Add CONFIG_ASM_MODVERSIONS. This allows to remove one if-conditional
nesting in scripts/Makefile.build.
scripts/Makefile.build is run every time Kbuild descends into a
sub-directory. So, I want to avoid $(wildcard ...) evaluation
where possible although computing $(wildcard ...) is so cheap that
it may not make measurable performance difference.

Currently, the single target build directly descends into the directory
of the target. For example,
$ make foo/bar/baz.o
... directly descends into foo/bar/.
On the other hand, the normal build usually descends one directory at
a time, i.e. descends into foo/, and then foo/bar/.
This difference causes some problems.
[1] miss subdir-asflags-y, subdir-ccflags-y in upper Makefiles
The options in subdir-{as,cc}flags-y take effect in the current
and its sub-directories. In other words, they are inherited
downward. In the example above, the single target will miss
subdir-{as,cc}flags-y if they are defined in foo/Makefile.
[2] could be built in a different directory
As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst section 4.3 says, Kbuild can
handle files that are spread over several sub-directories.
The build rule of foo/bar/baz.o may not necessarily be specified in
foo/bar/Makefile. It might be specifies in foo/Makefile as follows:
[foo/Makefile]
obj-y := bar/baz.o
This often happens when a module is so big that its source files
are divided into sub-directories.
In this case, there is no Makefile in the foo/bar/ directory, yet
the single target descends into foo/bar/, then fails due to the
missing Makefile. You can still do 'make foo/bar/' for partial
building, but cannot do 'make foo/bar/baz.s'. I believe the single
target '%.s' is a useful feature for inspecting the compiler output.
Some modules work around this issue by putting an empty Makefile
in every sub-directory.
This commit fixes those problems by making the single target build
descend in the same way as the normal build does.
Another change is the single target build will observe the CONFIG
options. Previously, it allowed users to build the foo.o even when
the corresponding CONFIG_FOO is disabled:
obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
In the new behavior, the single target build will just fail and show
"No rule to make target ..." (or "Nothing to be done for ..." if the
stale object already exists, but cannot be updated).
The disadvantage of this commit is the build speed. Now that the
single target build visits every directory and parses lots of
Makefiles, it is slower than before. (But, I hope it will not be
too slow.)

For the single target building %.symtypes from %.S, $(a_flags) is
expanded into the _KERNEL flags even if the object is a part of a
module.
$(real-obj-m:.o=.symtypes): modkern_aflags := $(KBUILD_AFLAGS_MODULE) $(AFLAGS_MODULE)
... would fix the issue, but it is not nice to duplicate similar code
for every suffix.
Implement modkern_aflags in the same way as modkern_cflags.

$(basename ...) trims the last suffix. Using it is more intuitive in
my opinion.
This pattern rule makes %.asn1.c and %.asn1.h at the same time.
Previously, the short log showed only either of them, depending on
the target file in question.
To clarify that two files are being generated by the single recipe,
I changed the log as follows:
Before:
ASN.1 crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509.asn1.c
After:
ASN.1 crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509.asn1.[ch]

Since commit ff9b45c55b ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead
of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), a module is no longer built in the following
pattern:
[Makefile]
subdir-y := some-module
[some-module/Makefile]
obj-m := some-module.o
You cannot write Makefile this way in upstream because modules.order is
not correctly generated. subdir-y is used to descend to a sub-directory
that builds tools, device trees, etc.
For external modules, the modules order does not matter. So, the
Makefile above was known to work.
I believe the Makefile should be re-written as follows:
[Makefile]
obj-m := some-module/
[some-module/Makefile]
obj-m := some-module.o
However, people will have no idea if their Makefile suddenly stops
working. In fact, I received questions from multiple people.
Show a warning for a while if obj-m is specified in a Makefile visited
by subdir-y or subdir-m.
I touched the %/ rule to avoid false-positive warnings for the single
target.

The modules.order files in directories visited by the chain of obj-y

Currently, *.mod is created as a side-effect of obj-m.
Split out *.mod as a dedicated build rule, which allows to unify
the %.c -> %.o rule, and remove the single-used-m rule.
This also makes the incremental build of allmodconfig faster because
it saves $(NM) invocation when there is no change in the module.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
The current format of *.mod is like this:
line 1: directory path to the .ko file
line 2: a list of objects linked into this module
line 3: unresolved symbols (only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y)
Now that *.mod and *.ko are created in the same directory, the line 1
provides no valuable information. It can be derived by replacing the
extension .mod with .ko. In fact, nobody uses the first line any more.
Cut down the first line.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules,
but do not link final *.ko files; it is done in the modpost.
To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR)
for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the
necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into
directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so.
Later, commit 551559e13a ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added
modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules
with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of
*.mod files.
$(MODVERDIR) has a flat directory structure, that is, *.mod files
are named only with base names. This is based on the assumption that
the module name is unique across the tree. This assumption is really
fragile.
Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name
conflict:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991
In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same
$(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously.
Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence
commit 3a48a91901 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names")
introduced a new checker script.
However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because
this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it
happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages.
To fix this issue completely, create *.mod with full directory path
so that two threads never attempt to write to the same file.
$(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed.
Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild
is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending.
I also killed cmd_secanalysis; scripts/mod/sumversion.c computes MD4 hash
for modules with MODULE_VERSION(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y,
it occurs not only in the modpost stage, but also during directory
descending, where sumversion.c may parse stale *.mod files. It would emit
'No such file or directory' warning when an object consisting a module is
renamed, or when a single-obj module is turned into a multi-obj module or
vice versa.

Currently, only the top-level modules.order drops duplicated entries.
The modules.order files in sub-directories potentially contain
duplication. To list out the paths of all modules, I want to use
modules.order instead of parsing *.mod files in $(MODVERDIR).
To achieve this, I want to rip off duplication from modules.order
of external modules too.

Removing the 'kernel/' prefix will make our life easier because we can
simply do 'cat modules.order' to get all built modules with full paths.
Currently, we parse the first line of '*.mod' files in $(MODVERDIR).
Since we have duplicated functionality here, I plan to remove MODVERDIR
entirely.
In fact, modules.order is generated also for external modules in a
broken format. It adds the 'kernel/' prefix to the absolute path of
the module, like this:
kernel//path/to/your/external/module/foo.ko
This is fine for now since modules.order is not used for external
modules. However, I want to sanitize the format everywhere towards
the goal of removing MODVERDIR.
We cannot change the format of installed module.{order,builtin}.
So, 'make modules_install' will add the 'kernel/' prefix while copying
them to $(MODLIB)/.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Currently, $(objtree)/modules.order is touched in two places.
In the 'prepare0' rule, scripts/Makefile.build creates an empty
modules.order while processing 'obj=.'
In the 'modules' rule, the top-level Makefile overwrites it with
the correct list of modules.
While this might be a good side-effect that modules.order is made
empty every time (probably this is not intended functionality),
I personally do not like this behavior.
Create modules.order only when it is sensible to do so.
This avoids creating the following pointless files:
scripts/basic/modules.order
scripts/dtc/modules.order
scripts/gcc-plugins/modules.order
scripts/genksyms/modules.order
scripts/mod/modules.order
scripts/modules.order
scripts/selinux/genheaders/modules.order
scripts/selinux/mdp/modules.order
scripts/selinux/modules.order
Going forward, $(objtree)/modules.order lists the modules that
was built in the last successful build.

header-test-y does not work with headers in sub-directories.
For example, you may want to write a Makefile, like this:
include/linux/Kbuild:
header-test-y += mtd/nand.h
This entry will create a wrapper include/linux/mtd/nand.hdrtest.c
with the following content:
#include "mtd/nand.h"
To make this work, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux to the
header search path. It would be tedious to add ccflags-y.
Instead, we could change the *.hdrtest.c rule to wrap:
#include "nand.h"
This works for in-tree build since #include "..." searches in the
relative path from the header with this directive. For O=... build,
we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux/mtd to the header search path,
which will be even more tedious.
After all, I thought it would be handier to compile headers directly
without creating wrappers.
I added a new build rule to compile %.h into %.h.s
The target is %.h.s instead of %.h.o because it is slightly faster.
Also, as for GCC, an empty assembly is smaller than an empty object.
I wrote the build rule:
$(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c /dev/null -include $<
instead of:
$(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c $<
Both work fine with GCC, but the latter is bad for Clang.
This comes down to the difference in the -Wunused-function policy.
GCC does not warn about unused 'static inline' functions at all.
Clang does not warn about the ones in included headers, but does
about the ones in the source. So, we should handle headers as
headers, not as source files.
In fact, this has been hidden since commit abb2ea7dfd ("compiler,
clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"), but we
should not rely on that.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers
remain self-contained, i.e. that they are compilable as standalone
units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on.
Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add
headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will

It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.
Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.
Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of
shell commands into a single macro:
define foo
[action1]
[action2]
[action3]
endif
Each action is executed in a separate subshell.
However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are
written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*):
define rule_cc_o_c
[action1] ; \
[action2] ; \
[action3] ;
endef
All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like
a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not
exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single
shell command can be more simply written, like this:
rule_cc_o_c = \
[action1] ; \
[action2] ; \
[action3] ;
I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the
'@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands.
We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro.
The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S
have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have
been removed.
Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and
rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell,
but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn
extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for
x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability
and maintainability wins.
[1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command
directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special
characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell
will not change the behavior.

My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include
and scripts/Makefile.build.
Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick;
possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace
EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is
post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing
is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly.
I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy
symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those
dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then
appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a
new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy
symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker
script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules.
A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will
be much faster.

Let $(CC) compile objects into normal files *.o instead of .tmp_*.o
whether CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled or not. With this, the input
file for objtool is always *.o so objtool_o can go away.
I guess the reason of using .tmp_*.o for intermediate objects was
to avoid leaving incomplete *.o file (, whose timestamp says it is
up-to-date) when the genksyms tool failed for some reasons.
It no longer matters because any targets are deleted on errors since
commit 9c2af1c737 ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target").
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Currently, fixdep writes dependencies to .*.tmp, which is renamed to
.*.cmd after everything succeeds. This is a very safe way to avoid
corrupted .*.cmd files. The if_changed_dep has carried this safety
mechanism since it was added in 2002.
If fixdep fails for some reasons or a user terminates the build while
fixdep is running, the incomplete output from the fixdep could be
troublesome.
This is my insight about some bad scenarios:
[1] If the compiler succeeds to generate *.o file, but fixdep fails
to write necessary dependencies to .*.cmd file, Make will miss
to rebuild the object when headers or CONFIG options are changed.
In this case, fixdep should not generate .*.cmd file at all so
that 'arg-check' will surely trigger the rebuild of the object.
[2] A partially constructed .*.cmd file may not be a syntactically
correct makefile. The next time Make runs, it would include it,
then fail to parse it. Once this happens, 'make clean' is be the
only way to fix it.
In fact, [1] is no longer a problem since commit 9c2af1c737 ("kbuild:
add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"). Make deletes a target file on
any failure in its recipe. Because fixdep is a part of the recipe of
*.o target, if it fails, the *.o is deleted anyway. However, I am a
bit worried about the slight possibility of [2].
So, here is a solution. Let fixdep directly write to a .*.cmd file,
but allow makefiles to include it only when its corresponding target
exists.
This effectively reverts commit 2982c95357 ("kbuild: remove redundant
$(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation"), and commit 00d78ab2ba
("kbuild: remove dead code in cmd_files calculation in top Makefile")
because now we must check the presence of targets.

Since commit c8589d1e9e ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency

Hence, $(filter %.o,$^) contains all the objects to link together,
which is much simpler than link_multi_deps calculation.
Please note $(filter-out FORCE,$^) does not work here. When a single
object module is turned into a multi object module, $^ will contain
header files that were previously included for building the single
object, and recorded in the .*.cmd file. To filter out such headers,
$(filter %.o,$^) should be used here.

He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockde and the latency tracers
just get called directly (without using the trace events).
But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely
we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs
disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required

allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes

GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
in a chain of pattern rules.
Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts
Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped
A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.
.SECONDARY
Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
files but are never automatically deleted.
.PRECIOUS
When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
if interrupted.
Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
but .PRECIOUS does not.
The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.
Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
.SECONDARY does not.
.PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c
works, but
.SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c
has no effect. However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
.PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.
The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit. $(targets)
contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files. So, the
intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there. Therefore, mark
$(targets) as .SECONDARY. It means primary targets are also marked
as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.
I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'. This
will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
not a noticeable performance issue.

Files generated by if_changed* must be added to 'targets' to include
*.cmd files. Otherwise, they would be regenerated every time.
The build system automatically adds objects to 'targets' where
appropriate, such as obj-y, extra-y, etc. but does nothing for
intermediate files. So, each Makefile needs to add them by itself.
There are some common cases where objects are generated by chained
rules. Lexers and parsers are compiled like follows:
%.lex.o <- %.lex.c <- %.l
%.tab.o <- %.tab.c <- %.y
They are common patterns, so it is reasonable to take care of them
in the core Makefile instead of requiring each Makefile to do so.
At this moment, you cannot delete 'target += zconf.lex.c' in the
Kconfig Makefile because zconf.lex.c is included from zconf.tab.c
instead of being compiled separately. It should be deleted after
Kconfig is more refactored.

When built-in.o was incrementally linked with 'ld -r', the section
mismatch analysis for the individual built-in.o was possible when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH was enabled.
With the migration to the thin archive, built-in.a (former, built-in.o)
is no longer an ELF file. So, the modpost does nothing useful.
scripts/mod/modpost.c just checks the header to bail out, as follows:
/* Is this a valid ELF file? */
if ((hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG0] != ELFMAG0) ||
(hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG1] != ELFMAG1) ||
(hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG2] != ELFMAG2) ||
(hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG3] != ELFMAG3)) {
/* Not an ELF file - silently ignore it */
return 0;
}
We have the full analysis in the final link stage anyway, so we would
not miss the section mismatching.
I do not see a good reason to require extra linking only for the
purpose of the per-directory analysis. Just get rid of this part.

However, this is not true when the same object is added multiple
times via composite objects. For example,
obj-y += foo.o bar.o
foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-only.o
bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-only.o
causes build error because two instances of foo-bar-common.o are
linked into the vmlinux.
Makefiles tend to invent ugly work-around, for example
- lib/zstd/Makefile
- drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/Makefile
The technique used in Kbuild to avoid the multiple definition error
is to use $(filter $(obj-y), $^). Here, $^ lists the names of all
the prerequisites with duplicated names removed.
By replacing it with $(filter $(real-obj-y), $^) we can do likewise
for composite objects. For built-in objects, we do not need to keep
the composite object structure. We can simply expand them, and link
$(real-obj-y) to built-in.a.

When I was refactoring Makefiles, I stupidly mistook 'real-obj-y' for
'real-objs-y' over and over again. Finally, I decide to rename it to
'real-obj-y'. This is consistent with 'obj-y', 'subdir-obj-y'.

Incremental linking is gone, so rename built-in.o to built-in.a, which
is the usual extension for archive files.
This patch does two things, first is a simple search/replace:
git grep -l 'built-in\.o' | xargs sed -i 's/built-in\.o/built-in\.a/g'
The second is to invert nesting of nested text manipulations to avoid
filtering built-in.a out from libs-y2:
-libs-y2 := $(filter-out %.a, $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(libs-y)))
+libs-y2 := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(filter-out %.a, $(libs-y)))

* Use BREs where EREs aren't necessary.
* Pass -E instead of -r to use EREs. This will be standardized in the
next POSIX revision[0]. GNU sed supports this since 4.2 (May 2009),
and busybox since 1.22.0 (Jan 2014).
* Use the [:space:] character class instead of ` \t` in bracket
expressions. In bracket expressions, POSIX says that <backslash> loses
its special meaning, so a conforming implementation cannot expand \t
to <tab>[1].
* In BREs, use interval expressions (\{n,m\}) instead of non-standard
features like \+ and \?.
* Use a loop instead of -s flag.
There are still plenty of other cases of non-standard sed invocations
(use of ERE features in BREs, in-place editing), but this fixes some
core ones.

Objtool segfaults when the gold linker is used with
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y and CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y.
With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the .o file gets passed to the linker before
being passed to objtool. The gold linker seems to strip unused ELF
symbols by default, which confuses objtool and causes the seg fault when
it's trying to generate ORC metadata.
Objtool should really be running immediately after GCC anyway, without a
linker call in between. Change the makefile ordering so that objtool is
called before the linker.

"obj-y += foo/" syntax requires Kbuild to visit the "foo" subdirectory
and link built-in.o from that directory. This means foo/Makefile is
responsible for creating built-in.o even if there is no object to
link (in this case, built-in.o is an empty archive).
We have had several fixups like commit 4b024242e8 ("kbuild: Fix
linking error built-in.o no such file or directory"), then ended up
with a complex condition as follows:
ifneq ($(strip $(obj-y) $(obj-m) $(obj-) $(subdir-m) $(lib-target)),)
builtin-target := $(obj)/built-in.o
endif
We still have more cases not covered by the above, so we need to add
obj- := dummy.o
in several places just for creating empty built-in.o.
A key point is, the parent Makefile knows whether built-in.o is needed
or not. If a subdirectory needs to create built-in.o, its parent can
tell the fact when descending.
If non-empty $(need-builtin) flag is passed from the parent, built-in.o
should be created. $(obj-y) should be still checked to support the
single target "%/". All of ugly tricks will go away.

The previous commit largely optimized the object directory creation.
We can optimize it more for incremental build.
There are already *.cmd files in the output directory. The existing
*.cmd files have been picked up by $(wildcard ...). Obviously,
directories containing them exist too, so we can skip "mkdir -p".
With this, Kbuild runs almost zero "mkdir -p" in incremental building.

For the out-of-tree build, scripts/Makefile.build creates output
directories, but this operation is not efficient.
scripts/Makefile.lib calculates obj-dirs as follows:
obj-dirs := $(dir $(multi-objs) $(obj-y))
Please notice $(sort ...) is not used here. Usually the result is
as many "./" as objects here.
For a lot of duplicated paths, the following command is invoked.
_dummy := $(foreach d,$(obj-dirs), $(shell [ -d $(d) ] || mkdir -p $(d)))
Then, the costly shell command is run over and over again.
I see many points for optimization:
[1] Use $(sort ...) to cut down duplicated paths before passing them
to system call
[2] Use single $(shell ...) instead of repeating it with $(foreach ...)
This will reduce forking.
[3] We can calculate obj-dirs more simply. Most of objects are already
accumulated in $(targets). So, $(dir $(targets)) is fine and more
comprehensive.
I also removed ugly code in arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile. This is now

For some odd historical reason, we preprocessed the linker scripts with
"-C", which keeps comments around. That makes no sense, since the
comments are not meaningful for the build anyway.
And it actually breaks things, since linker scripts can't have C++ style
"//" comments in them, so keeping comments after preprocessing now
limits us in odd and surprising ways in our header files for no good
reason.
The -C option goes back to pre-git and pre-bitkeeper times, but seems to
have been historically used (along with "-traditional") for some
odd-ball architectures (ia64, MIPS and SH). It probably didn't matter
back then either, but might possibly have been used to minimize the
difference between the original file and the pre-processed result.
The reason for this may be lost in time, but let's not perpetuate it
only because we can't remember why we did this crazy thing.
This was triggered by the recent addition of SPDX lines to the source
tree, where people apparently were confused about why header files
couldn't use the C++ comment format.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The kbuild bot occasionally reports warnings like:
drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_core.o: warning: objtool: seldo_run()+0x130: unreachable instruction
These warnings are always with GCC 4.4. That version of GCC sometimes
places unreachable instructions after calls to noreturn functions.
The unreachable warnings aren't very important anyway. Just ignore them
for old versions of GCC.

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
its removal. (Juergen Gross)

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

[ Extended the changelog. ]

Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.
However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.
As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.
Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.
Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.

The P option makes ar do full path name matching and can prevent ar
from discarding files with duplicate names in some cases of creating
thin archives from thin archives. The sh architecture in particular
loses some object files from its kernel/cpu/sh*/ directories without
this option.
This could be a bug in binutils ar, but the P option should not cause
any negative effects so it is safe to use to work around this with.
