Mark Rutland d3b6b5596c arm64: Force position-independent veneers 
[ Upstream commit 9abe390e689f4f5c23c5f507754f8678431b4f72 ]

Certain portions of code always need to be position-independent
regardless of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, including code which is executed in an
idmap or which is executed before relocations are applied. In some
kernel configurations the LLD linker generates position-dependent
veneers for such code, and when executed these result in early boot-time
failures.

Marc Zyngier encountered a boot failure resulting from this when
building a (particularly cursed) configuration with LLVM, as he reported
to the list:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/86wmjwvatn.wl-maz@kernel.org/

In Marc's kernel configuration, the .head.text and .rodata.text sections
end up more than 128MiB apart, requiring a veneer to branch between the
two:

| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% usekorg 14.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -t vmlinux | grep -w _text
| ffff800080000000 g       .head.text     0000000000000000 _text
| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% usekorg 14.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -t vmlinux | grep -w primary_entry
| ffff8000889df0e0 g       .rodata.text   000000000000006c primary_entry,

... consequently, LLD inserts a position-dependent veneer for the branch
from _stext (in .head.text) to primary_entry (in .rodata.text):

| ffff800080000000 <_text>:
| ffff800080000000:       fa405a4d        ccmp    x18, #0x0, #0xd, pl     // pl = nfrst
| ffff800080000004:       14003fff        b       ffff800080010000 <__AArch64AbsLongThunk_primary_entry>
...
| ffff800080010000 <__AArch64AbsLongThunk_primary_entry>:
| ffff800080010000:       58000050        ldr     x16, ffff800080010008 <__AArch64AbsLongThunk_primary_entry+0x8>
| ffff800080010004:       d61f0200        br      x16
| ffff800080010008:       889df0e0        .word   0x889df0e0
| ffff80008001000c:       ffff8000        .word   0xffff8000

... and as this is executed early in boot before the kernel is mapped in
TTBR1 this results in a silent boot failure.

Fix this by passing '--pic-veneer' to the linker, which will cause the
linker to use position-independent veneers, e.g.

| ffff800080000000 <_text>:
| ffff800080000000:       fa405a4d        ccmp    x18, #0x0, #0xd, pl     // pl = nfrst
| ffff800080000004:       14003fff        b       ffff800080010000 <__AArch64ADRPThunk_primary_entry>
...
| ffff800080010000 <__AArch64ADRPThunk_primary_entry>:
| ffff800080010000:       f004e3f0        adrp    x16, ffff800089c8f000 <__idmap_text_start>
| ffff800080010004:       91038210        add     x16, x16, #0xe0
| ffff800080010008:       d61f0200        br      x16

I've opted to pass '--pic-veneer' unconditionally, as:

* In addition to solving the boot failure, these sequences are generally
  nicer as they require fewer instructions and don't need to perform
  data accesses.

* While the position-independent veneer sequences have a limited +/-2GiB
  range, this is not a new restriction. Even kernels built with
  CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n are limited to 2GiB in size as we have several
  structues using 32-bit relative offsets and PPREL32 relocations, which
  are similarly limited to +/-2GiB in range. These include extable
  entries, jump table entries, and alt_instr entries.

* GNU LD defaults to using position-independent veneers, and supports
  the same '--pic-veneer' option, so this change is not expected to
  adversely affect GNU LD.

I've tested with GNU LD 2.30 to 2.42 inclusive and LLVM 13.0.1 to 19.1.0
inclusive, using the kernel.org binaries from:

* https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/
* https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

        Signed-off-by: Fred Jones <fred.jones@foo.org>
  • then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream
