mod-&gt;name is set to the ELF filename with the suffix ".o" stripped.

The current code calls strdup() and free() to manipulate the string,
but a simpler approach is to pass new_module() with the name length
subtracted by 2.

Also, check if the passed filename ends with ".o" before stripping it.

The current code blindly chops the suffix:

    tmp[strlen(tmp) - 2] = '\0'

It will cause buffer under-run if strlen(tmp) &lt; 2;

     other updates

   - IIO driver tree merge which includes loads of new IIO drivers and

<title>kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script instead of modpost</title>

<id>31cb50b5590fe911077b8463ad01144fac8fa4f3</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'static' specifier and EXPORT_SYMBOL() are an odd combination.

Commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*
functions") tried to detect it, but this check has false negatives.

Here is the sample code.

  Makefile:

    obj-y += foo1.o foo2.o

  foo1.c:

    #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;
    static void foo(void) {}
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

  foo2.c:

    void foo(void) {}

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
same name.

s-&gt;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
belong to the same compilation unit.

This check should be done per compilation unit, but I do not know how
to do it in modpost. modpost runs against vmlinux.o or modules, which
merges multiple objects, then forgets their origin.

modpost cannot parse individual objects because they may not be ELF but
LLVM IR when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y.

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.

Revert 15bfc2348d54.

<title>kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT</title>

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted
to ELF.

CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.

This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look
similar with/without LTO.

The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and
how this commit is changing it.

Current build flow
==================

 [1] single-object module

                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)                     +objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c --------------------&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                              (LLVM IR)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
                                                             |
                                                 foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module
                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)         $(AR)       +objtool               $(LD)
    foo1.c -----&gt; foo1.o -----&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
    foo2.c -----&gt; foo2.o --/                                 |
                 (LLVM IR)                       foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (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 ----------------------------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; 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 ---------&gt; foo1.o ---------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; foo.ko
                                 |      (ELF)     |      (ELF)
    foo2.c ---------&gt; foo2.o ----/                |
                     (LLVM IR)        foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module
                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)         $(AR)       +objtool               $(LD)
    foo1.c -----&gt; foo1.o -----&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
    foo2.c -----&gt; foo2.o --/                                 |
                 (LLVM IR)                       foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (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 ----------------------------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; 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 ---------&gt; foo1.o ---------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; foo.ko
                                 |      (ELF)     |      (ELF)
    foo2.c ---------&gt; foo2.o ----/                |
                     (LLVM IR)        foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

is equivalent to:

    }

(The else-if block can overwrite 'distance' with the same value).

Move ARRAY_SIZE() from file2alias.c to modpost.h to reuse it in
section_mismatch().

Also, move the variable 'check' inside the for-loop.

<title>modpost: fix undefined behavior of is_arm_mapping_symbol()</title>

The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$"
is passed in.

strchr(3) says:
  The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched
  character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null
  byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as
  '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is
referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).

Test code
---------

  char str1[] = "abc";
  char str2[] = "ab";

  strcpy(str1, "$");
  strcpy(str2, "$");

  printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1));
  printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));

Result
------

  test1: 0
  test2: 1
