      kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf · 8b41fc44
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Commit bc081dd6 ("kbuild: generate modules.builtin") added
      infrastructure to generate modules.builtin, the list of all
      builtin modules.
      
      Basically, it works like this:
      
        - Kconfig generates include/config/tristate.conf, the list of
          tristate CONFIG options with a value in a capital letter.
      
        - scripts/Makefile.modbuiltin makes Kbuild descend into
          directories to collect the information of builtin modules.
      
      I am not a big fan of it because Kbuild ends up with traversing
      the source tree twice.
      
      I am not sure how perfectly it should work, but this approach cannot
      avoid false positives; even if the relevant CONFIG option is tristate,
      some Makefiles forces obj-m to obj-y.
      
      Some examples are:
      
        arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/Makefile:
          obj-$(CONFIG_NVRAM:m=y)         += nvram.o
      
        net/ipv6/Makefile:
          obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += inet6_hashtables.o
      
        net/netlabel/Makefile:
          obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += netlabel_calipso.o
      
      Nobody has complained about (or noticed) it, so it is probably fine to
      have false positives in modules.builtin.
      
      This commit simplifies the implementation. Let's exploit the fact
      that every module has MODULE_LICENSE(). (modpost shows a warning if
      MODULE_LICENSE is missing. If so, 0-day bot would already have blocked
      such a module.)
      
      I added MODULE_FILE to <linux/module.h>. When the code is being compiled
      as builtin, it will be filled with the file path of the module, and
      collected into modules.builtin.info. Then, scripts/link-vmlinux.sh
      extracts the list of builtin modules out of it.
      
      This new approach fixes the false-positives above, but adds another
      type of false-positives; non-modular code may have MODULE_LICENSE()
      by mistake. This is not a big deal, it is just the code is always
      orphan. We can clean it up if we like. You can see cleanup examples by:
      
        $ git log --grep='make.* explicitly non-modular'
      
      To sum up, this commits deletes lots of code, but still produces almost
      equivalent results. Please note it does not increase the vmlinux size at
      all. As you can see in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, the .modinfo
      section is discarded in the link stage.

      kbuild: pass KBUILD_MODFILE when compiling builtin objects · 1664a377
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      When compiling, Kbuild passes KBUILD_BASENAME (basename of the object)
      and KBUILD_MODNAME (basename of the module).
      
      This commit adds another one, KBUILD_MODFILE, which is the path of
      the module. (or, the path of the module it would end up in if it were
      compiled as a module.)
      
      The next commit will use this to generate modules.builtin without
      tristate.conf.

      kbuild: use pattern rule for building built-in.a in sub-directories · a7499267
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      The built-in.a in a sub-directory is created by descending into that
      directory. It does not depend on the other sub-directories. Loosen
      the dependency.

      kbuild: do not create orphan built-in.a or obj-y objects · 56d58936
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Both 'obj-y += foo/' and 'obj-m += foo/' request Kbuild to visit the
      sub-directory foo/, but the difference is that only the former combines
      foo/built-in.a into the built-in.a of the current directory because
      everything in sub-directories visited by obj-m is supposed to be modular.
      
      So, it makes sense to create built-in.a only if that sub-directory is
      reachable by the chain of obj-y. Otherwise, built-in.a will not be
      linked into vmlinux anyway. For the same reason, it is pointless to
      compile obj-y objects in the directory visited by obj-m.

      kbuild: detect missing include guard for exported headers · 55119786
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Adding an include guard to every header file is good practice in case
      it is included multiple times.
      
      Exported headers are compile-tested for the comprehensive sanity checks.
      Let's include the same header twice. If an include guard is missing,
      the header will fail to build due to redefinition of something.

      Documentation: riscv: add patch acceptance guidelines · 0e194d9d
      Paul Walmsley authored
      Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for
      arch/riscv.  In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to
      only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been
      frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation.
      
      We've been following these guidelines for the past few months.  In the
      meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be
      helpful to have these guidelines formally documented.
      
      Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this
      file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier
      to find.  The format of this document has also been changed to align
      to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance
      with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams.

      riscv: prefix IRQ_ macro names with an RV_ namespace · 2f3035da
      Paul Walmsley authored
      "IRQ_TIMER", used in the arch/riscv CSR header file, is a sufficiently
      generic macro name that it's used by several source files across the
      Linux code base.  Some of these other files ultimately include the
      arch/riscv CSR include file, causing collisions.  Fix by prefixing the
      RISC-V csr.h IRQ_ macro names with an RV_ prefix.

      clocksource: riscv: add notrace to riscv_sched_clock · 9d05c18e
      Zong Li authored
      When enabling ftrace graph tracer, it gets the tracing clock in
      ftrace_push_return_trace().  Eventually, it invokes riscv_sched_clock()
      to get the clock value.  If riscv_sched_clock() isn't marked with
      'notrace', it will call ftrace_push_return_trace() and cause infinite
      loop.
      
      The result of failure as follow:
