copying the search string instead of modifying it in place.

Fixes: 13810435b9 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")
Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/910abd6b5a4945130fd44f787c24e07b9e07c8da.1542736240.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com

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.
