kcov: rust: add flags for KCOV with Rust

2025-06-01T05:46:12+00:00

Rust code is currently not instrumented properly when KCOV is enabled. Thus, add the relevant flags to perform instrumentation correctly. This is necessary for efficient fuzzing of Rust code. The sanitizer-coverage features of LLVM have existed for long enough that they are available on any LLVM version supported by rustc, so we do not need any Kconfig feature detection. The coverage level is set to 3, as that is the level needed by trace-pc. We do not instrument `core` since when we fuzz the kernel, we are looking for bugs in the kernel, not the Rust stdlib.

kbuild: move kbuild syntax processing to scripts/Makefile.build

scripts/Makefile.lib is included by the following Makefiles: scripts/Makefile.build scripts/Makefile.modfinal scripts/Makefile.package scripts/Makefile.vmlinux scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o However, the last four do not need to process Kbuild syntax such as obj-*, lib-*, subdir-*, etc. Move the relevant code to scripts/Makefile.build.

gcc-plugins: Force full rebuild when plugins change

2025-05-08T16:42:06+00:00

There was no dependency between the plugins changing and the rest of the kernel being built. This could cause strange behaviors as instrumentation could vary between targets depending on when they were built. Generate a new header file, gcc-plugins.h, any time the GCC plugins change. Include the header file in compiler-version.h when its associated feature name, GCC_PLUGINS, is defined. This will be picked up by fixdep and force rebuilds where needed. Add a generic "touch" kbuild command, which will be used again in a following patch. Add a "normalize_path" string helper to make the "TOUCH" output less ugly.

objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings, part 2

2025-04-01T07:07:12+00:00

Similar to GCOV, KCOV can leave behind dead code and undefined behavior. Warnings related to those should be ignored. The previous commit: 6b023c784204 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings") ... only did so for CONFIG_CGOV_KERNEL. Also do it for CONFIG_KCOV, but for real this time. Fixes the following warning: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: synaptics_report_mt_data: unexpected end of section .text.synaptics_report_mt_data Fixes: 6b023c784204 ("objtool: Silence more KCOV warnings") Reported-by: kernel test robot Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Linus Torvalds Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/a44ba16e194bcbc52c1cef3d3cd9051a62622723.1743481539.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202503282236.UhfRsF3B-lkp@intel.com/

objtool: Reduce CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR verbosity

2025-03-25T08:20:27+00:00

Remove the following from CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR: * backtrace * "upgraded warnings to errors" message * cmdline args This makes the default output less cluttered and makes it easier to spot the actual warnings. Note the above options are still are available with --verbose or OBJTOOL_VERBOSE=1. Also, do the cmdline arg printing on all warnings, regardless of werror.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR. While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on !COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'. While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it explicitly should see it.

objtool: Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR

2025-03-17T10:51:44+00:00

Objtool warnings can be indicative of crashes, broken live patching, or even boot failures. Ignoring them is not recommended. Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR to upgrade objtool warnings to errors by enabling the objtool --Werror option. Also set --backtrace to print the branches leading up to the warning, which can help considerably when debugging certain warnings. To avoid breaking bots too badly for now, make it the default for real world builds only (!COMPILE_TEST).
