Since commit ff9b45c55b ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead
of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), a module is no longer built in the following
pattern:
[Makefile]
subdir-y := some-module
[some-module/Makefile]
obj-m := some-module.o
You cannot write Makefile this way in upstream because modules.order is
not correctly generated. subdir-y is used to descend to a sub-directory
that builds tools, device trees, etc.
For external modules, the modules order does not matter. So, the
Makefile above was known to work.
I believe the Makefile should be re-written as follows:
[Makefile]
obj-m := some-module/
[some-module/Makefile]
obj-m := some-module.o
However, people will have no idea if their Makefile suddenly stops
working. In fact, I received questions from multiple people.
Show a warning for a while if obj-m is specified in a Makefile visited
by subdir-y or subdir-m.
I touched the %/ rule to avoid false-positive warnings for the single
target.

The modules.order files in directories visited by the chain of obj-y
or obj-m are merged to the upper-level ones, and become parts of the
top-level modules.order. On the other hand, there is no need to
generate modules.order in directories visited by subdir-y or subdir-m
since they would become orphan anyway.

Currently, *.mod is created as a side-effect of obj-m.
Split out *.mod as a dedicated build rule, which allows to unify
the %.c -> %.o rule, and remove the single-used-m rule.
This also makes the incremental build of allmodconfig faster because
it saves $(NM) invocation when there is no change in the module.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
The current format of *.mod is like this:
line 1: directory path to the .ko file
line 2: a list of objects linked into this module
line 3: unresolved symbols (only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y)
Now that *.mod and *.ko are created in the same directory, the line 1
provides no valuable information. It can be derived by replacing the
extension .mod with .ko. In fact, nobody uses the first line any more.
Cut down the first line.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
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 551559e13a ("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 3a48a91901 ("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.

Currently, only the top-level modules.order drops duplicated entries.
The modules.order files in sub-directories potentially contain
duplication. To list out the paths of all modules, I want to use
modules.order instead of parsing *.mod files in $(MODVERDIR).
To achieve this, I want to rip off duplication from modules.order
of external modules too.

Removing the 'kernel/' prefix will make our life easier because we can
simply do 'cat modules.order' to get all built modules with full paths.
Currently, we parse the first line of '*.mod' files in $(MODVERDIR).
Since we have duplicated functionality here, I plan to remove MODVERDIR
entirely.
In fact, modules.order is generated also for external modules in a
broken format. It adds the 'kernel/' prefix to the absolute path of
the module, like this:
kernel//path/to/your/external/module/foo.ko
This is fine for now since modules.order is not used for external
modules. However, I want to sanitize the format everywhere towards
the goal of removing MODVERDIR.
We cannot change the format of installed module.{order,builtin}.
So, 'make modules_install' will add the 'kernel/' prefix while copying
them to $(MODLIB)/.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Currently, $(objtree)/modules.order is touched in two places.
In the 'prepare0' rule, scripts/Makefile.build creates an empty
modules.order while processing 'obj=.'
In the 'modules' rule, the top-level Makefile overwrites it with
the correct list of modules.
While this might be a good side-effect that modules.order is made
empty every time (probably this is not intended functionality),
I personally do not like this behavior.
Create modules.order only when it is sensible to do so.
This avoids creating the following pointless files:
scripts/basic/modules.order
scripts/dtc/modules.order
scripts/gcc-plugins/modules.order
scripts/genksyms/modules.order
scripts/mod/modules.order
scripts/modules.order
scripts/selinux/genheaders/modules.order
scripts/selinux/mdp/modules.order
scripts/selinux/modules.order
Going forward, $(objtree)/modules.order lists the modules that
was built in the last successful build.

header-test-y does not work with headers in sub-directories.
For example, you may want to write a Makefile, like this:
include/linux/Kbuild:
header-test-y += mtd/nand.h
This entry will create a wrapper include/linux/mtd/nand.hdrtest.c
with the following content:
#include "mtd/nand.h"
To make this work, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux to the
header search path. It would be tedious to add ccflags-y.
Instead, we could change the *.hdrtest.c rule to wrap:
#include "nand.h"
This works for in-tree build since #include "..." searches in the
relative path from the header with this directive. For O=... build,
we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux/mtd to the header search path,
which will be even more tedious.
After all, I thought it would be handier to compile headers directly
without creating wrappers.
I added a new build rule to compile %.h into %.h.s
The target is %.h.s instead of %.h.o because it is slightly faster.
Also, as for GCC, an empty assembly is smaller than an empty object.
I wrote the build rule:
$(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c /dev/null -include $<
instead of:
$(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c $<
Both work fine with GCC, but the latter is bad for Clang.
This comes down to the difference in the -Wunused-function policy.
GCC does not warn about unused 'static inline' functions at all.
Clang does not warn about the ones in included headers, but does
about the ones in the source. So, we should handle headers as
headers, not as source files.
In fact, this has been hidden since commit abb2ea7dfd ("compiler,
clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"), but we
should not rely on that.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers
remain self-contained, i.e. that they are compilable as standalone
units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on.
Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add
headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will
generate a dummy C file per header that gets built as part of extra-y.

It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.
Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.
Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

[2] As a flag to check if sub-make is already done
[3] As a flag to check if Kbuild runs out of tree
For [1], we do not need to remember it because the top Makefile
can compute it by $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))

Let's move it to scripts/Kbuild.include, with no prerequisites.

The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of
shell commands into a single macro:
define foo
[action1]
[action2]
[action3]
endif
Each action is executed in a separate subshell.
However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are
written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*):
define rule_cc_o_c
[action1] ; \
[action2] ; \
[action3] ;
endef
All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like
a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not
exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single
shell command can be more simply written, like this:
rule_cc_o_c = \
[action1] ; \
[action2] ; \
[action3] ;
I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the
'@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands.
We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro.
The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S
have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have
been removed.
Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and
rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell,
but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn
extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for
x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability
and maintainability wins.
[1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command
directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special
characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell
will not change the behavior.

My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include
and scripts/Makefile.build.
Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick;
possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace
EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is
post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing
is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly.
I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy
symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those
dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then
appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a
new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy
symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker
script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules.
A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will
be much faster.

Let $(CC) compile objects into normal files *.o instead of .tmp_*.o
whether CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled or not. With this, the input
file for objtool is always *.o so objtool_o can go away.
I guess the reason of using .tmp_*.o for intermediate objects was
to avoid leaving incomplete *.o file (, whose timestamp says it is
up-to-date) when the genksyms tool failed for some reasons.
It no longer matters because any targets are deleted on errors since
commit 9c2af1c737 ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target").
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Currently, fixdep writes dependencies to .*.tmp, which is renamed to
.*.cmd after everything succeeds. This is a very safe way to avoid
corrupted .*.cmd files. The if_changed_dep has carried this safety
mechanism since it was added in 2002.
If fixdep fails for some reasons or a user terminates the build while
fixdep is running, the incomplete output from the fixdep could be
troublesome.
This is my insight about some bad scenarios:
[1] If the compiler succeeds to generate *.o file, but fixdep fails
to write necessary dependencies to .*.cmd file, Make will miss
to rebuild the object when headers or CONFIG options are changed.
In this case, fixdep should not generate .*.cmd file at all so
that 'arg-check' will surely trigger the rebuild of the object.
[2] A partially constructed .*.cmd file may not be a syntactically
correct makefile. The next time Make runs, it would include it,
then fail to parse it. Once this happens, 'make clean' is be the
only way to fix it.
In fact, [1] is no longer a problem since commit 9c2af1c737 ("kbuild:
add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"). Make deletes a target file on
any failure in its recipe. Because fixdep is a part of the recipe of
*.o target, if it fails, the *.o is deleted anyway. However, I am a
bit worried about the slight possibility of [2].
So, here is a solution. Let fixdep directly write to a .*.cmd file,
but allow makefiles to include it only when its corresponding target
exists.
This effectively reverts commit 2982c95357 ("kbuild: remove redundant
$(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation"), and commit 00d78ab2ba
("kbuild: remove dead code in cmd_files calculation in top Makefile")
because now we must check the presence of targets.

'ifeq ... else ifeq ... endif' notation is supported by GNU Make 3.81
or later, which is the requirement for building the kernel since
commit 37d69ee308 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81").
Use it to improve the readability.

Since commit c8589d1e9e ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency
appropriately"), $^ really represents all the prerequisite of the
composite object being built.
Hence, $(filter %.o,$^) contains all the objects to link together,
which is much simpler than link_multi_deps calculation.
Please note $(filter-out FORCE,$^) does not work here. When a single
object module is turned into a multi object module, $^ will contain
header files that were previously included for building the single
object, and recorded in the .*.cmd file. To filter out such headers,
$(filter %.o,$^) should be used here.

When building to record the mcount locations the kernel uses
KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. This means it lacks
-Qunused-arguments when building with clang, resulting in a lot of
noisy warnings.

Commit cafa0010cd ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
bumped the minimum GCC version to 4.6 for all architectures.
This effectively reverts commit da541b2002 ("objtool: Skip unreachable
warnings for GCC 4.4 and older"), which was a workaround for GCC 4.4 or
older.

Commit a0f97e06a4 ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
Commit 222d394d30 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.
Commit 06c5040cdb ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.
For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.
I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers
This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of
a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.
He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockde and the latency tracers
just get called directly (without using the trace events).
But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely
we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs
disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not
allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes
an NMI safe SRCU API.
- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
- Addition of mcount-nop option support
- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.
- Various other fixes and clean ups.
- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested
before the merge window opened.

Currently if CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is enabled -mrecord-mcount
compiler flag support is tested for every Makefile.
Top 4 cc-option usages:
511 -mrecord-mcount
11 -fno-stack-protector
9 -Wno-override-init
2 -fsched-pressure
To address that move cc-option from scripts/Makefile.build to top Makefile
and export CC_USING_RECORD_MCOUNT to be used in original place.
While doing that also add -mrecord-mcount to CC_FLAGS_FTRACE (if gcc
actually supports it).
