Masahiro Yamada 7f58b487e9 kbuild: make Clang build userprogs for target architecture
Programs added 'userprogs' should be compiled for the target
architecture i.e. the same architecture as the kernel.

GCC does this correctly since the target architecture is implied
by the toolchain prefix.

Clang builds userspace programs always for the host architecture
because the target triple is currently missing.

Fix this.

Masahiro Yamada 2c6d9636ad Revert "Makefile: install modules.builtin even if CONFIG_MODULES=n"
This reverts commit e0b250b57d,
which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain
path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'.

  $ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install
  mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied
  Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed
  make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1

While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change
in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install"
can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas
originally suggested.

Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.

Arvind Sankar 7b16994437 Makefile: Improve compressed debug info support detection
Commit
  10e68b02c8 ("Makefile: support compressed debug info")
added support for compressed debug sections.

Support is detected by checking
- does the compiler support -gz=zlib
- does the assembler support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib
- does the linker support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib

However, the gcc driver's support for this option is somewhat
convoluted. The driver's builtin specs are set based on the version of
binutils that it was configured with. It reports an error if the
configure-time linker/assembler (i.e., not necessarily the actual
assembler that will be run) do not support the option, but only if the
assembler (or linker) is actually invoked when -gz=zlib is passed.

The cc-option check in scripts/Kconfig.include does not invoke the
assembler, so the gcc driver reports success even if it does not support
the option being passed to the assembler.

Because the as-option check passes the option directly to the assembler
via -Wa,--compressed-debug-sections=zlib, the gcc driver does not see
this option and will never report an error.

Combined with an installed version of binutils that is more recent than
the one the compiler was built with, it is possible for all three tests
to succeed, yet an actual compilation with -gz=zlib to fail.

Moreover, it is unnecessary to explicitly pass
--compressed-debug-sections=zlib to the assembler via -Wa, since the
driver will do that automatically when it supports -gz=zlib.

Convert the as-option to just -gz=zlib, simplifying it as well as
performing a better test of the gcc driver's capabilities.

Denis Efremov e4a42c82e9 kbuild: fix broken builds because of GZIP,BZIP2,LZOP variables
Redefine GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP variables as KGZIP, KBZIP2, KLZOP resp.
GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP env variables are reserved by the tools. The original
attempt to redefine them internally doesn't work in makefiles/scripts
intercall scenarios, e.g., "make GZIP=gzip bindeb-pkg" and results in
broken builds. There can be other broken build commands because of this,
so the universal solution is to use non-reserved env variables for the
compression tools.

Denis Efremov 8dfb61dcba kbuild: add variables for compression tools
Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools,
such as pigz, pbzip2, pxz. For example, multi-threaded tools to
speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2

Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env
vars are reserved by the tools. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete
since 2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) still rely
on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent.

The credit goes to @grsecurity.

As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use:
$ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0"

Jonas Zeiger e0b250b57d Makefile: install modules.builtin even if CONFIG_MODULES=n
Many applications check for available kernel features via:

  - /proc/modules (loaded modules, present if CONFIG_MODULES=y)
  - $(MODLIB)/modules.builtin (builtin modules)

They fail to detect features if the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODULES=n
and modules.builtin isn't installed.

Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and
"modules_install" depend on it.

Tests results:

  - make install: kernel image is copied as before, modules.builtin copied
  - make modules_install: (CONFIG_MODULES=n) nothing is copied, exit 1

Masahiro Yamada 48a0f72797 modpost: show warning if any of symbol dump files is missing
If modpost fails to load a symbol dump file, it cannot check unresolved
symbols, hence module dependency will not be added. Nor CRCs can be added.

Currently, external module builds check only $(objtree)/Module.symvers,
but it should check files specified by KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS as well.

Move the warning message from the top Makefile to scripts/Makefile.modpost
and print the warning if any dump file is missing.

Masahiro Yamada 269a535ca9 modpost: generate vmlinux.symvers and reuse it for the second modpost
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.

Make modules.order depend on $(obj-m), and use if_changed to build it.
This will avoid unneeded update of modules.order, which will be useful

Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked. By checking the

Linus Torvalds 533b220f7b arm64 updates for 5.8
- Branch Target Identification (BTI)
 	* Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This
 	  allows branch targets to limit the types of branch from which
 	  they can be called and additionally prevents branching to
 	  arbitrary code, although kernel support requires a very recent
 	  toolchain.
 
 	* Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly
 	  functions are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad"
 	  instructions.
 
 	* BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
 
 	* Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to
 	  userspace via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader
 	  support for the BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
 
 	* Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
 	  trampoline.
 
 - Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
 	* Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
 	  platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each
 	  task that holds only return addresses. This protects function
 	  return control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
 
 	* Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
 	  hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
 
 	* Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
 	  too.
 
 	* SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
 	  stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
 
 - CPU feature detection
 	* Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
 	  with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a
 	  concern for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on
 	  such a system.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.

  Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
  Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
  arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
  easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support

  Branch Target Identification (BTI):

   - Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
     branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
     called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
     although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.

   - Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
     are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.

   - BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.

   - Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
     via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
     BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.

   - Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
     trampoline.

  Shadow Call Stack (SCS):

   - Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
     platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
     that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
     control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.

   - Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
     hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).

   - Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
     too.

   - SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
     stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.

  CPU feature detection:

   - Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
     with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
     for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.

   - Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
     been extended.

  Perf and PMU drivers:

   - Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.

  Hardware errata:

   - Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.

   - Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.

  Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):

   - Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).

   - Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.

  Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):

   - Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.

   - Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.

  Pointer authentication:

   - Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
     the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.

   - Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.

  BPF backend:

   - Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.

  vDSO:

   - Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
     architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.

   - Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.

  ACPI:

   - Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
     the "num_ids" field.

   - Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
     root complexes.

   - Minor other IORT-related fixes.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
     deadlock.

   - Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
     TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).

   - Refactoring and cleanup"

Nick Desaulniers 10e68b02c8 Makefile: support compressed debug info
As debug information gets larger and larger, it helps significantly save
the size of vmlinux images to compress the information in the debug
information sections. Note: this debug info is typically split off from
the final compressed kernel image, which is why vmlinux is what's used
in conjunction with GDB. Minimizing the debug info size should have no
impact on boot times, or final compressed kernel image size.

All of the debug sections will have a `C` flag set.

Masahiro Yamada e9e81b6343 kbuild: disallow multi-word in M= or KBUILD_EXTMOD
$(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit
3f3fd3c055 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost")
to build multiple external module directories.

It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external
module depends on another external module.

Commit 0d96fb20b7 ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol
info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support.

  include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \
               $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile)

... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words.

This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the
bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains
multiple words.

As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends
on another one, there are two solutions:
  - add a common top-level Kbuild file
  - use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS

Masahiro Yamada 7f3a59db27 kbuild: add infrastructure to build userspace programs
Kbuild supports the infrastructure to build host programs, but there
was no support to build userspace programs for the target architecture
(i.e. the same architecture as the kernel).

Sam Ravnborg worked on this in 2014 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/154),
but it was not merged. One problem at that time was, there was no good way
to know whether $(CC) can link standalone programs. In fact, pre-built
kernel.org toolchains [1] are often used for building the kernel, but they
do not provide libc.

Now, we can handle this cleanly because the compiler capability is
evaluated at the Kconfig time. If $(CC) cannot link standalone programs,
the relevant options are hidden by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'.

The implementation just mimics scripts/Makefile.host

The userspace programs are compiled with the same flags as the host
programs. In addition, it uses -m32 or -m64 if it is found in
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS).

This new syntax has two usecases.

- Sample programs

  Several userspace programs under samples/ include UAPI headers
  installed in usr/include. Most of them were previously built for
  the host architecture just to use the 'hostprogs' syntax.

  However, 'make headers' always works for the target architecture.
  This caused the arch mismatch in cross-compiling. To fix this
  distortion, sample code should be built for the target architecture.

- Bpfilter

  net/bpfilter/Makefile compiles bpfilter_umh as the user mode helper,
  and embeds it into the kernel. Currently, it overrides HOSTCC with
  CC to use the 'hostprogs' syntax. This hack should go away.

Sami Tolvanen d08b9f0ca6 scs: Add support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack,
which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being
overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html

Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading
and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack
control flow by modifying the stacks.

Linus Torvalds adc7192096 gcc-10: disable 'restrict' warning for now
gcc-10 now warns about passing aliasing pointers to functions that take
restricted pointers.

That's actually a great warning, and if we ever start using 'restrict'
in the kernel, it might be quite useful.  But right now we don't, and it
turns out that the only thing this warns about is an idiom where we have
declared a few functions to be "printf-like" (which seems to make gcc
pick up the restricted pointer thing), and then we print to the same
buffer that we also use as an input.

And people do that as an odd concatenation pattern, with code like this:

    #define sysfs_show_gen_prop(buffer, fmt, ...) \
        snprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, "%s"fmt, buffer, __VA_ARGS__)

where we have 'buffer' as both the destination of the final result, and
as the initial argument.

Yes, it's a bit questionable.  And outside of the kernel, people do have
standard declarations like

    int snprintf( char *restrict buffer, size_t bufsz,
                  const char *restrict format, ... );

where that output buffer is marked as a restrict pointer that cannot
alias with any other arguments.

But in the context of the kernel, that 'use snprintf() to concatenate to
the end result' does work, and the pattern shows up in multiple places.
And we have not marked our own version of snprintf() as taking restrict
pointers, so the warning is incorrect for now, and gcc picks it up on
its own.

If we do start using 'restrict' in the kernel (and it might be a good
idea if people find places where it matters), we'll need to figure out
how to avoid this issue for snprintf and friends.  But in the meantime,
this warning is not useful.

Linus Torvalds 44720996e2 gcc-10: disable 'array-bounds' warning for now
This is another fine warning, related to the 'zero-length-bounds' one,
but hitting the same historical code in the kernel.

Because C didn't historically support flexible array members, we have
code that instead uses a one-sized array, the same way we have cases of
zero-sized arrays.

The one-sized arrays come from either not wanting to use the gcc
zero-sized array extension, or from a slight convenience-feature, where
particularly for strings, the size of the structure now includes the
allocation for the final NUL character.

So with a "char name[1];" at the end of a structure, you can do things
like

       v = my_malloc(sizeof(struct vendor) + strlen(name));

and avoid the "+1" for the terminator.

Yes, the modern way to do that is with a flexible array, and using
'offsetof()' instead of 'sizeof()', and adding the "+1" by hand.  That
also technically gets the size "more correct" in that it avoids any
alignment (and thus padding) issues, but this is another long-term
cleanup thing that will not happen for 5.7.

So disable the warning for now, even though it's potentially quite
useful.  Having a slew of warnings that then hide more urgent new issues
is not an improvement.

Linus Torvalds 5c45de21a2 gcc-10: disable 'zero-length-bounds' warning for now
This is a fine warning, but we still have a number of zero-length arrays
in the kernel that come from the traditional gcc extension.  Yes, they
are getting converted to flexible arrays, but in the meantime the gcc-10
warning about zero-length bounds is very verbose, and is hiding other
issues.

I missed one actual build failure because it was hidden among hundreds
of lines of warning.  Thankfully I caught it on the second go before
pushing things out, but it convinced me that I really need to disable
the new warnings for now.

We'll hopefully be all done with our conversion to flexible arrays in
the not too distant future, and we can then re-enable this warning.

Linus Torvalds 78a5255ffb Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized
We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.
