kbuild: Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS to as-option invocation

2025-06-27T10:04:10+00:00

commit 43fc0a99906e04792786edf8534d8d58d1e9de0c upstream. After commit feb843a469fb ("kbuild: add $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS"), there is an error while building certain PowerPC assembly files with clang: arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S: Assembler messages: arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:34: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01000' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:35: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:37: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01000' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:38: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:40: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010' clang: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) as-option only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, so after removing CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_AFLAGS, there is no more '--target=' or '--prefix=' flags. As a result of those missing flags, the host target will be tested during as-option calls and likely fail, meaning necessary flags may not get added when building assembly files, resulting in errors like seen above. Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS to as-option invocations to clear up the errors. This should have been done in commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper flags and language target"), which switched from using the assembler target to the assembler-with-cpp target, so flags that affect preprocessing are passed along in all relevant tests. as-option now mirrors cc-option.

kbuild: Add CLANG_FLAGS to as-instr

2025-06-27T10:04:10+00:00

commit cff6e7f50bd315e5b39c4e46c704ac587ceb965f upstream. A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing. When that occurs, the following errors appear multiple times when building ARCH=powerpc powernv_defconfig: ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12d4): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717520 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__start___soft_mask_table' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12e8): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717392 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__stop___soft_mask_table' Diffing the .o.cmd files reveals that -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 is not present anymore, because as-instr only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, which will no longer contain '--target'. Mirror Kconfig's as-instr and add CLANG_FLAGS explicitly to the invocation to ensure the target information is always present.

kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper flags and language target

2025-06-27T10:04:10+00:00

commit d5c8d6e0fa61401a729e9eb6a9c7077b2d3aebb0 upstream. as-instr uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, but as-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. This can cause as-option to fail unexpectedly when CONFIG_WERROR is set, because clang will emit -Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument for various -m and -f flags in KBUILD_CFLAGS for assembler sources. Callers of as-option and as-instr should be adding flags to KBUILD_AFLAGS / aflags-y, not KBUILD_CFLAGS / cflags-y. Use KBUILD_AFLAGS in all macros to clear up the initial problem. Unfortunately, -Wunused-command-line-argument can still be triggered with clang by the presence of warning flags or macro definitions because '-x assembler' is used, instead of '-x assembler-with-cpp', which will consume these flags. Switch to '-x assembler-with-cpp' in places where '-x assembler' is used, as the compiler is always used as the driver for out of line assembler sources in the kernel. Finally, add -Werror to these macros so that they behave consistently whether or not CONFIG_WERROR is set.

kbuild: fix argument parsing in scripts/config

2025-06-04T12:37:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit f757f6011c92b5a01db742c39149bed9e526478f ] The script previously assumed --file was always the first argument, which caused issues when it appeared later. This patch updates the parsing logic to scan all arguments to find --file, sets the config file correctly, and resets the argument list with the remaining commands. It also fixes --refresh to respect --file by passing KCONFIG_CONFIG=$FN to make oldconfig. Signed-off-by: Seyediman Seyedarab Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kconfig: merge_config: use an empty file as initfile

2025-06-04T12:36:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit a26fe287eed112b4e21e854f173c8918a6a8596d ] The scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh script requires an existing $INITFILE (or the $1 argument) as a base file for merging Kconfig fragments. However, an empty $INITFILE can serve as an initial starting point, later referenced by the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG Makefile variable if -m is not used. This variable can point to any configuration file containing preset config symbols (the merged output) as stated in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.rst. When -m is used $INITFILE will contain just the merge output requiring the user to run make (i.e. KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=<$INITFILE> make or make olddefconfig). Instead of failing when `$INITFILE` is missing, create an empty file and use it as the starting point for merges.

selinux: Chain up tool resolving errors in install_policy.sh

2025-04-10T12:30:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6ae0042f4d3f331e841495eb0a3d51598e593ec2 ] Subshell evaluations are not exempt from errexit, so if a command is not available, `which` will fail and exit the script as a whole. This causes the helpful error messages to not be printed if they are tacked on using a `$?` comparison. Resolve the issue by using chains of logical operators, which are not subject to the effects of errexit.

kbuild: Move -Wenum-enum-conversion to W=2

2025-03-13T11:47:10+00:00

commit 8f6629c004b193d23612641c3607e785819e97ab upstream. -Wenum-enum-conversion was strengthened in clang-19 to warn for C, which caused the kernel to move it to W=1 in commit 75b5ab134bb5 ("kbuild: Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1") because there were numerous instances that would break builds with -Werror. Unfortunately, this is not a full solution, as more and more developers, subsystems, and distributors are building with W=1 as well, so they continue to see the numerous instances of this warning. Since the move to W=1, there have not been many new instances that have appeared through various build reports and the ones that have appeared seem to be following similar existing patterns, suggesting that most instances of this warning will not be real issues. The only alternatives for silencing this warning are adding casts (which is generally seen as an ugly practice) or refactoring the enums to macro defines or a unified enum (which may be undesirable because of type safety in other parts of the code). Move the warning to W=2, where warnings that occur frequently but may be relevant should reside.

genksyms: fix memory leak when the same symbol is read from *.symref file

2025-03-13T11:46:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit be2fa44b5180a1f021efb40c55fdf63c249c3209 ] When a symbol that is already registered is read again from *.symref file, __add_symbol() removes the previous one from the hash table without freeing it. [Test Case] $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); $ cat foo.symref foo void foo ( void ) foo void foo ( void ) When a symbol is removed from the hash table, it must be freed along with its ->name and ->defn members. However, sym->name cannot be freed because it is sometimes shared with node->string, but not always. If sym->name and node->string share the same memory, free(sym->name) could lead to a double-free bug. To resolve this issue, always assign a strdup'ed string to sym->name.

genksyms: fix memory leak when the same symbol is added from source

2025-03-13T11:46:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 45c9c4101d3d2fdfa00852274bbebba65fcc3cf2 ] When a symbol that is already registered is added again, __add_symbol() returns without freeing the symbol definition, making it unreachable. The following test cases demonstrate different memory leak points. [Test Case 1] Forward declaration with exactly the same definition $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); [Test Case 2] Forward declaration with a different definition (e.g. attribute) $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); __attribute__((__section__(".ref.text"))) void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); [Test Case 3] Preserving an overridden symbol (compile with KBUILD_PRESERVE=1) $ cat foo.c #include void foo(void); void foo(void) { } EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); $ cat foo.symref override foo void foo ( int ) The memory leaks in Test Case 1 and 2 have existed since the introduction of genksyms into the kernel tree. [1] The memory leak in Test Case 3 was introduced by commit 5dae9a550a74 ("genksyms: allow to ignore symbol checksum changes"). When multiple init_declarators are reduced to an init_declarator_list, the decl_spec must be duplicated. Otherwise, the following Test Case 4 would result in a double-free bug. [Test Case 4] $ cat foo.c #include extern int foo, bar; int foo, bar; EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); In this case, 'foo' and 'bar' share the same decl_spec, 'int'. It must be unshared before being passed to add_symbol().

scripts/sorttable: fix orc_sort_cmp() to maintain symmetry and transitivity

2025-02-01T17:22:21+00:00

commit 0210d251162f4033350a94a43f95b1c39ec84a90 upstream. The orc_sort_cmp() function, used with qsort(), previously violated the symmetry and transitivity rules required by the C standard. Specifically, when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, it could result in both a < b and b < a, which breaks the required symmetry and transitivity. This can lead to undefined behavior and incorrect sorting results, potentially causing memory corruption in glibc implementations [1]. Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x. Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z. Fix the comparison logic to return 0 when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, ensuring compliance with qsort() requirements.
