[PATCH v2] arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv

[Masahiro Yamada]

Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux
since commit 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the
link order of head.o").

The issue is that the type of .notes section, which contains the BuildID,
changed from NOTES to PROGBITS.

Ard Biesheuvel figured out that whichever object gets linked first gets
to decide the type of a section. The PROGBITS type is the result of the
compiler emitting .note.GNU-stack as PROGBITS rather than NOTE.

While Ard provided a fix for arm64, I want to fix this globally because
the same issue is happening on riscv since commit 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv:
remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). This problem
will happen in general for other architectures if they start to drop
unneeded entries from scripts/head-object-list.txt.

Discard .note.GNU-stack in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

I just bisected this change as the cause of a few link failures that we
now see in CI with Debian's binutils (2.35.2):

https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/clangbuiltlinux/continuous-integration2/builds/2Jjl88DXc3YRi2RtvXAzlS8NQ4p/build.log

This does not appear to be related to clang/LLVM because I can easily
reproduce it with Debian's s390x GCC and binutils building defconfig:

$ s390x-linux-gnu-gcc --version | head -1
s390x-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110

I ended up bisecting binutils for the fix, as I could not reproduce it
with 2.36+. My bisect landed on commit 21401fc7bf6 ("Duplicate output
sections in scripts"):

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=21401fc7bf67dbf73f4a3eda4bcfc58fa4211584

Unfortunately, I cannot immediately grok why this commit cause the above
issue nor why the binutils commit resolves it so I figured I would
immediately report it for public investigation's sake and quicker
resolution.

Cheers,
Nathan

I just bisected this change as the cause of a few link failures that we
now see in CI with Debian's binutils (2.35.2):

https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/clangbuiltlinux/continuous-integration2/builds/2Jjl88DXc3YRi2RtvXAzlS8NQ4p/build.log

This does not appear to be related to clang/LLVM because I can easily
reproduce it with Debian's s390x GCC and binutils building defconfig:

$ s390x-linux-gnu-gcc --version | head -1

I ended up bisecting binutils for the fix, as I could not reproduce it
with 2.36+. My bisect landed on commit 21401fc7bf6 ("Duplicate output
sections in scripts"):

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=21401fc7bf67dbf73f4a3eda4bcfc58fa4211584

Unfortunately, I cannot immediately grok why this commit cause the above
issue nor why the binutils commit resolves it so I figured I would
immediately report it for public investigation's sake and quicker
resolution.

Cheers,
Nathan

Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced 99cb0d917ffa1ab628bb67364ca9b162c07699b1
#regzbot title arch: link failures in CI with Debian's binutils
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.

Reminder for developers: When fixing the issue, add 'Link:' tags
pointing to the report (see page linked in footer for details).

I do not understand why 99cb0d917ffa affected this.


I submitted a fix to shoot the error message "discarded section .exit.text"

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230105031306.1455409-1-masahiroy@kernel.org/T/#u

I do not understand the binutils commit either,
but it might have made something good
because EXIT_TEXT appears twice, in .exit.text, and /DISCARD/.

I do not understand why 99cb0d917ffa affected this.


I submitted a fix to shoot the error message "discarded section .exit.text"

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230105031306.1455409-1-masahiroy@kernel.org/T/#u

I do not understand the binutils commit either,
but it might have made something good
because EXIT_TEXT appears twice, in .exit.text, and /DISCARD/.

I think the issue is that the introdution of a second /DISCARD/
directive early in script changes the order of evaluation of the other
/DISCARD/ directive when binutils < 2.36 is used, so that the missing
RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT started to become relevant.  As long as /DISCARD/
only appears last, the effect of EXIT_TEXT inside it is always
overridden by its occurence in the .exit.exit output section directive.
When another /DISCARD/ occurs early (and binutils < 2.36 is used) the
effect of EXIT_TEXT inside the second /DISCARD/ (when merged with the
first) overrides its occurence in the .exit.text directive.  The
binutils commit changed that because the new /DISCARD/ directive no
longer affects the order of evaluation of the rest of the directives.

Exactly. The binutils change mentions output section merging, which
apparently applies to the /DISCARD/ pseudo section as well.

However, powerpc was also affected by this, and I suggested another
fix in the thread below

I'm working on powerpc fixes, which I think are all improvements
regardless of whether your change in the above thread is merged or not.

I'll try and get them posted tonight.

Thanks for the pointer.

(and sorry, I did not notice that thread, and missed to reply promptly)


Your fix will work globally.
I left some comments in that thread.

Re: [PATCH v2] arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv

[chenjiahao (C)]

Hi,

It seems this patch introduces a compile error on powerpc 85xx platform with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE enabled.

To reproduce the problem, I compiled the mainline linux kernel with patch
99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv"), using 
configure
file:

arch/powerpc/configs/85xx-32bit.config

and enabled CONFIG_RELOCATABLE manually. Then the compile log with
Segmentation fault appeared as below:

   ...
   AR      fs/proc/built-in.a
   AR      fs/built-in.a
   AR      built-in.a
   AR      vmlinux.a
   LD      vmlinux.o
   OBJCOPY modules.builtin.modinfo
   GEN     modules.builtin
   MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
   UPD     include/generated/utsversion.h
   CC      init/version-timestamp.o
   LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 139
Makefile:1252: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2

Could anyone reproduce above error, or have I missed anything else?

Thanks,
Jiahao
