Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

kbuild: clean up modpost.c akpm complained about overly long lines in modpost.c and when started additional style issues were fixed: o Updated my copyright o Removed unneeded {} o Drop assignments in if () o Spaces around operators o Break long lines o locate * near variable not type o Fix a format specifier for sizeof() o Corrected placement of '{' and '}' o spaces to tabs (but use tabs only for indention) modpost.c is not checkpatch clean. Readability were favoured on top of checkpatch compliance. But checkpatch were used to find additional stuff to clean up. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost file This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

modpost: get the *.mod file path more simply get_src_version() strips 'o' or 'lto.o' from the end of the object file path (so, postfixlen is 1 or 5), then adds 'mod'. If you look at the code closely, mod->name already holds the base path with the extension stripped. Most of the code changes made by commit 7ac204b545f2 ("modpost: lto: strip .lto from module names") was actually unneeded. sumversion.c does not need strends(), so it can get back local in modpost.c again.

modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build fails Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added support for building a large number of modules. Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost error if a single file failed to build. Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k: fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored) This error is followed by lots of errors such as: m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored) This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors. Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult to find the real errors in the build. Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files. With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i): m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored) ... fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory (ignored) Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in .tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code. This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c. A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs, showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key" symbol in the kallsyms data).

modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits removed unused ones. - f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE") - 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know how it was exported". If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an exported symbol. It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined: int __ksymtab_foo; Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either). Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case. With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL). I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true. Only GPL-compatible modules can use it. I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

modpost: refactor error handling and clarify error/fatal difference We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:"). In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general because we should display as many error messages as possible in a single run of modpost. What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix all errors. But, unfortunately, people tend to do: "This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()." One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error code to the main() function. This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically makes modpost return the error code. I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal(). Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so. For example: - Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed) - The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing - Something really odd has happened For general coding errors, please use error().

kbuild: fix false-positive modpost warning when all symbols are trimmed 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.

kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpost Some of modpost's warnings are fatal, and some are not. Adopt the compiler distinction between errors and warnings by calling merror() for fatal diagnostics and warn() for non-fatal ones. merror() was used as replacemtn for error() to avoid clash with glibc Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

modpost: rework and consolidate logging interface Rework modpost's logging interface by consolidating merror(), warn(), and fatal() to use a single function, modpost_log(). Introduce different logging levels (WARN, ERROR, FATAL) as well. The purpose of this cleanup is to reduce code duplication when deciding whether or not to warn or error out based on a condition.

modpost: refactor error handling and clarify error/fatal difference We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:"). In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general because we should display as many error messages as possible in a single run of modpost. What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix all errors. But, unfortunately, people tend to do: "This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()." One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error code to the main() function. This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically makes modpost return the error code. I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal(). Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so. For example: - Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed) - The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing - Something really odd has happened For general coding errors, please use error().

modpost: get the *.mod file path more simply get_src_version() strips 'o' or 'lto.o' from the end of the object file path (so, postfixlen is 1 or 5), then adds 'mod'. If you look at the code closely, mod->name already holds the base path with the extension stripped. Most of the code changes made by commit 7ac204b545f2 ("modpost: lto: strip .lto from module names") was actually unneeded. sumversion.c does not need strends(), so it can get back local in modpost.c again.

modpost: change mod->gpl_compatible to bool type Currently, mod->gpl_compatible is tristate; it is set to -1 by default, then to 1 or 0 when MODULE_LICENSE() is found. Maybe, -1 was chosen to represent the 'unknown' license, but it is not useful. The current code: if (!mod->gpl_compatible) check_for_gpl_usage(exp->export, basename, exp->name); ... only cares whether gpl_compatible is zero or not. Change it to a bool type with the initial value 'true', which has no functional change. The default value should be 'true' instead of 'false'. Since commit 1d6cd3929360 ("modpost: turn missing MODULE_LICENSE() into error"), unknown module license is an error. The error message, "missing MODULE_LICENSE()" is enough to explain the issue. It is not sensible to show another message, "GPL-incompatible module ... uses GPL-only symbol". Add comments to explain this. While I was here, I renamed gpl_compatible to is_gpl_compatible for clarification, and also slightly refactored the code.

modpost: fix broken sym->namespace for external module builds Currently, external module builds produce tons of false-positives: WARNING: module <mod> uses symbol <sym> from namespace <ns>, but does not import it. Here, the <ns> part shows a random string. When you build external modules, the symbol info of vmlinux and in-kernel modules are read from $(objtree)/Module.symvers, but read_dump() is buggy in multiple ways: [1] When the modpost is run for vmlinux and in-kernel modules, sym_extract_namespace() allocates memory for the namespace. On the other hand, read_dump() does not, then sym->namespace will point to somewhere in the line buffer of get_next_line(). The data in the buffer will be replaced soon, and sym->namespace will end up with pointing to unrelated data. As a result, check_exports() will show random strings in the warning messages. [2] When there is no namespace, sym_extract_namespace() returns NULL. On the other hand, read_dump() sets namespace to an empty string "". (but, it will be later replaced with unrelated data due to bug [1].) The check_exports() shows a warning unless exp->namespace is NULL, so every symbol read from read_dump() emits the warning, which is mostly false positive. To address [1], sym_add_exported() calls strdup() for s->namespace. The namespace from sym_extract_namespace() must be freed to avoid memory leak. For [2], I changed the if-conditional in check_exports(). This commit also fixes sym_add_exported() to set s->namespace correctly when the symbol is preloaded.

modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits removed unused ones. - f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE") - 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know how it was exported". If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an exported symbol. It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined: int __ksymtab_foo; Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either). Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case. With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL). I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true. Only GPL-compatible modules can use it. I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

modpost,fixdep: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script instead of modpost The 'static' specifier and EXPORT_SYMBOL() are an odd combination. Commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions") tried to detect it, but this check has false negatives. Here is the sample code. Makefile: obj-y += foo1.o foo2.o foo1.c: #include <linux/export.h> static void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); foo2.c: void foo(void) {} foo1.c exports the static symbol 'foo', but modpost cannot catch it because it is fooled by foo2.c, which has a global symbol with the same name. s->is_static is cleared if a global symbol with the same name is found somewhere, but EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the global symbol do not necessarily belong to the same compilation unit. This check should be done per compilation unit, but I do not know how to do it in modpost. modpost runs against vmlinux.o or modules, which merges multiple objects, then forgets their origin. modpost cannot parse individual objects because they may not be ELF but LLVM IR when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y. Add a simple bash script to parse the output from ${NM}. This works for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because llvm-nm can dump symbols of LLVM IR files. Revert 15bfc2348d54.

The segmentation fault occurs when section_rel() is called for vmlinux, which is untested in regular builds. The cause of the problem is reloc_location() returning a wrong pointer for ET_EXEC object type. In this case, you need to subtract sechdr->sh_addr, otherwise it would get access beyond the mmap'ed memory. Add sym_get_data_by_offset() helper to avoid code duplication.

modpost: Get proper section index by get_secindex() instead of st_shndx (uint16_t) st_shndx is limited to 65535(i.e. SHN_XINDEX) so sym_get_data() gets wrong section index by st_shndx if requested symbol contains extended section index that is more than 65535.

modpost: rename merror() to error() The log function names, warn(), merror(), fatal() are inconsistent. Commit 2a11665945d5 ("kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpost") intentionally chose merror() to avoid the conflict with the library function error(). See man page of error(3). But, we are already causing the conflict with warn() because it is also a library function. See man page of warn(3). err() would be a problem for the same reason. The common technique to work around name conflicts is to use macros. For example: /* in a header */ #define error(fmt, ...) __error(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__) #define warn(fmt, ...) __warn(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__) /* function definition */ void __error(const char *fmt, ...) { <our implementation> } void __warn(const char *fmt, ...) { <our implementation> } In this way, we can implement our own warn() and error(), still we can include <error.h> and <err.h> with no problem. And, commit 93c95e526a4e ("modpost: rework and consolidate logging interface") already did that. Since the log functions are all macros, we can use error() without causing "conflicting types" errors.

modpost: remove annoying namespace_from_kstrtabns() There are two call sites for sym_update_namespace(). When the symbol has no namespace, s->namespace is set to NULL, but the conversion from "" to NULL is done in two different places. [1] read_symbols() This gets the namespace from __kstrtabns_<symbol>. If the symbol has no namespace, sym_get_data(info, sym) returns the empty string "". namespace_from_kstrtabns() converts it to NULL before it is passed to sym_update_namespace(). [2] read_dump() This gets the namespace from the dump file, *.symvers. If the symbol has no namespace, the 'namespace' is the empty string "", which is directly passed into sym_update_namespace(). The conversion from "" to NULL is done in sym_update_namespace(). namespace_from_kstrtabns() exists only for creating this inconsistency. Remove namespace_from_kstrtabns() so that sym_update_namespace() is consistently passed with "" instead of NULL.

If the same symbol is exported multiple times and we let it keep going, the sanity check becomes difficult.

Also, there exists an upstream example that exploits this feature. $ make M=tools/testing/nvdimm ... builds tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko.

Current implementation ====================== |----------| embed CRC -------------------------->| final | $(CC) $(LD) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost | | vmlinux | / / | |-- *.mod.c -->| or | / genksyms / |---------| | module | *.c ------> *.symversions |----------| Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script (*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object. If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process is much more complex. Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o. However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must embed version CRCs in objects so early. There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last moment. New implementation ================== |----------| --------------------------------------->| final | $(CC) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o ---->| | | vmlinux | / | modpost |--- .vmlinux.export.c -->| or | / genksyms | |--- *.mod.c ------------>| module | *.c ------> *.cmd -->|---------| |----------| Pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data, which are available in *.cmd files.

kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain symbol information from a second external module when a external module is build. The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but that may be impractical in certain cases. With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available for another external module. Updated documentation in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build fails Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added support for building a large number of modules. Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost error if a single file failed to build. Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k: fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored) This error is followed by lots of errors such as: m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored) This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors. Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult to find the real errors in the build. Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files. With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i): m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored) ... fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory (ignored) Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

modpost: remove useless export_from_sec() With commit 1743694eb235 ("modpost: stop symbol preloading for modversion CRC") applied, now export_from_sec() is useless. handle_symbol() is called for every symbol in the ELF. When 'symname' does not start with "__ksymtab", export_from_sec() is called, and the returned value is stored in 'export'. It is used in the last part of handle_symbol(): if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")) { name = symname + strlen("__ksymtab_"); sym_add_exported(name, mod, export); } 'export' is used only when 'symname' starts with "__ksymtab_". So, the value returned by export_from_sec() is never used. Remove useless export_from_sec(). This makes further cleanups possible. I put the temporary code: export = export_unknown; Otherwise, I would get the compiler warning: warning: 'export' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] This is apparently false positive because if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_") ... is a stronger condition than: if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab") Anyway, this part will be cleaned up by the next commit.

powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against .TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value. This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined. Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2 would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated. mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

s390/nospec: add an option to use thunk-extern Currently with -mindirect-branch=thunk and -mfunction-return=thunk compiler options expoline thunks are put into individual COMDAT group sections. s390 is the only architecture which has group sections and it has implications for kpatch and objtool tools support. Using -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern is an alternative, which comes with a need to generate all required expoline thunks manually. Unfortunately modules area is too far away from the kernel image, and expolines from the kernel image cannon be used. But since all new distributions (except Debian) build kernels for machine generations newer than z10, where "exrl" instruction is available, that leaves only 16 expolines thunks possible. Provide an option to build the kernel with -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern for z10 or newer. This also requires to postlink expoline thunks into all modules explicitly. Currently modules already contain most expolines anyhow. Unfortunately -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern options support is broken in gcc <= 11.2. Additional compile test is required to verify proper gcc support.

kbuild: ignore powerpc specific symbols in modpost Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> wrote: We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library routines with all module objects. The routines are intended for handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to link the same "library" code into the kernel). Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail to build modules with the added register save/restore module. There were two obvious solutions: 1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage 2) To ignore the symbols in modpost Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate linking stage for single file modules.

modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits removed unused ones. - f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE") - 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know how it was exported". If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an exported symbol. It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined: int __ksymtab_foo; Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either). Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case. With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL). I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true. Only GPL-compatible modules can use it. I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

In addition, emit a warning whenever a module refers to an exported symbol without explicitly importing the namespace that it is defined in. This patch consistently adds the namespace suffix to symbol names exported into Module.symvers. Example warning emitted by modpost in case of the above violation: WARNING: module ums-usbat uses symbol usb_stor_resume from namespace USB_STORAGE, but does not import it.

Currently, string arrays passed to match() are defined in separate places: static const char *const init_sections[] = { ALL_INIT_SECTIONS, NULL }; static const char *const text_sections[] = { ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS, NULL }; static const char *const optim_symbols[] = { "*.constprop.*", NULL }; ... /* Check for pattern 5 */ if (match(fromsec, text_sections) && match(tosec, init_sections) && match(fromsym, optim_symbols)) return 0; With the new helper macro, you can list the patterns directly in the function call, like this: /* Check for pattern 5 */ if (match(fromsec, PATTERNS(ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS)) && match(tosec, PATTERNS(ALL_INIT_SECTIONS)) && match(fromsym, PATTERNS("*.contprop.*"))) return 0; Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpost Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the bad combinations of sections that refer to other sections. Compared to the previous approach we are much less dependent on knowledge of what additional sections the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false positives low. The implmentation is changed to use a table based lookup and we now check all combinations in first pass so we no longer need separate passes for init and exit sections. Tested that the same warnings are generated for an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

modpost: reduce visibility of symbols and constify r/o arrays Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible; make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the r/o section instead of being runtime writable. Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below: text data bss dec hex filename 51381 2640 12416 66437 10385 scripts/mod/modpost.old 51765 2224 12416 66405 10365 scripts/mod/modpost.new Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

modpost: Ignore ARC specific non-alloc sections ARC relocatable object files contain one/more .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* sections (collated by kernel/vmlinux.lds into .arcextmap in final link). This section is used by debuggers to display the extension instructions and need-not be loaded by target (hence !SHF_ALLOC) The final kernel binary only needs .arcextmap entry in modpost's ignore list (section_white_list[]). However when building modules, modpost scans each object file individually, hence tripping on non-aggregated .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* entries as well. Thus need for the 2 entires !

objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modules The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they should also be discarded for modules. Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with ".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards such sections. Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

kbuild: warn about ld added unique sections If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc and assembler then if the assembler code do not add the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot and a number. Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections. It will result in warnings like this: WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains section definitions for use in .S files.

scripts: modpost: Remove numeric suffix pattern matching For several years, the pattern "foo$" has effectively been treated as equivalent to "foo" due to a bug in the (misnamed) helper number_prefix(). This hasn't been observed to cause any problems, so remove the broken $ functionality and change all foo$ patterns to foo.

vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected against instrumentation for various reasons: - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86. - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it. Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling that no unsafe functions are invoked. Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check later. Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end() These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls into regular instrumentable text section as safe. The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a kernel compiled with this option.

modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table. __ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example. If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the developper has to fix the issue. In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases like this.

modpost: work correctly with tile coldtext sections The tilegx and tilepro compilers use .coldtext for their unlikely executed text section name, so an __attribute__((cold)) function will (when compiled with higher optimization levels) land in the .coldtext section. Modify modpost to add .coldtext to the set of OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS so we don't get warnings about referencing such a section in an __ex_table block, and then also modify arch/tile/lib/memcpy_user_64.c so that it uses plain ".coldtext" instead of ".coldtext.memcpy". The latter naming is a relic of an earlier use of -ffunction-sections, which we no longer use by default.

powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more flexibility to GCC. For that add an entry to the exception table so that program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution after a WARNING. Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64. unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs) { int ret; WARN_ON(regs->msr & MSR_PR); return regs->gpr[3]; } unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) { if (WARN_ON(!b)) return 0; return a / b; } Before the patch: 000003a8 <test>: 3a8: 81 23 00 84 lwz r9,132(r3) 3ac: 71 29 40 00 andi. r9,r9,16384 3b0: 40 82 00 0c bne 3bc <test+0x14> 3b4: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3b8: 4e 80 00 20 blr 3bc: 0f e0 00 00 twui r0,0 3c0: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3c4: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000000000000bf0 <.test9w>: bf0: 7c 89 00 74 cntlzd r9,r4 bf4: 79 29 d1 82 rldicl r9,r9,58,6 bf8: 0b 09 00 00 tdnei r9,0 bfc: 2c 24 00 00 cmpdi r4,0 c00: 41 82 00 0c beq c0c <.test9w+0x1c> c04: 7c 63 23 92 divdu r3,r3,r4 c08: 4e 80 00 20 blr c0c: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c10: 4e 80 00 20 blr After the patch: 000003a8 <test>: 3a8: 81 23 00 84 lwz r9,132(r3) 3ac: 71 29 40 00 andi. r9,r9,16384 3b0: 40 82 00 0c bne 3bc <test+0x14> 3b4: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3b8: 4e 80 00 20 blr 3bc: 0f e0 00 00 twui r0,0 0000000000000c50 <.test9w>: c50: 7c 89 00 74 cntlzd r9,r4 c54: 79 29 d1 82 rldicl r9,r9,58,6 c58: 0b 09 00 00 tdnei r9,0 c5c: 7c 63 23 92 divdu r3,r3,r4 c60: 4e 80 00 20 blr c70: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c74: 4e 80 00 20 blr In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what happens after the trap.

kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpost Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the bad combinations of sections that refer to other sections. Compared to the previous approach we are much less dependent on knowledge of what additional sections the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false positives low. The implmentation is changed to use a table based lookup and we now check all combinations in first pass so we no longer need separate passes for init and exit sections. Tested that the same warnings are generated for an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table. __ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example. If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the developper has to fix the issue. In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases like this.

Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the r/o section instead of being runtime writable.

Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/data Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG), __cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG) allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual configuration of for example HOTPLUG. This has the effect that all users see much more Section mismatch warnings than before because they were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled. The advantage of this is that when building a piece of code then it is much more likely that the Section mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be felt less random of nature.

modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table. __ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example. If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the developper has to fix the issue. In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases like this.

Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is: static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp) however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does constant propagation optimization.

modpost: skip ELF local symbols during section mismatch check During development of a serial console driver with a gcc 8.2.0 toolchain for RISC-V, the following modpost warning appeared: ---- WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x19b10): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .LANCHOR1 to the function .init.text:sifive_serial_console_setup() The variable .LANCHOR1 references the function __init sifive_serial_console_setup() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console ---- ".LANCHOR1" is an ELF local symbol, automatically created by gcc's section anchor generation code: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Anchored-Addresses.html https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/varasm.c;h=cd9591a45617464946dcf9a126dde277d9de9804;hb=9fb89fa845c1b2e0a18d85ada0b077c84508ab78#l7473 This was verified by compiling the kernel with -fno-section-anchors and observing that the ".LANCHOR1" ELF local symbol disappeared, and modpost no longer warned about the section mismatch. The serial driver code idiom triggering the warning is standard Linux serial driver practice that has a specific whitelist inclusion in modpost.c. I'm neither a modpost nor an ELF expert, but naively, it doesn't seem useful for modpost to report section mismatch warnings caused by ELF local symbols by default. Local symbols have compiler-generated names, and thus bypass modpost's whitelisting algorithm, which relies on the presence of a non-autogenerated symbol name. This increases the likelihood that false positive warnings will be generated (as in the above case). Thus, disable section mismatch reporting on ELF local symbols. The rationale here is similar to that of commit 2e3a10a1551d ("ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbols") and of similar code already present in modpost.c: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/mod/modpost.c?h=v4.19-rc4&id=7876320f88802b22d4e2daf7eb027dd14175a0f8#n1256 This third version of the patch implements a suggestion from Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> to restructure the code as an additional pattern matching step inside secref_whitelist(), and further improves the patch description.

modpost: don't emit section mismatch warnings for compiler optimizations Currently an allyesconfig build [gcc-4.9.1] can generate the following: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3864): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpumask_empty.constprop.3() to the variable .init.data:nmi_ipi_mask which comes from the cpumask_empty usage in arch/x86/kernel/nmi_selftest.c. Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is: static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp) however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does constant propagation optimization. Fix things up so that any locally optimized constprop variants don't warn when accessing variables that live in the __init sections.

modpost: skip ELF local symbols during section mismatch check During development of a serial console driver with a gcc 8.2.0 toolchain for RISC-V, the following modpost warning appeared: ---- WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x19b10): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .LANCHOR1 to the function .init.text:sifive_serial_console_setup() The variable .LANCHOR1 references the function __init sifive_serial_console_setup() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console ---- ".LANCHOR1" is an ELF local symbol, automatically created by gcc's section anchor generation code: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Anchored-Addresses.html https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/varasm.c;h=cd9591a45617464946dcf9a126dde277d9de9804;hb=9fb89fa845c1b2e0a18d85ada0b077c84508ab78#l7473 This was verified by compiling the kernel with -fno-section-anchors and observing that the ".LANCHOR1" ELF local symbol disappeared, and modpost no longer warned about the section mismatch. The serial driver code idiom triggering the warning is standard Linux serial driver practice that has a specific whitelist inclusion in modpost.c. I'm neither a modpost nor an ELF expert, but naively, it doesn't seem useful for modpost to report section mismatch warnings caused by ELF local symbols by default. Local symbols have compiler-generated names, and thus bypass modpost's whitelisting algorithm, which relies on the presence of a non-autogenerated symbol name. This increases the likelihood that false positive warnings will be generated (as in the above case). Thus, disable section mismatch reporting on ELF local symbols. The rationale here is similar to that of commit 2e3a10a1551d ("ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbols") and of similar code already present in modpost.c: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/mod/modpost.c?h=v4.19-rc4&id=7876320f88802b22d4e2daf7eb027dd14175a0f8#n1256 This third version of the patch implements a suggestion from Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> to restructure the code as an additional pattern matching step inside secref_whitelist(), and further improves the patch description.

modpost: fix undefined behavior of is_arm_mapping_symbol() The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$" is passed in. strchr(3) says: The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator. When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is referenced (i.e. buffer overrun). Test code --------- char str1[] = "abc"; char str2[] = "ab"; strcpy(str1, "$"); strcpy(str2, "$"); printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1)); printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2)); Result ------ test1: 0 test2: 1 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>

kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stage Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost.

Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example) with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example, by this document: "IA-64 gABI Proposal 74: Section Indexes" http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/abi/prop-74-sindex.html Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stage Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

[PATCH] remove modpost false warnings on ARM This patch stops "modpost" from issuing erroneous modpost warnings on ARM builds, which it's been doing since since maybe last summer. A canonical example would be driver method table entries: WARNING: <path> - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text:<name>_remove from .data after '$d' (at offset 0x4) That "$d" symbol is generated by tools conformant with ARM ABI specs; in this case it's a symbol **in the middle of** a "<name>_driver" struct. The erroneous warnings appear to be issued because "modpost" whitelists references from "<name>_driver" data into init and exit sections ... but doesn't know should also include those "$d" mapping symbols, which are not otherwise associated with "<name>_driver" symbols. This patch prevents the modpost symbol lookup code from ever returning those mapping symbols, so it will return a whitelisted symbol instead. Then things work as expected. Now to revert various code-bloating "fixes" that got merged because of this modpost bug....

modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table. __ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example. If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the developper has to fix the issue. In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases like this.

modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table. __ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example. If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the developper has to fix the issue. In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases like this.

modpost: fix extable entry size calculation. As Guenter pointed out, we were never really calculating the extable entry size because the pointer arithmetic was simply wrong. We want to check we're handling the second relocation in __ex_table to infer an entry size, but we were using (void*) pointers instead of Elf_Rel[a]* ones. This fixes the problem by moving that check in the caller (since we can deal with different types of relocations) and add is_second_extable_reloc() to make the whole thing more readable.

kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stage Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

The segmentation fault occurs when section_rel() is called for vmlinux, which is untested in regular builds. The cause of the problem is reloc_location() returning a wrong pointer for ET_EXEC object type. In this case, you need to subtract sechdr->sh_addr, otherwise it would get access beyond the mmap'ed memory. Add sym_get_data_by_offset() helper to avoid code duplication.

riscv: switch to relative exception tables Similar as other architectures such as arm64, x86 and so on, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values rather than absolute addresses for both the exception locationand the fixup. However, RISCV label difference will actually produce two relocations, a pair of R_RISCV_ADD32 and R_RISCV_SUB32. Take below simple code for example: $ cat test.S .section .text 1: nop .section __ex_table,"a" .balign 4 .long (1b - .) .previous $ riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc -c test.S $ riscv64-linux-gnu-readelf -r test.o Relocation section '.rela__ex_table' at offset 0x100 contains 2 entries: Offset Info Type Sym.

modpost: use more reliable way to get fromsec in section_rel(a)() The section name of Rel and Rela starts with ".rel" and ".rela" respectively (but, I do not know whether this is specification or convention). For example, ".rela.text" holds relocation entries applied to the ".text" section. So, the code chops the ".rel" or ".rela" prefix to get the name of the section to which the relocation applies. However, I do not like to skip 4 or 5 bytes blindly because it is potential memory overrun. The ELF specification provides a more reliable way to do this. - The sh_info field holds extra information, whose interpretation depends on the section type - If the section type is SHT_REL or SHT_RELA, the sh_info field holds the section header index of the section to which the relocation applies.

kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw" When you put .section ".foo" in an assembly file instead of .section "foo", "ax" , one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela(). But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one: WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name. So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section flags.

kbuild: warn about ld added unique sections If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc and assembler then if the assembler code do not add the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot and a number. Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections. It will result in warnings like this: WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains section definitions for use in .S files. All warnings seen with a defconfig build for: x86 (32+64bit) and sparc64 has been fixed (via respective maintainers). arm, powerpc (64 bit), s390 (32 bit), ia64, alpha, sh4 checked - no warnings seen with a defconfig build.

The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted.

Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example) with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example, by this document: "IA-64 gABI Proposal 74: Section Indexes" http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/abi/prop-74-sindex.html Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw" When you put .section ".foo" in an assembly file instead of .section "foo", "ax" , one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela(). But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one: WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name. So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section flags.

kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stage Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

Compared to the previous approach we are much less dependent on knowledge of what additional sections the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false positives low.

modpost: fix removing numeric suffixes With the `-z unique-symbol` linker flag or any similar mechanism, it is possible to trigger the following: ERROR: modpost: "param_set_uint.0" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL The reason is that for now the condition from remove_dot(): if (m && (s[n + m] == '.' || s[n + m] == 0)) which was designed to test if it's a dot or a '\0' after the suffix is never satisfied. This is due to that `s[n + m]` always points to the last digit of a numeric suffix, not on the symbol next to it (from a custom debug print added to modpost): param_set_uint.0, s[n + m] is '0', s[n + m + 1] is '\0' So it's off-by-one and was like that since 2014. Fix this for the sake of any potential upcoming features, but don't bother stable-backporting, as it's well hidden -- apart from that LD flag, it can be triggered only with GCC LTO which never landed upstream.

modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs from them. The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying to change it. Current implementation ====================== |----------| embed CRC -------------------------->| final | $(CC) $(LD) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost | | vmlinux | / / | |-- *.mod.c -->| or | / genksyms / |---------| | module | *.c ------> *.symversions |----------| Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script (*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object. If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process is much more complex. Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o. However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must embed version CRCs in objects so early. There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last moment. New implementation ================== |----------| --------------------------------------->| final | $(CC) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o ---->| | | vmlinux | / | modpost |--- .vmlinux.export.c -->| or | / genksyms | |--- *.mod.c ------------>| module | *.c ------> *.cmd -->|---------| |----------| Pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data, which are available in *.cmd files.

modpost: change mod->gpl_compatible to bool type Currently, mod->gpl_compatible is tristate; it is set to -1 by default, then to 1 or 0 when MODULE_LICENSE() is found. Maybe, -1 was chosen to represent the 'unknown' license, but it is not useful. The current code: if (!mod->gpl_compatible) check_for_gpl_usage(exp->export, basename, exp->name); ... only cares whether gpl_compatible is zero or not. Change it to a bool type with the initial value 'true', which has no functional change. The default value should be 'true' instead of 'false'. Since commit 1d6cd3929360 ("modpost: turn missing MODULE_LICENSE() into error"), unknown module license is an error. The error message, "missing MODULE_LICENSE()" is enough to explain the issue. It is not sensible to show another message, "GPL-incompatible module ... uses GPL-only symbol". Add comments to explain this. While I was here, I renamed gpl_compatible to is_gpl_compatible for clarification, and also slightly refactored the code.

symbol namespaces: revert to previous __ksymtab name scheme The introduction of Symbol Namespaces changed the naming schema of the __ksymtab entries from __kysmtab__symbol to __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.symbol. That caused some breakages in tools that depend on the name layout in either the binaries(vmlinux,*.ko) or in System.map. E.g. kmod's depmod would not be able to read System.map without a patch to support symbol namespaces. A warning reported by depmod for namespaced symbols would look like depmod: WARNING: [...]/uas.ko needs unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks In order to address this issue, revert to the original naming scheme and rather read the __kstrtabns_<symbol> entries and their corresponding values from __ksymtab_strings to update the namespace values for symbols.

modpost: stop symbol preloading for modversion CRC It is complicated to add mocked-up symbols for pre-handling CRC. Handle CRC after all the export symbols in the relevant module are registered. Call handle_modversion() after the handle_symbol() iteration. In some cases, I see atand-alone __crc_* without __ksymtab_*. For example, ARCH=arm allyesconfig produces __crc_ccitt_veneer and __crc_itu_t_veneer. I guess they come from crc_ccitt, crc_itu_t, respectively. Since __*_veneer are auto-generated symbols, just ignore them. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

symbol namespaces: revert to previous __ksymtab name scheme The introduction of Symbol Namespaces changed the naming schema of the __ksymtab entries from __kysmtab__symbol to __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.symbol. That caused some breakages in tools that depend on the name layout in either the binaries(vmlinux,*.ko) or in System.map. E.g. kmod's depmod would not be able to read System.map without a patch to support symbol namespaces. A warning reported by depmod for namespaced symbols would look like depmod: WARNING: [...]/uas.ko needs unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks In order to address this issue, revert to the original naming scheme and rather read the __kstrtabns_<symbol> entries and their corresponding values from __ksymtab_strings to update the namespace values for symbols.

modpost: remove annoying namespace_from_kstrtabns() There are two call sites for sym_update_namespace(). When the symbol has no namespace, s->namespace is set to NULL, but the conversion from "" to NULL is done in two different places. [1] read_symbols() This gets the namespace from __kstrtabns_<symbol>. If the symbol has no namespace, sym_get_data(info, sym) returns the empty string "". namespace_from_kstrtabns() converts it to NULL before it is passed to sym_update_namespace(). [2] read_dump() This gets the namespace from the dump file, *.symvers. If the symbol has no namespace, the 'namespace' is the empty string "", which is directly passed into sym_update_namespace(). The conversion from "" to NULL is done in sym_update_namespace(). namespace_from_kstrtabns() exists only for creating this inconsistency. Remove namespace_from_kstrtabns() so that sym_update_namespace() is consistently passed with "" instead of NULL.

modpost: refactor error handling and clarify error/fatal difference We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:"). In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general because we should display as many error messages as possible in a single run of modpost. What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix all errors. But, unfortunately, people tend to do: "This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()." One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error code to the main() function. This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically makes modpost return the error code. I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal(). Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so. For example: - Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed) - The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing - Something really odd has happened For general coding errors, please use error().

[1] The commit is not in this git repository, and might be worth a little explanation. You can add EXPORT_SYMBOL() without having its definition in the same file (but you need to put a declaration). This is typical when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is added in a C file, but the actual implementation is in a separate assembly file. One example is arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files (but this limitation does not exist any more). If you forget to add the definition, this error occurs. Add a separate, clearer message for this case. It should be an error even if KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN is given.

kbuild: fix false-positive modpost warning when all symbols are trimmed 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.

kbuild: check license compatibility when building modules Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild, the build will fail during the modpost step. When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol then warn during modpost so author are actually notified. The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel to make sure it is in sync.

modpost: add support for symbol namespaces Add support for symbols that are exported into namespaces. For that, extract any namespace suffix from the symbol name. In addition, emit a warning whenever a module refers to an exported symbol without explicitly importing the namespace that it is defined in. This patch consistently adds the namespace suffix to symbol names exported into Module.symvers. Example warning emitted by modpost in case of the above violation: WARNING: module ums-usbat uses symbol usb_stor_resume from namespace USB_STORAGE, but does not import it.

modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps file 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.

modpost: return error if module is missing ns imports and 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.

modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits removed unused ones. - f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE") - 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know how it was exported". If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an exported symbol. It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined: int __ksymtab_foo; Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either). Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case. With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL). I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true. Only GPL-compatible modules can use it. I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

modpost: refactor error handling and clarify error/fatal difference We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:"). In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general because we should display as many error messages as possible in a single run of modpost. What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix all errors. But, unfortunately, people tend to do: "This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()." One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error code to the main() function. This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically makes modpost return the error code. I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal(). Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so. For example: - Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed) - The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing - Something really odd has happened For general coding errors, please use error().

modpost: rename merror() to error() The log function names, warn(), merror(), fatal() are inconsistent. Commit 2a11665945d5 ("kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpost") intentionally chose merror() to avoid the conflict with the library function error(). See man page of error(3). But, we are already causing the conflict with warn() because it is also a library function. See man page of warn(3). err() would be a problem for the same reason. The common technique to work around name conflicts is to use macros. For example: /* in a header */ #define error(fmt, ...) __error(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__) #define warn(fmt, ...) __warn(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__) /* function definition */ void __error(const char *fmt, ...) { <our implementation> } void __warn(const char *fmt, ...) { <our implementation> } In this way, we can implement our own warn() and error(), still we can include <error.h> and <err.h> with no problem. And, commit 93c95e526a4e ("modpost: rework and consolidate logging interface") already did that. Since the log functions are all macros, we can use error() without causing "conflicting types" errors.

kbuild: add an elfnote for whether vmlinux is built with lto Currently, clang LTO built vmlinux won't work with pahole. LTO introduced cross-cu dwarf tag references and broke current pahole model which handles one cu as a time. The solution is to merge all cu's as one pahole cu as in [1]. We would like to do this merging only if cross-cu dwarf references happens. The LTO build mode is a pretty good indication for that. In earlier version of this patch ([2]), clang flag -grecord-gcc-switches is proposed to add to compilation flags so pahole could detect "-flto" and then merging cu's. This will increate the binary size of 1% without LTO though. Arnaldo suggested to use a note to indicate the vmlinux is built with LTO. Such a cheap way to get whether the vmlinux is built with LTO or not helps pahole but is also useful for tracing as LTO may inline/delete/demote global functions, promote static functions, etc. So this patch added an elfnote with a new type LINUX_ELFNOTE_LTO_INFO. The owner of the note is "Linux". With gcc 8.4.1 and clang trunk, without LTO, I got $ readelf -n vmlinux Displaying notes found in: .notes Owner Data size Description ... Linux 0x00000004 func description data: 00 00 00 00 ... With "readelf -x ".notes" vmlinux", I can verify the above "func" with type code 0x101.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

kbuild: Add build salt to the kernel and modules In Fedora, the debug information is packaged separately (foo-debuginfo) and can be installed separately. There's been a long standing issue where only one version of a debuginfo info package can be installed at a time. There's been an effort for Fedora for parallel debuginfo to rectify this problem. Part of the requirement to allow parallel debuginfo to work is that build ids are unique between builds. The existing upstream rpm implementation ensures this by re-calculating the build-id using the version and release as a seed. This doesn't work 100% for the kernel because of the vDSO which is its own binary and doesn't get updated when embedded. Fix this by adding some data in an ELF note for both the kernel and modules. The data is controlled via a Kconfig option so distributions can set it to an appropriate value to ensure uniqueness between builds.

kbuild: Add build salt to the kernel and modules In Fedora, the debug information is packaged separately (foo-debuginfo) and can be installed separately. There's been a long standing issue where only one version of a debuginfo info package can be installed at a time. There's been an effort for Fedora for parallel debuginfo to rectify this problem. Part of the requirement to allow parallel debuginfo to work is that build ids are unique between builds. The existing upstream rpm implementation ensures this by re-calculating the build-id using the version and release as a seed. This doesn't work 100% for the kernel because of the vDSO which is its own binary and doesn't get updated when embedded. Fix this by adding some data in an ELF note for both the kernel and modules. The data is controlled via a Kconfig option so distributions can set it to an appropriate value to ensure uniqueness between builds.

module: Add module name to modinfo Accessing the mod structure (e.g. for mod->name) prior to having completed check_modstruct_version() can result in writing garbage to the error logs if the layout of the mod structure loaded from disk doesn't match the running kernel's mod structure layout. This kind of mismatch will become much more likely if a kernel is built with different randomization seed for the struct layout randomization plugin. Instead, add and use a new modinfo string for logging the module name. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@redhat.com>

module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

modpost: fix module versioning when a symbol lacks valid CRC Since commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS"), module versioning is broken on some architectures. Loading a module fails with "disagrees about version of symbol module_layout". On such architectures (e.g. ARCH=sparc build with sparc64_defconfig), modpost shows a warning, like follows: WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "_mcount" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. Is "_mcount" prototyped in <asm/asm-prototypes.h>? Previously, it was a harmless warning (CRC check was just skipped), but now wrong CRCs are used for comparison because invalid CRCs are just skipped. $ sparc64-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux [snip] 0000000000c2cea0 r __ksymtab__kstrtol 0000000000c2ceb8 r __ksymtab__kstrtoul 0000000000c2ced0 r __ksymtab__local_bh_enable 0000000000c2cee8 r __ksymtab__mcount 0000000000c2cf00 r __ksymtab__printk 0000000000c2cf18 r __ksymtab__raw_read_lock 0000000000c2cf30 r __ksymtab__raw_read_lock_bh [snip] 0000000000c53b34 D __crc__kstrtol 0000000000c53b38 D __crc__kstrtoul 0000000000c53b3c D __crc__local_bh_enable 0000000000c53b40 D __crc__printk 0000000000c53b44 D __crc__raw_read_lock 0000000000c53b48 D __crc__raw_read_lock_bh Please notice __crc__mcount is missing here. When the module subsystem looks up a CRC that comes after, it results in reading out a wrong address. For example, when __crc__printk is needed, the module subsystem reads 0xc53b44 instead of 0xc53b40. All CRC entries must be output for correct index accessing. Invalid CRCs will be unused, but are needed to keep the one-to-one mapping between __ksymtab_* and __crc_*. The best is to fix all modpost warnings, but several warnings are still remaining on less popular architectures.

The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying to change it. Current implementation ====================== |----------| embed CRC -------------------------->| final | $(CC) $(LD) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost | | vmlinux | / / | |-- *.mod.c -->| or | / genksyms / |---------| | module | *.c ------> *.symversions |----------| Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script (*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object. If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process is much more complex. Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o. However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must embed version CRCs in objects so early. There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last moment. New implementation ================== |----------| --------------------------------------->| final | $(CC) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o ---->| | | vmlinux | / | modpost |--- .vmlinux.export.c -->| or | / genksyms | |--- *.mod.c ------------>| module | *.c ------> *.cmd -->|---------| |----------| Pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data, which are available in *.cmd files. This commit changes modpost to extract CRCs from *.cmd files instead of from ELF objects.

modpost: refactor error handling and clarify error/fatal difference We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:"). In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general because we should display as many error messages as possible in a single run of modpost. What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix all errors. But, unfortunately, people tend to do: "This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()." One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error code to the main() function. This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically makes modpost return the error code. I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal(). Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so. For example: - Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed) - The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing - Something really odd has happened For general coding errors, please use error().

The compiler may catch at compiling *.mod.c like CC xxx.mod.o xxx.mod.c:18:16: warning: initializer-string for array of chars is too long but it's merely a warning. This patch adds the check of the symbol length in modpost and stops the build properly.

modpost: rename merror() to error() The log function names, warn(), merror(), fatal() are inconsistent. Commit 2a11665945d5 ("kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpost") intentionally chose merror() to avoid the conflict with the library function error(). See man page of error(3). But, we are already causing the conflict with warn() because it is also a library function. See man page of warn(3). err() would be a problem for the same reason. The common technique to work around name conflicts is to use macros. For example: /* in a header */ #define error(fmt, ...) __error(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__) #define warn(fmt, ...) __warn(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__) /* function definition */ void __error(const char *fmt, ...) { <our implementation> } void __warn(const char *fmt, ...) { <our implementation> } In this way, we can implement our own warn() and error(), still we can include <error.h> and <err.h> with no problem. And, commit 93c95e526a4e ("modpost: rework and consolidate logging interface") already did that. Since the log functions are all macros, we can use error() without causing "conflicting types" errors.

module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixes Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the symbol versions. This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the ____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which would no longer work.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

modpost: move the namespace field in Module.symvers last In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc, symbol, module). In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbcedf44), which is over a decade ago now. Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next delimiter or end of line will follow.

modpost: track if the symbol origin is a dump file or ELF object The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump file or ELF object. This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe this makes more sense. sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an exported symbol. It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined: int __ksymtab_foo; Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either). Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case. With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL). I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true.

modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs from them. The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying to change it. Current implementation ====================== |----------| embed CRC -------------------------->| final | $(CC) $(LD) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost | | vmlinux | / / | |-- *.mod.c -->| or | / genksyms / |---------| | module | *.c ------> *.symversions |----------| Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script (*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object. If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process is much more complex. Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o. However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must embed version CRCs in objects so early. There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last moment. New implementation ================== |----------| --------------------------------------->| final | $(CC) / |---------| | link for | -----> *.o ---->| | | vmlinux | / | modpost |--- .vmlinux.export.c -->| or | / genksyms | |--- *.mod.c ------------>| module | *.c ------> *.cmd -->|---------| |----------| Pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data, which are available in *.cmd files.

modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type There were more EXPORT_SYMBOL types in the past. The following commits removed unused ones. - f1c3d73e973c ("module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE") - 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") There are 3 remaining in enum export, but export_unknown does not make any sense because we never expect such a situation like "we do not know how it was exported". If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not an exported symbol. It occurs when a variable starting with "__ksymtab_" is directly defined: int __ksymtab_foo; Presumably, there is no practical issue for using such a weird variable name (but there is no good reason for doing so, either). Anyway, that is not an exported symbol. Setting export_unknown is not the right thing to do. Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case. With pointless export_unknown removed, the export type finally becomes boolean (either EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL). I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL sets it true. Only GPL-compatible modules can use it. I removed the orphan comment, "How a symbol is exported", which is unrelated to sec_mismatch_count. It is about enum export.

modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps file 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.

modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module. E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc. These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a corresponding make target to automatically add missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

modpost: traverse modules in order Currently, modpost manages modules in a singly linked list; it adds a new node to the head, and traverses the list from new to old. It works, but the error messages are shown in the reverse order. If you have a Makefile like this: obj-m += foo.o bar.o then, modpost shows error messages in bar.o, foo.o, in this order. Use a doubly linked list to keep the order in modules.order; use list_add_tail() for the node addition and list_for_each_entry() for the list traverse. Now that the kernel's list macros have been imported to modpost, I will use them actively going forward.

kbuild: support loading extra symbols in modpost This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed. When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols: # make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module ... Building modules, stage 2. .... WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined! ...etc This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning. The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required. This patch works together with the second patch.

kbuild: support loading extra symbols in modpost This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed. When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols: # make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module ... Building modules, stage 2. .... WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined! ...etc This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning. The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required. This patch works together with the second patch.

modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build fails Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added support for building a large number of modules. Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost error if a single file failed to build. Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k: fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored) This error is followed by lots of errors such as: m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored) This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors. Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult to find the real errors in the build. Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files. With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i): m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored) ... fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory (ignored) Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module. E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc. These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a corresponding make target to automatically add missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps file 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.

modpost: traverse modules in order Currently, modpost manages modules in a singly linked list; it adds a new node to the head, and traverses the list from new to old. It works, but the error messages are shown in the reverse order. If you have a Makefile like this: obj-m += foo.o bar.o then, modpost shows error messages in bar.o, foo.o, in this order. Use a doubly linked list to keep the order in modules.order; use list_add_tail() for the node addition and list_for_each_entry() for the list traverse. Now that the kernel's list macros have been imported to modpost, I will use them actively going forward.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module. E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc. These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a corresponding make target to automatically add missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps file 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. This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/28/467 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Tested-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Matthias Maennich <maennich@google.com> Tested-by: Matthias Maennich <maennich@google.com>

modpost: turn section mismatches to error from fatal() There is code that reports static EXPORT_SYMBOL a few lines below. It is not a good idea to bail out here. I renamed sec_mismatch_fatal to sec_mismatch_warn_only (with logical inversion) to match to CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

modpost: always show verbose warning for section mismatch Unless CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH is enabled, modpost only shows the number of section mismatches. If you want to know the symbols causing the issue, you need to rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH. It is tedious. I think it is fine to show annoying warning when a new section mismatch comes in. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions This patch adds a check to warn about static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions during the modpost. In most of the cases, a static symbol marked for exporting is an odd combination that should be fixed either by deleting the exporting mark or by removing the static attribute and adding the appropriate declaration to headers. This check could help to detect the following problems: 1. 550113d4e9f5 ("i2c: add newly exported functions to the header, too") 2. 54638c6eaf44 ("net: phy: make exported variables non-static") 3. 98ef2046f28b ("mm: remove the exporting of totalram_pages") 4. 73df167c819e ("s390/zcrypt: remove the exporting of ap_query_configuration") 5. a57caf8c527f ("sunrpc/cache: remove the exporting of cache_seq_next") 6. e4e4730698c9 ("crypto: skcipher - remove the exporting of skcipher_walk_next") 7. 14b4c48bb1ce ("gve: Remove the exporting of gve_probe") 8. 9b79ee9773a8 ("scsi: libsas: remove the exporting of sas_wait_eh") 9. ...

kbuild: fix false-positive modpost warning when all symbols are trimmed 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.

modpost: refactor error handling and clarify error/fatal difference We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:"). In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general because we should display as many error messages as possible in a single run of modpost. What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix all errors. But, unfortunately, people tend to do: "This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()." One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error code to the main() function. This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically makes modpost return the error code. I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal(). Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so. For example: - Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed) - The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing - Something really odd has happened For general coding errors, please use error().
