[PATCH 5.15 5.10 5.4 v2] kbuild: fix Build ID if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS

[Tom Saeger]

Backport of:
commit 0d362be5b142 ("Makefile: link with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments")
breaks arm64 Build ID when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y for all kernels
from: commit e4484a495586 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-v5.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild")
until: commit df202b452fe6 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild")

Linus's tree doesn't have this issue since 0d362be5b142 was merged
after df202b452fe6 which included:
commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS")

This kernel's KBUILD CONFIG_MODVERSIONS tooling compiles and links .S targets
with relocatable (-r) and now (-z noexecstack)
which results in ld adding a .note.GNU-stack section to .o files.
Final linking of vmlinux should add a .NOTES segment containing the
Build ID, but does NOT (on some architectures like arm64) if a
.note.GNU-stack section is found in .o's supplied during link
of vmlinux.

DISCARD .note.GNU-stack sections of .S targets.  Final link of
vmlinux then properly adds .NOTES segment containing Build ID that can
be read using tools like 'readelf -n'.

Fixes: 0d362be5b142 ("Makefile: link with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments")

v2:
  - Changed approach to append DISCARD section to generated linker script.
    - ld no longer emits warning (which was intent of 0d362b35b142) this
      addresses Nick's v1 feedback.
    - this is applied to all arches, not just arm64
  - added commit refs and notes why this doesn't occur in Linus's tree
    to address Greg's v1 feedback.
  - added Fixes: 0d362b35b142 requested by Nick
  - added note to changelog for 7b4537199a4a requested by Nick

Why can't we add this one instead of a custom change?

I need some acks from some developers/maintainers before I can take
this... {hint}

I quickly abandoned that route - there are too many dependencies.

How many?  Why?  Whenever we add a "this is not upstream" patch, 90% of
the time it is incorrect and causes problems (merge issues included.)
So please please please let's try to keep in sync with what is in
Linus's tree.

Ok - I spent some time on this.

The haystack I searched:

  git rev-list --grep="masahiroy/linux-kbuild" v5.15..v5.19-rc1 | while read -r CID ; do git rev-list "${CID}^-" ; done | wc -l
  182

I have 54 of those 182 applied to 5.15.85, and this works in my
limited build testing (x86_64 gcc, arm64 gcc, arm64 clang).

I haven't tried minimizing the 54.

Greg - is 54 too many?

What about a partial revert like:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 9f5d2e87150e..aa0f7578653d 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -1083,7 +1083,9 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS   += $(KCFLAGS)
 KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE += --build-id=sha1
 LDFLAGS_vmlinux += --build-id=sha1

+ifneq ($(ARCH),$(filter $(ARCH),arm64))
 KBUILD_LDFLAGS += -z noexecstack
+endif
 ifeq ($(CONFIG_LD_IS_BFD),y)
 KBUILD_LDFLAGS += $(call ld-option,--no-warn-rwx-segments)
 endif


Only arm64 gcc/ld builds would need to change (with the option of adding
other architectures if anyone reports same issue).

With a full revert we lose --no-warn-rwx-segments and warnings show-up
with later versions of ld.


I did open a bug against 'ld' as Nick requested:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29994

If this is this is a better way to go - I can form up a v3 patch.

The patch discussed here fixes arm64 Build ID for 5.15, 5.10, and 5.4:

Great, please let me know when this hits Linus's tree and I will be glad
to queue it up.

Hi Greg,

  Masahiroy's commit is already in Linus's tree.

❯ git log -n1 --format=oneline 99cb0d917ffa

Using 'git tag' doesn't always show the best info, better is the
following:
	$ git describe --contains 99cb0d917ffa1ab628bb67364ca9b162c07699b1
	v6.2-rc2~5^2~6

Anyway, I'll look at this after the next round gets released, thanks!

And it broke the builds on all backports :(

I'm going to drop this now, and the fixup patches, from all branches.
Please resubmit a set of _working_ commits for all branches that you
care about, and I will be glad to reconsider them then, as obviously
this was not tested very well.

Re: [PATCH 5.15 5.10 5.4 v2] kbuild: fix Build ID if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS

Tom, thanks for pursuing this. Sorry I'm falling behind in reviews
(going offline soon for the holidays).  Some additional questions:

Just arm64? Why not other architectures?

Is that a bug in BFD?  That the behavior differs per target
architecture is subtle.  If it's not documented behavior that you can
link to, can you file a bug about your findings and cc me?
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=binutils

If it is a bug in BFD, then I'm not opposed to working around it, but
it would be good to have as precise a report as possible in the commit
message if we're going to do hijinks in a stable-only patch for
existing tooling.

If it's a feature, having some explanation _why_ we get per-arch
behavior like this may be helpful for us to link to in the future
should this come up again.

That's going to give them an executable stack again.
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/linkers-warnings-about-executable-stacks-and-segments
>> missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
The intent of 0d362be5b142 is that we don't want translation units to
have executable stacks, though I do note that assembler sources need
to opt in.

Is it possible to force a build-id via linker flag `--build-id=sha1`?

If not, can we just use `-z execstack` rather than concatenating a
DISCARD section into a linker script?  Either command line flags feel
cleaner than modifying a linker script at build time, if they work
that is.

I've only encountered this with arm64 and specifically NOT with x86.
I suspect other architectures may encounter this, but I haven't tried.

v1 cover has a simple example if someone has capability/time to adapt to
another architecture.

- enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
- build
- readelf -n vmlinux

While I agree - *I* don't have an explanation (despite digging), only
work-arounds.

That's an idea - I'll see if this works.

so... something like v1 patch, but replace `-z noexecstack` with `-z
execstack`?  And for arm64 only?  I'll try this.

well... that entire linker script is generated at build-time.

I wonder if that's an observation, or a statement of intended design.
A comment in a bug tracker is perhaps less normative than explicit
documentation.

Probably doesn't hurt to include that link in the commit message as well.

Seems x86 specific...

Nick Clifton is cc'ed and might be able to provide more details

That's fine. That's why I'd rather have a bug on file that we link to
stating we're working around this until we have a more definitive
review of this surprising behavior.  Please file a bug wrt. this
behavior.

If --build-id doesn't work, then I'd try this. Doesn't have to be
arm64 only if it's difficult to express that.

--build-id=sha1 is already being supplied during link of vmlinux

I went back to only trying this on arch/arm64/kernel/head.S

-z noexecstack doesn't work
-z execstack   also doesn't work
but removing both does work.

The flow is roughly:

gcc head.S -> head.o
ld -z noexecstack head.o -> .tmp_head.o
mv -f .tmp_head.o head.o
ld -o vmlinux --whole-archive arch/arm64/kernel/head.o ...

If I supply just the compiled head.o, not .tmp_head.o everything works.

ld of head.o with either {-z noexecstack or -z execstack}
adds ".note.GNU-stack" section to the .o

This seems to be the difference.

Ideas on how to proceed?

Sorry, this is incorrect.  ld of vmlinux actually failed.

relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `__crc_kimage_vaddr' can not be used when making a shared object
arch/arm64/kernel/head.o.orig: in function `__primary_switch':
.../arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:897:(.idmap.text+0x458): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation
.../arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:897:(.idmap.text+0x460): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation
