tools build: Provide consistent build options for fixdep

2024-08-15T21:08:17+00:00

The fixdep binary is being compiled and linked in one step. While the host linker flags are passed to the compiler the host compiler flags are missed. That leads to build errors at least on x86_64, arm64 and s390 as result of the compiler vs linker flags inconsistency. For example, during RPM package build redhat-hardened-ld script is provided to gcc, while redhat-hardened-cc1 script is missed. Provide both KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS and KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS to avoid that.

tools build: Avoid circular .fixdep-in.o.cmd issues

2024-08-05T15:09:14+00:00

The 'fixdep' tool is used to post-process dependency files for various reasons, and it runs after every object file generation command. This even includes 'fixdep' itself. In Kbuild, this isn't actually a problem, because it uses a single command to generate fixdep (a compile-and-link command on fixdep.c), and afterward runs the fixdep command on the accompanying .fixdep.cmd file. In tools/ builds (which notably is maintained separately from Kbuild), fixdep is generated in several phases: 1. fixdep.c -> fixdep-in.o 2. fixdep-in.o -> fixdep Thus, fixdep is not available in the post-processing for step 1, and instead, we generate .cmd files that look like: ## from tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd # cannot find fixdep (/path/to/linux/tools/objtool/libsubcmd//fixdep) [...] These invalid .cmd files are benign in some respects, but cause problems in others (such as the linked reports). Because the tools/ build system is rather complicated in its own right (and pointedly different than Kbuild), I choose to simply open-code the rule for building fixdep, and avoid the recursive-make indirection that produces the problem in the first place.

kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)

2022-02-15T03:25:56+00:00

$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the code in some places. Covert as follows: $(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B) This patch also converts: $(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B) Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B) expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A". Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

tools build: Fix feature detect clean for out of source builds

2021-09-01T14:26:01+00:00

Currently the clean target when using O= isn't cleaning the feature detect output. This is because O= and OUTPUT= are set to canonical paths. For example in tools/perf/Makefile: FULL_O := $(shell cd $(PWD); readlink -f $(O) || echo $(O)) This means that OUTPUT ends in a / and most usages prepend it to a file without adding an extra /. This line that was changed adds an extra / before the 'feature' folder but not to the end, resulting in a clean command like this: rm -f /tmp/build//featuretest-all.bin ... After the change the clean command looks like this: rm -f /tmp/build/feature/test-all.bin ...

perf build: Move feature cleanup under tools/build

2021-03-06T19:54:24+00:00

Arnaldo reported issue for following build command: $ rm -rf /tmp/krava; mkdir /tmp/krava; make O=/tmp/krava clean CLEAN config /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/krava/feature/: No such file or directory ../../scripts/Makefile.include:17: *** output directory "/tmp/krava/feature/" does not exist. Stop. make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:1010: config-clean] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:90: clean] Error 2 The problem is that now that we include scripts/Makefile.include in feature's Makefile (which is fine and needed), we need to ensure the OUTPUT directory exists, before executing (out of tree) clean command. Removing the feature's cleanup from perf Makefile and fixing feature's cleanup under build Makefile, so it now checks that there's existing OUTPUT directory before calling the clean.

tools, bpf/build: Cleanup feature files on make clean

2020-08-28T12:04:27+00:00

The system for "Auto-detecting system features" located under tools/build/ are (currently) used by perf, libbpf and bpftool. It can contain stalled feature detection files, which are not cleaned up by libbpf and bpftool on make clean (side-note: perf tool is correct). Fix this by making the users invoke the make clean target. Some details about the changes. The libbpf Makefile already had a clean-config target (which seems to be copy-pasted from perf), but this target was not "connected" (a make dependency) to clean target. Choose not to rename target as someone might be using it. Did change the output from "CLEAN config" to "CLEAN feature-detect", to make it more clear what happens.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
