2025-11-24objtool: Add wide output for disassemblyAlexandre Chartre
Add the --wide option to provide a wide output when disassembling. With this option, the disassembly of alternatives is displayed side-by-side instead of one above the other.

Add the --disas=<function-pattern> actions to disassemble the specified functions. The function pattern can be a single function name (e.g. --disas foo to disassemble the function with the name "foo"), or a shell wildcard pattern (e.g. --disas foo* to disassemble all functions with a name starting with "foo").

The --backup option was removed with the following commit: aa8b3e64fd39 ("objtool: Create backup on error and print args") ... which tied the backup functionality to --verbose, and only for warnings/errors. It's a bit inelegant and out of scope to tie that to --verbose.

2025-09-03objtool: Add action to check for absence of absolute relocationsArd Biesheuvel
The x86 startup code must not use absolute references to code or data, as it executes before the kernel virtual mapping is up. Add an action to objtool to check all allocatable sections (with the exception of __patchable_function_entries, which uses absolute references for nebulous reasons) and raise an error if any absolute references are found. Note that debug sections typically contain lots of absolute references too, but those are not allocatable so they will be ignored.

2022-11-01objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbolsPeter Zijlstra
When code is compiled with: -fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES} functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders and other things that symbolize code locations will typically attribute these bytes to the preceding function. Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this mis-attribution is confusing. Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do the same. Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET instruction. Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0. This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END. If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be reported. There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances: - UNTRAIN_RET itself - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is also redundant. Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which identifies a linked object. Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for manual vmlinux runs.

2022-04-22objtool: Make stack validation frame-pointer-specificJosh Poimboeuf
Now that CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION is frame-pointer specific, do the same for the '--stackval' option. Now the '--no-fp' option is redundant and can be removed.

2022-04-22objtool: Add option to print section addressesJosh Poimboeuf
To help prevent objtool users from having to do math to convert function addresses to section addresses, and to help out with finding data addresses reported by IBT validation, add an option to print the section address in addition to the function address.

2022-04-22objtool: Ditch subcommandsJosh Poimboeuf
Objtool has a fairly singular focus. It runs on object files and does validations and transformations which can be combined in various ways. The subcommand model has never been a good fit, making it awkward to combine and remove options. Remove the "check" and "orc" subcommands in favor of a more traditional cmdline option model. This makes it much more flexible to use, and easier to port individual features to other arches.

2022-04-22objtool: Reorganize cmdline optionsJosh Poimboeuf
Split the existing options into two groups: actions, which actually do something; and options, which modify the actions in some way. Also there's no need to have short flags for all the non-action options. Reserve short flags for the more important actions. While at it: - change a few of the short flags to be more intuitive - make option descriptions more consistently descriptive - sort options in the source like they are when printed - move options to a global struct Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/9dcaa752f83aca24b1b21f0b0eeb28a0c181c0b0.1650300597.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com
2022-03-15objtool: Validate IBT assumptionsPeter Zijlstra
Intel IBT requires that every indirect JMP/CALL targets an ENDBR instructions, failing this #CP happens and we die. Similarly, all exception entries should be ENDBR. Find all code relocations and ensure they're either an ENDBR instruction or ANNOTATE_NOENDBR. For the exceptions look for UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at sym+0 not being ENDBR.
