kbuild: Add build salt to the kernel and modules

2018-07-17T16:18:05+00:00

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.

modpost: use strstarts() helper more widely

2018-05-17T13:44:59+00:00

Currently, strstarts() is only used in export_from_secname().
Use it more widely to improve the code readability.

modpost: pass struct elf_info pointer to get_modinfo()

2018-05-17T13:44:58+00:00

get_(next_)modinfo takes a pointer and length pair of the .modinfo
section.  Instead, pass struct elf_info pointer to reduce the number
of function arguments.

modpost: remove symbol prefix support

2018-05-17T13:43:33+00:00

CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX was selected by BLACKFIN, METAG.
They were removed by commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"),
commit bb6fb6dfcc17 ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"), respectively.

No more architecture enables CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX,
hence VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(foo) can be simplify replaced with "foo".

Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2018-01-30T03:08:02+00:00

Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another set of melted spectrum related changes:

   - Code simplifications and cleanups for RSB and retpolines.

   - Make the indirect calls in KVM speculation safe.

   - Whitelist CPUs which are known not to speculate from Meltdown and
     prepare for the new CPUID flag which tells the kernel that a CPU is
     not affected.

   - A less rigorous variant of the module retpoline check which merily
     warns when a non-retpoline protected module is loaded and reflects
     that fact in the sysfs file.

   - Prepare for Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier support.

   - Prepare for exposure of the Speculation Control MSRs to guests, so
     guest OSes which depend on those "features" can use them. Includes
     a blacklist of the broken microcodes. The actual exposure of the
     MSRs through KVM is still being worked on"
