init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on HAS_IOMEM

2021-03-13T19:27:30+00:00

I read the commit log of the following two:

- bc083a64b6c0 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML")
- 334ef6ed06fa ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !S390")

Both are talking about HAS_IOMEM dependency missing in many drivers.

So, 'depends on HAS_IOMEM' seems the direct, sensible solution to me.

This does not change the behavior of UML. UML still cannot enable
COMPILE_TEST because it does not provide HAS_IOMEM.

The current dependency for S390 is too strong. Under the condition of
CONFIG_PCI=y, S390 provides HAS_IOMEM, hence can enable COMPILE_TEST.

I also removed the meaningless 'default n'.

kbuild: rebuild GCC plugins when the compiler is upgraded

2021-03-11T05:40:50+00:00

Linus reported a build error due to the GCC plugin incompatibility
when the compiler is upgraded. [1]

GCC plugins are tied to a particular GCC version. So, they must be
rebuilt when the compiler is upgraded.

This seems to be a long-standing flaw since the initial support of
GCC plugins.

Extend commit 8b59cd81dc5e ("kbuild: ensure full rebuild when the
compiler is updated"), so that GCC plugins are covered by the
compiler upgrade detection.

kbuild: fix UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST for Clang LTO

2021-02-28T06:19:21+00:00

Commit fbe078d397b4 ("kbuild: lto: add a default list of used symbols")
does not work as expected if the .config file has already specified
CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST="my/own/white/list" before enabling
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

So, the user-supplied whitelist and LTO-specific white list must be
independent of each other.

I refactored the shell script so CONFIG_MODVERSIONS and CONFIG_CLANG_LTO
handle whitelists in the same way.

Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding

2021-02-24T16:57:06+00:00

In commit 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option") I
disabled this option because it's hugely expensive at build time, and I
questioned how much use it gets.

Several people piped up and convinced me it's actually useful, so
instead of disabling it entirely, it now depends on EXPERT and gets
disabled by COMPILE_TEST builds so that 'allmodconfig' style things
don't enable it.

I still hope somebody will take a look at the build time issue, because
as Arnd also noted:

 "However, the combination of thinlto and trim indeed has a steep cost
  in compile time, taking almost twice as long as a normal defconfig
  (gc-sections makes it slightly faster)"

Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option

2021-02-23T20:21:58+00:00

The removal of EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() in commit 367948220fce looks like
(and was sold as) a no-op, but it actually had a rather serious and
subtle side effect: the UNUSED_SYMBOLS option not only enabled the
removed (unused) functionality, it also _disabled_ the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
functionality.

And it turns out that TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is a huge time waste, and takes
up a third of the kernel build time for me.  For no actual upside, since
no distro is likely to ever be able to enable it (because they all
support external kernel modules).

Rather than re-enable EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL, this just disables the
TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option by marking it broken.  I'm tempted to just
remove the support entirely, but maybe somebody has a use-case and can
fix the behavior of it.

I could have just disabled it for COMPILE_TEST, but it really smells
like the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option is badly done and not really useful,
so this takes the more direct approach - let's see if anybody ever
actually notices or complains.
