Because +there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources +have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the +.note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command +line flag --noexecstack. Or we can simply tell the linker the +production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as +--noexecstack. + +LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't +strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt +to be explicit here for all linkers IMO. --no-warn-rwx-segments is +currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release, +so it's wrapped in an ld-option check. + +While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use +permissions from ELF segments. + +Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/3af4127a-f453-4cf7-f133-a181cce06f73@kernel.dk/ +Link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=ba951afb99912da01a6e8434126b8fac7aa75107 +Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57009 +Reported-and-tested-by: Jens Axboe +Suggested-by: Fangrui Song +Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers +Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds +Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman +--- + Makefile | 5 +++++ + 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) + +--- a/Makefile ++++ b/Makefile +@@ -870,6 +870,11 @@ ifdef CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATI + LDFLAGS_vmlinux += $(call ld-option, --gc-sections,) + endif + ++KBUILD_LDFLAGS += -z noexecstack ++ifeq ($(CONFIG_LD_IS_BFD),y) ++KBUILD_LDFLAGS += $(call ld-option,--no-warn-rwx-segments) ++endif ++ + ifeq ($(CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS),y) + LDFLAGS_vmlinux += $(call ld-option, -X,) + endif diff --git a/queue-4.9/series b/queue-4.9/series index 3fc8e5e3fbc..244980e1e63 100644 --- a/queue-4.9/series +++ b/queue-4.9/series @@ -22,4 +22,5 @@ acpi-video-force-backlight-native-for-some-tongfang-devices.patch acpi-video-shortening-quirk-list-by-identifying-clevo-by-board_name-only.patch random-only-call-boot_init_stack_canary-once.patch macintosh-adb-fix-oob-read-in-do_adb_query-function.patch +makefile-link-with-z-noexecstack-no-warn-rwx-segments.patch x86-link-vdso-and-boot-with-z-noexecstack-no-warn-rwx-segments.patch
