mips: Add -std= flag specified in KBUILD_CFLAGS to vdso CFLAGS

2025-06-27T10:08:50+00:00

commit 0f4ae7c6ecb89bfda026d210dcf8216fb67d2333 upstream. GCC 15 changed the default C standard dialect from gnu17 to gnu23, which should not have impacted the kernel because it explicitly requests the gnu11 standard in the main Makefile. However, mips/vdso code uses its own CFLAGS without a '-std=' value, which break with this dialect change because of the kernel's own definitions of bool, false, and true conflicting with the C23 reserved keywords. include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: cannot use keyword 'false' as enumeration constant 11 | false = 0, | ^~~~~ include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: note: 'false' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: 'bool' cannot be defined via 'typedef' 35 | typedef _Bool bool; | ^~~~ include/linux/types.h:35:33: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards Add -std as specified in KBUILD_CFLAGS to the decompressor and purgatory CFLAGS to eliminate these errors and make the C standard version of these areas match the rest of the kernel.

MIPS: VDSO: Conditionally export __vdso_gettimeofday()

2023-08-23T07:06:38+00:00

ld.lld 16.0.0 and newer defaults to '--no-undefined-version', which causes the following error when CONFIG_MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL is not set: ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_2.6' to symbol '__vdso_gettimeofday' failed: symbol not defined Only export __vdso_gettimeofday() when it will be present in the final object file, which clears up the error.

vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations

2023-03-21T20:15:34+00:00

The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture, which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative relocations too. However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them. Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting .so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

MIPS: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

2022-11-21T16:56:53+00:00

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build now contains warnings that look like: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead. Here are the steps to install the latest grep: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make sudo make install export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

MIPS: VDSO: remove -nostdlib compiler flag

2021-11-09T15:09:37+00:00

The -nostdlib option requests the compiler to not use the standard system startup files or libraries when linking. It is effective only when $(CC) is used as a linker driver. Since commit 2ff906994b6c ("MIPS: VDSO: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO"), $(LD) is directly used, hence -nostdlib is unneeded.

kbuild: LD_VERSION redenomination

2021-02-11T20:12:31+00:00

Commit ccbef1674a15 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO. At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272) The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows: # We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not # support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object. # XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too # XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that? ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y) ... However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272) So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by commit 0d61ed17dd30 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version components"). Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros. Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.
