CC_FLAGS_LTO gets initialized only via +=, never with := or =.
When building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, Kbuild may perform
several kernel rebuilds to satisfy symbol dependencies. In this
case, value of CC_FLAGS_LTO is concatenated each time, which
triggers a full rebuild.
Initialize it with := to fix this.

This change limits function inlining across translation unit boundaries
in order to reduce the binary size with LTO. The -import-instr-limit
flag defines a size limit, as the number of LLVM IR instructions, for
importing functions from other TUs, defaulting to 100.
Based on testing with arm64 defconfig, we found that a limit of 5 is a
reasonable compromise between performance and binary size, reducing the
size of a stripped vmlinux by 11%.

With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, version information is linked into each
compilation unit that exports symbols. With LTO, we cannot use this
method as all C code is compiled into LLVM bitcode instead. This
change collects symbol versions into .symversions files and merges
them in link-vmlinux.sh where they are all linked into vmlinux.o at
the same time.

This change adds build system support for Clang's Link Time
Optimization (LTO). With -flto, instead of ELF object files, Clang
produces LLVM bitcode, which is compiled into native code at link
time, allowing the final binary to be optimized globally. For more
details, see:
https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html
The Kconfig option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is implemented as a choice,
which defaults to LTO being disabled. To use LTO, the architecture
must select ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG and support:
- compiling with Clang,
- compiling all assembly code with Clang's integrated assembler,
- and linking with LLD.
While using CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL results in the best runtime
performance, the compilation is not scalable in time or
memory. CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN enables ThinLTO, which allows
parallel optimization and faster incremental builds. ThinLTO is
used by default if the architecture also selects
ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG_THIN:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThinLTO.html
To enable LTO, LLVM tools must be used to handle bitcode files, by
passing LLVM=1 and LLVM_IAS=1 options to make:
$ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
$ scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
$ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
To prepare for LTO support with other compilers, common parts are
gated behind the CONFIG_LTO option, and LTO can be disabled for
specific files by filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO.

Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1
kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map for .S sources
Makefile.extrawarn: move -Wcast-align to W=3
Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).
To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.
To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

Some old GCC versions between 4.5.0 and 4.9.1 might miscompile code
with -fvar-tracking-assingments (which is enabled by default with -g -O2).
Commit 2062afb4f8 ("Fix gcc-4.9.0 miscompilation of load_balance()
in scheduler") added -fno-var-tracking-assignments unconditionally to
work around this. But newer versions of GCC no longer have this bug, so
only add it for versions of GCC before 5.0. This allows various tools
such as a perf probe or gdb debuggers or systemtap to resolve variable
locations using dwarf locations in more code.

namespace.pl is intended to help locate symbols which are defined but
are not used externally. The goal is to avoid bloat of the namespace in
the resulting kernel image.
The script relies on object data, and only finds unused symbols for the
configuration used to generate that object data. This results in a lot
of false positive warnings such as symbols only used by a single
architecture, or symbols which are used externally only under certain
configurations.
Running namespace.pl using allyesconfig, allmodconfig, and
x86_64_defconfig yields the following results:
* allmodconfig
* 11122 unique symbol names with no external reference
* 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined
* 214 symbols it can't resolve
* allyesconfig
* 10997 unique symbol names with no external reference
* 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined
* 214 symbols it can't resolve
* x86_64_defconfig
* 5757 unique symbol names with no external reference
* 528 symbols listed as multiply defined
* 154 symbols it can't resolve
The script also has no way to easily limit the scope of the checks to
a given subset of the kernel, such as only checking for symbols defined
within a module or subsystem.
Discussion on public mailing lists seems to indicate that many view the
tool output as suspect or not very useful (see discussions at [1] and
[2] for further context).
As described by Masahiro Yamada at [2], namespace.pl provides 3 types of
checks: listing multiply defined symbols, resolving external symbols,
and warnings about symbols with no reference.
The first category of issues is easily caught by the linker as any set
of multiply defined symbols should fail to link. The second category of
issues is also caught by linking, as undefined symbols would cause
issues. Even with modules, these types of issues where a module relies
on an external symbol are caught by modpost.
The remaining category of issues reported is the list of symbols with no
external reference, and is the primary motivation of this script.
However, it ought to be clear from the above examples that the output is
difficult to sort through. Even allyesconfig has ~10000 entries.
The current submit-checklist indicates that patches ought to go through
namespacecheck and fix any new issues arising. But that itself presents
problems. As described at [1], many cases of reports are due to
configuration where a function is used externally by some configuration
settings. Prominent maintainers appear to dislike changes modify code
such that symbols become static based on CONFIG_* flags ([3], and [4])
One possible solution is to adjust the advice and indicate that we only
care about the output of namespacecheck on allyesconfig or allmodconfig
builds...
However, given the discussion at [2], I suspect that few people are
actively using this tool. It doesn't have a maintainer in the
MAINTAINERS flie, and it produces so many warnings for unused symbols
that it is difficult to use effectively. Thus, I propose we simply
remove it.

Move CFLAGS_KASAN*, CFLAGS_UBSAN, CFLAGS_KCSAN to Makefile.kasan,
Makefile.ubsan, Makefile.kcsan, respectively.
This commit also avoids the same -fsanitize=* flags being added to
CFLAGS_UBSAN multiple times.
Prior to this commit, the ubsan flags were appended by the '+='
operator, without any initialization. Some build targets such as
'make bindeb-pkg' recurses to the top Makefile, and ended up with
adding the same flags to CFLAGS_UBSAN twice.
Clear CFLAGS_UBSAN with ':=' to make it a simply expanded variable.
This is better than a recursively expanded variable, which evaluates
$(call cc-option, ...) multiple times before Kbuild starts descending

There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)
The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.
You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.
scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.
You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.

Currently all the resolve_btfids 'users' are under CONFIG_BPF
code, so if we have CONFIG_BPF disabled, resolve_btfids will
fail, because there's no data to resolve.
Disabling resolve_btfids if there's CONFIG_BPF disabled,

Merge tag 'livepatching-for-5.9-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching
Pull livepatching fix from Petr Mladek:
"Workaround for 'unreachable instruction' objtool warnings that happen
with some compiler versions"
* tag 'livepatching-for-5.9-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching:
Revert "kbuild: use -flive-patching when CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled"
Use of the new -flive-patching flag was introduced with the following
commit:
43bd3a95c9 ("kbuild: use -flive-patching when CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled")
This flag has several drawbacks:
- It disables some optimizations, so it can have a negative effect on
performance.
- According to the GCC documentation it's not compatible with LTO, which
will become a compatibility issue as LTO support gets upstreamed in
the kernel.
- It was intended to be used for source-based patch generation tooling,
as opposed to binary-based patch generation tooling (e.g.,
kpatch-build). It probably should have at least been behind a
separate config option so as not to negatively affect other livepatch
users.
- Clang doesn't have the flag, so as far as I can tell, this method of
generating patches is incompatible with Clang, which like LTO is
becoming more mainstream.
- It breaks GCC's implicit noreturn detection for local functions. This
is the cause of several "unreachable instruction" objtool warnings.
- The broken noreturn detection is an obvious GCC regression, but we
haven't yet gotten GCC developers to acknowledge that, which doesn't
inspire confidence in their willingness to keep the feature working as
optimizations are added or changed going forward.
- While there *is* a distro which relies on this flag for their distro
livepatch module builds, there's not a publicly documented way to
create safe livepatch modules with it. Its use seems to be based on
tribal knowledge. It serves no benefit to those who don't know how to
use it.
(In fact, I believe the current livepatch documentation and samples
are misleading and dangerous, and should be corrected. Or at least
amended with a disclaimer. But I don't feel qualified to make such
changes.)
Also, we have an idea for using objtool to detect function changes,
which could potentially obsolete the need for this flag anyway.
At this point the flag has no benefits for upstream which would
counteract the above drawbacks. Revert it until it becomes more ready.
This reverts commit 43bd3a95c9.

This patch adds clang-tidy and the clang static-analyzer as make
targets. The goal of this patch is to make static analysis tools
usable and extendable by any developer or researcher who is familiar
with basic c++.
The current static analysis tools require intimate knowledge of the
internal workings of the static analysis. Clang-tidy and the clang
static analyzers expose an easy to use api and allow users unfamiliar
with clang to write new checks with relative ease.
===Clang-tidy===
Clang-tidy is an easily extendable 'linter' that runs on the AST.
Clang-tidy checks are easy to write and understand. A check consists of
two parts, a matcher and a checker. The matcher is created using a
domain specific language that acts on the AST
(https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LibASTMatchersReference.html). When AST
nodes are found by the matcher a callback is made to the checker. The
checker can then execute additional checks and issue warnings.
Here is an example clang-tidy check to report functions that have calls
to local_irq_disable without calls to local_irq_enable and vice-versa.
Functions flagged with __attribute((annotation("ignore_irq_balancing")))
are ignored for analysis. (https://reviews.llvm.org/D65828)
===Clang static analyzer===
The clang static analyzer is a more powerful static analysis tool that
uses symbolic execution to find bugs. Currently there is a check that
looks for potential security bugs from invalid uses of kmalloc and
kfree. There are several more general purpose checks that are useful for
the kernel.
The clang static analyzer is well documented and designed to be
extensible.
(https://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/checker_dev_manual.html)
(https://github.com/haoNoQ/clang-analyzer-guide/releases/download/v0.1/clang-analyzer-guide-v0.1.pdf)
The main draw of the clang tools is how accessible they are. The clang
documentation is very nice and these tools are built specifically to be
easily extendable by any developer. They provide an accessible method of
bug-finding and research to people who are not overly familiar with the
kernel codebase.

Currently, you need to manually run scripts/gen_compile_commands.py
to create compile_commands.json. It parses all the .*.cmd files found
under the specified directory.
If you rebuild the kernel over again without 'make clean',
.*.cmd files from older builds will create stale entries in
compile_commands.json.
This commit wires up the compile_commands.json rule to Makefile, and
makes it parse only the .*.cmd files involved in the current build.
Pass $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS), $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS), and modules.order
to the script. The objects or archives linked to vmlinux are listed in
$(KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS) or $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS). All the modules are
listed in modules.order.
You can create compile_commands.json from Make:
$ make -j$(nproc) CC=clang compile_commands.json
You can also build vmlinux, modules, and compile_commands.json all
together in a single command:
$ make -j$(nproc) CC=clang all compile_commands.json
It works for M= builds as well. In this case, compile_commands.json
is created in the top directory of the external module.
This is convenient, but it has a drawback; the coverage of the
compile_commands.json is reduced because only the objects linked to
vmlinux or modules are handled. For example, the following C files are
not included in the compile_commands.json:
- Decompressor source files (arch/*/boot/)
- VDSO source files
- C files used to generate intermediates (e.g. kernel/bounds.c)
- Standalone host programs
I think it is fine for most developers because our main interest is
the kernel-space code.
If you want to cover all the compiled C files, please build the kernel,
then run the script manually as you did before:
$ make clean # if you want to remove stale .cmd files [optional]
$ make -j$(nproc) CC=clang
$ scripts/gen_compile_commands.py
Here is a note for out-of-tree builds. 'make compile_commands.json'
works with O= option, but please notice compile_commands.json is
created in the object tree instead of the source tree.
Some people may want to have compile_commands.json in the source tree
because Clang Tools searches for it through all parent paths of the
first input source file.
However, you cannot do this for O= builds. Kbuild should never generate
any build artifact in the source tree when O= is given because the
source tree might be read-only. Any write attempt to the source tree
is monitored and the violation may be reported. See the commit log of
8ef14c2c41.
So, the only possible way is to create compile_commands.json in the
object tree, then specify '-p <build-path>' when you use clang-check,
clang-tidy, etc.
