If the find_fromsym() call fails and returns NULL, the warn() call
will dereference this NULL pointer and cause the program to crash.
This happened when I tried to build with "test_user_copy" module.
With this fix, it prints lots of warnings like this:

As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and
'.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation
fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler().
find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL

commit 397586506c3da005b9333ce5947ad01e8018a3be upstream.
After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a
segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ec ("modpost:
unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a
warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown)
WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references
section ".ltext" which is not in the list of
authorized sections. If you're adding a new section
and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the
list of authorized sections to jump to on fault.
This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to
OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c.
The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and
'.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large',
which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text'
and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

The section mismatch check prints a bogus symbol name on some

[test code]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
If you compile it with GCC for riscv or loongarch, modpost will show an

To get the correct symbol address, the st_value must be added.
This issue has never been noticed since commit 93684d3b80 ("kbuild:

st_value becomes zero on most architectures when the referenced symbol
is looked up. It is not true for riscv or loongarch, at least.

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely
are not available when the code is built-in.
There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64

The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented
since commit 0db2524523 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference

Note that .llvm.call-graph-profile intentionally uses REL relocations
to decrease the object size, for more details see

The section contains edge information derived from text sections,
so .llvm.call-graph-profile itself doesn't need more analysis as

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:
- 5cf0fd591f ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
- a555bdd0c5 ("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 f73edc8951 ("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.

The default namespace is the null string, "".
When set, the null string "" is converted to NULL:
s->namespace = namespace[0] ? NOFAIL(strdup(namespace)) : NULL;
When printed, the NULL pointer is get back to the null string:
sym->namespace ?: ""
This saves 1 byte memory allocated for "", but loses the readability.
In kernel-space, we strive to save memory, but modpost is a userspace
tool used to build the kernel. On modern systems, such small piece of
memory is not a big deal.
Handle the namespace string as is.

Commit 31cb50b559 ("kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script
instead of modpost") moved the static EXPORT_SYMBOL* check from the
mostpost to a shell script because I thought it must be checked per
compilation unit to avoid false negatives.
I came up with an idea to do this in modpost, against combined ELF
files. The relocation entries in ELF will find the correct exported
symbol even if there exist symbols with the same name in different
compilation units.
Again, the same sample code.
Makefile:
obj-y += foo1.o foo2.o
foo1.c:
#include <linux/export.h>
static void foo(void) {}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
foo2.c:
void foo(void) {}

Commit 7b4537199a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way
whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S.
For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the
entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL().
The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages.
When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into
a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section.
For example,
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);
will be encoded into the following assembly code:
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_foo:
.asciz "" /* license */
.asciz "" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad foo /* symbol reference */
.previous
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_bar:
.asciz "GPL" /* license */
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad bar /* symbol reference */
.previous
They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script.
Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.export_symbol section, and generates the final C code:
KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", "");
KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE");
KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct
kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module.
With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S
files, providing the following benefits.
[1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export
a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file.
arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner.
Commit 22823ab419 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation.
Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition
in *.S files. It was a nice improvement.
However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
for data objects on some architectures.
In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not),
and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly.
There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL:
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S)
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S)
They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c
KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", "");
KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", "");
The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as
KSYMTAB_FUNC().
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated.
[2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h>
There are two similar header implementations:
include/linux/export.h for .c files
include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files
Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they
tend to diverge.
Commit 8651ec01da ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did
not support the namespace for *.S files.
This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files.
<asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of
<linux/export.h> for a while.
They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all
replaced with #include <linux/export.h>.
[3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit)
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.
We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries
that are really used by modules.

Commits ffb1b4a410 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.
It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.
This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

One more thing to note for Thumb instructions - the st_value is an odd
value, so you need to mask the bit 0 to get the offset. Otherwise, you
will get an off-by-one error in the nearest symbol look-up.
It is documented in "ELF for the ARM Architecture" [1]:
In addition to the normal rules for symbol values the following rules
shall also apply to symbols of type STT_FUNC:
* If the symbol addresses an Arm instruction, its value is the
address of the instruction (in a relocatable object, the offset
of the instruction from the start of the section containing it).
* If the symbol addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the
address of the instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable
object, the section offset with bit zero set).
* For the purposes of relocation the value used shall be the address
of the instruction (st_value & ~1).

The reference from 'get_bar' to 'foo' seems wrong.
I have no solution for this because it is true in assembly level.
In the following output, relocation at 0x1c is no longer associated

the offset to 'bar' is encoded in the instruction 'r0, [r3, #4]'.

When find_elf_symbol() gets into a situation where relsym->st_name is
zero, there is no guarantee to get the symbol name as written in C.
I am keeping the current logic because it is useful in many architectures,
but the symbol name is not always correct depending on the optimization.
I left some comments in find_tosym().
