Subject[PATCH 3/5] lkdtm: add function for testing .rodata section
Message-ID<rHxcu-85W-29@gated-at.bofh.it>
This adds a function that lives in the .rodata section. The section
flags are corrected using objcopy since there is no way with gcc to
declare section flags in an architecture-agnostic way.

Permit me to be the bearer of bad architecture news once again. With
arm64 cross compiler (both Fedora 6.1.1 and Linaro 5.1)

   CC      drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o
   OBJCOPY drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o
   LD      drivers/misc/lkdtm.o
drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
scripts/Makefile.build:423: recipe for target 'drivers/misc/lkdtm.o' failed
make[2]: *** [drivers/misc/lkdtm.o] Error 1
scripts/Makefile.build:440: recipe for target 'drivers/misc' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/misc] Error 2
Makefile:985: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


As far as I can tell this is because arm64 defines OBJCOPYFLAGS and they get
propagated to objcopy

aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment
	-S --set-section-flags .text=alloc,readonly
	--rename-section .text=.rodata drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o

vs x86

objcopy  --set-section-flags .text=alloc,readonly --rename-section .text=.rodata
	drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o


specifically it's the -O binary that seems to break things, the same failure
happens on x86 as well with the the same commands. It works if I clear out
the OBJCOPYFLAGS variable first but I don't think that's the correct way to
fix this.

Thanks,
Laura

Uhhhh... How is arm64 injecting those extra flags? OBJCOPYFLAGS is
being set with := here?

In related news I need to figure out how to get my cross-compiler
builds more well scripted...

Looks like intended behavior from scripts/Makefile.lib:

# Objcopy
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

quiet_cmd_objcopy = OBJCOPY $@
cmd_objcopy = $(OBJCOPY) $(OBJCOPYFLAGS) $(OBJCOPYFLAGS_$(@F)) $< $@

OBJCOPYFLAGS_$@ is separate from OBJCOPYFLAGS which makes sense for the
original intentions although not what we want here. Some Makefile
wizardry is probably needed.

If I add:

OBJCOPYFLAGS :=

here, it seems to fix things...

I can confirm that this works on arm64

# echo EXEC_RODATA > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
[   21.725514] lkdtm: Performing direct entry EXEC_RODATA
[   21.725890] lkdtm: attempting ok execution at ffff0000084c0e08
[   21.726030] lkdtm: attempting bad execution at ffff000008880700
[   21.726401] Bad mode in Synchronous Abort handler detected on CPU2, code 0x8400000e -- IABT (current EL)
[   21.726847] CPU: 2 PID: 998 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.7.0-rc2+ #13

I wish the exception was clearer what the actual error was. I might propose a
patch to make it more obvious.

Thanks,
Laura
