| |
Hi everyone,
Hope I'm not too late for this discussion.
I'm not familiar with ppc so it spent me some time to reproduce this. But at last I didn't make it.
What I did:
1 checkout to tip/objtool/core
2 apply this patch
3 recover the unreachable() after WARN_ENTRY(..
4 compile on defconfig/allyesconfig
If anyone can point out which file will generate this problem it will be perfect.

For my situation, the problem is, if there is an unreachable() used in the switch default case with nothing else, compiler will generate a NOP and is still a jump to this NOP branch while it is marked in .discard.unreachable.
When objtool deal with .discard.unreachable, it will *do nothing* to this NOP itself, but mark the previous instruction as "dead_end" (see check.c:ignore_unreachable_insn()). And checking will stop when reach this dead_end insn.
0x4: jne 0x14 <= jump for switch case
..
0x10: ret <= dead_end
0x14: nop <= real unreachable instructiond
However, actually we have a jump to NOP, which makes this reachable to this branch, and when this NOP is at end of function, it get a "fall through" warning.
I changed the unreachable to -EINVAL but it was criticized by the committer because he thought it is objtool's job to deal with these special cases.

See commit > bfb1a7c91fb775 ("x86/bug: Merge annotate_reachable() into _BUG_FLAGS() > asm").

For BUG(), we can continue to use unreachable() so that > objtool can differentiate these from traps used in warnings. > It is right and on arm64 only BUG() has unreachable and there is no annotation for __WARN_FLAGS(). Objtool works correctly on this. For that I support that unreachable() annotation shouldn't be with __WARN_FLAGS() because there should be an accessible branch after WARN() micro. However in the previous case, it's wired that compiler generates a bl to unreachable symbol, IIUC it is not a illegal call? (if it is allowed on ppc then objtool should be tell to recognize this)
It seems that your decoding only care about INSN_CALL for mcount, so maybe temporarily these control flow checking makes non-sense for you so the solution could actually be looser.
Anyway, maybe I can help more if I can reproduce that on my own machine.
Best,
Chen
