vmlinux.lds.h: Remove a reference to no longer used sections .text..refcount

2023-07-11T21:29:43+00:00

Sections .text..refcount were previously used to hold an error path code for fast refcount overflow protection on x86, see commit 7a46ec0e2f48 ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection") and commit 564c9cc84e2a ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Use unique .text section for refcount exceptions"). The code was replaced and removed in commit fb041bb7c0a9 ("locking/refcount: Consolidate implementations of refcount_t") and no sections .text..refcount are present since then. Remove then a relic referencing these sections from TEXT_TEXT to avoid confusing people, like me. This is a non-functional change.

Merge patch series "riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION"

2023-07-01T14:38:19+00:00

Jisheng Zhang says: When trying to run linux with various opensource riscv core on resource limited FPGA platforms, for example, those FPGAs with less than 16MB SDRAM, I want to save mem as much as possible. One of the major technologies is kernel size optimizations, I found that riscv does not currently support HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which passes -fdata-sections, -ffunction-sections to CFLAGS and passes the --gc-sections flag to the linker. This not only benefits my case on FPGA but also benefits defconfigs. Here are some notable improvements from enabling this with defconfigs: nommu_k210_defconfig: text data bss dec hex 1112009 410288 59837 1582134 182436 before 962838 376656 51285 1390779 1538bb after rv32_defconfig: text data bss dec hex 8804455 2816544 290577 11911576 b5c198 before 8692295 2779872 288977 11761144 b375f8 after defconfig: text data bss dec hex 9438267 3391332 485333 13314932 cb2b74 before 9285914 3350052 483349 13119315 c82f53 after patch1 and patch2 are clean ups. patch3 fixes a typo. patch4 finally enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for riscv. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: disable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for LLD riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION vmlinux.lds.h: use correct .init.data.* section name riscv: vmlinux-xip.lds.S: remove .alternative section riscv: move options to keep entries sorted riscv: Fix orphan section warnings caused by kernel/pi Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230523165502.2592-1-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt

kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost

2023-06-22T12:17:10+00:00

Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S. For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL(). The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages. When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section. For example, EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE); will be encoded into the following assembly code: .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_foo: .asciz "" /* license */ .asciz "" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad foo /* symbol reference */ .previous .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_bar: .asciz "GPL" /* license */ .asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad bar /* symbol reference */ .previous They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script. Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the .export_symbol section, and generates the final C code: KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", ""); KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE"); KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module. With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S files, providing the following benefits. [1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file. arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner. Commit 22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation. Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition in *.S files. It was a nice improvement. However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() for data objects on some architectures. In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not), and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly. There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL: EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S) EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S) They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", ""); KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", ""); The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as KSYMTAB_FUNC(). EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated. [2] merge and There are two similar header implementations: include/linux/export.h for .c files include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they tend to diverge. Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did not support the namespace for *.S files. This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files. and will remain as a wrapper of for a while. They will be removed after #include directives are all replaced with #include . [3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit) When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers

x86/unwind/orc: Add ELF section with ORC version identifier

2023-06-16T15:17:42+00:00

Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel, it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change. It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table). Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script can be updated. This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the 20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding __start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux. 1: https://github.com/osandov/drgn 2: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/issues/303 Fixes: ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") Fixes: fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/aef9c8dc43915b886a8c48509a12ec1b006ca1ca.1686690801.git.osandov@osandov.com
