tracing: Add warnings for unused tracepoints for modules

2025-10-24T20:43:15+00:00

If a modules has TRACE_EVENT() but does not use it, add a warning about it at build time. Currently, the build must be made by adding "UT=1" to the make command line in order for this to trigger.

kbuild: re-enable KCSAN for autogenerated *.mod.c intermediaries

2024-11-27T23:11:55+00:00

This reverts commit 54babdc0343f ("kbuild: Disable KCSAN for autogenerated *.mod.c intermediaries"). Now that objtool is enabled for *.mod.c, there is no need to filter out CFLAGS_KCSAN. I no longer see "Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!" error with KCSAN when loading a module. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: enable objtool for *.mod.o and additional kernel objects

2024-11-27T23:11:55+00:00

Currently, objtool is disabled in scripts/Makefile.{modfinal,vmlinux}. This commit moves rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S to scripts/Makefile.lib and set objtool-enabled to y there. With this change, *.mod.o, .module-common.o, builtin-dtb.o, and vmlinux.export.o will now be covered by objtool. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: move cmd_cc_o_c and cmd_as_o_S to scripts/Malefile.lib

2024-11-27T23:11:55+00:00

The cmd_cc_o_c and cmd_as_o_S macros are duplicated in scripts/Makefile.{build,modfinal,vmlinux}. This commit factors them out to scripts/Makefile.lib. No functional changes are intended. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove extmod_prefix, MODORDER, MODULES_NSDEPS variables

2024-11-27T23:11:55+00:00

With the previous changes, $(extmod_prefix), $(MODORDER), and $(MODULES_NSDEPS) are constant. (empty, modules.order, and modules.nsdeps, respectively). Remove these variables and hard-code their values. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

kbuild: add $(objtree)/ prefix to some in-kernel build artifacts

2024-11-27T00:38:27+00:00

$(objtree) refers to the top of the output directory of kernel builds. This commit adds the explicit $(objtree)/ prefix to build artifacts needed for building external modules. This change has no immediate impact, as the top-level Makefile currently defines: objtree := . This commit prepares for supporting the building of external modules in a different directory.

kbuild: remove append operation on cmd_ld_ko_o

2024-09-20T00:21:53+00:00

The append operation was introduced in commit b1a1a1a09b46 ("kbuild: lto: postpone objtool") when the command was created from two parts. In commit 850ded46c642 ("kbuild: Fix TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS with LTO_CLANG") however the first part was removed again, making the append operation unnecessary. To keep this command definition aligned with all other command definitions, remove the append again. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: compile constant module information only once

2024-09-07T08:24:08+00:00

Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections. For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module and then linked into the module. However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all modules, internal and external. Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is compiled once and then linked into all modules. This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING. The modules are still relinked in this case. The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file instead of an inline string literal.

kbuild: fix typos "prequisites" to "prerequisites"

2024-08-22T17:41:02+00:00

This typo in scripts/Makefile.build has been present for more than 20 years. It was accidentally copy-pasted to other scripts/Makefile.* files. Fix them all. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor

kbuild,bpf: Add module-specific pahole flags for distilled base BTF

2024-06-21T21:45:07+00:00

Support creation of module BTF along with distilled base BTF; the latter is stored in a .BTF.base ELF section and supplements split BTF references to base BTF with information about base types, allowing for later relocation of split BTF with a (possibly changed) base. resolve_btfids detects the presence of a .BTF.base section and will use it instead of the base BTF it is passed in BTF id resolution. Modules will be built with a distilled .BTF.base section for external module build, i.e. make -C. -M=path2/module ...while in-tree module build as part of a normal kernel build will not generate distilled base BTF; this is because in-tree modules change with the kernel and do not require BTF relocation for the running vmlinux.
