2023-07-24linux/export.h: make <linux/export.h> independent of CONFIG_MODULESMasahiro Yamada1-0/+1
Currently, all files with EXPORT_SYMBOL() are rebuilt when CONFIG_MODULES is flipped due to <linux/export.h> depending on CONFIG_MODULES. Now that modpost can make a final decision about export symbols, <linux/export.h> does not need to make EXPORT_SYMBOL() no-op. Instead, modpost can skip emitting KSYMTAB when CONFIG_MODULES is unset. This commit will reduce the number of recompilation when CONFIG_MODULES is toggled. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-06-22kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursionMasahiro Yamada1-0/+7
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits: - 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option") - a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding") We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules. Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules, modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB only for symbols with sym->used==true. BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/ Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain reaction of trimming comes into play because: - CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols - CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux, but not modules If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess that is unlikely to happen.

2023-06-07modpost: propagate W=1 build option to modpostMasahiro Yamada1-0/+1
"No build warning" is a strong requirement these days, so you must fix all issues before enabling a new warning flag. We often add a new warning to W=1 first so that the kbuild test robot blocks new breakages. This commit allows modpost to show extra warnings only when W=1 (or KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN=1) is given.

2023-02-05kbuild: do not automatically add -w option to modpostMasahiro Yamada1-5/+3
When there is a missing input file (vmlinux.o or Module.symvers), you are likely to get a ton of unresolved symbols. Currently, Kbuild automatically adds the -w option to allow module builds to continue with warnings instead of errors. This may not be what the user expects because it is generally more useful to catch all possible issues at build time instead of at run time. Let's not do what the user did not ask. If you still want to build modules anyway, you can proceed by explicitly setting KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1. Since you may miss a real issue, you need to be aware of what you are doing.

2023-01-05kbuild: readd -w option when vmlinux.o or Module.symver is missingMasahiro Yamada1-4/+5
Commit 63ffe00d8c93 ("kbuild: Fix running modpost with musl libc") accidentally turned the unresolved symbol warnings into errors when vmlinux.o (for in-tree builds) or Module.symver (for external module builds) is missing. In those cases, unresolved symbols are expected, but the -w option is not set because 'missing-input' is referenced before set. Move $(missing-input) back to the original place. This should be fine for musl libc because vmlinux.o and -w are not added at the same time. With this change, -w may be passed twice, but it is not a big deal.

commit 3d57e1b7b1d4 ("kbuild: refactor the prerequisites of the modpost rule") moved 'vmlinux.o' inside modpost-args, possibly before some of the other options. However, getopt() in musl libc follows POSIX and stops looking for options upon reaching the first non-option argument. As a result, the '-T' option is misinterpreted as a positional argument, and the build fails: make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost scripts/mod/modpost -E -o Module.symvers vmlinux.o -T modules.order -T: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:137: Module.symvers] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:1960: modpost] Error 2 The fix is to move all options before 'vmlinux.o' in modpost-args.

2022-10-02kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the headMasahiro Yamada1-3/+2
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments: - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place them before other archives in the linker command line. - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a. This commit gets rid of the latter. Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'. With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y for builtin objects. There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py. $(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug.

2022-05-29kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBTMasahiro Yamada1-7/+2
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted to ELF. CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until objects are merged together. This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look similar with/without LTO. The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and how this commit is changing it. Current build flow ================== [1] single-object module $(LD) $(CC) +objtool $(LD) foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko (LLVM IR) (ELF) | (ELF) | foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) [2] multi-object module $(LD) $(CC) $(AR) +objtool $(LD) foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko | (archive) (ELF) | (ELF) foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/ | (LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive despite of its suffix. New build flow ============== [1] single-object module Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR. Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule.

2021-09-03kbuild: Fix TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS with LTO_CLANGSami Tolvanen1-19/+3
With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, we currently link modules into native code just before modpost, which means with TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS enabled, we still look at the LLVM bitcode in the .o files when generating the list of used symbols. As the bitcode doesn't yet have calls to compiler intrinsics and llvm-nm doesn't see function references that only exist in function-level inline assembly, we currently need a whitelist for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS to work with LTO. This change moves module LTO linking to happen earlier, and thus avoids the issue with LLVM bitcode and TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS entirely, allowing us to also drop the whitelist from gen_autoksyms.sh.

2021-04-24kbuild: fix false-positive modpost warning when all symbols are trimmedMasahiro Yamada1-2/+5
Nathan reports that the mips defconfig emits the following warning: WARNING: modpost: Symbol info of vmlinux is missing. Unresolved symbol check will be entirely skipped. This false-positive happens when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, but no CONFIG option is set to 'm'. Commit a0590473c5e6 ("nfs: fix PNFS_FLEXFILE_LAYOUT Kconfig default") turned the last 'm' into 'y' for the mips defconfig, and uncovered this issue. In this case, the module feature itself is enabled, but we have no module to build. As a result, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS drops all the instances of EXPORT_SYMBOL. Then, modpost wrongly assumes vmlinux is missing because vmlinux.symvers is empty. (As another false-positive case, you can create a module that does not use any symbol of vmlinux). The current behavior is to entirely suppress the unresolved symbol warnings when vmlinux is missing just because there are too many. I found the origin of this code in the historical git tree. [1] If this is a matter of noisiness, I think modpost can display the first 10 warnings, and the number of suppressed warnings at the end. You will get a bit noisier logs when you run 'make modules' without vmlinux, but such warnings are better to show because you never know the resulting modules are actually loadable or not. This commit changes the following: - If any of input *.symver files is missing, pass -w option to let the module build keep going with warnings instead of errors. - If there are too many (10+) unresolved symbol warnings, show only the first 10, and also the number of suppressed warnings.

2021-04-24kbuild: generate Module.symvers only when vmlinux existsMasahiro Yamada1-1/+14
The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers is missing in the kernel tree. WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing. Modules may not have dependencies or modversions. I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups for external modules by 'make defconfig && make modules_preapre'. A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers already exists in spite of its incomplete content. The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created. This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist. Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.

2021-01-14kbuild: add support for Clang LTOSami Tolvanen1-2/+19
This change adds build system support for Clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO). With -flto, instead of ELF object files, Clang produces LLVM bitcode, which is compiled into native code at link time, allowing the final binary to be optimized globally. For more details, see: https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html The Kconfig option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is implemented as a choice, which defaults to LTO being disabled. To use LTO, the architecture must select ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG and support: - compiling with Clang, - compiling all assembly code with Clang's integrated assembler, - and linking with LLD. While using CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL results in the best runtime performance, the compilation is not scalable in time or memory. CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN enables ThinLTO, which allows parallel optimization and faster incremental builds. ThinLTO is used by default if the architecture also selects ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG_THIN: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThinLTO.html To enable LTO, LLVM tools must be used to handle bitcode files, by passing LLVM=1 and LLVM_IAS=1 options to make: $ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig $ scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN $ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 To prepare for LTO support with other compilers, common parts are gated behind the CONFIG_LTO option, and LTO can be disabled for specific files by filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO.

2020-06-06modpost: generate vmlinux.symvers and reuse it for the second modpostMasahiro Yamada1-3/+4
The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for modules. The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file, presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols. Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object. Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second pass. A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file, vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files. The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same way as before. This makes further modpost cleanups possible. Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols. I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be generated.

The representation of $(MAKEFLAGS) depends on various factors: - GNU Make version (version 3.8x or version 4.x) - The presence of other flags like -j In my experiments, $(MAKEFLAGS) is expanded as follows: * GNU Make 3.8x: * without -j option: --no-print-directory -Rri * with -j option: --no-print-directory -Rr --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j -i * GNU Make 4.x: * without -j option: irR --no-print-directory * with -j option: irR -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory For GNU Make 4.x, the flags are grouped as 'irR', which does not work. For the single thread build with GNU Make 3.8x, the flags are grouped as '-Rri', which does not work either. To make it work for all cases, do likewise as commit 6f0fa58e4596 ("kbuild: simplify silent build (-s) detection"). BTW, since commit ff9b45c55b26 ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), you also need to pass -k option to build final *.ko files. 'make -i -k' ignores compile errors in modules, and build as many remaining *.ko as possible. Please note this feature is kind of dangerous if other modules depend on the broken module because the generated modules will lack the correct module dependency or CRC. Honestly, I am not a big fan of it, but I am keeping this feature.

2020-05-28kbuild: disallow multi-word in M= or KBUILD_EXTMODMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
$(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit 3f3fd3c05585 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost") to build multiple external module directories. It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external module depends on another external module. Commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support. include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \ $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile) ... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words. This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words. As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends on another one, there are two solutions: - add a common top-level Kbuild file - use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-03-13modpost: return error if module is missing ns imports and ↵Jessica Yu1-7/+8
MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n Currently when CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n, modpost only warns when a module is missing namespace imports. Under this configuration, such a module cannot be loaded into the kernel anyway, as the module loader would reject it. We might as well return a build error when a module is missing namespace imports under CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n, so that the build warning does not go ignored/unnoticed.

2019-11-11scripts/nsdeps: support nsdeps for external module buildsMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
scripts/nsdeps is written to take care of only in-tree modules. Perhaps, this is not a bug, but just a design. At least, Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst focuses on in-tree modules. Having said that, some people already tried nsdeps for external modules. So, it would be nice to support it.

2019-11-11modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps fileMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps files. Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information. This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel when the -j option is given. On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread. I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files. This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file, modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format: <module_name>: <list of missing namespaces> Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones. So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good. This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.

2019-11-11modpost: do not invoke extra modpost for nsdepsMasahiro Yamada1-5/+3
'make nsdeps' invokes the modpost three times at most; before linking vmlinux, before building modules, and finally for generating .ns_deps files. Running the modpost again and again is not efficient. The last two can be unified. When the -d option is given, the modpost still does the usual job, and in addition, generates .ns_deps files.

2019-11-11kbuild: do not read $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Module.symversMasahiro Yamada1-1/+0
Since commit 040fcc819a2e ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules"), the external module build reads Module.symvers in the directory of the module itself, then dumps symbols back into it. It accumulates stale symbols in the file when you build an external module incrementally. The idea behind it was, as the commit log explained, you can copy Modules.symvers from one module to another when you need to pass symbol information between two modules. However, the manual copy of the file sounds questionable to me, and containing stale symbols is a downside. Some time later, commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced a saner approach. So, this commit removes the former one. Going forward, the external module build dumps symbols into Module.symvers to be carried via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, but never reads it automatically. With the -I option removed, there is no one to set the external_module flag unless KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is passed. Now the -i option does it instead.

2019-11-11modpost: do not parse vmlinux for external module buildsMasahiro Yamada1-3/+5
When building external modules, $(objtree)/Module.symvers is scanned for symbol information of vmlinux and in-tree modules. Additionally, vmlinux is parsed if it exists in $(objtree)/. This is totally redundant since all the necessary information is contained in $(objtree)/Module.symvers. Do not parse vmlinux at all for external module builds. This makes sense because vmlinux is deleted by 'make clean'. 'make clean' leaves all the build artifacts for building external modules. vmlinux is unneeded for that.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7) and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface. Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized the feature and its main motivations in the tag below. Summary: - Introduce exported symbol namespaces. This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module authors are now required to import the namespaces they need. Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst. - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there" * tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux: module: Remove leftover '#undef' from export header module: remove unneeded casts in cmp_name() module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES module: remove redundant 'depends on MODULES' module: Fix link failure due to invalid relocation on namespace offset usb-storage: export symbols in USB_STORAGE namespace usb-storage: remove single-use define for debugging docs: Add documentation for Symbol Namespaces scripts: Coccinelle script for namespace dependencies. modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies export: allow definition default namespaces in Makefiles or sources module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS modpost: add support for symbol namespaces module: add support for symbol namespaces. export: explicitly align struct kernel_symbol module: support reading multiple values per modinfo tag
2019-09-10scripts: Coccinelle script for namespace dependencies.Matthias Maennich1-1/+3
A script that uses the '<module>.ns_deps' files generated by modpost to automatically add the required symbol namespace dependencies to each module. Usage: 1) Move some symbols to a namespace with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() or define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE 2) Run 'make' (or 'make modules') and get warnings about modules not importing that namespace. 3) Run 'make nsdeps' to automatically add required import statements to said modules. This makes it easer for subsystem maintainers to introduce and maintain symbol namespaces into their codebase.
