Add `-Zfunction-return={keep,thunk-extern}` option #116892

ojeda · 2023-10-18T15:10:49Z

This is intended to be used for Linux kernel RETHUNK builds.

With this commit (optionally backported to Rust 1.73.0), plus a patched Linux kernel to pass the flag, I get a RETHUNK build with Rust enabled that is objtool-warning-free and is able to boot in QEMU and load a sample Rust kernel module.

Issue: #116853.

Note that LLVM ignores the attribute in non-x86, but I have not replicated Clang's check that this only works in x86 for the CLI flag for the moment (should it be part of the target spec?).

Also, I linked the feature request issue as the tracking one in the docs -- we can reuse it changing the OP message, I assume, but please let me know if it is best to create a new one.

+            // FIXME: In principle, the inherited base LLVM target code model could be large,
+            // but this only checks whether we were passed one explicitly (like Clang does).


If there is a way to get the effective code model, it would be nice to use it.

Maybe check sess.target.options.code_model ?

That covers even less, no? i.e. code_model() covers codegen and target options.

I added a folder but that still counts against the tidy limit in tests/ui. Should I move the folder to e.g. tests/ui/invalid-compile-flags or increase the limit by 1?

ojeda · 2023-10-20T11:51:01Z

One more note: GCC and Clang give an error if one tries to use function-return at all, i.e. even with keep, on non-x86. However, in this PR keep is allowed for all architectures.

I did it like this because it seemed simpler (no Option) and more flexible, especially since (in the case of this flag) other architectures could support particular modes, e.g. s390 expolines (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/49af6502c6dcb4a7f7520178bd14df396f78240c/clang/lib/Frontend/CompilerInvocation.cpp#L1942).

But perhaps consistency with GCC/Clang is better?

I moved them inside the other folder, and noticed one in invalid/ should be in that invalid-compile-flags/ folder: #116975.

The Rust compiler does not support the equivalent of `-mfunction-return=thunk-extern` yet [1]. Thus, currently, `objtool` warns about it, e.g.: samples/rust/rust_print.o: warning: objtool: _R...init+0xa5c: 'naked' return found in RETHUNK build The support in `rustc` for `-Zfunction-return` has been submitted and is being reviewed [2]. It adds the needed LLVM function attributes and, with it, I got a RETHUNK kernel build with Rust enabled that does not print the `objtool` related warnings, boots in QEMU and can load a kernel loadable module. In any case, until proper/complete support is added to `rustc`, make it a hard restriction until the mitigation is in place. This may have an impact for developers that may not need/care about the mitigation in the Rust side (e.g. Ubuntu offers Rust as a "technology preview" [3]), but given we are getting closer to having the first actual in-tree Rust kernel users, it seems like the right time to disallow it. This should also avoid confusion [4].
