 "The main changes are extending the TPM 2.0 PCR banks with bank
  specific file hashes, calculating the "boot_aggregate" based on other
  TPM PCR banks, using the default IMA hash algorithm, instead of SHA1,
  as the basis for the cache hash table key, and preventing the mprotect
  syscall to circumvent an IMA mmap appraise policy rule.

   - In preparation for extending TPM 2.0 PCR banks with bank specific
     digests, commit 0b6cf6b9 ("tpm: pass an array of
     tpm_extend_digest structures to tpm_pcr_extend()") modified
     tpm_pcr_extend(). The original SHA1 file digests were
     padded/truncated, before being extended into the other TPM PCR
     banks. This pull request calculates and extends the TPM PCR banks
     with bank specific file hashes completing the above change.

   - The "boot_aggregate", the first IMA measurement list record, is the
     "trusted boot" link between the pre-boot environment and the
     running OS. With TPM 2.0, the "boot_aggregate" record is not
     limited to being based on the SHA1 TPM PCR bank, but can be
     calculated based on any enabled bank, assuming the hash algorithm
     is also enabled in the kernel.

  Other changes include the following and five other bug fixes/code
  clean up:

   - supporting both a SHA1 and a larger "boot_aggregate" digest in a
     custom template format containing both the the SHA1 ('d') and
     larger digests ('d-ng') fields.

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 The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete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.

Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to

second letter 'L' in the kernel were filtered out, not just
the symbols starting with 'dot + L'.

For example:
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ cat System.map |grep ' .L'
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ nm -n vmlinux |grep ' .L'

ffff0000092e0410 b PLLP_OUTA_lock

The original intent should be to filter out all local symbols
starting with '.L', so the dot should be escaped.

Previously, there were two cases where mod->is_dot_o is unset:

[1] the executable 'vmlinux' in the second pass of modpost
[2] modules loaded by read_dump()

I think [1] was intended usage to distinguish 'vmlinux.o' and 'vmlinux'.
Now that modpost does not parse the executable 'vmlinux', this case
does not happen.

[2] is obscure, maybe a bug. Module.symver stores module paths without
extension. So, none of modules loaded by read_dump() has the .o suffix,
and new_module() unsets ->is_dot_o. Anyway, it is not a big deal because
handle_symbol() is not called for the case.

To sum up, all the parsed ELF files are .o files.

mod->is_dot_o is unneeded.

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

grab_file() mmaps a file, but it is not so efficient here because
get_next_line() copies every line to the temporary buffer anyway.

read_text_file() and get_line() are simpler. get_line() exploits the
library function strchr().

Going forward, the missing *.symvers or *.cmd is a fatal error.
This should not happen because scripts/Makefile.modpost guards the
-i option files with $(wildcard $(input-symdump)).
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

One problem of grab_file() is that it cannot distinguish the following
two cases:

 - It cannot read the file (the file does not exist, or read permission
   is not set)

 - It can read the file, but the file size is zero

This is because grab_file() calls mmap(), which requires the mapped
length is greater than 0. Hence, grab_file() fails for both cases.

If an empty header file were included for checksum calculation, the
following warning would be printed:

  WARNING: modpost: could not open ...: Invalid argument

An empty file is a valid source file, so it should not fail.

Use read_text_file() instead. It can read a zero-length file.
Then, parse_file() will succeed with doing nothing.

Going forward, the first case (it cannot read the file) is a fatal
error. If the source file from which an object was compiled is missing,
something went wrong.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

I do not know how reliably this function works, but it looks dangerous
to me.

    strchr(sources, '\n');

... continues searching until it finds '\n' or it reaches the '\0'
terminator. In other words, 'sources' should be a null-terminated
string.

However, grab_file() just mmaps a file, so 'sources' is not terminated
with null byte. If the file does not contain '\n' at all, strchr() will
go beyond the mmap'ed memory.

Use read_text_file(), which loads the file content into a malloc'ed
buffer, appending null byte.

Here we are interested only in the first line of *.mod files. Use
get_line() helper to get the first line.

This also makes missing *.mod file a fatal error.

Commit 4be40e22 ("kbuild: do not emit src version warning for
non-modules") ignored missing *.mod files.

I do not fully understand what that commit addressed, but commit
91341d4b ("kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch
analysis") introduced partial section checks by using modpost. built-in.o
was parsed by modpost. Even modules had a problem because *.mod files
were created after the modpost check.

Commit b7dca6dd ("kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and
remove MODVERDIR") stopped doing that. Now that modpost is only invoked
after the directory descend, *.mod files should always exist at the
modpost stage.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

modpost uses grab_file() to open a file, but it is not suitable for
a text file because the mmap'ed file is not terminated by null byte.
Actually, I see some issues for the use of grab_file().

The new helper, read_text_file() loads the whole file content into a
malloc'ed buffer, and appends a null byte. Then, get_line() reads
each line.

To handle text files, I intend to replace as follows:

  grab_file()    -> read_text_file()
  get_new_line() -> get_line()

The three calls of get_modinfo() ("license", "import_ns", "version")

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.

and print the warning if any dump file is missing.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

check_exports() does not print warnings about unresolved symbols if
vmlinux is missing because there would be too many.

This situation happens when you do 'make modules' from the clean
tree, or compile external modules against a kernel tree that has
not been completely built.

It is dangerous to not check unresolved symbols because you might be
building useless modules. At least it should be warned.

Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked when you run

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

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.

Prepare to use -i for in-tree modpost as well.

The symbol dump *.symvers is the output of modpost. Print it in
the short log.

Previously, the -i option had two functions; load a symbol dump file,
and set the external_module flag.

I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them.

Going forward, the -i is used to load a symbol dump file, and the -e
to set the external_module flag.

With this, we will be able to use -i for loading in-kernel symbols.

The -i option is used to include Modules.symver as well as files from
$(KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS).

Make the struct and variable names more generic.
