objtool currently only compiles for x86 architectures. This is
fine as it presently does not support tooling for other
architectures. However, we would like to be able to convert other
kernel tools to run as objtool sub commands because they too
process ELF object files. This will allow us to convert tools
such as recordmcount to use objtool's ELF code.
Since much of recordmcount's ELF code is copy-paste code to/from
a variety of other kernel tools (look at modpost for example) this
means that if we can convert recordmcount we can convert more.
We define "missing" weak definitions for subcommand entry functions
and other weak definitions for shared functions critical to
building existing subcommands. These return 127 when the command is
missing which signify tools that do not exist on all architectures.
In this case the "check" and "orc" tools do not exist on all
architectures so we only add them for x86. Future changes adding
support for "check", to arm64 for example, can then modify the
SUBCMD_CHECK variable when building for arm64.
objtool is not currently wired in to KConfig to be built for other
architectures because it's not needed for those architectures and
there are no commands it supports other than those for x86. As more
command support is enabled on various architectures the necessary
KConfig changes can be made (e.g. adding "STACK_VALIDATION") to
trigger building objtool.

I think the aliased "missing_" functions are no longer needed, right?
i.e. can we just have weak versions of check() and orc_dump()?
Otherwise everything looks good to me.

Oops, Yeah, we can remove those aliases. I can fix and resend this one if you
like.

Excellent. I'm thinking I'll get the relocs patches posted as an RFC next...

Nit: I was thinking, since the list of SUBCMD_* is only going to grow
maybe it would be nicer to have a single export line for the SUBCMD_*
variables and leave the export line of [srctree..AWK] untouched.
Just a suggestion, and only in case you respin this taking into account
Josh's comment.
Otherwise things look good to me.

I made that change along with Julien's suggestion, and also made a few
other changes to the weak file: a __weak macro and some error messages.
Does this look ok?

Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Enable compilation of objtool for all architectures
Objtool currently only compiles for x86 architectures. This is
fine as it presently does not support tooling for other
architectures. However, we would like to be able to convert other
kernel tools to run as objtool sub commands because they too
process ELF object files. This will allow us to convert tools
such as recordmcount to use objtool's ELF code.
Since much of recordmcount's ELF code is copy-paste code to/from
a variety of other kernel tools (look at modpost for example) this
means that if we can convert recordmcount we can convert more.
We define weak definitions for subcommand entry functions and other weak
definitions for shared functions critical to building existing
subcommands. These return 127 when the command is missing which signify
tools that do not exist on all architectures. In this case the "check"
and "orc" tools do not exist on all architectures so we only add them
for x86. Future changes adding support for "check", to arm64 for
example, can then modify the SUBCMD_CHECK variable when building for
arm64.
Objtool is not currently wired in to KConfig to be built for other
architectures because it's not needed for those architectures and
there are no commands it supports other than those for x86. As more
command support is enabled on various architectures the necessary
KConfig changes can be made (e.g. adding "STACK_VALIDATION") to
trigger building objtool.

Just a note in case anyone reviews this thread later:
I chose to return 127 rather than an errno value because it eventually
gets set as the exit status and bash, at least, uses 127 for "function not
defined". ENOSYS makes more sense internally and does "fit" as an exit
status so changing to ENOSYS does make more sense.

That's a really good idea actually. Glad to see Josh included it in the
