The reason is that the linker will insert veneers if relative branches go out of range, and due to the relative distance of the .altinstr_replacement from the .text section where its branch targets usually live, veneers may be emitted at the end of the .altinstr_replacement section, with the relative branches in the sequence pointed at the veneers instead of the actual target. The alternatives patching logic will attempt to fix up the branch to point to its original target, which will be the veneer in this case, but given that the patch site is likely to be far away as well, it will be out of range and so patching will fail. There are other cases where these veneers are problematic, e.g., when the target of the branch is in .text while the patch site is in .init.text, in which case putting the replacement sequence inside .text may not help either. So let's use subsections to emit the replacement code as closely as possible to the patch site, to ensure that veneers are only likely to be emitted if they are required at the patch site as well, in which case they will be in range for the replacement sequence both before and after it is transported to the patch site. This will prevent alternative sequences in non-init code from being released from memory after boot, but this is tolerable given that the entire section is only 512 KB on an allyesconfig build (which weighs in at 500+ MB for the entire Image). Also, note that modules today carry the replacement sequences in non-init sections as well, and any of those that target init code will be emitted into init sections after this change. This fixes an early crash when booting an allyesconfig kernel on a system where any of the alternatives sequences containing relative branches are activated at boot (e.g., ARM64_HAS_PAN on TX2) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Cc: Suzuki K Poulose Cc: James Morse Cc: Andre Przywara Cc: Dave P Martin Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200630081921.13443-1-ardb@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative.h | 16 ++++++++-------- arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 3 --- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative.h b/arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative.h index 5e5dc05d63a06..12f0eb56a1cc3 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative.h +++ b/arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative.h @@ -73,11 +73,11 @@ static inline void apply_alternatives_module(void *start, size_t length) { } ".pushsection .altinstructions,\"a\"\n" \ ALTINSTR_ENTRY(feature) \ ".popsection\n" \ - ".pushsection .altinstr_replacement, \"a\"\n" \ + ".subsection 1\n" \ "663:\n\t" \ newinstr "\n" \ "664:\n\t" \ - ".popsection\n\t" \ + ".previous\n\t" \ ".org . - (664b-663b) + (662b-661b)\n\t" \ ".org . - (662b-661b) + (664b-663b)\n" \ ".endif\n" @@ -117,9 +117,9 @@ static inline void apply_alternatives_module(void *start, size_t length) { } 662: .pushsection .altinstructions, "a" altinstruction_entry 661b, 663f, \cap, 662b-661b, 664f-663f .popsection - .pushsection .altinstr_replacement, "ax" + .subsection 1 663: \insn2 -664: .popsection +664: .previous .org . - (664b-663b) + (662b-661b) .org . - (662b-661b) + (664b-663b) .endif @@ -160,7 +160,7 @@ static inline void apply_alternatives_module(void *start, size_t length) { } .pushsection .altinstructions, "a" altinstruction_entry 663f, 661f, \cap, 664f-663f, 662f-661f .popsection - .pushsection .altinstr_replacement, "ax" + .subsection 1 .align 2 /* So GAS knows label 661 is suitably aligned */ 661: .endm @@ -179,9 +179,9 @@ static inline void apply_alternatives_module(void *start, size_t length) { } .macro alternative_else 662: .if .Lasm_alt_mode==0 - .pushsection .altinstr_replacement, "ax" + .subsection 1 .else - .popsection + .previous .endif 663: .endm @@ -192,7 +192,7 @@ static inline void apply_alternatives_module(void *start, size_t length) { } .macro alternative_endif 664: .if .Lasm_alt_mode==0 - .popsection + .previous .endif .org . - (664b-663b) + (662b-661b) .org . - (662b-661b) + (664b-663b) diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S index e1af25dbc57ea..8d0374ffdd2d6 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S @@ -172,9 +172,6 @@ SECTIONS *(.altinstructions) __alt_instructions_end = .; } - .altinstr_replacement : { - *(.altinstr_replacement) - } . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); __inittext_end = .; -- 2.25.1
