      objtool: Support per-function rodata sections · 6a997c3a
      Allan Xavier authored 
      commit 4a60aa05 upstream.

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.

      tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning · c493ead3
      Miguel Ojeda authored 
      commit 0c97bf86 upstream.

Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.

Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:

    In function 'memset',
        inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
    ./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
    [8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
    referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
    4368 [-Warray-bounds]
      344 |  return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
          |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.

Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.
