objtool: Add tool to perform compile-time stack metadata validation

This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata.  It enforces
a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
traces can be reliable.

For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.

It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.

Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:

a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels

   Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes.  They allow runtime
   code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
   chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
   code.

   For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  For some other architectures they may be
   required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").

   For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
   frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.

   But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
   hand, which most people don't do.  So the end result is that
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.

   For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
   functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
   and update the frame pointer.  If a first function doesn't properly
   create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
   of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.

   For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
   pointers enabled:

     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
     [<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

   It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
   seq_read().

   If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
   replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
   what it looks like instead:

     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

   Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
   skipped.  Instead the stack trace seems to show that
   cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().

   The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
   *all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
   be skipped on a stack trace.

   [*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
       beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
       or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
       destroyed.  This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.

b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels

   This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
   see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

c) Higher live patching compatibility rate

   This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
   see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:

1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
   function type.  In asm code, this is typically done using the
   ENTRY/ENDPROC macros.  If objtool finds a return instruction
   outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
   callable code which should be annotated accordingly.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
   callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.

2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
   be annotated as an ELF function.  The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
   in this case.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
   Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.

3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
   correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
   the architecture's back chain rules.  This can by done in asm code
   with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.

   This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
   designed.  If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
   function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
   trace.

4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:

   a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or

   b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
      the same value it had on function entry.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
   function's code paths.  If a function jumps to code in another file,
   and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
   because it only analyzes a single file at a time.

5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
   The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
   which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.

   This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
   return normally.

It currently only supports x86_64.  I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.

On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time.  It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.

+Compile-time stack metadata validation
+======================================
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
+objtool which runs at compile time.  It has a "check" subcommand which
+analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack metadata.
+It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so
+that stack traces can be reliable.
+
+Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to add
+CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
+
+For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
+validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
+
+It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
+.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
+alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
+instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
+which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.
+
+
+Why do we need stack metadata validation?
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:
+
+a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels
+
+   Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes.  They allow runtime
+   code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
+   chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
+   code.
+

+   and update the frame pointer.  If a first function doesn't properly
+   create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
+   of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.
+
+   For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
+   pointers enabled:
+
+     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
+     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
+     [<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
+     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
+     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
+     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
+     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
+     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
+
+   It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
+   seq_read().
+
+   If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
+   replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
+   what it looks like instead:
+
+     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63

+     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
+     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
+     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
+     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
+     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
+
+   Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
+   skipped.  Instead the stack trace seems to show that
+   cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().
+
+   The benefit of objtool here is that because it ensures that *all*
+   functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*] be
+   skipped on a stack trace.
+
+   [*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
+       beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
+       or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
+       destroyed.  This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.
+
+b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels
+
+   (NOTE: This is not yet implemented)
+
+   As an alternative to frame pointers, DWARF Call Frame Information
+   (CFI) metadata can be used to walk the stack.  Unlike frame pointers,
+   CFI metadata is out of band.  So it doesn't affect runtime
+   performance and it can be reliable even when interrupts or exceptions
+   are involved.
+
+   For C code, gcc automatically generates DWARF CFI metadata.  But for
+   asm code, generating CFI is a tedious manual approach which requires
+   manually placed .cfi assembler macros to be scattered throughout the
+   code.  It's clumsy and very easy to get wrong, and it makes the real
+   code harder to read.
+
+   Stacktool will improve this situation in several ways.  For code
+   which already has CFI annotations, it will validate them.  For code
+   which doesn't have CFI annotations, it will generate them.  So an
+   architecture can opt to strip out all the manual .cfi annotations
+   from their asm code and have objtool generate them instead.
+
+   We might also add a runtime stack validation debug option where we
+   periodically walk the stack from schedule() and/or an NMI to ensure
+   that the stack metadata is sane and that we reach the bottom of the
+   stack.
+
+   So the benefit of objtool here will be that external tooling should
+   always show perfect stack traces.  And the same will be true for
+   kernel warning/oops traces if the architecture has a runtime DWARF
+   unwinder.
+
+c) Higher live patching compatibility rate
+
+   (NOTE: This is not yet implemented)
+
+   Currently with CONFIG_LIVEPATCH there's a basic live patching
+   framework which is safe for roughly 85-90% of "security" fixes.  But
+   patches can't have complex features like function dependency or
+   prototype changes, or data structure changes.
+
+   There's a strong need to support patches which have the more complex
+   features so that the patch compatibility rate for security fixes can
+   eventually approach something resembling 100%.  To achieve that, a
+   "consistency model" is needed, which allows tasks to be safely
+   transitioned from an unpatched state to a patched state.
+
+   One of the key requirements of the currently proposed livepatch
+   consistency model [*] is that it needs to walk the stack of each
+   sleeping task to determine if it can be transitioned to the patched
+   state.  If objtool can ensure that stack traces are reliable, this
+   consistency model can be used and the live patching compatibility
+   rate can be improved significantly.

+
+Rules
+-----
+
+To achieve the validation, objtool enforces the following rules:
+
+1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
+   function type.  In asm code, this is typically done using the
+   ENTRY/ENDPROC macros.  If objtool finds a return instruction
+   outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
+   callable code which should be annotated accordingly.
+
+   This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
+   callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.
+
+2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
+   be annotated as an ELF function.  The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
+   in this case.
+
+   This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
+   Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.
+
+3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
+   correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
+   the architecture's back chain rules.  This can by done in asm code
+   with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.
+
+   This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
+   designed.  If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
+   function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
+   trace.
+
+4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:
+
+   a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or
+
+   b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
+      the same value it had on function entry.
+
+   This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
+   function's code paths.  If a function jumps to code in another file,
+   and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
+   because it only analyzes a single file at a time.
+
+5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
+   The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
+   which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.
+
+   This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
+   return normally.
+
+
+Errors in .S files
+------------------
+
+If you're getting an error in a compiled .S file which you don't
+understand, first make sure that the affected code follows the above
+rules.
+
+Here are some examples of common warnings reported by objtool, what
+they mean, and suggestions for how to fix them.
+
+
+1. asm_file.o: warning: objtool: func()+0x128: call without frame pointer save/setup
+
+   The func() function made a function call without first saving and/or
+   updating the frame pointer.
+
+   If func() is indeed a callable function, add proper frame pointer
+   logic using the FRAME_BEGIN and FRAME_END macros.  Otherwise, remove
+   its ELF function annotation by changing ENDPROC to END.
+
+   If you're getting this error in a .c file, see the "Errors in .c
+   files" section.
+
+
+2. asm_file.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x53: return instruction outside of a callable function
+
+   A return instruction was detected, but objtool couldn't find a way
+   for a callable function to reach the instruction.
+
+   If the return instruction is inside (or reachable from) a callable
+   function, the function needs to be annotated with the ENTRY/ENDPROC
+   macros.
+
+   If you _really_ need a return instruction outside of a function, and
+   are 100% sure that it won't affect stack traces, you can tell
+   objtool to ignore it.  See the "Adding exceptions" section below.
+
+
+3. asm_file.o: warning: objtool: func()+0x9: function has unreachable instruction
+
+   The instruction lives inside of a callable function, but there's no
+   possible control flow path from the beginning of the function to the
+   instruction.
+
+   If the instruction is actually needed, and it's actually in a
+   callable function, ensure that its function is properly annotated
+   with ENTRY/ENDPROC.
+
+   If it's not actually in a callable function (e.g. kernel entry code),
+   change ENDPROC to END.
+
+
+4. asm_file.o: warning: objtool: func(): can't find starting instruction
+   or
+   asm_file.o: warning: objtool: func()+0x11dd: can't decode instruction
+
+   Did you put data in a text section?  If so, that can confuse
+   objtool's instruction decoder.  Move the data to a more appropriate
+   section like .data or .rodata.
+
+
+5. asm_file.o: warning: objtool: func()+0x6: kernel entry/exit from callable instruction
+
+   This is a kernel entry/exit instruction like sysenter or sysret.
+   Such instructions aren't allowed in a callable function, and are most
+   likely part of the kernel entry code.
+
+   If the instruction isn't actually in a callable function, change
+   ENDPROC to END.
+
+
+6. asm_file.o: warning: objtool: func()+0x26: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
+
+   This is a dynamic jump or a jump to an undefined symbol.  Stacktool
+   assumed it's a sibling call and detected that the frame pointer
+   wasn't first restored to its original state.
+
+   If it's not really a sibling call, you may need to move the
+   destination code to the local file.
+
+   If the instruction is not actually in a callable function (e.g.
+   kernel entry code), change ENDPROC to END.
+
+
+7. asm_file: warning: objtool: func()+0x5c: frame pointer state mismatch
+
+   The instruction's frame pointer state is inconsistent, depending on
+   which execution path was taken to reach the instruction.
+
+   Make sure the function pushes and sets up the frame pointer (for
+   x86_64, this means rbp) at the beginning of the function and pops it
+   at the end of the function.  Also make sure that no other code in the
+   function touches the frame pointer.
+
+
+Errors in .c files
+------------------
+
+If you're getting an objtool error in a compiled .c file, chances are
+the file uses an asm() statement which has a "call" instruction.  An
+asm() statement with a call instruction must declare the use of the
+stack pointer in its output operand.  For example, on x86_64:
+
+   register void *__sp asm("rsp");
+   asm volatile("call func" : "+r" (__sp));
+
+Otherwise the stack frame may not get created before the call.
+
+Another possible cause for errors in C code is if the Makefile removes
+-fno-omit-frame-pointer or adds -fomit-frame-pointer to the gcc options.
+
+Also see the above section for .S file errors for more information what
+the individual error messages mean.
+
+If the error doesn't seem to make sense, it could be a bug in objtool.
+Feel free to ask the objtool maintainer for help.
+
+
+Adding exceptions
+-----------------
+
+If you _really_ need objtool to ignore something, and are 100% sure
+that it won't affect kernel stack traces, you can tell objtool to
+ignore it:
+
+- To skip validation of a function, use the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD
+  macro.
+
+- To skip validation of a file, add
+
+    OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_filename.o := n
+
+  to the Makefile.
+
+- To skip validation of a directory, add
+
+    OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD := y
+
+  to the Makefile.
