[PATCH v2] x86/unwind/orc: add ELF section with ORC version identifier
From: Omar Sandoval
Date: Tue Jun 13 2023 - 17:15:11 EST
From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>
Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.
It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.
This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

Hi,
This is v2 of my patch to make it possible for external tools like drgn
to identify versions of the ORC format. As stated in v1 [1], I don't
want ORC to be stable ABI; I just need a way to identify the format
being used.
This version incorporates Peter's suggestion to hash the ORC definitions
instead of requiring a manual version number; this is easier to maintain
and more resilient to backports.
I would love to get this in before 6.4 is released, and then hopefully
backport it to 6.3-stable.
This is based on Linus' tree as of today (commit
fb054096aea0576f0c0a61c598e5e9676443ee86).
Thanks!
Omar
