kbuild: trace functions in subdirectories of lib/

2020-08-09T16:32:59+00:00

ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) exists here in sub-directories of lib/ to keep the behavior of commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions"). Since that commit, not only the objects in lib/ but also the ones in the sub-directories are excluded from ftrace (although the commit description did not explicitly mention this). However, most of library functions in sub-directories are not so hot. Re-add them to ftrace. Going forward, only the objects right under lib/ will be excluded.

kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y

2020-08-09T16:32:59+00:00

CFLAGS_REMOVE_.o filters out flags when compiling a particular object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in a directory. Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily. Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles. The add/remove order works as follows: [1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally [2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the current Makefile [3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the current Makefile (New feature) [4] CFLAGS_ adds compiler flags per file. [5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_ removes compiler flags per file. Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all) objects in the current Makefile. For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile. Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories. In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from all the sub-directories. The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories: arch/arm/boot/compressed/ arch/powerpc/xmon/ arch/sh/ kernel/trace/ However, lib/ has several sub-directories. To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles in subdirectories of lib/, except the following: lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions") excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y from the sub-directories of lib/.

selftests/livepatch: introduce tests

2019-01-11T19:51:24+00:00

Add a few livepatch modules and simple target modules that the included regression suite can run tests against: - basic livepatching (multiple patches, atomic replace) - pre/post (un)patch callbacks - shadow variable API Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek Tested-by: Miroslav Benes Tested-by: Alice Ferrazzi Acked-by: Joe Lawrence Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina
