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. Let it rip!

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 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. With clang thin-LTO, I got the same as above except the following: description data: 01 00 00 00 which indicates the vmlinux is built with LTO.

init/version.c: include <linux/export.h> instead of <linux/module.h> init/version.c has nothing to do with modules, so remove the <linux/modude.h>. Instead, include <linux/export.h> for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This cuts off a lot of unnecessary header parsing.

init: add "hostname" kernel parameter The gethostname system call returns the hostname for the current machine. However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before gethostname can produce a meaningful name. Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file (say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may, however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as "(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar"). A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted, perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array, then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of the local arrays are foreign. Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname. However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot. Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users. I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem. It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise, vmlinux would be rebuilt every time. When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that time to really fix UTS_VERSION. However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not need rebuilding. To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows: [1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from include/generated/compile.h include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION. [2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c from init/version.c init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link, they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and timestamp. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
