Merge tag 'objtool-core-2025-12-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tipPull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf) Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input. This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch. Key improvements compared to kpatch-build: - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions. - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar. - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code. - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft. - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction. - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time. - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump (Alexandre Chartre) - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre, which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation specials such as alternatives: 17ef: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x62f mov 0x34(%r9),%edx 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | | X86_FEATURE_POPCNT 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | call 0x17f8 <__sw_hweight64> | popcnt %rdi,%rax 17f8: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x638 cmp %eax,%edx ... jump table alternatives: 1895: sched_use_asym_prio+0x5 test $0x8,%ch 1898: sched_use_asym_prio+0x8 je 0x18a9 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | | JUMP 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | jmp 0x18ae | nop2 189c: sched_use_asym_prio+0xc mov $0x1,%eax 18a1: sched_use_asym_prio+0x11 and $0x80,%ecx ... exception table alternatives: native_read_msr: 5b80: native_read_msr+0x0 mov %edi,%ecx 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | | EXCEPTION 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | rdmsr | resume at 0x5b84 5b84: native_read_msr+0x4 shl $0x20,%rdx .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above): 2faaf: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f jne 0x2fba4 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | | X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS | X86_BUG_NULL_SEG 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | jmp 0x2faba <.altinstr_aux+0x2f4> | jmp 0x4b0 | nop5 2faba: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x2a mov $0x2b,%eax ...

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 11:38:19 +0200

Merge branch 'objtool/core' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jpoimboe/linuxThis series introduces new objtool features and a klp-build script togenerate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generatelivepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a completerewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years ofmaintaining kpatch.Key improvements compared to kpatch-build: - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions. - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar. - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code. - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft. - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction. - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.The primary user interface is the klp-build script which does thefollowing: - Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and -fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming. - Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same options. - Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate intermediate binary diff objects. - Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c). - Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage) using 'objtool klp post-link'.I've tested with a variety of patches on defconfig and Fedora-configkernels with both GCC and Clang.

ff5c0466486ba8d07ab2700380e8fd6d5344b4e9 - scripts/faddr2line: Fix "Argument list too long" error

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:03:58 +0200

scripts/faddr2line: Fix "Argument list too long" errorThe run_readelf() function reads the entire output of readelf into asingle shell variable. For large object files with extensive debuginformation, the size of this variable can exceed the system'scommand-line argument length limit.When this variable is subsequently passed to sed via `echo "${out}"`, ittriggers an "Argument list too long" error, causing the script to fail.Fix this by redirecting the output of readelf to a temporary fileinstead of a variable. The sed commands are then modified to read fromthis file, avoiding the argument length limitation entirely.Signed-off-by: Pankaj Raghav Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf List of files: /linux/scripts/faddr2line
