It took me a while, as I had lost the earlier reproducer and am
currently testing
linux-next/gcc-8 whereas the report was for v4.14/gcc-7.

I have finally found a new reproducer on linux-next/gcc-7 and confirmed that
the warning is fixed now, both for gcc-7 and gcc-8.

Thanks for the fix!

From: Josh Poimboeuf 
Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Another switch table detection fix

Continue the switch table detection whack-a-mole.  Add a check to
distinguish KASAN-related .rodata reads from switch-related .rodata
reads in GCC 7.

This fixes the following warning:

  crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509_cert_parser.o: warning: objtool: 
x509_note_pkey_algo()+0xa4: sibling call from callable instruction with 
modified stack frame

 Kees, I suppose you'll need to obfuscate the code to stay one step ahead
 of GCC.

 While this may be an objtool bug, I might not fix it because it served a
 useful purpose here in finding GCC crap.

It is with all modern gcc versions: 4.8 though 8.0.1 on those -march
values, and it still appears on latest Linus and next/master.

This seems like a very rare combination, the flags I need to reproduce are
"gcc -O2 -mno-red-zone  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 -march=nocona",
however I do see the same behavior with every gcc version since 4.8!

Aside from -march=nocona, also bonnell, atom, silvermont, slm, and knl
show this, but none of the modern microarchitectures do.

This seems like a very rare combination, the flags I need to reproduce are
"gcc -O2 -mno-red-zone  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 -march=nocona",
however I do see the same behavior with every gcc version since 4.8!

Aside from -march=nocona, also bonnell, atom, silvermont, slm, and knl
show this, but none of the modern microarchitectures do.

Ok, I expected something like that.  GCC "undefined behavior" strikes
again.

Kees, I suppose you'll need to obfuscate the code to stay one step ahead
of GCC.

While this may be an objtool bug, I might not fix it because it served a
useful purpose here in finding GCC crap.

Would be interesting to analyze that config to understand what options

AFAIU, there is an optimization step in gcc that eliminates basic blocks
that contain an unconditional NULL pointer dereference, based on the
assumption that it's undefined behavior, and if we ever get here, it is
free to drop not only code after but also before it as long as it doesn't
have any side-effects.

I would have expected an actual NULL pointer dereference to remain
in the function though, or at least another trapping instruction.

While this is probably an objtool bug, the code is very odd:

01a8 :
 1a8:   e8 00 00 00 00  callq  1ad 
1a9: R_X86_64_PC32  __fentry__-0x4

 1b5:   48 83 ec 20 sub$0x20,%rsp
 1b9:   48 89 ecmov%rbp,%rsp
 1bc:   5d  pop%rbp
 1bd:   c3  retq

The function just allocates/aligns its stack space and then returns.  It
seems like GCC was too smart for its own good here, as the function
doesn't test what it's supposed to.  Can you share the config for this
one?

The third one has been fixed upstream with

  99ce7962d52d ("objtool: Fix switch-table detection")

... so we should put that one into stable.

I don't recall seeing the other two, I'll look into them.

Yeah, I haven't forgotten about GCC 8, it just fell off my plate thanks

The third one has been fixed upstream with

  99ce7962d52d ("objtool: Fix switch-table detection")

... so we should put that one into stable.

I don't recall seeing the other two, I'll look into them.

Yeah, I haven't forgotten about GCC 8, it just fell off my plate thanks
to spectre/meltdown.  It's still on my TODO list...

objtool warnings on 4.14-stable/gcc-7.3.0

[Arnd Bergmann]

Hi Josh,

I recently did some randconfig testing with a plain 4.14-stable kernel
and gcc-7.3.0, and came across three distinct objtool warnings:

drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.o: warning: objtool:
lkdtm_CORRUPT_LIST_ADD()+0x15: return with modified stack frame

crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509_cert_parser.o: warning: objtool:
x509_note_pkey_algo()+0xa4: sibling call from callable instruction
with modified stack frame

drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/qplib_fp.o: warning: objtool:
bnxt_qplib_poll_cq()+0x106: sibling call from callable instruction
with modified stack frame

It's likely that this is the complete set at the moment, I saw each
one multiple times,
but did not see any others. I'll reply with the respective object
files for your reference,
in case these are so far unknown to you. There are only a handful of randconfig
warnings we see overall in the kernel these days (at least on x86 and arm64), so
even if they are false-positive, it would be great to get rid of the
output so we can
do randconfig testing on 4.14.y and treat any output from 'make -s' as
a regression.
I did not check

With gcc-8, things are looking very differently, and we still get an
endless supply of
similar warnings.
