Thumb-2 functions have the lowest bit set in the symbol value in the
symtab. When kallsyms are generated for the vmlinux, the kallsyms are
generated from the output of nm, and nm clears the lowest bit.
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
95947: 8015dc89 686 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 show_interrupts
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm vmlinux | grep show_interrupts
8015dc88 T show_interrupts
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep show_interrupts
8015dc88 T show_interrupts
However, for modules, the kallsyms uses the values in the symbol table
without modification, so for functions in modules, the lowest bit is set
in kallsyms.
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -a drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
333: 00002d4d 36 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 tun_get_socket
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm drivers/net/tun.ko | grep tun_get_socket
00002d4c T tun_get_socket
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
7f802d4d t tun_get_socket [tun]
Because of this, the symbol+offset of the crashing instruction shown in
oopses is incorrect when the crash is in a module. For example, given a
tun_get_socket which starts like this,
00002d4c <tun_get_socket>:
2d4c: 6943 ldr r3, [r0, #20]
2d4e: 4a07 ldr r2, [pc, #28]
2d50: 4293 cmp r3, r2
a crash when tun_get_socket is called with NULL results in:
PC is at tun_xdp+0xa3/0xa4 [tun]
pc : [<7f802d4c>]
As can be seen, the "PC is at" line reports the wrong symbol name, and
the symbol+offset will point to the wrong source line if it is passed to
gdb.
To solve this, add a way for archs to fixup the reading of these module
kallsyms values, and use that to clear the lowest bit for function
symbols on Thumb-2.
After the fix:
# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep tun_get_socket
7f802d4c t tun_get_socket [tun]
PC is at tun_get_socket+0x0/0x24 [tun]
pc : [<7f802d4c>]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
