Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/unwind/orc: Silence warnings caused by missing ORC data

The ORC unwinder attempts to fall back to frame pointers when ORC data
is missing for a given instruction. It sets state->error, but then
tries to keep going as a best-effort type of thing. That may result in
further warnings if the unwinder gets lost.

Until we have some way to register generated code with the unwinder,
missing ORC will be expected, and occasionally going off the rails will
also be expected. So don't warn about it.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/unwind/orc: Disable KASAN checking in the ORC unwinder, part 2

KASAN reserves "redzone" areas between stack frames in order to detect
stack overruns. A read or write to such an area triggers a KASAN
"stack-out-of-bounds" BUG.

Normally, the ORC unwinder stays in-bounds and doesn't access the
redzone. But sometimes it can't find ORC metadata for a given
instruction. This can happen for code which is missing ORC metadata, or
for generated code. In such cases, the unwinder attempts to fall back
to frame pointers, as a best-effort type thing.

This fallback often works, but when it doesn't, the unwinder can get
confused and go off into the weeds into the KASAN redzone, triggering
the aforementioned KASAN BUG.

But in this case, the unwinder's confusion is actually harmless and
working as designed. It already has checks in place to prevent
off-stack accesses, but those checks get short-circuited by the KASAN
BUG. And a BUG is a lot more disruptive than a harmless unwinder
warning.

Disable the KASAN checks by using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() for all stack
accesses. This finishes the job started by commit 881125bfe65b
("x86/unwind: Disable KASAN checking in the ORC unwinder"), which only
partially fixed the issue.

I was the one who asked for this to be backported, since it solved the

I recently ran into another variant of missing ORC data, some files are
simply not processed by objtool, eg. arch/x86/realmode/init.c. Would it
make sense to have the vmlinux pass (when it isn't used to generate orc
in the first place) also check that all code it finds has ORC data?

It's not fool proof, but it should help find files we're missing for
some raisin.

Doesn't validate_reachable_instructions() basically already do that?

Nope, I'm talking about the case where we generate ORC for each .o file
(and 'forget' to run objtool on some of them). And then run objtool
again on vmlinux to validate (things like noinstr).

At that point it might make sense to also check that all code does
indeed have an ORC to double check our initial (per translation unit)
invocation didn't accidentally miss someone.

What I meant was, validate_reachable_instructions() should already be
able to report that situation, if it were called on vmlinux. Right now
I think noinstr avoids calling it.

I'm already working on some vmlinux rework which will enable that
checking. Then we'll have to go through the unreachable warnings and
try to fix them.

x86/unwind/orc: Silence warnings caused by missing ORC data

The ORC unwinder attempts to fall back to frame pointers when ORC data
is missing for a given instruction. It sets state->error, but then
tries to keep going as a best-effort type of thing. That may result in
further warnings if the unwinder gets lost.

Until we have some way to register generated code with the unwinder,
missing ORC will be expected, and occasionally going off the rails will
also be expected. So don't warn about it.

The ORC unwinder attempts to fall back to frame pointers when ORC data
is missing for a given instruction. It sets state->error, but then
tries to keep going as a best-effort type of thing. That may result in
further warnings if the unwinder gets lost.

Until we have some way to register generated code with the unwinder,
missing ORC will be expected, and occasionally going off the rails will
also be expected. So don't warn about it.

x86/unwind/orc: Disable KASAN checking in the ORC unwinder, part 2

KASAN reserves "redzone" areas between stack frames in order to detect
stack overruns. A read or write to such an area triggers a KASAN
"stack-out-of-bounds" BUG.

Normally, the ORC unwinder stays in-bounds and doesn't access the
redzone. But sometimes it can't find ORC metadata for a given
instruction. This can happen for code which is missing ORC metadata, or
for generated code. In such cases, the unwinder attempts to fall back
to frame pointers, as a best-effort type thing.

This fallback often works, but when it doesn't, the unwinder can get
confused and go off into the weeds into the KASAN redzone, triggering
the aforementioned KASAN BUG.

But in this case, the unwinder's confusion is actually harmless and
working as designed. It already has checks in place to prevent
off-stack accesses, but those checks get short-circuited by the KASAN
BUG. And a BUG is a lot more disruptive than a harmless unwinder
warning.

Disable the KASAN checks by using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() for all stack
accesses. This finishes the job started by commit 881125bfe65b
("x86/unwind: Disable KASAN checking in the ORC unwinder"), which only
partially fixed the issue.

x86/unwind/orc: Silence warnings caused by missing ORC data

The ORC unwinder attempts to fall back to frame pointers when ORC data
is missing for a given instruction. It sets state->error, but then
tries to keep going as a best-effort type of thing. That may result in
further warnings if the unwinder gets lost.

missing ORC will be expected, and occasionally going off the rails will
also be expected. So don't warn about it.
