<title>modpost: Skip .llvm.call-graph-profile section check</title>

<id>1ef061a4e2648f23ab9bd996a7656675933f1c1f</id>
<content type='text'>
.llvm.call-graph-profile section is added by clang when the kernel is
built with profiles (e.g. -fprofile-sample-use= or -fprofile-use=).
Note that .llvm.call-graph-profile intentionally uses REL relocations
to decrease the object size, for more details see
https://reviews.llvm.org/D104080.

The section contains edge information derived from text sections,
so .llvm.call-graph-profile itself doesn't need more analysis as
the text sections have been analyzed.

This change fixes the kernel build with clang and a sample profile
which currently fails with:

"FATAL: modpost: Please add code to calculate addend for this architecture"

Remove the Elf_Rela variables used in the for-loop in section_rel().

This makes the code consistent; section_rel() only uses Elf_Rel,
section_rela() only uses Elf_Rela.

MIPS64 little endian target has an odd encoding of r_info.

This commit makes the special handling less ugly. It is still ugly,
but #if conditionals will go away, at least.

All of addend_*_rel() need the Elf_Rela pointer just for calculating
ELF_R_TYPE(r-&gt;r_info).

You can do it on the caller to de-duplicate the code.

<title>linux/export.h: make &lt;linux/export.h&gt; independent of CONFIG_MODULES</title>

Currently, all files with EXPORT_SYMBOL() are rebuilt when CONFIG_MODULES
is flipped due to &lt;linux/export.h&gt; depending on CONFIG_MODULES.

Now that modpost can make a final decision about export symbols,
&lt;linux/export.h&gt; does not need to make EXPORT_SYMBOL() no-op.
Instead, modpost can skip emitting KSYMTAB when CONFIG_MODULES is unset.

This commit will reduce the number of recompilation when CONFIG_MODULES
is toggled.

Currently, unknown relocation types are just skipped.

The value of r_addend is only needed to get the symbol name in case
is_valid_name(elf, sym) returns false.

Even if we do not know how to calculate r_addend, we should continue.
At worst, we will get "(unknown)" as the symbol name, but it is better
than failing to detect section mismatches.
