Towards the goal of removing cc-ldoption, it seems that --hash-style=
was added to binutils 2.17.50.0.2 in 2006. The minimal required version
of binutils for the kernel according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst is 2.20.
--build-id was added in 2.18 according to binutils-gdb/ld/NEWS.

When generating vdso-o32.lds & vdso-n32.lds for use with programs
running as compat ABIs under 64b kernels, we previously haven't included
the compiler flags that are supposedly common to all ABIs - ie. those in
the ccflags-vdso variable.
This is problematic in cases where we need to provide the -m%-float flag
in order to ensure that we don't attempt to use a floating point ABI
that's incompatible with the target CPU & ABI. For example a toolchain
using current gcc trunk configured --with-fp-32=xx fails to build a
64r6el_defconfig kernel with the following error:
cc1: error: '-march=mips1' requires '-mfp32'
make[2]: *** [arch/mips/vdso/Makefile:135: arch/mips/vdso/vdso-o32.lds] Error 1
Include $(ccflags-vdso) for the compat VDSO .lds builds, just as it is
included for the native VDSO .lds & when compiling objects for the
compat VDSOs. This ensures we consistently provide the -msoft-float flag
amongst others, avoiding the problem by ensuring we're agnostic to the
toolchain defaults.

The MIPS VDSO build currently doesn't provide the -msoft-float flag to
the compiler as the kernel proper does. This results in an attempt to
use the compiler's default floating point configuration, which can be
problematic in cases where this is incompatible with the target CPU's
-march= flag. For example decstation_defconfig fails to build using
toolchains in which gcc was configured --with-fp-32=xx with the
following error:
LDS arch/mips/vdso/vdso.lds
cc1: error: '-march=r3000' requires '-mfp32'
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:379: arch/mips/vdso/vdso.lds] Error 1
The kernel proper avoids this error because we build with the
-msoft-float compiler flag, rather than using the compiler's default.
Pass this flag through to the VDSO build so that it too becomes agnostic
to the toolchain's floating point configuration.
Note that this is filtered out from KBUILD_CFLAGS rather than simply
always using -msoft-float such that if we switch the kernel to use
-mno-float in the future the VDSO will automatically inherit the change.
The VDSO doesn't actually include any floating point code, and its
.MIPS.abiflags section is already manually generated to specify that
it's compatible with any floating point ABI. As such this change should
have no effect on the resulting VDSO, apart from fixing the build
failure for affected toolchains.

Select ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL in order to allow the user to
enable CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL and instrument the entire kernel for
ubsan checks.
We exclude the VDSO from this because its build doesn't include the
__ubsan_handle_*() functions that the kernel proper defines in from
lib/ubsan.c, and the VDSO would have no sane way to report errors even
if it had definitions of these functions.

When building the VDSO with clang it appears to invoke ld without
specifying endianness, even though clang itself was provided with a -EB
or -EL flag. This results in the build failing due to a mismatch between
the objects that are the input to ld, and the output it is attempting to
create:
VDSO arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg.raw
mips-linux-ld: arch/mips/vdso/elf.o: compiled for a big endian system
and target is little endian
mips-linux-ld: arch/mips/vdso/elf.o: endianness incompatible with that
of the selected emulation
mips-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file
arch/mips/vdso/elf.o
...
Work around this problem by explicitly specifying the link endianness
using -Wl,-EB or -Wl,-EL when -EB or -EL are part of KBUILD_CFLAGS. This
resolves the build failure when using clang, and doesn't have any
negative effect on gcc.

The MIPS VDSO code filters out a subset of known-good flags from
KBUILD_CFLAGS to use when building VDSO libraries. When we build using

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The problem here is mainly the missing asm/asm-prototypes.h header file
that is supposed to include the prototypes for each symbol that is exported
from an assembler file.
A second problem is that the asm/uaccess.h header contains some but not
all the necessary declarations for the user access helpers.
Finally, the vdso build is broken once we add asm/asm-prototypes.h, so
we have to fix this at the same time by changing the vdso header. My
approach here is to just not look for exported symbols in the VDSO
assembler files, as the symbols cannot be exported anyway.

The genvdso program modifies the debug and stripped versions of the
VDSOs in place, and errors if the modification has already taken place.
Unfortunately this means that a rebuild which tries to rerun genvdso to
generate vdso*-image.c without also rebuilding vdso.so.dbg (for example
if genvdso.c is modified) hits a build error like this:
arch/mips/vdso/genvdso 'arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg' already contains a '.MIPS.abiflags' section
This is fixed by reorganising the rules such that unmodified .so files
have a .raw suffix, and these are copied in the same rule that runs
genvdso on the copies.
I.e. previously we had:
cmd_vdsold:
link objects -> vdso.so.dbg
cmd_genvdso:
strip vdso.so.dbg -> vdso.so
run genvdso -> vdso-image.c
and modify vdso.so.dbg and vdso.so in place
Now we have:
cmd_vdsold:
link objects -> vdso.so.dbg.raw
a new cmd_objcopy based strip rule (inspired by ARM):
strip vdso.so.dbg.raw -> vdso.so.raw
cmd_genvdso:
copy vdso.so.dbg.raw -> vdso.so.dbg
copy vdso.so.raw -> vdso.so
run genvdso -> vdso-image.c

Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().
To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
(genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
compiled into the kernel.
On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
the mips_abi structure.
A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
function implementations which are added later.
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Add more comments
- Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
that needs it.
- Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
