We cannot detect clang before including the arch Makefile, because that
can set the default cross compiler. We also cannot detect clang after
including the arch Makefile, because powerpc wants to know about clang.
Solve this by using an deferred variable. This costs us a few shell
invocations, but this is only a constant number.

Since commit 1329e8cc69 ("modsign: Extract signing cert from
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY if needed"), the build system has carefully coped
with the signing key being specified as a relative path in either the
source or or the build trees.
However, the actual signing of modules has not worked if the filename
is relative to the source tree.
Fix that by moving the config_filename helper into scripts/Kbuild.include
so that it can be used from elsewhere, and then using it in the top-level
Makefile to find the signing key file.
Kill the intermediate $(MODPUBKEY) and $(MODSECKEY) variables too, while
we're at it. There's no need for them.

The current rule for generating signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509 is
a classic example of a bad rule which has a tendency to break parallel
make. When invoked to create *either* target, it generates the other
target as a side-effect that make didn't predict.
So let's switch to using a single file signing_key.pem which contains
both key and certificate. That matches what we do in the case of an
external key specified by CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY anyway, so it's also
slightly cleaner.

Move to using PKCS#7 messages as module signatures because:
(1) We have to be able to support the use of X.509 certificates that don't
have a subjKeyId set. We're currently relying on this to look up the
X.509 certificate in the trusted keyring list.
(2) PKCS#7 message signed information blocks have a field that supplies the
data required to match with the X.509 certificate that signed it.
(3) The PKCS#7 certificate carries fields that specify the digest algorithm
used to generate the signature in a standardised way and the X.509
certificates specify the public key algorithm in a standardised way - so
we don't need our own methods of specifying these.
(4) We now have PKCS#7 message support in the kernel for signed kexec purposes
and we can make use of this.
To make this work, the old sign-file script has been replaced with a program
that needs compiling in a previous patch. The rules to build it are added
here.

Running `make modules_install` ordinarily will overwrite existing

However, if CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS is enabled, modules are passed
through gzip and xz which then do the file writing. Both gzip and xz

When the host's C compiler is clang, and when attempting to
cross-compile Linux e.g. to MIPS with mipsel-linux-gcc, the Makefile
would incorrectly detect the use of clang, which resulted in
clang-specific flags being passed to mipsel-linux-gcc.
This can be verified under Debian by installing the "clang" package,
and then using it as the default compiler with:
sudo update-alternatives --config cc
This patch moves the detection of clang after the $(CC) variable is
initialized to the name of the cross-compiler, so that the check applies
to the cross-compiler and not the host's C compiler.

This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.
The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.
The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.
Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.
This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.
This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's
not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
Basic idea:
The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.
Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).
To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error
printed.
Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
[...]
As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
finish all tuning).
I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
relatively easy to port."
Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================
KMEMCHECK:
- KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses
compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
uninitialized memory reads.
Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:

DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
place of first bad read/write.

If the kernel is compiled with function tracer support the -pg compile option
is passed to gcc to generate extra code into the prologue of each function.
This patch replaces the "open-coded" -pg compile flag with a CC_FLAGS_FTRACE
makefile variable which architectures can override if a different option
should be used for code generation.

The introduction of the uapi directories in v3.7-rc1 moved some of the
generated headers from arch/*/include/generated to the uapi directory,
keeping the #include directives intact.
This creates a problem when bisecting, because the unversioned files are
not cleaned automatically by git and the compiler might include stale
headers as a result. Instead of cleaning them in the Makefiles, promote
arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the search path. Under normal
circumstances, there is no overlap between this uapi subdirectory and
its parent, so the include choices remain the same. We keep
arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the USERINCLUDE variable so that it is
usable standalone.
Note that we cannot completely swap the order of the uapi and
kernel-only directories, since the headers in include/uapi/asm-generic
are meant to be wrapped by their include/asm-generic counterparts when
building kernel code.

"make kvmconfig" expects that the .config has already been created,

in one shot command, like this:
$ make defconfig kvmconfig
To make sure this command works correctly even if -j* option is set,
we must handle them one by one.

The shorthand "clean" is defined in both the top Makefile and
scripts/Makefile.clean. Likewise, the "hdr-inst" is defined in
both the top Makefile and scripts/Makefile.headersinst.
To reduce code duplication, this commit collects them into
scripts/Kbuild.include like the "build" and "modbuiltin" shorthands.
It requires scripts/Makefile.clean to include scripts/Kbuild.include,
but its impact on the performance of "make clean" should be
negligible.

Sasha Levin reports:
"gcc5 changes the default standard to c11, which makes kernel build
unhappy
Explicitly define the kernel standard to be gnu89 which should keep
everything working exactly like it was before gcc5"
There are multiple small issues with the new default, but the biggest
issue seems to be that the old - and very useful - GNU extension to
allow a cast in front of an initializer has gone away.
Patch updated by Kirill:
"I'm pretty sure all gcc versions you can build kernel with supports
-std=gnu89. cc-option is redunrant.
We also need to adjust HOSTCFLAGS otherwise allmodconfig fails for me"
Note by Andrew Pinski:
"Yes it was reported and both problems relating to this extension has
been added to gnu99 and gnu11. Though there are other issues with the
kernel dealing with extern inline have different semantics between
gnu89 and gnu99/11"
End result: we may be able to move up to a newer stdc model eventually,
but right now the newer models have some annoying deficiencies, so the
traditional "gnu89" model ends up being the preferred one.

Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.
This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.
Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.
On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :
| time |
+-------------+-----------------+
| manual .ko | make | size | percent
| compression | modules_install | | gain
+-------------+-----------------+------+--------
- | | 18.61s | 378M |
GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41%
XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83%
The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.
This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.
