Subject: [PATCH v16 12/20] unwind_user/sframe: Add .sframe validation option
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 16:25:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521142546.3908498-13-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521142546.3908498-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>

Add a debug feature to validate all .sframe sections when first loading
the file rather than on demand.

[ Jens Remus: Add support for SFrame V3.  Add support for PC-relative
FDE function start offset.  Adjust to rename of struct sframe_fre to
sframe_fre_internal.  Use %#x/%#lx format specifiers. ]

Notes (jremus):
    Changes in v16:
    - sframe_validate_section(): Allow for a FDE[0] function start address
      of zero. (Sashiko AI)
    - sframe_validate_section(): Replace alternation between two FREs with
      simpler logic used for FDE and use a prev_ip_off.
    
    Changes in v15:
    - sframe_validate_section(): Fix format specifier for number of FREs
      in debug message. (Sashiko AI)
    - Normalize error code usage (.sframe is removed for all but ENOENT):
      ENOENT: No sframe or no FDE for IP found
              (FDE found but no FRE is EINVAL)
      EFAULT: Bad address
      EINVAL: Invalid input or sframe
    
    Changes in v14:
    - Add debug message if safe_read_fde() fails.
    - Update function names in debug messages.
    - Uppercase terms FDE and FRE in debug messages.
    
    Changes in v13:
    - Update to SFrame V3:
      - Print struct sframe_fde_internal fields fda_off and info2 in debug
        message.
    - Adjust to rename of struct sframe_fde_internal field func_start_addr
      to func_addr.
    - Use format strings "%#x" and "%#lx" instead of "0x%x" and "0x%lx".
    - Reword commit message (my changes).

+	  load immediately, with more information provided in dynamic printks.
+
