[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v6 1/5] x86/boot: create a C bundle for 32 bit boot code and use it
The current method to include 32 bit C boot code is:
- compile each function we want to use into a separate object file;
- each function is compiled with -fpic option;
- convert these object files to binary files. This operation removes GOP
which we don't want in the executable;
- a small assembly part in each file add the entry point;
- code can't have external references, all possible variables are passed
by value or pointer;
- include these binary files in head.S.
There are currently some limitations:
- code is compiled separately, it's not possible to share a function
(like memcpy) between different functions to use;
- although code is compiled with -fpic there's no certainty there are
no relocations, specifically data ones. This can lead into hard to
find bugs;
- it's hard to add a simple function;
- having to pass external variables makes hard to do multiple things
otherwise functions would require a lot of parameters so code would
have to be split into multiple functions which is not easy.
Current change extends the current process:
- all object files are linked together before getting converted making
possible to share code between the function we want to call;
- a single object file is generated with all functions to use and
exported symbols to easily call;
- variables to use are declared in linker script and easily used inside
C code. Declaring them manually could be annoying but makes also
easier to check them. Using external pointers can be still an issue if
they are not fixed. If an external symbol is not declared this gives a
link error.
Some details of the implementation:
- C code is compiled with -fpic flags (as before);
- object files from C code are linked together;
- the single bundled object file is linked with 2 slightly different
script files to generate 2 bundled object files;
- the 2 bundled object files are converted to binary removing the need
for global offset tables;
- a Python script is used to generate assembly source from the 2
binaries;
- the single assembly file is compiled to generate final bundled object
file;
- to detect possible unwanted relocation in data/code code is generated
with different addresses. This is enforced starting .text section at
different positions and adding a fixed "gap" at the beginning.
This makes sure code and data is position independent;
- to detect used symbols in data/code symbols are placed in .text
section at different offsets (based on the line in the linker script).
This is needed as potentially a reference to a symbol is converted to
a reference to the containing section so multiple symbols could be
converted to reference to same symbol (section name) and we need to
distinguish them;
- --orphan-handling=error option to linker is used to make sure we
account for all possible sections from C code;
Current limitations:
- the main one is the lack of support for 64 bit code. It would make
sure that even the code used for 64 bit (at the moment EFI code) is
code and data position independent. We cannot assume that code that
came from code compiled for 32 bit and compiled for 64 bit is code and
data position independent, different compiler options lead to
different code/data.

Changes since v2:
- removed W^X limitation, allowing data;
- added some comments to python script;
- added extension to python script;
- added header to generated assembly code from python script;
- added starting symbol to generated assembly code from python script
to make disassembly more clear;
- other minor style changes to python script.
Changes since v4:
- add build32.final.lds build32.other.lds to targets macro;
- place some comments over a rule, not inside;
- simplified linking and producing binary rule;
- renamed built_in_32 to built-in-32, coding style;
- fix minor indentation;
- put magic numbers in Makefile and propagate them;
- minor variable cleanups in Python script;
- add dependency to Python script.
Changes since v5:
- renamed "other" and "final" phases to "base" and "offset";
- use if_changed macro to generate built-in-32.S.
