From b9f174c811e3ae4ae8959dc57e6adb9990e913f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2023 14:14:56 -0700 Subject: x86/unwind/orc: Add ELF section with ORC version identifier Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel, it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change. It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table). Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script can be updated. This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the 20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding __start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux. 1: https://github.com/osandov/drgn 2: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/issues/303 Fixes: ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") Fixes: fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/aef9c8dc43915b886a8c48509a12ec1b006ca1ca.1686690801.git.osandov@osandov.com --- arch/x86/Makefile | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/Makefile') diff --git a/arch/x86/Makefile b/arch/x86/Makefile index b39975977c03..fdc2e3abd615 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Makefile +++ b/arch/x86/Makefile @@ -305,6 +305,18 @@ ifeq ($(RETPOLINE_CFLAGS),) endif endif +ifdef CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC +orc_hash_h := arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/asm/orc_hash.h +orc_hash_sh := $(srctree)/scripts/orc_hash.sh +targets += $(orc_hash_h) +quiet_cmd_orc_hash = GEN $@ + cmd_orc_hash = mkdir -p $(dir $@); \ + $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(orc_hash_sh) < $< > $@ +$(orc_hash_h): $(srctree)/arch/x86/include/asm/orc_types.h $(orc_hash_sh) FORCE + $(call if_changed,orc_hash) +archprepare: $(orc_hash_h) +endif + archclean: $(Q)rm -rf $(objtree)/arch/i386 $(Q)rm -rf $(objtree)/arch/x86_64 -- cgit
