linux-toradex.git/scripts/Makefile.build, branch v5.19-rc1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules kbuild: factor out the common objtool arguments 2022-06-04T21:20:57+00:00 Masahiro Yamada masahiroy@kernel.org 2022-05-28T15:47:04+00:00 b42d2306502419688190aa6dd4dab4a6def24b3d scripts/Makefile.build and scripts/link-vmlinux.sh have similar setups for the objtool arguments.

  foo2.c:

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

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

This check should be done per compilation unit, but I do not know how

modpost cannot parse individual objects because they may not be ELF but

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.

           $(CC)                     +objtool              $(LD)

                                                 (LLVM IR)

  One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive
  despite of its suffix.

New build flow
==============

 [1] single-object module

  Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR.
  Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO
  is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object.

               $(CC)+$(LD)+objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c ----------------------------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
                                        (ELF)     |      (ELF)
                                                  |
                                      foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module

  Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive,
  but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them
  into a single ELF object.

                               $(LD)
             $(CC)            +objtool          $(LD)
    foo1.c ---------> foo1.o ---------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
                                 |      (ELF)     |      (ELF)
    foo2.c ---------> foo2.o ----/                |
                     (LLVM IR)        foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

Some of them might be surprising. This makes objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features to other arches. - The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several other features independent of that. - The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options. The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object file". - The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have surprising behavior. Overhaul the interface: - get rid of subcmds - make all features individually selectable - remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options - update the documentation - fix some bugs found along the way - Fix x32 regression - Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs - Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single function from an object file. - Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on 'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple sections well, which can result in decoding failure. - Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt. object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but possible.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Comprehensive interface overhaul:
   =================================

   Objtool's interface has some issues:

     - Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to
       turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes
       objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features
       to other arches.

     - The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool
       enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several
       other features independent of that.

     - The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is
       really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options.

       The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only
       has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object
       file".

     - The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have
       surprising behavior.

   Overhaul the interface:

      - get rid of subcmds

      - make all features individually selectable

      - remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options

      - update the documentation

      - fix some bugs found along the way

 - Fix x32 regression

 - Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs

 - Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single
   function from an object file.

 - Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on
   'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple
   sections well, which can result in decoding failure.

 - Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt.
   object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but
   possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the
   way.

Make genksyms output symbol versions in the format modpost expects,
so the 'sed' is unneeded.

This commit makes *.symversions completely unneeded.

I will keep *.symversions in .gitignore and 'make clean' for a while.
Otherwise, 'git status' might be surprising.
