* checkpatch: reduce is_maintained_obsolete lookup runtimeJoe Perches2019-12-051-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The is_maintained_obsolete function can be called twice using the same filename. This function spawns a process using get_maintainer.pl. Store the status of each filename when spawned and use the stored result to eliminate the spawning of unnecessary duplicate child processes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sym_entry::sym is (unsigned char *) instead of (char *) because kallsyms exploits the MSB for compression, and the characters are used as the index of token_profit array. However, it requires casting (unsigned char *) to (char *) in some places since standard library functions such as strcmp(), strlen() expect (char *). Introduce a new helper, sym_name(), which advances the given pointer by 1 and casts it to (char *). Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, record_relative_base() iterates over the entire table to find the minimum address, but it is not efficient because we sort the table anyway. After sort_symbol(), the table is sorted by address. (kallsyms parses the 'nm -n' output, so the data is already sorted by address, but this commit does not rely on it.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | build_initial_tok_table() overwrites unused sym_entry to shrink the table size. Before the entry is overwritten, table[i].sym must be freed since it is malloc'ed data. This fixes the 'definitely lost' report from valgrind. I ran valgrind against x86_64_defconfig of v5.4-rc8 kernel, and here is the summary: [Before the fix] LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 53,184 bytes in 2,874 blocks [After the fix] LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

| * modpost: do not set ->preloaded for symbols from Module.symversMasahiro Yamada2019-11-231-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that there is no overwrap between symbols from ELF files and ones from Module.symvers. So, the 'exported twice' warning should be reported irrespective of where the symbol in question came from. The exceptional case is external module; in some cases, we build an external module to provide a different version/variant of the corresponding in-kernel module, overriding the same set of exported symbols. You can see this use-case in upstream; tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko replaces drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko in order to link it against mocked version of core kernel symbols. So, let's relax the 'exported twice' warning when building external modules. The multiple export from external modules is warned only when the previous one is from vmlinux or itself. With this refactoring, the ugly preloading goes away. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
| * modpost: stop symbol preloading for modversion CRCMasahiro Yamada2019-11-231-32/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| * modpost: refactor namespace_from_kstrtabns() to not hard-code section nameMasahiro Yamada2019-11-232-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, namespace_from_kstrtabns() relies on the fact that namespace strings are recorded in the __ksymtab_strings section. Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does not need to hard-code the section name. Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is a more portable way to get the namespace string. Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete the info->ksymtab_strings . While I was here, I added more 'const' qualifiers to pointers. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, some sanity checks for uapi headers are done by scripts/headers_check.pl, which is wired up to the 'headers_check' target in the top Makefile.

The rebuild of allmodconfig may take a few minutes even when none of the objects needs to be rebuilt. The time-consuming part in the incremental build is the evaluation of if_changed* macros since they are used in the recipes to compile C and assembly source files into objects. I notice the following code in if_changed* is expensive: $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) In the incremental build, every object has its .*.cmd file, which contains the auto-generated list of included headers. So, $^ are expanded into the long list of the source file + included headers, and $(wildcard $^) checks whether they exist. It may not be clear why this check exists there. Here is the record of my research. [1] The first code addition into Kbuild This code dates back to 2002. It is the pre-git era. So, I copy-pasted it from the historical git tree. | commit 4a6db0791528c220655b063cf13fefc8470dbfee (HEAD) | Author: Kai Germaschewski <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> | Date: Mon Jun 17 00:22:37 2002 -0500 | | kbuild: Handle removed headers | | New and old way to handle dependencies would choke when a file | #include'd by other files was removed, since the dependency on it was | still recorded, but since it was gone, make has no idea what to do about | it (and would complain with "No rule to make <file> ...") | | We now add targets for all the previously included files, so make will | just ignore them if they disappear. | | diff --git a/Rules.make b/Rules.make | index 6ef827d3df39..7db5301ea7db 100644 | --- a/Rules.make | +++ b/Rules.make | @@ -446,7 +446,7 @@ if_changed = $(if $(strip $? \ | # execute the command and also postprocess generated .d dependencies | # file | | -if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $? \ | +if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $? $(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^)\ | $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)),$(cmd_$@))\ | $(filter-out $(cmd_$@),$(cmd_$(1)))),\ | @set -e; \ | diff --git a/scripts/fixdep.c b/scripts/fixdep.c | index b5d7bee8efc7..db45bd1888c0 100644 | --- a/scripts/fixdep.c | +++ b/scripts/fixdep.c | @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ void parse_dep_file(void *map, size_t len) | exit(1); | } | memcpy(s, m, p-m); s[p-m] = 0; | - printf("%s: \\\n", target); | + printf("deps_%s := \\\n", target); | m = p+1; | | clear_config(); | @@ -314,7 +314,8 @@ void parse_dep_file(void *map, size_t len) | } | m = p + 1; | } | - printf("\n"); | + printf("\n%s: $(deps_%s)\n\n", target, target); | + printf("$(deps_%s):\n", target); | } | | void print_deps(void) The "No rule to make <file> ..." error can be solved by passing -MP to the compiler, but I think the detection of header removal is a good feature. When a header is removed, all source files that previously included it should be re-compiled. This makes sure we has correctly got rid of #include directives of it. This is also related with the behavior of $?. The GNU Make manual says: $? The names of all the prerequisites that are newer than the target, with spaces between them. This does not explain whether a non-existent prerequisite is considered to be newer than the target. At this point of time, GNU Make 3.7x was used, where the $? did not include non-existent prerequisites. Therefore, $(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect the header removal, and to rebuild the related objects if it is the case. [2] Change of $? behavior Later, the behavior of $? was changed (fixed) to include prerequisites that did not exist. First, GNU Make commit 64e16d6c00a5 ("Various changes getting ready for the release of 3.81.") changed it, but in the release test of 3.81, it turned out to break the kernel build. See these: - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16002 - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16051 Then, GNU Make commit 6d8d9b74d9c5 ("Numerous updates to tests for issues found on Cygwin and Windows.") reverted it for the 3.81 release to give Linux kernel time to adjust to the new behavior. After the 3.81 release, GNU Make commit 7595f38f62af ("Fixed a number of documentation bugs, plus some build/install issues:") re-added it. [3] Adjustment to the new $? behavior on Kbuild side Meanwhile, the kernel build was changed by commit 4f1933620f57 ("kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior") to adjust to the new $? behavior. [4] GNU Make 3.82 released in 2010 GNU Make 3.82 was the first release that integrated the correct $? behavior. At this point, Kbuild dealt with GNU Make versions with different $? behaviors. 3.81 or older: $? does not contain any non-existent prerequisite. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect removed include headers. 3.82 or newer: $? contains non-existent prerequisites. When a header is removed, it appears in $?. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) became a redundant check. With the correct $? behavior, we could have dropped the expensive check for 3.82 or later, but we did not. (Maybe nobody noticed this optimization.) [5] The .SECONDARY special target trips up $? Some time later, I noticed $? did not work as expected under some circumstances. As above, $? should contain non-existent prerequisites, but the ones specified as SECONDARY do not appear in $?. I asked this in GNU Make ML, and it seems a bug: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2019-01/msg00001.html Since commit 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"), all files, including headers listed in .*.cmd files, are treated as secondary. So, we are back into the incorrect $? behavior. If we Kbuild want to react to the header removal, we need to keep $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) but this makes the rebuild so slow. [Summary] - I believe noticing the header removal and recompiling related objects is a nice feature for the build system. - If $? worked correctly, $(filter-out $(PHONY),$?) would be enough to detect the header removal. - Currently, $? does not work correctly when used with .SECONDARY, and Kbuild is hit by this bug. - I filed a bug report for this, but not fixed yet as of writing. - Currently, the header removal is detected by the following expensive code: $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) - I do not want to revert commit 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"). Specifying .SECONDARY globally is clean, and it matches to the Kbuild policy. This commit proactively removes the expensive check since it makes the incremental build faster. A downside is Kbuild will no longer be able to notice the header removal. You can confirm it by the full-build followed by a header removal, and then re-build. $ make defconfig all [ full build ] $ rm include/linux/device.h $ make CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh DESCEND objtool CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#11) Building modules, stage 2.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: do not invoke extra modpost for nsdepsMasahiro Yamada2019-11-112-12/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'make nsdeps' invokes the modpost three times at most; before linking vmlinux, before building modules, and finally for generating .ns_deps files. Running the modpost again and again is not efficient. The last two can be unified. When the -d option is given, the modpost still does the usual job, and in addition, generates .ns_deps files.

This is useful but there's no easy way to get the help text associated with the options at the same time. Introduce a new targe 'make helpnewconfig' which lists the full help text of all the new options as well. This makes it easier to automatically generate changes that are easy for humans to review. This command also adds markers between each option for easier parsing.

| * kbuild: do not read $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Module.symversMasahiro Yamada2019-11-112-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 040fcc819a2e ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules"), the external module build reads Module.symvers in the directory of the module itself, then dumps symbols back into it. It accumulates stale symbols in the file when you build an external module incrementally. The idea behind it was, as the commit log explained, you can copy Modules.symvers from one module to another when you need to pass symbol information between two modules. However, the manual copy of the file sounds questionable to me, and containing stale symbols is a downside. Some time later, commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced a saner approach. So, this commit removes the former one. Going forward, the external module build dumps symbols into Module.symvers to be carried via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, but never reads it automatically. With the -I option removed, there is no one to set the external_module flag unless KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is passed. Now the -i option does it instead.

| * modpost: do not parse vmlinux for external module buildsMasahiro Yamada2019-11-111-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building external modules, $(objtree)/Module.symvers is scanned for symbol information of vmlinux and in-tree modules. Additionally, vmlinux is parsed if it exists in $(objtree)/. This is totally redundant since all the necessary information is contained in $(objtree)/Module.symvers. Do not parse vmlinux at all for external module builds. This makes sense because vmlinux is deleted by 'make clean'. 'make clean' leaves all the build artifacts for building external modules. vmlinux is unneeded for that. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

The correct approach is to hold the jobserver slots until sphinx has finished. To fix this, the following changes are made: - refactor (and rename) scripts/jobserver-exec to set an environment variable for the maximally reserved jobserver slots and exec a child, to release the slots on exit. - create Documentation/scripts/parallel-wrapper.sh which examines both $PARALLELISM and the detected "-jauto" logic from Documentation/Makefile to decide sphinx's final -j argument. - chain these together in Documentation/Makefile Suggested-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eb25959a-9ec4-3530-2031-d9d716b40b20@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191121205929.40371-4-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
