kbuild: move some helper headers from scripts/kconfig/ to scripts/include/

2024-07-21T14:10:43+00:00

Move array_size.h, hashtable.h, list.h, list_types.h from scripts/kconfig/
to scripts/include/.

These headers will be useful for other host programs.

Remove scripts/mod/list.h.

2024-07-16T07:07:14+00:00

/usr/include/elf.h, which originates from the glibc/musl, defines
R_ARM_THM_PC22 instead of R_ARM_THM_CALL.

modpost: remove self-definitions of R_ARM_* macros

2024-07-16T07:07:14+00:00

Commit f5983dab0ead ("modpost: define more R_ARM_* for old
distributions") added self-definitions for the R_ARM_* macros to fix
build errors on CentOS 7.

RHEL/CentOS 7 were retired at the end of June.

Remove all the R_ARM_* definitions (except for R_ARM_THM_CALL), which
should be available in recent distributions.

glibc and musl added most of R_ARM_* macros in 2013. [1] [2]

modpost: Enable section warning from *driver to .exit.text

2024-07-15T16:08:37+00:00

There used to be several offenders, but now that for all of them patches
were sent and most of them were applied, enable the warning also for
builds without W=1.

init/modpost: conditionally check section mismatch to __meminit*

2024-07-12T23:39:52+00:00

This reverts commit eb8f689046b8 ("Use separate sections for __dev/
_cpu/__mem code/data").

Check section mismatch to __meminit* only when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.

With this change, the linker script and modpost become simpler, and we
can get rid of the __ref annotations from the memory hotplug code.

modpost: do not warn about missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() for vmlinux.o

2024-06-06T23:42:31+00:00

Building with W=1 incorrectly emits the following warning:

  WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o

This check should apply only to modules.

2024-05-18T19:39:20+00:00

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Avoid 'constexpr', which is a keyword in C23

 - Allow 'dtbs_check' and 'dt_compatible_check' run independently of
   'dt_binding_check'

 - Fix weak references to avoid GOT entries in position-independent code
   generation

 - Convert the last use of 'optional' property in arch/sh/Kconfig

 - Remove support for the 'optional' property in Kconfig

 - Remove support for Clang's ThinLTO caching, which does not work with
   the .incbin directive

 - Change the semantics of $(src) so it always points to the source
   directory, which fixes Makefile inconsistencies between upstream and
   downstream

 - Fix 'make tar-pkg' for RISC-V to produce a consistent package

 - Provide reasonable default coverage for objtool, sanitizers, and
   profilers

 - Remove redundant OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc.

 - Remove the last use of tristate choice in drivers/rapidio/Kconfig

 - Various cleanups and fixes in Kconfig

Makefile: remove redundant tool coverage variables

2024-05-14T14:35:48+00:00

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and
profilers.

Remove redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV

I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel
space objects.
