<id>urn:sha1:ddf56288eebd1fe82c46fc9f693b5b18045cddb6</id>
<content type='text'>
With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to
each object file, and the functions are indirectly called during
boot. However, when code is injected to object files that are not
part of vmlinux.o, it's also not processed by objtool, which breaks
CFI hash randomization as the hashes in these files won't be
included in the .cfi_sites section and thus won't be randomized.

Similarly to commit 42633ed852de ("kbuild: Fix CFI hash
randomization with KASAN"), disable GCOV for .vmlinux.export.o and
init/version-timestamp.o to avoid emitting unnecessary functions to
object files that don't otherwise have executable code.

<content type='text'>
Clang emits a asan.module_ctor constructor to each object file
when KASAN is enabled, and these functions are indirectly called
in do_ctors. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler also emits a CFI
type hash before each address-taken global function so they can
pass indirect call checks.

However, in commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash
randomization"), x86 implemented boot time hash randomization,
which relies on the .cfi_sites section generated by objtool. As
objtool is run against vmlinux.o instead of individual object
files with X86_KERNEL_IBT (enabled by default), CFI types in
object files that are not part of vmlinux.o end up not being
included in .cfi_sites, and thus won't get randomized and trip
CFI when called.

Only .vmlinux.export.o and init/version-timestamp.o are linked
into vmlinux separately from vmlinux.o. As these files don't
contain any functions, disable KASAN for both of them to avoid
breaking hash randomization.

<title>kbuild: generate include/generated/compile.h in top Makefile</title>

Now that UTS_VERSION was separated out, this header can be generated
much earlier, and probably the top Makefile is a better place to do it
than init/Makefile.

<title>kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=2df8220cc511326508ec4da2f43ef69311bdd7b9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2df8220cc511326508ec4da2f43ef69311bdd7b9</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.

When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.

However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.

To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:

[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
    include/generated/compile.h

    include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
    vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
    some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.

[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
    from init/version.c

    init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
    directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
    determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
    they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
    timestamp.

<title>sched/preempt: Tell about PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on kernel headers</title>

<content type='text'>
Displaying "PREEMPT" on kernel headers when CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y
can be misleading for anybody involved in remote debugging because it
is then not guaranteed that there is an actual preemption behaviour. It
depends on default Kconfig or boot defined choices.

Therefore, tell about PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on static kernel headers and leave
the search for the actual preemption behaviour to browsing dmesg.

<title>kbuild: do not quote string values in include/config/auto.conf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:129ab0d2d9f38b9d43df35235fc66c6740d6928b</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit fixed up all shell scripts to not include
include/config/auto.conf.

Now that include/config/auto.conf is only included by Makefiles,
we can change it into a more Make-friendly form.

Previously, Kconfig output string values enclosed with double-quotes
(both in the .config and include/config/auto.conf):

    CONFIG_X="foo bar"

Unlike shell, Make handles double-quotes (and single-quotes as well)
verbatim. We must rip them off when used.

There are some patterns:

  [1] $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_X))
  [2] $(CONFIG_X:"%"=%)
  [3] $(subst ",,$(CONFIG_X))
  [4] $(shell echo $(CONFIG_X))

These are not only ugly, but also fragile.

[1] and [2] do not work if the value contains spaces, like
   CONFIG_X=" foo bar "

[3] does not work correctly if the value contains double-quotes like
   CONFIG_X="foo\"bar"

[4] seems to work better, but has a cost of forking a process.

Anyway, quoted strings were always PITA for our Makefiles.

This commit changes Kconfig to stop quoting in include/config/auto.conf.

These are the string type symbols referenced in Makefiles or scripts:

    ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
    ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME
    ARC_TUNE_MCPU
    BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE
    CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH
    CC_VERSION_TEXT
    CFG80211_EXTRA_REGDB_KEYDIR
    EXTRA_FIRMWARE
    EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR
    EXTRA_TARGETS
    H8300_BUILTIN_DTB
    INITRAMFS_SOURCE
    LOCALVERSION
    MODULE_SIG_HASH
    MODULE_SIG_KEY
    NDS32_BUILTIN_DTB
    NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE
    OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB
    SOC_CANAAN_K210_DTB_SOURCE
    SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
    SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS
    SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS
    TARGET_CPU
    UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST
    XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_FAMILY
    XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_HW_VER
    XTENSA_VARIANT_NAME

I checked them one by one, and fixed up the code where necessary.

<content type='text'>
Commit c597bfddc9e9 ("sched: Provide Kconfig support for default dynamic
preempt mode") changed the selectable config names for the preemption
model. This means a config file must now select

  CONFIG_PREEMPT_BEHAVIOUR=y

rather than

  CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

to get a preemptible kernel. This means all arch config files would need to
be updated - right now they'll all end up with the default
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE_BEHAVIOUR.

Rather than touch a good hundred of config files, restore usage of
CONFIG_PREEMPT{_NONE, _VOLUNTARY}. Make them configure:
o The build-time preemption model when !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
o The default boot-time preemption model when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

Add siblings of those configs with the _BUILD suffix to unconditionally
designate the build-time preemption model (PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is built with
the "highest" preemption model it supports, aka PREEMPT). Downstream
configs should by now all be depending / selected by CONFIG_PREEMPTION
rather than CONFIG_PREEMPT, so only a few sites need patching up.

scripts/mkcompile_h runs $(CC) just for getting the version string.
Reuse CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT for optimization.

For GCC, this slightly changes the version string. I do not think it
is a big deal as we do not have the defined format for LINUX_COMPILER.
In fact, the recent commit 4dcc9a88448a ("kbuild: mkcompile_h:
Include $LD version in /proc/version") added the linker version.
