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

livepatch/klp-build: Add --show-first-changed option to show function divergence Add a --show-first-changed option to identify where changed functions begin to diverge: - Parse 'objtool klp diff' output to find changed functions. - Run objtool again on each object with --debug-checksum=<funcs>. - Diff the per-instruction checksum debug output to locate the first differing instruction. This can be useful for quickly determining where and why a function changed.

livepatch/klp-build: Require Clang assembler >= 20 Some special sections specify their ELF section entsize, for example: .pushsection section, "M", @progbits, 8 The entsize (8 in this example) is needed by objtool klp-diff for extracting individual entries. Clang assembler versions older than 20 silently ignore the above construct and set entsize to 0, resulting in the following error: .discard.annotate_data: missing special section entsize or annotations Add a klp-build check to prevent the use of Clang assembler versions prior to 20.

livepatch/klp-build: Add --show-first-changed option to show function divergence Add a --show-first-changed option to identify where changed functions begin to diverge: - Parse 'objtool klp diff' output to find changed functions. - Run objtool again on each object with --debug-checksum=<funcs>. - Diff the per-instruction checksum debug output to locate the first differing instruction. This can be useful for quickly determining where and why a function changed.

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

livepatch/klp-build: Fix klp-build vs CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL When building a patch to a single-file kernel module with CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL enabled, the klp-build module link fails in modpost: Diffing objects drivers/md/raid0.o: changed function: raid0_run Building patch module: livepatch-0001-patch-raid0_run.ko drivers/md/raid0.c: No such file or directory ... The problem here is that klp-build copied drivers/md/.raid0.o.cmd to the module build directory, but it didn't also copy over the input source file listed in the .cmd file: source_drivers/md/raid0.o := drivers/md/raid0.c So modpost dies due to the missing .c file which is needed for calculating checksums for CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL. Instead of copying the original .cmd file, just create an empty one. Modpost only requires that it exists. The original object's build dependencies are irrelevant for the frankenobjects used by klp-build.
