ARM64/ARM32 difference branch - arm

If in ARM32 branch have these opcode: EAFF FFFE, then what would this opcode be in ARM64?
Example:
ARM32:
0000: b $+0
ARM64:
0000: b $+0

The solution from DEFCON: 0x00000014

What's the meaning of 2.2.5 in memcpy#GLIBC_2.2.5? [duplicate]

Currently I'm in a directory which has a file libshared-object.so (name changed for generality).
When I run
$ objdump -p libshared-object.so
I receive the following output:
libshared-object.so: file format elf64-x86-64

Question: Where do these version references come from? Take, for example, the line required from libQt5Gui.so.5: .. Qt_5 and Qt_5_PRIVATE_API.
Are references to version Qt_5 and Qt_5_PRIVATE_API coming from the C code that generated libQt5Gui.so.5? Or from some linker option passed to to gcc or ld? Or from something else?
Or from something else?
From something else.
When you build a shared library (say libfoo.so), you can (though don't have to) supply a linker version script giving certain symbols a version tag.
When you later link an executable or a shared library (say libbar.so) against libfoo.so, iff you use a versioned symbol, the version tag of that symbol is recorded in libbar.so (that is what you observed in your question).
This setup allows libfoo.so to change its symbols in ABI-incompatible way, and still support old client programs that were linked against the old symbols.
For example, libc.so.6 on x86_64 has the following versions of memcpy:
0000000000091620 g iD .text 000000000000003d GLIBC_2.14 memcpy
000000000008c420 g iD .text 0000000000000047 (GLIBC_2.2.5) memcpy
Programs that were linked against glibc-2.13 or older will use the GLIBC_2.2.5 version, programs that were linked against glibc-2.14 or newer will use the GLIBC_2.14 version.
If you try to run a program linked against glibc-2.14 on a system with glibc-2.13, you will get an error (missing symbol version), similar to this.
Before the introduction of symbol versioning, changing the ABI of an existing symbol required that you ship an entirely separate library. This is called external library versioning. You can read more about it here.

LLVM (arm-none-eabi target) is producing an ARM.exidx section for C based code(?)

Compiling a simple HelloWorld.c using Clang/LLVM (arm-none-eabi target) produces a relocation section '.rel.ARM.exidx' but using arm-gcc does not. These LLVM produced unwind table entries are correctly tagged as canunwind. But why are they even produced at all as they are not needed and just cause bloat as you get an entry for every C function in your AXF?
readelf edxidx from HelloWorld.o
Relocation section '.rel.ARM.exidx' at offset 0x580 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000000 00000b2a R_ARM_PREL31 00000000 .text
00000008 00000b2a R_ARM_PREL31 00000000 .text
Unwind table index '.ARM.exidx' at offset 0xcc contains 2 entries:
0x0 <print_uart0>: 0x1 [cantunwind]
0x54 <c_entry>: 0x1 [cantunwind]
In testing Clang defaults: If I pass "-funwind-tables" to Clang to force unwinding for even C functions, I get what I would expect had I been writing .cpp functions and "-fno-unwind-tables" results in the same as above.
Relocation section '.rel.ARM.exidx' at offset 0x5a4 contains 4 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000000 00000b2a R_ARM_PREL31 00000000 .text
00000000 00001600 R_ARM_NONE 00000000 __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
00000008 00000b2a R_ARM_PREL31 00000000 .text
00000008 00001600 R_ARM_NONE 00000000 __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
Unwind table index '.ARM.exidx' at offset 0xcc contains 2 entries:
0x0 <print_uart0>: 0x8001b0b0
Compact model index: 0
0x01 vsp = vsp + 8
0xb0 finish
0xb0 finish
0x54 <c_entry>: 0x809b8480
Compact model index: 0
0x9b vsp = r11
0x84 0x80 pop {r11, r14}
1) Is there anyway to turn off the .ARM.exidx section when only using C functions as they will always be flagged as "cantunwind".
2) Anyway to strip this section during linking? (gc-section will not workof course since these table entries reference in-use functions)
3) Why does arm-gcc not create this section (well, it does if you are using new lib, nano, etc... but I use and link no std libs)
I'll answer (2), since that's what I did. Add to your linker script:
/DISCARD/ :
{
*(.ARM.exidx)
}

unwind_frame cause a kernel paging error

Background
Found a strange kernel Oops, Googled a lot, found nothing.
Background:
The kernel version is 3.0.8
There are two process let's say p1, p2
p2 have lots of threads(about 30)
p1 continuously calls system(pidof("name of p1"))
The kernel may Oops after running for a few days. the primary reason I found is that unwind_frame got a strange frame->fp(0xFFFFFFFF) from get_wchan
When executing this line
frame->fp = *(unsigned long *)(fp - 12);
The CPU will try to access 0xFFFFFFF3, and cause a paging error.
My question is:
How on earth the fp register saved before context switch becomes 0xFFFFFFFF ?

objdump won't show my ELF sections

I have a tool emitting an ELF, which as far as I can tell is compliant to the spec. Readelf output looks fine, but objdump refuses to disassemble anything.
I have simplified the input to a single global var, and "int main(void) { return 0;}" to aid debugging - the tiny section sizes are correct.
In particular, objdump seems unable to find the sections table:
$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-readelf -S davidm.elf
There are 4 section headers, starting at offset 0x74:
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0

[ 3] .shstrtab NULL 00000000 000114 000017 00 0 0 0
$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objdump -h davidm.elf
davidm.elf: file format elf32-littlearm
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
I also have another ELF, built from the exact same objects, only produced with regular toolchain use:
$ objdump -h kernel.elf
kernel.elf: file format elf32-littlearm
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .text 0000001c ff000000 ff000000 00008000 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
1 .data 00000004 ff00001c ff00001c 0000801c 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
Even after I stripped .comment and .ARM.attributes sections (incase objdump requires them) from the 'known good' kernel.elf, it still happily lists the sections there, but not in my tool's davidm.elf.
I have confirmed the contents of the sections are identical between the two with readelf -x.
The only thing I can image is that the ELF file layout is different and breaks some expectations of BFD, which could explain why readelf (and my tool) processes it just fine but objdump has troubles.

No version information found in this file.
Could the aggressive packing of the on-disk layout be causing troubles? Am I in violation of some bytestream alignment restrictions BFD expects, documented or otherwise?
Lastly - this file is not intended to be mmap'd into an address space, a loader will memcpy segment data into the desired location, so there is no requirement to play mmap-friendly file-alignment tricks. Keeping the ELF small is more important.
Cheers,

EDIT: I was asked to upload the file, and/or provide 'objdump -x'. So I've done both:

OK - finally figured it out.
After building and annotating/debugging libbfd (function elf_object_p()) in the context of a little test app, I found why it was not matching on any of BFD supported targets.
I had bad sh_type flags for the section headers: NULL. Emitting STRTAB or PROGBITS (and eventually NOBITS when I get that far) as appropriate and objdump happily walks my image.
Not really surprising, in retrospect - I'm more annoyed I didn't catch this in comparing readelf outputs than anything else :(
Thanks for the help all :)

GCC/objdump: Generating compilable/buildable assembly (interspersed with C/C++) source?

This is close to Using GCC to produce readable assembly?, but my context here is avr-gcc (and correspondingly, avr-objdump) for Atmel (though, I guess it would apply across the GCC board).
The thing is, I have a project of multiple .c and .cpp files; which ultimately get compiled into an executable, with the same name as the 'master' .cpp file. In this process, I can obtain assembly listing in two ways:
I can instruct gcc to emit assembly listing source (see Linux Assembly and Disassembly an Introduction) using the -S switch; in this case, I get a file, with contents like:
...
loop:
push r14
push r15
push r16
push r17
push r28
push r29
/* prologue: function /
/ frame size = 0 */
ldi r24,lo8(13)
ldi r22,lo8(1)
call digitalWrite
rjmp .L2
.L3:
ldi r24,lo8(MyObj)
ldi r25,hi8(MyObj)
call _ZN16MYOBJ7connectEv
.L2:
ldi r24,lo8(MyObj)
ldi r25,hi8(MyObj)
call _ZN16MYOBJ11isConnectedEv
...
(Haven't tried it yet; but I guess this code is compilable/buildable....)
I can inspect the final executable with, and instruct, objdump to emit assembly listing source using the -S switch; in this case, I get a file, with contents like:
...
0000066a <init>:
void init()
{
// this needs to be called before setup() or some functions won't

(I did try to build this code, and it did fail - it reads the 'line numbers' as labels)
Obviously, both listings (for the loop function, at least) represent the same assembly code; except:
The gcc one (should) compile -- the objdump one does not
The objdump one contains listings of all referred functions, which could be defined in files other than the 'master' (e.g., digitalWrite) -- the gcc one does not
The objdump one contains original C/C++ source lines 'interspersed' with assembly (but only occasionally, and seemingly only for C files?) -- the gcc one does not
So, is there a way to obtain an assembly listing that would be 'compilable', however with all in-linked functions, and where source C/C++ code is (possibly, where appropriate) interspersed as comments (so they don't interfere with compilation of assembly file)? (short of writing a parser for the output of objdump, that is :))
Add the option -fverbose-asm to your gcc command line up there. (This is in the gcc manual, but it's documented under 'Code Gen Options')
The "dependencies" that you talk about often come from libraries or separate object files, so they don't have a source - they're just linked as binary code into the final executable. Since such code is not passed through the assembler, you will have to extract it using other ways - e.g. using objdump.
Maybe you should tell us what you really want to achieve because I don't see much point in such an exercise by itself.
The best I have been able to get is to use -Wa,-ahl=outfile.s instead of -S. It isn't compilable code though, but a listing file for diagnostic purposes; the compiled object file is emitted as usual.
