Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86/rust: depend on !RETHUNK
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 19:44:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231023174449.251550-3-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231023174449.251550-1-ojeda@kernel.org>

The Rust compiler does not support the equivalent of
`-mfunction-return=thunk-extern` yet [1]. Thus, currently, `objtool`
warns about it, e.g.:

    samples/rust/rust_print.o: warning: objtool: _R...init+0xa5c:
    'naked' return found in RETHUNK build

The support in `rustc` for `-Zfunction-return` has been submitted and
is being reviewed [2]. It adds the needed LLVM function attributes and,
with it, I got a RETHUNK kernel build with Rust enabled that does not
print the `objtool` related warnings, boots in QEMU and can load a kernel
loadable module.

In any case, until proper/complete support is added to `rustc`, make it
a hard restriction until the mitigation is in place.

This may have an impact for developers that may not need/care about the
mitigation in the Rust side (e.g. Ubuntu offers Rust as a "technology
preview" [3]), but given we are getting closer to having the first actual
in-tree Rust kernel users, it seems like the right time to disallow
it. This should also avoid confusion [4].
