* kbuild: doc: describe proper script invocationLukas Bulwahn2020-10-131-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During an investigation to fix up the execute bits of scripts in the kernel repository, Andrew Morton and Kees Cook pointed out that the execute bit should not matter, and that build scripts cannot rely on that. Kees could not point to any documentation, though. Masahiro Yamada explained the convention of setting execute bits to make it easier for manual script invocation. Provide some basic documentation how the build shall invoke scripts, such that the execute bits do not matter, and acknowledge that execute bits are useful nonetheless. This serves as reference for further clean-up patches in the future.

| * Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm versionNick Desaulniers2020-08-311-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on a vote at the LLVM BoF at Plumbers 2020, we decided to start small, supporting just one formal upstream release of LLVM for now. We can probably widen the support window of supported versions over time. Also, note that LLVM's release process is different than GCC's. GCC tends to have 1 major release per year while releasing minor updates to the past 3 major versions. LLVM tends to support one major release and one minor release every six months.

* | Documentation/llvm: Improve formatting of commands, variables, and argumentsNathan Chancellor2020-08-311-13/+13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While reviewing a separate patch, I noticed that the formatting of the commands, variables, and arguments was not in a monospaced font like the rest of the Kbuild documentation (see kbuild/kconfig.rst for an example). This is due to a lack of "::" before indented command blocks and single backticks instead of double backticks for inline formatting. Add those so that the document looks nicer in an HTML format, while not ruining the look in plain text. As a result of this, we can remove the escaped backslashes in the last code block and move them to single backslashes.

| * kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-yMasahiro Yamada2020-08-101-1/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs' to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them because there is no dependency. There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile). The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'. This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand. The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast, programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y' so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles. userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

| * kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-yMasahiro Yamada2020-08-101-0/+14

Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily. Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles. The add/remove order works as follows: [1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally [2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the current Makefile [3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the current Makefile (New feature) [4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file. [5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file. Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all) objects in the current Makefile. For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile. Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories. In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from all the sub-directories. The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories: arch/arm/boot/compressed/ arch/powerpc/xmon/ arch/sh/ kernel/trace/ However, lib/ has several sub-directories. To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles in subdirectories of lib/, except the following: lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions") excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y from the sub-directories of lib/.

| * kbuild: remove cc-option test of -fno-stack-protectorMasahiro Yamada2020-07-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally. For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile. No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector. GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN) Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector. Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'. Note: arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

* kbuild: support LLVM=1 to switch the default tools to Clang/LLVMMasahiro Yamada2020-04-092-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy. Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an environment variable. Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the integrated assembler, I think we can make it default. We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean flag that switches both target and host tools: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494 https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43 Some items discussed, but not adopted: - LLVM_DIR When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful. CC = $(LLVM_DIR)clang LD = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld ... However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do this. - LLVM_SUFFIX Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with naming conventions that use the version as a suffix. CC = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX) LD = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX) ... will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc., but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

Unlike 'select', what is worse, Kconfig never shows the 'WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for ...' for this case. Because 'imply' is considered to be weaker than 'depends on', Kconfig should take the direct dependency into account. For clarification, describe this case in kconfig-language.rst too.

In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbcedf44), which is over a decade ago now. Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next delimiter or end of line will follow.

* kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-yMasahiro Yamada2020-02-041-33/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The difference between "always" and "extra-y" is that the targets listed in $(always) are always built, whereas the ones in $(extra-y) are built only when KBUILD_BUILTIN is set. So, "make modules" does not build the targets in $(extra-y). vmlinux.lds is only needed for linking vmlinux. So, adding it to extra-y is more correct. In fact, arch/x86/kernel/Makefile does this.

* | kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.confMasahiro Yamada2020-01-071-5/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit bc081dd6e9f6 ("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.

* kbuild: clarify the difference between obj-y and obj-m w.r.t. descendingMasahiro Yamada2019-12-221-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kbuild descends into a directory by either 'y' or 'm', but there is an important difference. Kbuild combines the built-in objects into built-in.a in each directory. The built-in.a in the directory visited by obj-y is merged into the built-in.a in the parent directory. This merge happens recursively when Kbuild is ascending back towards the top directory, then built-in objects are linked into vmlinux eventually. This works properly only when the Makefile specifying obj-y is reachable by the chain of obj-y. On the other hand, Kbuild does not take built-in.a from the directory visited by obj-m. This it, all the objects in that directory are supposed to be modular. If Kbuild descends into a directory by obj-m, but the Makefile in the sub-directory specifies obj-y, those objects are just left orphan. The current statement "Kbuild only uses this information to decide that it needs to visit the directory" is misleading. Clarify the difference.

* kbuild: do not read $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Module.symversMasahiro Yamada2019-11-111-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 040fcc819a2e ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules"), the external module build reads Module.symvers in the directory of the module itself, then dumps symbols back into it. It accumulates stale symbols in the file when you build an external module incrementally. The idea behind it was, as the commit log explained, you can copy Modules.symvers from one module to another when you need to pass symbol information between two modules. However, the manual copy of the file sounds questionable to me, and containing stale symbols is a downside. Some time later, commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced a saner approach. So, this commit removes the former one. Going forward, the external module build dumps symbols into Module.symvers to be carried via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, but never reads it automatically. With the -I option removed, there is no one to set the external_module flag unless KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is passed. Now the -i option does it instead.

The archive containing the header files has nondeterminism caused by header files metadata. This patch normalizes the metadata and utilizes KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP if provided and otherwise falls back to the default behaviour. In commit f7b101d33046 ("kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs") it was modified to use sysfs and the script for generation of the archive was renamed to what is being patched.

The number of exported symbols is increasingly growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7) and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface. Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized the feature and its main motivations in the tag below. Summary: - Introduce exported symbol namespaces. This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module authors are now required to import the namespaces they need. Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL().
