2023-07-05Revert ".gitignore: ignore *.cover and *.mbx"Linus Torvalds1-2/+0
This reverts commit 534066a983df0935847061c844eb178f8a53a9e7. It's actively detrimental in that it hides files that shouldn't be hidden. If I have some b4 mbx file in my git directory, it either was already applied with "git am" and is now stale, or maybe it's waiting for that to happen. In neither case is "ignore it" the right option. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2023-06-22kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursionMasahiro Yamada1-2/+0
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits: - 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option") - a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding") We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules. Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules, modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB only for symbols with sym->used==true. BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/ Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain reaction of trimming comes into play because: - CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols - CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux, but not modules If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess that is unlikely to happen.

2022-05-07kbuild: split the second line of *.mod into *.usymsMasahiro Yamada1-0/+1
The *.mod files have two lines; the first line lists the member objects of the module, and the second line, if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y, lists the undefined symbols. Currently, we generate *.mod after constructing composite modules, otherwise, we cannot compute the second line. No prerequisite is required to print the first line. They are orthogonal. Splitting them into separate commands will ease further cleanups. This commit splits the list of undefined symbols out to *.usyms files. Previously, the list of undefined symbols ended up with a very long line, but now it has one symbol per line.

2021-04-24kbuild: generate Module.symvers only when vmlinux existsMasahiro Yamada1-0/+1
The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers is missing in the kernel tree. WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing. Modules may not have dependencies or modversions. I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups for external modules by 'make defconfig && make modules_preapre'. A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers already exists in spite of its incomplete content. The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created. This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist. Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.

2020-06-06modpost: generate vmlinux.symvers and reuse it for the second modpostMasahiro Yamada1-0/+1
The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for modules. The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file, presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols. Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object. Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second pass. A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file, vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files. The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same way as before. This makes further modpost cleanups possible. Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols. I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be generated.

2019-11-11modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps fileMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps files. Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information. This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel when the -j option is given. On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread. I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files. This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file, modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format: <module_name>: <list of missing namespaces> Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones. So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good. This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol namespaces feature. 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(). The API is thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst. - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there" * tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux: module: Remove leftover '#undef' from export header module: remove unneeded casts in cmp_name() module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES module: remove redundant 'depends on MODULES' module: Fix link failure due to invalid relocation on namespace offset usb-storage: export symbols in USB_STORAGE namespace usb-storage: remove single-use define for debugging docs: Add documentation for Symbol Namespaces scripts: Coccinelle script for namespace dependencies. modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies export: allow definition default namespaces in Makefiles or sources module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS modpost: add support for symbol namespaces module: add support for symbol namespaces. export: explicitly align struct kernel_symbol module: support reading multiple values per modinfo tag
2019-09-10modpost: add support for generating namespace dependenciesMatthias Maennich1-0/+1
This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module. E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc. These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a corresponding make target to automatically add missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

2019-07-17kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIRMasahiro Yamada1-0/+1
While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules, but do not link final *.ko files; it is done in the modpost. To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR) for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so. Later, commit 551559e13af1 ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of *.mod files. $(MODVERDIR) has a flat directory structure, that is, *.mod files are named only with base names. This is based on the assumption that the module name is unique across the tree. This assumption is really fragile. Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name conflict: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991 In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously. Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence commit 3a48a91901c5 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names") introduced a new checker script. However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages. To fix this issue completely, create *.mod with full directory path so that two threads never attempt to write to the same file. $(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed. Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending. I also killed cmd_secanalysis; scripts/mod/sumversion.c computes MD4 hash for modules with MODULE_VERSION(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y, it occurs not only in the modpost stage, but also during directory descending, where sumversion.c may parse stale *.mod files. It would emit 'No such file or directory' warning when an object consisting a module is renamed, or when a single-obj module is turned into a multi-obj module or vice versa.

2019-05-07moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate fileAlexey Gladkov1-0/+1
Problem: When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the kernel, that information is not available. Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases: 1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be passed to the kernel at boot time. 2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image. Proposal: The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate modules, we are not creating a new API. It can be easily read in the userspace: $ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo ext4.softdep=pre: crc32c ext4.license=GPL ext4.description=Fourth Extended Filesystem ext4.author=Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others ext4.alias=fs-ext4 ext4.alias=ext3 ext4.alias=fs-ext3 ext4.alias=ext2 ext4.alias=fs-ext2 md_mod.alias=block-major-9-* md_mod.alias=md md_mod.description=MD RAID framework md_mod.license=GPL md_mod.parmtype=create_on_open:bool md_mod.parmtype=start_dirty_degraded:int ...

2018-12-13kbuild: Add support for DT binding schema checksRob Herring1-0/+1
This adds the build infrastructure for checking DT binding schema documents and validating dts files using the binding schema. Check DT binding schema documents: make dt_binding_check Build dts files and check using DT binding schema: make dtbs_check Optionally, DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be passed in with a schema file(s) to use for validation. This makes it easier to find and fix errors generated by a specific schema. Currently, the validation targets are separate from a normal build to avoid a hard dependency on the external DT schema project and because there are lots of warnings generated.

2018-04-11clang-format: add configuration fileMiguel Ojeda1-0/+1
clang-format is a tool to format C/C++/... code according to a set of rules and heuristics. Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful. In particular, it is useful for quickly re-formatting blocks of code automatically, for reviewing full files in order to spot coding style mistakes, typos and possible improvements. It is also handy for sorting ``#includes``, for aligning variables and macros, for reflowing text and other similar tasks. It also serves as a teaching tool/guide for newcomers. The tool itself has been already included in the repositories of popular Linux distributions for a long time. The rules in this file are intended for clang-format >= 4, which is easily available in most distributions. This commit adds the configuration file that contains the rules that the tool uses to know how to format the code according to the kernel coding style. This gives us several advantages: * clang-format works out of the box with reasonable defaults; avoiding that everyone has to re-do the configuration. * Everyone agrees (eventually) on what is the most useful default configuration for most of the kernel. * If it becomes commonplace among kernel developers, clang-format may feel compelled to support us better. They already recognize the Linux kernel and its style in their documentation and in one of the style sub-options. Some of clang-format's features relevant for the kernel are: * Uses clang's tooling support behind the scenes to parse and rewrite the code. It is not based on ad-hoc regexps. * Supports reasonably well the Linux kernel coding style. * Fast enough to be used at the press of a key. * There are already integrations (either built-in or third-party) for many common editors used by kernel developers (e.g. vim, emacs, Sublime, Atom...) that allow you to format an entire file or, more usefully, just your selection. * Able to parse unified diffs -- you can, for instance, reformat only the lines changed by a git commit. * Able to reflow text comments as well. * Widely supported and used by hundreds of developers in highly complex projects and organizations (e.g. the LLVM project itself, Chromium, WebKit, Google, Mozilla...). Therefore, it will be supported for a long time.

2017-12-12scripts/package: snap-pkg targetPaolo Pisati1-0/+5
Following in footsteps of other targets like 'deb-pkg, 'rpm-pkg' and 'tar-pkg', this patch adds a 'snap-pkg' target for the creation of a Linux kernel snap package using the kbuild infrastructure. A snap, in its general form, is a self contained, sandboxed, universal package and it is intended to work across multiple distributions and/or devices. A snap package is distributed as a single compressed squashfs filesystem. A kernel snap is a snap package carrying the Linux kernel, kernel modules, accessory files (DTBs, System.map, etc) and a manifesto file. The purpose of a kernel snap is to carry the Linux kernel during the creation of a system image, eg. Ubuntu Core, and its subsequent upgrades.
