Patch "x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32 to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: x86-treat-r_x86_64_plt32-as-r_x86_64_pc32.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From b21ebf2fb4cde1618915a97cc773e287ff49173e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 14:20:09 -0800 Subject: x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32 From: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools(a)gmail.com> commit b21ebf2fb4cde1618915a97cc773e287ff49173e upstream. On i386, there are 2 types of PLTs, PIC and non-PIC. PIE and shared objects must use PIC PLT. To use PIC PLT, you need to load _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ into EBX first. There is no need for that on x86-64 since x86-64 uses PC-relative PLT. On x86-64, for 32-bit PC-relative branches, we can generate PLT32 relocation, instead of PC32 relocation, which can also be used as a marker for 32-bit PC-relative branches. Linker can always reduce PLT32 relocation to PC32 if function is defined locally. Local functions should use PC32 relocation. As far as Linux kernel is concerned, R_X86_64_PLT32 can be treated the same as R_X86_64_PC32 since Linux kernel doesn't use PLT. R_X86_64_PLT32 for 32-bit PC-relative branches has been enabled in binutils master branch which will become binutils 2.31. [ hjl is working on having better documentation on this all, but a few more notes from him: "PLT32 relocation is used as marker for PC-relative branches. Because of EBX, it looks odd to generate PLT32 relocation on i386 when EBX doesn't have GOT. As for symbol resolution, PLT32 and PC32 relocations are almost interchangeable. But when linker sees PLT32 relocation against a protected symbol, it can resolved locally at link-time since it is used on a branch instruction.

Add patch "x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32" to stable?

by Matthias Kaehlcke

Hi Greg, The below patch recently landed in Linus' tree: commit b21ebf2fb4cde1618915a97cc773e287ff49173e Author: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed Feb 7 14:20:09 2018 -0800 x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32 On i386, there are 2 types of PLTs, PIC and non-PIC. PIE and shared objects must use PIC PLT. To use PIC PLT, you need to load _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ into EBX first. There is no need for that on x86-64 since x86-64 uses PC-relative PLT. On x86-64, for 32-bit PC-relative branches, we can generate PLT32 relocation, instead of PC32 relocation, which can also be used as a marker for 32-bit PC-relative branches. Linker can always reduce PLT32 relocation to PC32 if function is defined locally. Local functions should use PC32 relocation. As far as Linux kernel is concerned, R_X86_64_PLT32 can be treated the same as R_X86_64_PC32 since Linux kernel doesn't use PLT. R_X86_64_PLT32 for 32-bit PC-relative branches has been enabled in binutils master branch which will become binutils 2.31. [ hjl is working on having better documentation on this all, but a few more notes from him: "PLT32 relocation is used as marker for PC-relative branches. Because of EBX, it looks odd to generate PLT32 relocation on i386 when EBX doesn't have GOT. As for symbol resolution, PLT32 and PC32 relocations are almost interchangeable. But when linker sees PLT32 relocation against a protected symbol, it can resolved locally at link-time since it is used on a branch instruction. Linker can't do that for PC32 relocation" but for the kernel use, the two are basically the same, and this commit gets things building and working with the current binutils master - Linus ] Signed-off-by: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools(a)gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds(a)linux-foundation.org> The commit message mentions that "R_X86_64_PLT32 for 32-bit PC-relative branches has been enabled in binutils master branch which will become binutils 2.31." This probably means that builds of older kernels could fail with binutils >= 2.31 and that the patch should be included in stable. FYI: for pre-v4.14 kernel you might also want to include the below patch. It isn't strictly needed, but is trivial and including it avoids a conflict. commit eda9cec4c9a12208a6f69fbe68f72a6311d50032 Author: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe(a)redhat.com> Date: Fri Nov 3 07:58:54 2017 -0500 x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations Thanks Matthias

Micrel PHYs do this for their interrupt registers. The current structure of phylib tries to enable interrupts before resuming (and releasing) the BMCR_PDOWN bit. This fails, causing Micrel PHYs to stop working after a suspend/resume sequence if they are using interrupts. Fix this by ensuring that the PHY driver resume methods do not take the phydev->lock mutex themselves, but the callers of phy_resume() take that lock. This then allows us to move the call to phy_resume() before we enable interrupts in phy_start().
