Commit 0f71dcfb ("powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -fpatchable-function-entry") added a script to check for -fpatchable-function-entry compiler support. The script expects compiler to emit the section __patchable_function_entries and few nops after a function entry. If the compiler understands and emits the above, CONFIG_ARCH_USING_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY is set. So teach dummy-tools' gcc about this.

These symbol patterns were whitelisted to allow them to reference to functions with the old __devinit and __devexit annotations. We stopped doing this a long time ago, for example, commit 6f039790 ("Drivers: scsi: remove __dev* attributes.") remove those annotations from the scsi drivers. Keep *_ops, *_probe, and *_console, otherwise they will really cause section mismatch warnings. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

Masahiro Yamada authored
Drivers must not reference .meminit* sections, which are discarded when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n. The reason for whitelisting "*driver" in the section mismatch check was to allow drivers to reference symbols annotated as __devinit or __devexit that existed in the past. Those annotations were removed by the following commits: - 54b956b9 ("Remove __dev* markings from init.h") - 92e9e6d1 ("modpost.c: Stop checking __dev* section mismatches") Remove the stale whitelist.

scripts/pahole-flags.sh is executed so many times. You can confirm it, as follows: $ cat <<EOF >> scripts/pahole-flags.sh > echo "scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed" >&2 > EOF $ make -s scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed [ lots of repeated lines... ] This scripts is executed more than 20 times during the kernel build because PAHOLE_FLAGS is a recursively expanded variable and exported to sub-processes. With GNU Make >= 4.4, it is executed more than 60 times because exported variables are also passed to other $(shell ) invocations. Without careful coding, it is known to cause an exponential fork explosion. [1] The use of $(shell ) in an exported recursive variable is likely wrong because $(shell ) is always evaluated due to the 'export' keyword, and the evaluation can occur multiple times by the nature of recursive variables. Convert the shell script to a Makefile, which is included only when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y.

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install, leading to various issues: 1. Code duplication Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files to the install destination. Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks, introducing more code duplication. 2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install. It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic, as explained in commit 19514fc6 ("arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux"). 3. Broken code in some architectures Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another without proper adaptation. 'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work. 'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32. To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install rule. Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install. For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this: vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix, if exists, stripped away. vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso file as a different base name. The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile. vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such architectures change their implementation so that the base names match, this workaround will go away.

The first few lines of section_rel() and section_rela() are the same. They both retrieve the index of the section to which the relocaton applies, and skip known-good sections. This common code should be moved to check_sec_ref(). Avoid ugly casts when computing 'start' and 'stop', and also make the Elf_Rel and Elf_Rela pointers const.

The current TO_NATIVE() has some limitations: 1) You cannot cast the argument. 2) You cannot pass a variable marked as 'const'. 3) Passing an array is a bug, but it is not detected. Impelement TO_NATIVE() using bswap_*() functions. These are GNU extensions. If we face portability issues, we can port the code from include/uapi/linux/swab.h.

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(ishtp, ) is built on a host with a different endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect MODULE_ALIAS(). For example, see a case where drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.c is built as a module for x86. If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct MODULE_ALIAS: $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.mod.c MODULE_ALIAS("ishtp:{6A19CC4B-D760-4DE3-B14D-F25EBD0FBCD9}"); However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong MODULE_ALIAS: $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.mod.c MODULE_ALIAS("ishtp:{BD0FBCD9-F25E-B14D-4DE3-D7606A19CC4B}"); This issue has been unnoticed because the x86 kernel is most likely built natively on an x86 host.

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, ) is built on a host with a different endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect MODULE_ALIAS(). For example, see a case where drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.c is built as a module for ARM little-endian. If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct MODULE_ALIAS: $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c MODULE_ALIAS("tee:ab7a617c-b8e7-4d8f-8301-d09b61036b64*"); However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong MODULE_ALIAS: $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c MODULE_ALIAS("tee:646b0361-9bd0-0183-8f4d-e7b87c617aab*"); The same problem also occurs when you enable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, and build it on a little-endian host. This issue has been unnoticed because the ARM kernel is configured for little-endian by default, and most likely built on a little-endian host (cross-build on x86 or native-build on ARM).

The generation of the kernel-devel package is disabled for binrpm-pkg presumably because it was quite big (>= 200MB) and took a long time to package. Commit fe66b5d2 ("kbuild: refactor kernel-devel RPM package and linux-headers Deb package") reduced the package size to 12MB, and now it is quick to build. It won't hurt to have binrpm-pkg generate it by default. If you want to skip the kernel-devel package generation, you can pass RPMOPTS='--without devel': $ make binrpm-pkg RPMOPTS='--without devel' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

Currently, rustc defaults to invoking `cc`, even if `HOSTCC` is defined, resulting in build failures in hermetic environments where `cc` does not exist. This includes both hostprogs and proc-macros. Since we are setting the linker to `HOSTCC`, we set the linker flavor to `gcc` explicitly. The linker-flavor selects both which linker to search for if the linker is unset, and which kind of linker flags to pass. Without this flag, `rustc` would attempt to determine which flags to pass based on the name of the binary passed as `HOSTCC`. `gcc` is the name of the linker-flavor used by `rustc` for all C compilers, including both `gcc` and `clang`.
