Subject: [PATCH 5.15 526/667] objtool: Fix symbol creation
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
commit ead165fa1042247b033afad7be4be9b815d04ade upstream.
Nathan reported objtool failing with the following messages:
warning: objtool: no non-local symbols !?
warning: objtool: gelf_update_symshndx: invalid section index
The problem is due to commit 4abff6d48dbc ("objtool: Fix code relocs
vs weak symbols") failing to consider the case where an object would
have no non-local symbols.
The problem that commit tries to address is adding a STB_LOCAL symbol
to the symbol table in light of the ELF spec's requirement that:
In each symbol table, all symbols with STB_LOCAL binding preced the
weak and global symbols. As ``Sections'' above describes, a symbol
table section's sh_info section header member holds the symbol table
index for the first non-local symbol.
The approach taken is to find this first non-local symbol, move that
to the end and then re-use the freed spot to insert a new local symbol
and increment sh_info.
Except it never considered the case of object files without global
symbols and got a whole bunch of details wrong -- so many in fact that
it is a wonder it ever worked :/
Specifically:
- It failed to re-hash the symbol on the new index, so a subsequent
find_symbol_by_index() would not find it at the new location and a
query for the old location would now return a non-deterministic
choice between the old and new symbol.
- It failed to appreciate that the GElf wrappers are not a valid disk
format (it works because GElf is basically Elf64 and we only
support x86_64 atm.)
- It failed to fully appreciate how horrible the libelf API really is
and got the gelf_update_symshndx() call pretty much completely
wrong; with the direct consequence that if inserting a second
STB_LOCAL symbol would require moving the same STB_GLOBAL symbol
again it would completely come unstuck.
Write a new elf_update_symbol() function that wraps all the magic
required to update or create a new symbol at a given index.
Specifically, gelf_update_sym*() require an @ndx argument that is
relative to the @data argument; this means you have to manually
iterate the section data descriptor list and update @ndx.
Fixes: 4abff6d48dbc ("objtool: Fix code relocs vs weak symbols")
