Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate
livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete
rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of
maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
(coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:
- Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
section.
- Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.
Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things. To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.
After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.
Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'. Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.
Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:
- For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
relocations.
- Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:
- Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
symbol is being referenced.
- A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
versa.
A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

The x86 startup code must not use absolute references to code or data,
as it executes before the kernel virtual mapping is up.
Add an action to objtool to check all allocatable sections (with the
exception of __patchable_function_entries, which uses absolute
references for nebulous reasons) and raise an error if any absolute
references are found.
Note that debug sections typically contain lots of absolute references
too, but those are not allocatable so they will be ignored.

FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check,
disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS
and thus don't need no stinking retpolines.
Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in
the first half of a cacheline :-/
So what was the paranoid call sequence:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b <f0> lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 75 fd jne d <fineibt_paranoid_start+0xd>
10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11
13: 90 nop
Now becomes:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11
Where the paranoid_thunk looks like:
1d: <ea> (bad)
__x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11:
1e: 75 fd jne 1d
__x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11:
20: 41 ff eb jmp *%r11

INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH is ambiguous. It can represent both call semantics
(SYSCALL, SYSENTER) and return semantics (SYSRET, IRET, RETS, RETU).
Those differ significantly: calls preserve control flow whereas returns
terminate it.
Objtool uses an arbitrary rule for INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH that almost works
by accident: if in a function, keep going; otherwise stop. It should
instead be based on the semantics of the underlying instruction.
In preparation for improving that, split INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH into
INSN_SYCALL and INSN_SYSRET.
No functional change.

Now that paravirt call patching is implemented using alternatives, it
is possible to avoid having to patch the alternative sites by
including the altinstr_replacement calls in the call_sites list.
This means we're now stacking relative adjustments like so:
callthunks_patch_builtin_calls():
patches all function calls to target: func() -> func()-10
since the CALL accounting lives in the CALL_PADDING.
This explicitly includes .altinstr_replacement
alt_replace_call():
patches: x86_BUG() -> target()
this patching is done in a relative manner, and will preserve
the above adjustment, meaning that with calldepth patching it
will do: x86_BUG()-10 -> target()-10
apply_relocation():
does code relocation, and adjusts all RIP-relative instructions
to the new location, also in a relative manner.

When kernel IBT is enabled, objtool detects all text references in order
to determine which functions can be indirectly branched to.
In text, such references look like one of the following:
mov $0x0,%rax R_X86_64_32S .init.text+0x7e0a0
lea 0x0(%rip),%rax R_X86_64_PC32 autoremove_wake_function-0x4
Either way the function pointer is denoted by a relocation, so objtool
just reads that.
However there are some "lea xxx(%rip)" cases which don't use relocations
because they're referencing code in the same translation unit. Objtool
doesn't have visibility to those.
The only currently known instances of that are a few hand-coded asm text
references which don't actually need ENDBR. So it's not actually a
problem at the moment.
However if we enable -fpie, the compiler would start generating them and
there would definitely be bugs in the IBT sealing.
Detect non-relocated text references and handle them appropriately.
[ Note: I removed the manual static_call_tramp check -- that should
already be handled by the noendbr check. ]

The encoding of an x86 instruction can include a ModR/M and a SIB
(Scale-Index-Base) byte to describe the addressing mode of the
instruction.
objtool processes all addressing mode with a SIB base of 5 as having
%rbp as the base register. However, a SIB base of 5 means that the
effective address has either no base (if ModR/M mod is zero) or %rbp
as the base (if ModR/M mod is 1 or 2). This can cause objtool to confuse
an absolute address access with a stack operation.
For example, objtool will see the following instruction:
4c 8b 24 25 e0 ff ff mov 0xffffffffffffffe0,%r12
as a stack operation (i.e. similar to: mov -0x20(%rbp), %r12).
[Note that this kind of weird absolute address access is added by the
compiler when using KASAN.]
If this perceived stack operation happens to reference the location
where %r12 was pushed on the stack then the objtool validation will
think that %r12 is being restored and this can cause a stack state
mismatch.
This kind behavior was seen on xfs code, after a minor change (convert
kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()):

Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no
justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative.
To clarify, the whole thing looks like:
Zen3/4 does:
srso_alias_untrain_ret:
nop2
lfence
jmp srso_alias_return_thunk
int3
srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so
add $8, %rsp
ret
int3
srso_alias_return_thunk:
call srso_alias_safe_ret
ud2
While Zen1/2 does:
srso_untrain_ret:
movabs $foo, %rax
lfence
call srso_safe_ret (jmp srso_return_thunk ?)
int3
srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction
add $8,%rsp
ret
int3
srso_return_thunk:
call srso_safe_ret
ud2
While retbleed does:
zen_untrain_ret:
test $0xcc, %bl
lfence
jmp zen_return_thunk
int3
zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction
ret
int3
Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick
(test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence
(srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to
speculate into a trap (UD2). This RET will then mispredict and
execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the
stack.
Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return
once).

dependency on retbleed_select_mitigation(). Add moar ifdeffery for

Objtool --rethunk does two things:
- it collects all (tail) call's of __x86_return_thunk and places them
into .return_sites. These are typically compiler generated, but
RET also emits this same.
- it fudges the validation of the __x86_return_thunk symbol; because
this symbol is inside another instruction, it can't actually find
the instruction pointed to by the symbol offset and gets upset.
Because these two things pertained to the same symbol, there was no
pressing need to separate these two separate things.
However, alas, along comes SRSO and more crazy things to deal with
appeared.
The SRSO patch itself added the following symbol names to identify as
rethunk:
'srso_untrain_ret', 'srso_safe_ret' and '__ret'
Where '__ret' is the old retbleed return thunk, 'srso_safe_ret' is a
new similarly embedded return thunk, and 'srso_untrain_ret' is
completely unrelated to anything the above does (and was only included
because of that INT3 vs UD2 issue fixed previous).
Clear things up by adding a second category for the embedded instruction
thing.

Add a mitigation for the speculative return address stack overflow
vulnerability found on AMD processors.
The mitigation works by ensuring all RET instructions speculate to
a controlled location, similar to how speculation is controlled in the
retpoline sequence. To accomplish this, the __x86_return_thunk forces
the CPU to mispredict every function return using a 'safe return'
sequence.
To ensure the safety of this mitigation, the kernel must ensure that the
safe return sequence is itself free from attacker interference. In Zen3
and Zen4, this is accomplished by creating a BTB alias between the
untraining function srso_untrain_ret_alias() and the safe return
function srso_safe_ret_alias() which results in evicting a potentially
poisoned BTB entry and using that safe one for all function returns.
In older Zen1 and Zen2, this is accomplished using a reinterpretation
technique similar to Retbleed one: srso_untrain_ret() and
srso_safe_ret().

When 'discussing' control flow Masami mentioned the LOOP* instructions
and I realized objtool doesn't decode them properly.
As it turns out, these instructions are somewhat inefficient and as
such unlikely to be emitted by the compiler (a few vmlinux.o checks
can't find a single one) so this isn't critical, but still, best to
decode them properly.

The ENQCMD instruction implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the
pasid field of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But
there is no precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which
the PASID_MSR is updated from the value for one task to the next.
Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction
which does not access the PASID_MSR.

Commit e31694e0a7 ("objtool: Don't make .altinstructions writable")
aligned objtool-created and kernel-created .altinstructions section
flags, but there remains a minor discrepency in their use of a section
entry size: objtool sets one while the kernel build does not.
While sh_entsize of sizeof(struct alt_instr) seems intuitive, this small
deviation can cause failures with external tooling (kpatch-build).
Fix this by creating new .altinstructions sections with sh_entsize of 0
and then later updating sec->sh_size as alternatives are added to the
section. An added benefit is avoiding the data descriptor and buffer
created by elf_create_section(), but previously unused by
elf_add_alternative().

Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need.
However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an
indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to
another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in
entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr
validation didn't work with paravirt kernels.
In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static
pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array,
provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like:
bf87: 48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x0(%rip)
bf92 <xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f>
bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_ops+0x268
There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/
Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are
now subject to noinstr validation.

Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.
This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.
Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

When the compiler emits: "CALL __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg" for an
indirect call, have objtool rewrite it to:
ALTERNATIVE "call __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg",
"call *%reg", ALT_NOT(X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE)
Additionally, in order to not emit endless identical
.altinst_replacement chunks, use a global symbol for them, see
__x86_indirect_alt_*.
This also avoids objtool from having to do code generation.

The __x86_indirect_ naming is obviously not generic. Shorten to allow
matching some additional magic names later.

Since the kernel will rely on a single canonical set of NOPs, make sure
objtool uses the exact same ones.
