# HEAD: 22682a07acc308ef78681572e19502ce8893c4d4 objtool: Fix objtool regression on x32 systems

Objtool changes for this cycle were:

- Comprehensive interface overhaul:
=================================

Objtool's interface has some issues:

- Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features to other arches.

- The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several other features independent of that.

- The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options. The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only has a single purpose:
"do some combination of things on an object file".

- The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have surprising behavior.

Overhaul the interface:

- get rid of subcmds

- make all features individually selectable

- remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options

- update the documentation

- fix some bugs found along the way

- Fix x32 regression

- Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs

- Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single function from an object file.

- Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on 'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple sections well, which can result in decoding failure.

- Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt. object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the way.

Thanks,

Ingo

Note that with your latest tree you'll get 3 new conflicts:

No problem, but the conflicts did make something clear: the objtool code should just get rid of the "--uaccess" flag that is now unconditional when CONFIG_X86_SMAP has been removed.

I didn't actually do that, and instead just did the mindless merge conflict resolution, but it might be a good idea.

See commit dbae0a934f09 ("x86/cpu: Remove CONFIG_X86_SMAP and 'nosmap'") for when it was removed.

Josh? The patch *might* be something like the attached, but this is
(a) untested and (b) that 'opts.noinstr' part of the patch is a bit dodgy (ie I made the previous 'if' unconditional, but then changed the follow 'else if ()' to just 'if ()' instead of deleting it, which is what "uaccess is always set" would technically have done.

Again: I did *not* do this as part of the merge, the attached patch is just a suggestion of something that I think should now be done after the merge.

Hmm?

Yes, I think there is patch pending for that, but given the total merge pain we already had, I was waiting for all the dust to settle before taking it further.

Actually I think we should go the other direction by keeping '--uaccess'
and adding CONFIG_HAVE_UACCESS_VALIDATION or so. The main point of
that objtool rewrite was to make all the features modular so other arches could port them piecemeal.
