Boris reported that in one of his randconfig builds, objtool got
infinitely stuck. Turns out there's trivial list corruption in the
pv_ops tracking when a function is both in a static table and in a code
assignment.
Avoid re-adding function to the pv_ops[] lists when they're already on
it.

Add a few signature bytes after the static call trampoline and verify
those bytes match before patching the trampoline. This avoids patching
random other JMPs (such as CFI jump-table entries) instead.
These bytes decode as:

The libelf implementation from elftoolchain has a safety check in
gelf_update_rel[a] to check that the data corresponds to a section
that has type SHT_REL[A] [0]. If the relocation is updated before
the section header is updated with the proper type, this check
fails.
To fix this, update the section header first, before the relocations.
Previously, the section size was calculated in elf_rebuild_reloc_section
by counting the number of entries in the reloc_list. However, we
now need the size during elf_write so instead keep a running total
and add to it for every new relocation.

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().

The objtool warning that the kvm instruction emulation code triggered
wasn't very useful:
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception
in that it helpfully tells you which symbol name it had trouble figuring
out the relocation for, but it doesn't actually say what the unknown
symbol type was that triggered it all.
In this case it was because of missing type information (type 0, aka
STT_NOTYPE), but on the whole it really should just have printed that
out as part of the message.
Because if this warning triggers, that's very much the first thing you
want to know - why did reloc2sec_off() return failure for that symbol?
So rather than just saying you can't handle some type of symbol without
saying what the type _was_, just print out the type number too.

Occasionally objtool encounters symbol (as opposed to section)
relocations in .altinstructions. Typically they are the alternatives
written by elf_add_alternative() as encountered on a noinstr
validation run on vmlinux after having already ran objtool on the
individual .o files.
Basically this is the counterpart of commit 44f6a7c075 ("objtool:
Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols"), because when these new
assemblers (binutils now also does this) strip the section symbols,
elf_add_reloc_to_insn() is forced to emit symbol based relocations.
As such, teach get_alt_entry() about different relocation types.

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.

The asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() function is required to push the return
value on the stack in order to make ORC happy, but the only reason
objtool doesn't complain is because of a happy accident.
The thing is that asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() doesn't return, so
validate_branch() never terminates and falls through to the next
function, which in the normal case is the hypercall_page. And that, as
it happens, is 4095 NOPs and a RET.
Make asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() terminate on it's own, by making the
function it calls as a dead-end. This way we no longer rely on what
code happens to come after.

Pull objtool fix and updates from Ingo Molnar:
"An ELF format fix for a section flags mismatch bug that breaks kernel
tooling such as kpatch-build.
The biggest change in this cycle is the new code to handle and rewrite
variable sized jump labels - which results in slightly tighter code
generation in hot paths, through the use of short(er) NOPs.
Also a number of cleanups and fixes, and a change to the generic
include/linux/compiler.h to handle a s390 GCC quirk"

objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing
When objtool creates the .altinstructions section, it sets the SHF_WRITE
flag to make the section writable -- unless the section had already been
previously created by the kernel. The mismatch between kernel-created
and objtool-created section flags can cause failures with external
tooling (kpatch-build). And the section doesn't need to be writable
anyway.
Make the section flags consistent with the kernel's.

Nathan reported that LLVM ThinLTO builds have a performance regression
with commit 25cf0d8aa2 ("objtool: Rewrite hashtable sizing"). Sami
was quick to note that this is due to their use of -ffunction-sections.
As a result the .text section is small and basing the number of relocs
off of that no longer works. Instead have read_sections() compute the
sum of all SHF_EXECINSTR sections and use that.

5d7: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_indirect_thunk_r11-0x4
while the rewrite can only handle JMP/CALL to the thunks. The result
is the alternative wrecking the code. Make sure to skip writing the

When an ELF object uses extended symbol section indexes (IOW it has a
.symtab_shndx section), these must be kept in sync with the regular
symbol table (.symtab).
So for every new symbol we emit, make sure to also emit a
.symtab_shndx value to keep the arrays of equal size.
Note: since we're writing an UNDEF symbol, most GElf_Sym fields will
be 0 and we can repurpose one (st_size) to host the 0 for the xshndx
value.

Currently objtool has 5 hashtables and sizes them 16 or 20 bits
depending on the --vmlinux argument.
However, a single side doesn't really work well for the 5 tables,
which among them, cover 3 different uses. Also, while vmlinux is
larger, there is still a very wide difference between a defconfig and
allyesconfig build, which again isn't optimally covered by a single
size.
Another aspect is the cost of elf_hash_init(), which for large tables
dominates the runtime for small input files. It turns out that all it
does it assign NULL, something that is required when using malloc().
However, when we allocate memory using mmap(), we're guaranteed to get
zero filled pages.
Therefore, rewrite the whole thing to:
1) use more dynamic sized tables, depending on the input file,
2) avoid the need for elf_hash_init() entirely by using mmap().
This speeds up a regular kernel build (100s to 98s for
x86_64-defconfig), and potentially dramatically speeds up vmlinux
processing.

Objtool detection of asm jump tables would normally just work, except
for the fact that asm retpolines use alternatives. Objtool thinks the
alternative code path (a jump to the retpoline) is a sibling call.
Don't treat alternative indirect branches as sibling calls when the
original instruction has a jump table.

Due to:
c9c324dc22 ("objtool: Support stack layout changes in alternatives")
it is now possible to simplify the retpolines.
Currently our retpolines consist of 2 symbols:
- __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg: the compiler target
- __x86_retpoline_\reg: the actual retpoline.
Both are consecutive in code and aligned such that for any one register
they both live in the same cacheline:
0000000000000000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>:
0: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
2: 90 nop
3: 90 nop
4: 90 nop
0000000000000005 <__x86_retpoline_rax>:
5: e8 07 00 00 00 callq 11 <__x86_retpoline_rax+0xc>
a: f3 90 pause
c: 0f ae e8 lfence
f: eb f9 jmp a <__x86_retpoline_rax+0x5>
11: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp)
15: c3 retq
16: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
The thunk is an alternative_2, where one option is a JMP to the
retpoline. This was done so that objtool didn't need to deal with
alternatives with stack ops. But that problem has been solved, so now
it is possible to fold the entire retpoline into the alternative to
simplify and consolidate unused bytes:
0000000000000000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>:
0: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
2: 90 nop
3: 90 nop
4: 90 nop
5: 90 nop
6: 90 nop
7: 90 nop
8: 90 nop
9: 90 nop
a: 90 nop
b: 90 nop
c: 90 nop
d: 90 nop
e: 90 nop
f: 90 nop
10: 90 nop
11: 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 data16 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
1c: 0f 1f 40 00 nopl 0x0(%rax)
Notice that since the longest alternative sequence is now:
0: e8 07 00 00 00 callq c <.altinstr_replacement+0xc>
5: f3 90 pause
7: 0f ae e8 lfence
a: eb f9 jmp 5 <.altinstr_replacement+0x5>
c: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp)
10: c3 retq
17 bytes, we have 15 bytes NOP at the end of our 32 byte slot. (IOW, if
we can shrink the retpoline by 1 byte we can pack it more densely).

Currently, optimize_nops() scans to see if the alternative starts with
NOPs. However, the emit pattern is:
141: \oldinstr
142: .skip (len-(142b-141b)), 0x90
That is, when 'oldinstr' is short, the tail is padded with NOPs. This case
never gets optimized.
Rewrite optimize_nops() to replace any trailing string of NOPs inside
the alternative to larger NOPs. Also run it irrespective of patching,
replacing NOPs in both the original and replaced code.
A direct consequence is that 'padlen' becomes superfluous, so remove it.
[ bp:

- remove a stale comment about needing to pad
- add a comment in optimize_nops()
