Subject: [RFT PATCH 1/2] ARM: module: split core and init PLT sections
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 22:00:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487628041-2147-2-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1487628041-2147-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
Since commit 35fa91eed817 ("ARM: kernel: merge core and init PLTs"),
the ARM module PLT code allocates all PLT entries in a single core
section, since the overhead of having a separate init PLT section is
not justified by the small number of PLT entries usually required for
init code.
However, the core and init module regions are allocated independently,
and there is a corner case where the core region may be allocated from
the VMALLOC region if the dedicated module region is exhausted, but the
init region, being much smaller, can still be allocated from the module
region. This puts the PLT entries out of reach of the relocated branch
instructions, defeating the whole purpose of PLTs.
So split the core and init PLT regions, and name the latter ".init.plt"
so it gets allocated along with (and sufficiently close to) the .init
sections that it serves. This is not a straight revert, given that the
PLT code was heavily modified since the commit in question was merged.
Fixes: 35fa91eed817 ("ARM: kernel: merge core and init PLTs")
