Subject: [PATCH v3 00/21] objtool/arm64: Port klp-build to arm64
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 20:33:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
Based on tip/objtool/core.
v3:
- Too many changes to list. Did a lot of testing and fixed a bunch of
issues (many of which have already been merged in tip/objtool/core).
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/cover.1773787568.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
- patches 1-2 were merged, rebase on tip/master
- improve commit message for "objtool: Extricate checksum calculation from validate_branch()"
- add review tags
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/cover.1772681234.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
Port objtool and the klp-build tooling (for building livepatch modules)
to arm64.
Note this doesn't bring all the objtool bells and whistles to arm64, nor
any of the CFG reverse engineering. This only adds the bare minimum
needed for 'objtool --checksum'.
And note that objtool still doesn't get enabled at all for normal arm64
kernel builds, so this doesn't affect any users other than those running
klp-build directly.
Josh Poimboeuf (21):
klp-build: Reject patches to init/*.c
arm64: Annotate intra-function calls
arm64: Fix EFI linking with -fdata-sections
arm64: Rename TRAMP_VALIAS -> TRAMP_VALIAS_ASM in asm-offsets
arm64: vdso: Discard .discard.* sections
arm64: Annotate special section entries
crypto: arm64: Move data to .rodata
objtool: Allow setting --mnop without --mcount
kbuild: Only run objtool if there is at least one command
objtool: Ignore jumps to the end of the function for checksum runs
objtool: Allow empty alternatives
objtool: Refactor elf_add_data() to use a growable data buffer
objtool: Reuse string references
objtool: Prevent kCFI hashes from being decoded as instructions
objtool/klp: Add arm64 support for prefix/PFE detection
objtool/klp: Filter arm64 mapping symbols in find_symbol_by_offset()
objtool/klp: Don't correlate arm64 mapping symbols
objtool/klp: Clone inline alternative replacements
objtool/klp: Introduce objtool for arm64
klp-build: Support cross-compilation
klp-build: Add arm64 syscall patching macro
