Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: align syscall table for ppc32
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2022 01:51:29 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220820165129.1147589-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

Christophe Leroy reported that commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link
symbol CRCs at final link,  removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") broke
mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

  WARNING: 451 bad relocations

  c0b312b9 R_PPC_UADDR32     .head.text-0x3fe183a8
      ...

The compiler emits a bunch of R_PPC_UADDR32, which is not supported by
arch/powerpc/kernel/reloc_32.S.

The reason is there exists an unaligned symbol.

  $ powerpc-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux
    ...
  c0b31258 d spe_aligninfo
  c0b31298 d __func__.0
  c0b312a9 D sys_call_table
  c0b319b8 d __func__.0

Commit 7b4537199a4a is not the root cause. Even before that, I can
reproduce the same issue for mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
+ CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n.

It is just that nobody did not notice it because when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
is enabled, a __crc_* symbol inserted before sys_call_table was hiding
the unalignment issue.

I checked the commit history, but I could not understand commit
46b45b10f142 ("[POWERPC] Align the sys_call_table").

It said 'Our _GLOBAL macro does a ".align 2" so the alignment is fine
for 32 bit'. I checked the _GLOBAL in include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h
at that time. _GLOBAL specifies ".align 2" for ppc64, but no .align
for ppc32.

Commit c857c43b34ec ("powerpc: Don't use a function descriptor for
system call table") removed _GLOBAL from the syscall table.

Anyway, adding alignment to the syscall table for ppc32 fixes the issue.

I am not giving Fixes tag because I do not know since when it has been
broken, but presumably it has been for a long while.
