objtool: Always fail on fatal errors

Objtool writes several object annotations which are used to enable
critical kernel runtime functionalities like static calls and
retpoline/rethunk patching.

In the rare case where it fails to read or write an object, the
annotations don't get written, causing runtime code patching to fail and
code to become corrupted.

Due to the catastrophic nature of such warnings, convert them to errors
which fail the build regardless of CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.

Revert "objtool: Increase per-function WARN_FUNC() rate limit"

This reverts commit 0a7fb6f07e3ad497d31ae9a2082d2cacab43d54a.

The "skipping duplicate warnings" warning is technically not an actual
warning, which can cause confusion. This feature isn't all that useful
anyway. It's exceedingly rare for a function to have more than one

objtool: Ignore end-of-section jumps for KCOV/GCOV

When KCOV or GCOV is enabled, dead code can be left behind, in which
case objtool silences unreachable and undefined behavior (fallthrough)
warnings.

Fallthrough warnings, and their variant "end of section" warnings, were
silenced with the following commit:

6b023c784204 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings")

Another variant of a fallthrough warning is a jump to the end of a
function. If that function happens to be at the end of a section, the
jump destination doesn't actually exist.

Normally that would be a fatal objtool error, but for KCOV/GCOV it's
just another undefined behavior fallthrough. Silence it like the
others.

Fixes the following warning:

drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.o: warning: objtool: iommu_dma_sw_msi+0x92: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x54d5

objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings

In the past there were issues with KCOV triggering unreachable
instruction warnings, which is why unreachable warnings are now disabled
with CONFIG_KCOV.

Now some new KCOV warnings are showing up with GCC 14:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cpuset_write_resmask() falls through to next function cpuset_update_active_cpus.cold()
drivers/usb/core/driver.o: error: objtool: usb_deregister() falls through to next function usb_match_device()
sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-wcd934x.o: warning: objtool: .text.wcd934x_slim_irq_handler: unexpected end of section

All are caused by GCC KCOV not finishing an optimization, leaving behind
a never-taken conditional branch to a basic block which falls through to
the next function (or end of section).

At a high level this is similar to the unreachable warnings mentioned
above, in that KCOV isn't fully removing dead code. Treat it the same
way by adding these to the list of warnings to ignore with CONFIG_KCOV.

objtool: Fix X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative handling

For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC,
uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible
code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't.

However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is
patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like
static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated.

Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either
original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach
which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the
insn->ignore bit.

Fixes the following warnings:

arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: do_user_addr_fault+0x8ec: __stack_chk_fail() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

Merge tag 'objtool-core-2025-03-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

- The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build
on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.

While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such
an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a
risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on
!COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on
allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who
just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'.

While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it
explicitly should see it.

(Josh Poimboeuf)

- Disable branch profiling in noinstr code with a broad brush that
includes all of arch/x86/ and kernel/sched/. (Josh Poimboeuf)

- Create backup object files on objtool errors and print exact objtool
arguments to make failure analysis easier (Josh Poimboeuf)

- Improve noreturn handling (Josh Poimboeuf)

- Improve rodata handling (Tiezhu Yang)

- Support jump tables, switch tables and goto tables on LoongArch
(Tiezhu Yang)

- Misc cleanups and fixes (Josh Poimboeuf, David Engraf, Ingo Molnar)
