From 6d65028eb67dbb7627651adfc460d64196d38bd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman mpe@ellerman.id.au Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 22:50:10 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/vdso: Fix incorrect CFI in gettimeofday.S
As reported by Alan, the CFI (Call Frame Information) in the VDSO time routines is incorrect since commit ce7d8056e38b ("powerpc/vdso: Prepare for switching VDSO to generic C implementation.").
DWARF has a concept called the CFA (Canonical Frame Address), which on powerpc is calculated as an offset from the stack pointer (r1). That means when the stack pointer is changed there must be a corresponding CFI directive to update the calculation of the CFA.
The current code is missing those directives for the changes to r1, which prevents gdb from being able to generate a backtrace from inside VDSO functions, eg:
Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime () (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime () #1 0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007fffffffd960 in ?? () #3 0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
Alan helpfully describes some rules for correctly maintaining the CFI information:
1) Every adjustment to the current frame address reg (ie. r1) must be described, and exactly at the instruction where r1 changes. Why? Because stack unwinding might want to access previous frames.
2) If a function changes LR or any non-volatile register, the save location for those regs must be given. The CFI can be at any instruction after the saves up to the point that the reg is changed. (Exception: LR save should be described before a bl. not after)
3) If asychronous unwind info is needed then restores of LR and non-volatile regs must also be described. The CFI can be at any instruction after the reg is restored up to the point where the save location is (potentially) trashed.
Fix the inability to backtrace by adding CFI directives describing the changes to r1, ie. satisfying rule 1.
Also change the information for LR to point to the copy saved on the stack, not the value in r0 that will be overwritten by the function call.
Finally, add CFI directives describing the save/restore of r2.
With the fix gdb can correctly back trace and navigate up and down the stack:
