objtool/klp: Only enable --checksum when needed

2025-11-18T08:59:26+00:00

With CONFIG_KLP_BUILD enabled, checksums are only needed during a klp-build run. There's no need to enable them for normal kernel builds. This also has the benefit of softening the xxhash dependency.

livepatch/klp-build: Introduce klp-build script for generating livepatch modules

2025-10-14T21:50:19+00:00

Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps: - Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and -fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming. - Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same options. - Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate intermediate binary diff objects. - Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c). - Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage) using 'objtool klp post-link'.

kbuild,objtool: Defer objtool validation step for CONFIG_KLP_BUILD

2025-10-14T21:50:19+00:00

In preparation for klp-build, defer objtool validation for CONFIG_KLP_BUILD kernels until the final pre-link archive (e.g., vmlinux.o, module-foo.o) is built. This will simplify the process of generating livepatch modules. Delayed objtool is generally preferred anyway, and is already standard for IBT and LTO. Eventually the per-translation-unit mode will be phased out. Acked-by: Petr Mladek Tested-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

objtool: Rename --Werror to --werror

2025-10-14T21:46:48+00:00

The objtool --Werror option name is stylistically inconsistent: halfway between GCC's single-dash capitalized -Werror and objtool's double-dash --lowercase convention, making it unnecessarily hard to remember. Make the 'W' lower case (--werror) for consistency with objtool's other options. Acked-by: Petr Mladek Tested-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

kbuild: Remove 'kmod_' prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME

2025-10-14T21:45:22+00:00

In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, remove the arbitrary 'kmod_' prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME and instead add it explicitly in the __initcall_id() macro. This change supports the standardization of "unique" symbol naming by ensuring the non-unique portion of the name comes before the unique part. That will enable objtool to properly correlate symbols across builds. Cc: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Petr Mladek Tested-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

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.

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.
