Commit bc081dd6e9 ("kbuild: generate modules.builtin") added
infrastructure to generate modules.builtin, the list of all
builtin modules.
Basically, it works like this:
- Kconfig generates include/config/tristate.conf, the list of
tristate CONFIG options with a value in a capital letter.
- scripts/Makefile.modbuiltin makes Kbuild descend into
directories to collect the information of builtin modules.
I am not a big fan of it because Kbuild ends up with traversing
the source tree twice.
I am not sure how perfectly it should work, but this approach cannot
avoid false positives; even if the relevant CONFIG option is tristate,
some Makefiles forces obj-m to obj-y.
Some examples are:
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_NVRAM:m=y) += nvram.o
net/ipv6/Makefile:
obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += inet6_hashtables.o
net/netlabel/Makefile:
obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += netlabel_calipso.o
Nobody has complained about (or noticed) it, so it is probably fine to
have false positives in modules.builtin.
This commit simplifies the implementation. Let's exploit the fact
that every module has MODULE_LICENSE(). (modpost shows a warning if
MODULE_LICENSE is missing. If so, 0-day bot would already have blocked
such a module.)
I added MODULE_FILE to <linux/module.h>. When the code is being compiled
as builtin, it will be filled with the file path of the module, and
collected into modules.builtin.info. Then, scripts/link-vmlinux.sh
extracts the list of builtin modules out of it.
This new approach fixes the false-positives above, but adds another
type of false-positives; non-modular code may have MODULE_LICENSE()
by mistake. This is not a big deal, it is just the code is always
orphan. We can clean it up if we like. You can see cleanup examples by:
$ git log --grep='make.* explicitly non-modular'
To sum up, this commits deletes lots of code, but still produces almost
equivalent results. Please note it does not increase the vmlinux size at
all. As you can see in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, the .modinfo
section is discarded in the link stage.

When compiling, Kbuild passes KBUILD_BASENAME (basename of the object)
and KBUILD_MODNAME (basename of the module).
This commit adds another one, KBUILD_MODFILE, which is the path of
the module. (or, the path of the module it would end up in if it were
compiled as a module.)
The next commit will use this to generate modules.builtin without
tristate.conf.

The built-in.a in a sub-directory is created by descending into that
directory. It does not depend on the other sub-directories. Loosen
the dependency.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Both 'obj-y += foo/' and 'obj-m += foo/' request Kbuild to visit the
sub-directory foo/, but the difference is that only the former combines
foo/built-in.a into the built-in.a of the current directory because
everything in sub-directories visited by obj-m is supposed to be modular.
So, it makes sense to create built-in.a only if that sub-directory is
reachable by the chain of obj-y. Otherwise, built-in.a will not be
linked into vmlinux anyway. For the same reason, it is pointless to
compile obj-y objects in the directory visited by obj-m.

Cross compiling the x86 kernel on a non-x86 build machine produces
the following error when CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is enabled, regardless
of whether libelf-dev is installed or not.
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: libelf-dev
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
Since this is a build time dependency for a build tool, we need to
depend on the native version of libelf-dev so add the appropriate
annotation.

I noticed that randconfig builds with gcc no longer produce a lot of
ccache hits, unlike with clang, and traced this back to plugins
now being enabled unconditionally if they are supported.
I am now working around this by adding
export CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=/usr/bin/size -A %compiler%
to my top-level Makefile. This changes the heuristic that ccache uses
to determine whether the plugins are the same after a 'make clean'.
However, it also seems that being able to just turn off the plugins is
generally useful, at least for build testing it adds noticeable overhead
but does not find a lot of bugs additional bugs, and may be easier for
ccache users than my workaround.

Since commit 5e5c4fa787 ("scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before

causes overflow when building the 32-bit kernel.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/7/156
This is because _text is, unless --all-symbols is specified, now
trimmed from the symbol table before record_relative_base() is called.
Handle the offset signedness also for kallsyms_relative_base. Introduce
a new helper, output_address(), to reduce the code duplication.

Commit 858805b336 ("kbuild: add $(BASH) to run scripts with
bash-extension") shed light on portability issues. Here is another one.
Since commit f07726048d ("Fix handling of backlash character in
LINUX_COMPILE_BY name"), we must escape a backslash contained in
LINUX_COMPILE_BY. This is not working on such distros as Ubuntu.
As the POSIX spec [1] says, if any of the operands contain a backslash
( '\' ) character, the results are implementation-defined.
The actual shell of /bin/sh could be bash, dash, etc. depending on
distros, and the behavior of builtin echo command is different among
them.
The bash builtin echo, unless -e is given, copies the arguments to
stdout without expanding escape sequences (BSD-like behavior).
The dash builtin echo, in contrast, adopts System V behavior, which
does expand escape sequences without any option given.
Even non-builtin /bin/echo behaves differently depending on the system.
Due to these variations, echo is considered as a non-portable command.
Using printf is the common solution to avoid the portability issue.

UTS_VERSION is set to struct uts_namespace, hence a too long string
should be truncated so it fits in 64 characters.
On the other hand, LINUX_COMPILE_BY/HOST are not set to uts_namespace.
They are just used in the banners, which do not have specific length
limitation.
I dug into the git history, but I could not find the reason why
these two strings must fit in 64 characters. Remove them.
Now that UTS_VERSION is the only user of UTS_TRUNCATE, I squashed it.

While trying to figure out why fentry_fexit selftest doesn't pass for me
(old pahole, broken BTF), I found out that my latest patch can break vmlinux
.BTF generation. objcopy preserves section start when doing --only-section,
so there is a chance (depending on where pahole inserts .BTF section) to
have leading empty zeroes. Let's explicitly force section offset to zero.
Before:
$ objcopy --set-section-flags .BTF=alloc -O binary \
--only-section=.BTF vmlinux .btf.vmlinux.bin
$ xxd .btf.vmlinux.bin | head -n1
00000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................
After:
$ objcopy --change-section-address .BTF=0 \
--set-section-flags .BTF=alloc -O binary \
--only-section=.BTF vmlinux .btf.vmlinux.bin
$ xxd .btf.vmlinux.bin | head -n1
00000000: 9feb 0100 1800 0000 0000 0000 80e1 1c00 ................
^BTF magic
As part of this change, I'm also dropping '2>/dev/null' from objcopy
invocation to be able to catch possible other issues (objcopy doesn't
produce any warnings for me anymore, it did before with --dump-section).

If vmlinux BTF generation fails, but CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set,
.BTF section of vmlinux is empty and kernel will prohibit
BPF loading and return "in-kernel BTF is malformed".
--dump-section argument to binutils' objcopy was added in version 2.25.
When using pre-2.25 binutils, BTF generation silently fails. Convert
to --only-section which is present on pre-2.25 binutils.
Documentation/process/changes.rst states that binutils 2.21+
is supported, not sure those standards apply to BPF subsystem.

sym_entry::sym is (unsigned char *) instead of (char *) because
kallsyms exploits the MSB for compression, and the characters are
used as the index of token_profit array.
However, it requires casting (unsigned char *) to (char *) in some
places since standard library functions such as strcmp(), strlen()
expect (char *).
Introduce a new helper, sym_name(), which advances the given pointer
by 1 and casts it to (char *).

Since commit 6f00df24ee ("[PATCH] Strip local symbols from kallsyms"),

Currently, record_relative_base() iterates over the entire table to
find the minimum address, but it is not efficient because we sort
the table anyway.
After sort_symbol(), the table is sorted by address. (kallsyms parses
the 'nm -n' output, so the data is already sorted by address, but this
commit does not rely on it.)
Move record_relative_base() after sort_symbols(), and take the first
non-absolute symbol value.

build_initial_tok_table() overwrites unused sym_entry to shrink the
table size. Before the entry is overwritten, table[i].sym must be freed
since it is malloc'ed data.
This fixes the 'definitely lost' report from valgrind. I ran valgrind
against x86_64_defconfig of v5.4-rc8 kernel, and here is the summary:

When 'exported twice' is warned, let sym_add_exported() return without
updating the symbol info. This respects the previous export, which is
ordered first in modules.order
This simplifies the code too.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Now that there is no overwrap between symbols from ELF files and
ones from Module.symvers.
So, the 'exported twice' warning should be reported irrespective
of where the symbol in question came from.
The exceptional case is external module; in some cases, we build
an external module to provide a different version/variant of the
corresponding in-kernel module, overriding the same set of exported
symbols.
You can see this use-case in upstream; tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko
replaces drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko in order to link it against mocked
version of core kernel symbols.
So, let's relax the 'exported twice' warning when building external
modules. The multiple export from external modules is warned only
when the previous one is from vmlinux or itself.
With this refactoring, the ugly preloading goes away.

It is complicated to add mocked-up symbols for pre-handling CRC.
Handle CRC after all the export symbols in the relevant module
are registered.
Call handle_modversion() after the handle_symbol() iteration.
In some cases, I see atand-alone __crc_* without __ksymtab_*.
For example, ARCH=arm allyesconfig produces __crc_ccitt_veneer and
__crc_itu_t_veneer. I guess they come from crc_ccitt, crc_itu_t,
respectively. Since __*_veneer are auto-generated symbols, just
ignore them.
