kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS

2026-03-12T11:09:44+00:00

commit 8678591b47469fe16357234efef9b260317b8be4 upstream. Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.

parisc: fix building with gcc-15

2025-05-20T16:01:02+00:00

The decompressor is built with the default C dialect, which is now gnu23 on gcc-15, and this clashes with the kernel's bool type definition: In file included from include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5, from arch/parisc/boot/compressed/misc.c:7: include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: cannot use keyword 'false' as enumeration constant 11 | false = 0, Add the -std=gnu11 argument here, as we do for all other architectures.

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

2024-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

Makefile: remove redundant tool coverage variables

2024-05-14T14:35:48+00:00

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and profilers. Remove redundant variables. Note: This commit changes the coverage for some objects: - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel space objects.

Presumably, arch/{parisc,s390,sh}/boot/compressed/Makefile copied arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile, but vmlinux.bin.all-y is useless here because it is the same as $(obj)/vmlinux.bin. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

kbuild: rename cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}

2022-01-13T17:54:05+00:00

GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel) exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}. Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended size data is only useful for the decompressors. There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored. In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data. That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op. To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames the existing macros as follows: cmd_bzip2 --> cmd_bzip2_with_size cmd_lzma --> cmd_lzma_with_size cmd_lzo --> cmd_lzo_with_size cmd_lz4 --> cmd_lz4_with_size cmd_xzkern --> cmd_xzkern_with_size cmd_zstd22 --> cmd_zstd22_with_size To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles accordingly: arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce the compressed data in the proper format. I did not touch the following: arch/arc/boot/Makefile arch/arm64/boot/Makefile arch/csky/boot/Makefile arch/mips/boot/Makefile arch/riscv/boot/Makefile arch/sh/boot/Makefile kernel/Makefile This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data. I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier
