kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S. For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL(). The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages. When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section. For example, EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE); will be encoded into the following assembly code: .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_foo: .asciz "" /* license */ .asciz "" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad foo /* symbol reference */ .previous .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_bar: .asciz "GPL" /* license */ .asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad bar /* symbol reference */ .previous They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script. Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the .export_symbol section, and generates the final C code: KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", ""); KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE"); KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module. With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S files, providing the following benefits. [1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file. arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner. Commit 22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation. Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition in *.S files. It was a nice improvement. However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() for data objects on some architectures. In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not), and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly. There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL: EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S) EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S) They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", ""); KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", ""); The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as KSYMTAB_FUNC(). EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated. [2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> There are two similar header implementations: include/linux/export.h for .c files include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they tend to diverge. Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did not support the namespace for *.S files. This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files. <asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of <linux/export.h> for a while. They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all replaced with #include <linux/export.h>. [3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit) When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.

module: use relative references for __ksymtab entries An ordinary arm64 defconfig build has ~64 KB worth of __ksymtab entries, each consisting of two 64-bit fields containing absolute references, to the symbol itself and to a char array containing its name, respectively. When we build the same configuration with KASLR enabled, we end up with an additional ~192 KB of relocations in the .init section, i.e., one 24 byte entry for each absolute reference, which all need to be processed at boot time. Given how the struct kernel_symbol that describes each entry is completely local to module.c (except for the references emitted by EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself), we can easily modify it to contain two 32-bit relative references instead. This reduces the size of the __ksymtab section by 50% for all 64-bit architectures, and gets rid of the runtime relocations entirely for architectures implementing KASLR, either via standard PIE linking (arm64) or using custom host tools (x86). Note that the binary search involving __ksymtab contents relies on each section being sorted by symbol name. This is implemented based on the input section names, not the names in the ksymtab entries, so this patch does not interfere with that. Given that the use of place-relative relocations requires support both in the toolchain and in the module loader, we cannot enable this feature for all architectures. So make it dependent on whether CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS is defined.

For example, arch/arm/config/multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS produces the following false-positives: WARNING: "__lshrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__ashrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_lasr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_llsr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "ftrace_set_clr_event" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__muldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_ulcmp" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__ucmpdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_lmul" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__bswapsi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__bswapdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__ashldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_llsl" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) The root cause of the problem is not in the modpost, but in the implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS. If there is at least one untrimmed symbol in the file, genksyms is invoked to calculate CRC of *all* the exported symbols in that file even if some of them have been trimmed due to no caller existing. As a result, .tmp_*.ver files contain CRC of trimmed symbols, thus unneeded, orphan __crc* symbols are added to objects. It had been harmless until recently. With commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions"), it is now harmful because the bogus __crc* symbols make modpost call sym_update_crc() to add the symbols to the hash table, but there is no one that clears the ->is_static member. I gave Fixes to the first commit that uncovered the issue, but the potential problem has long existed since commit f235541699bc ("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").

kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S. For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL(). The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages. When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section. For example, EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE); will be encoded into the following assembly code: .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_foo: .asciz "" /* license */ .asciz "" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad foo /* symbol reference */ .previous .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_bar: .asciz "GPL" /* license */ .asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad bar /* symbol reference */ .previous They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script. Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the .export_symbol section, and generates the final C code: KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", ""); KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE"); KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module. With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S files, providing the following benefits. [1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file. arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner. Commit 22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation. Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition in *.S files. It was a nice improvement. However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() for data objects on some architectures. In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not), and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly. There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL: EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S) EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S) They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", ""); KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", ""); The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as KSYMTAB_FUNC(). EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated. [2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> There are two similar header implementations: include/linux/export.h for .c files include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they tend to diverge. Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did not support the namespace for *.S files.

However, unlike config options, we cannot just use fixdep to parse the source code for EXPORT_SYMBOL(ksym) because several variants exist and parsing them all in a separate tool, and keeping it in synch, is not trivially maintainable. Furthermore, there are variants such as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_user_read_config_##size); that are instanciated via a macro for which we can't easily determine the actual exported symbol name(s) short of actually running the preprocessor on them. Storing the symbol name string in a special ELF section doesn't work for targets that output assembly or preprocessed source. So the best way is really to leverage the preprocessor by having it output actual symbol names anchored by a special sequence that can be easily filtered out. Then the list of symbols is simply fed to fixdep to be merged with the other dependencies. That implies the preprocessor is executed twice for each source file. A previous attempt relied on a warning pragma for each EXPORT_SYMBOL() instance that was filtered apart from stderr by the build system with a sed script during the actual compilation pass. Unfortunately the preprocessor/compiler diagnostic output isn't stable between versions and this solution, although more efficient, was deemed too fragile. Because of the lowercasing performed by fixdep, there might be name collisions triggering spurious rebuilds for similar symbols. But this shouldn't be a big issue in practice.

When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section. For example, EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE); will be encoded into the following assembly code: .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_foo: .asciz "" /* license */ .asciz "" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad foo /* symbol reference */ .previous .section ".export_symbol","a" __export_symbol_bar: .asciz "GPL" /* license */ .asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */ .balign 8 .quad bar /* symbol reference */ .previous They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script. Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the .export_symbol section, and generates the final C code: KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", ""); KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE"); KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module. With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S files, providing the following benefits. [1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file. arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner. Commit 22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation. Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition in *.S files. It was a nice improvement. However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() for data objects on some architectures. In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not), and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly. There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL: EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S) EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S) They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", ""); KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", ""); The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as KSYMTAB_FUNC(). EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated. [2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> There are two similar header implementations: include/linux/export.h for .c files include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they tend to diverge. Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did not support the namespace for *.S files. This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files. <asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of <linux/export.h> for a while. They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all replaced with #include <linux/export.h>. [3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit) When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.

module: add support for symbol namespaces. The EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL() macros can be used to export a symbol to a specific namespace. There are no _GPL_FUTURE and _UNUSED variants because these are currently unused, and I'm not sure they are necessary. I didn't add EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for ASM exports; this patch sets the namespace of ASM exports to NULL by default. In case of relative references, it will be relocatable to NULL. If there's a need, this should be pretty easy to add. A module that wants to use a symbol exported to a namespace must add a MODULE_IMPORT_NS() statement to their module code; otherwise, modpost will complain when building the module, and the kernel module loader will emit an error and fail when loading the module. MODULE_IMPORT_NS() adds a modinfo tag 'import_ns' to the module. That tag can be observed by the modinfo command, modpost and kernel/module.c at the time of loading the module. The ELF symbols are renamed to include the namespace with an asm label; for example, symbol 'usb_stor_suspend' in namespace USB_STORAGE becomes 'usb_stor_suspend.USB_STORAGE'. This allows modpost to do namespace checking, without having to go through all the effort of parsing ELF and relocation records just to get to the struct kernel_symbols. On x86_64 I saw no difference in binary size (compression), but at runtime this will require a word of memory per export to hold the namespace. An alternative could be to store namespaced symbols in their own section and use a separate 'struct namespaced_kernel_symbol' for that section, at the cost of making the module loader more complex.

export: Make CRCs robust to symbol trimming The CRC calculation done by genksyms is triggered when the parser hits EXPORT_SYMBOL*() macros. At this point, genksyms recursively expands the types, and uses that as the input for the CRC calculation. In the case of forward-declared structs, the type expands to 'UNKNOWN'. Next, the result of the expansion of each type is cached, and is re-used when/if the same type is seen again for another exported symbol in the file. Unfortunately, this can cause CRC 'stability' issues when a struct definition becomes visible in the middle of a C file. For example, let's assume code with the following pattern: struct foo; int bar(struct foo *arg) { /* Do work ... */ } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bar); /* This contains struct foo's definition */ #include "foo.h" int baz(struct foo *arg) { /* Do more work ... */ } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(baz); Here, baz's CRC will be computed using the expansion of struct foo that was cached after bar's CRC calculation ('UNKOWN' here). But if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bar) is removed from the file (because of e.g. symbol trimming using CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS), struct foo will be expanded late, during baz's CRC calculation, which now has visibility over the full struct definition, hence resulting in a different CRC for baz. This can cause annoying issues for distro kernel (such as the Android Generic Kernel Image) which use CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST. Indeed, as per the above, adding a symbol to the whitelist can change the CRC of symbols that are already kept exported. As such, modules built against a kernel with a trimmed ABI may not load against the same kernel built with an extended whitelist, even though they are still strictly binary compatible. While rebuilding the modules would obviously solve the issue, I believe this classifies as an odd genksyms corner case, and it gets in the way of kernel updates in the GKI context. To work around the issue, make sure to keep issuing the __GENKSYMS_EXPORT_SYMBOL macros for all trimmed symbols, hence making the genksyms parsing insensitive to symbol trimming.

export.h, genksyms: do not make genksyms calculate CRC of trimmed symbols Arnd Bergmann reported false-positive modpost warnings detected by his randconfig testing of linux-next. Actually, this happens under the combination of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions"). For example, arch/arm/config/multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS produces the following false-positives: WARNING: "__lshrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__ashrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_lasr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_llsr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "ftrace_set_clr_event" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__muldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_ulcmp" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__ucmpdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_lmul" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__bswapsi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__bswapdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__ashldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) WARNING: "__aeabi_llsl" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown) The root cause of the problem is not in the modpost, but in the implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS. If there is at least one untrimmed symbol in the file, genksyms is invoked to calculate CRC of *all* the exported symbols in that file even if some of them have been trimmed due to no caller existing. As a result, .tmp_*.ver files contain CRC of trimmed symbols, thus unneeded, orphan __crc* symbols are added to objects. It had been harmless until recently. With commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions"), it is now harmful because the bogus __crc* symbols make modpost call sym_update_crc() to add the symbols to the hash table, but there is no one that clears the ->is_static member. I gave Fixes to the first commit that uncovered the issue, but the potential problem has long existed since commit f235541699bc ("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").
