2023-03-23x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in twoJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+1
Mark reported that the ORC unwinder incorrectly marks an unwind as reliable when the unwind terminates prematurely in the dark corners of return_to_handler() due to lack of information about the next frame. The problem is UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY is used in two different situations: 1) The end of the kernel stack unwind before hitting user entry, boot code, or fork entry 2) A blind spot in ORC coverage where the unwinder has to bail due to lack of information about the next frame The ORC unwinder has no way to tell the difference between the two. When it encounters an undefined stack state with 'end=1', it blindly marks the stack reliable, which can break the livepatch consistency model. Fix it by splitting UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY into UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED and UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK.

2022-01-18script/sorttable: Fix some initialization problemsYinan Liu1-2/+3
elf_mcount_loc and mcount_sort_thread definitions are not initialized immediately within the function, which can cause the judgment logic to use uninitialized values when the initialization logic of subsequent code fails.

2022-01-13scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_initYinan Liu1-2/+118
When the kernel starts, the initialization of ftrace takes up a portion of the time (approximately 6~8ms) to sort mcount addresses. We can save this time by moving mcount-sorting to compile time.

2019-12-13scripts/sorttable: Implement build-time ORC unwind table sortingShile Zhang1-5/+175
The ORC unwinder has two tables: .orc_unwind_ip and .orc_unwind, which need to be sorted for binary search. Previously this sorting was done during bootup. Sort them at build time to speed up booting. Add the ORC tables sorting in a parallel build process to speed up the build.

2019-12-13scripts/sorttable: Rename 'sortextable' to 'sorttable'Shile Zhang1-0/+210
Use a more generic name for additional table sorting usecases, such as the upcoming ORC table sorting feature. This tool is not tied to exception table sorting anymore.
