From b18b851ba85a5855cb53865fcff3cd2c17b44b0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2021 14:03:07 -0700 Subject: scripts/recordmcount.pl: Remove check_objcopy() and $can_use_local When building ARCH=riscv allmodconfig with llvm-objcopy, the objcopy version warning from this script appears: WARNING: could not find objcopy version or version is less than 2.17. Local function references are disabled. The check_objcopy() function in scripts/recordmcount.pl is set up to parse GNU objcopy's version string, not llvm-objcopy's, which triggers the warning. Commit 799c43415442 ("kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs") made binutils 2.20 mandatory and commit ba64beb17493 ("kbuild: check the minimum assembler version in Kconfig") enforces this at configuration time so just remove check_objcopy() and $can_use_local instead, assuming --globalize-symbol is always available. llvm-objcopy has supported --globalize-symbol since LLVM 7.0.0 in 2018 and the minimum version for building the kernel with LLVM is 10.0.1 so there is no issue introduced: Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5be798dae30d5f9414b01f76ff807edbc881aa Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210802210307.3202472-1-nathan@kernel.org Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) --- scripts/recordmcount.pl | 40 ---------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 40 deletions(-) (limited to 'scripts') diff --git a/scripts/recordmcount.pl b/scripts/recordmcount.pl index c17e48020ec3..8f6b13ae46bf 100755 --- a/scripts/recordmcount.pl +++ b/scripts/recordmcount.pl @@ -173,39 +173,6 @@ my $mcount_regex; # Find the call site to mcount (return offset) my $mcount_adjust; # Address adjustment to mcount offset my $alignment; # The .align value to use for $mcount_section my $section_type; # Section header plus possible alignment command -my $can_use_local = 0; # If we can use local function references - -# Shut up recordmcount if user has older objcopy -my $quiet_recordmcount = ".tmp_quiet_recordmcount"; -my $print_warning = 1; -$print_warning = 0 if ( -f $quiet_recordmcount); - -## -# check_objcopy - whether objcopy supports --globalize-symbols -# -# --globalize-symbols came out in 2.17, we must test the version -# of objcopy, and if it is less than 2.17, then we can not -# record local functions. -sub check_objcopy -{ - open (IN, "$objcopy --version |") or die "error running $objcopy"; - while () { - if (/objcopy.*\s(\d+)\.(\d+)/) { - $can_use_local = 1 if ($1 > 2 || ($1 == 2 && $2 >= 17)); - last; - } - } - close (IN); - - if (!$can_use_local && $print_warning) { - print STDERR "WARNING: could not find objcopy version or version " . - "is less than 2.17.\n" . - "\tLocal function references are disabled.\n"; - open (QUIET, ">$quiet_recordmcount"); - printf QUIET "Disables the warning from recordmcount.pl\n"; - close QUIET; - } -} if ($arch =~ /(x86(_64)?)|(i386)/) { if ($bits == 64) { @@ -434,8 +401,6 @@ if ($filename =~ m,^(.*)(\.\S),) { my $mcount_s = $dirname .
