kbuild: provide reasonable defaults for tool coverage

2024-05-14T14:33:51Z

The objtool, sanitizers (KASAN, UBSAN, etc.), and profilers (GCOV, etc.) are intended only for kernel space objects. For instance, the following are not kernel objects, and therefore should opt out of coverage: - vDSO - purgatory - bootloader (arch/*/boot/) However, to exclude these from coverage, you need to explicitly set OBJECT_FILES_NON_STNDARD=y, KASAN_SANITIZE=n, etc. Kbuild can achieve this without relying on such variables because objects not directly linked to vmlinux or modules are considered "non-standard objects". Detecting standard objects is straightforward: - objects added to obj-y or lib-y are linked to vmlinux - objects added to obj-m are linked to modules There are some exceptional Makefiles (e.g., arch/s390/boot/Makefile, arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile) that use obj-y or lib-y for non-kernel space objects, but they can be fixed later if necessary. Going forward, objects that are not listed in obj-y, lib-y, or obj-m will opt out of objtool, sanitizers, and profilers by default. You can still override the Kbuild decision by explicitly specifying OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc. but most of such Make variables can be removed. The next commit will clean up redundant variables. Note: This commit changes the coverage for some objects: - exclude .vmlinux.export.o from UBSAN, KCOV - exclude arch/csky/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o from UBSAN - exclude arch/parisc/kernel/vdso32/vdso32.so from UBSAN - exclude arch/parisc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so from UBSAN - exclude arch/x86/um/vdso/um_vdso.o from UBSAN - exclude drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o from UBSAN, KCOV - exclude init/version-timestamp.o from UBSAN, KCOV - exclude lib/test_fortify/*.o from all santizers and profilers I believe these are positive effects.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "The most notable change is the drop of the 'alloc' in-tree fork. This is nicely reflected in the diffstat as a ~10k lines drop. In turn, this makes the version upgrades way simpler and smaller in the future, e.g. the latest one in commit 56f64b370612 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.78.0"). More importantly, this increases the chances that a newer compiler version just works, which in turn means supporting several compiler versions is easier now. Thus we will look into finally setting a minimum version in the near future. Toolchain and infrastructure: - Upgrade to Rust 1.78.0 This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove one more unstable feature ('offset_of') from the list, among other improvements - Drop 'alloc' in-tree fork of the standard library crate, which means all the unstable features used by 'alloc' (~30 language ones, ~60 library ones) are not a concern anymore - Support DWARFv5 via the '-Zdwarf-version' flag - Support zlib and zstd debuginfo compression via the '-Zdebuginfo-compression' flag 'kernel' crate: - Support allocation flags ('GFP_*'), particularly in 'Box' (via 'BoxExt'), 'Vec' (via 'VecExt'), 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc', as well as in the 'init' module APIs - Remove usage of the 'allocator_api' unstable feature - Remove 'try_' prefix in allocation APIs' names - Add 'VecExt' (an extension trait) to be able to drop the 'alloc' fork - Add the '{make,to}_{upper,lower}case()' methods to 'CStr'/'CString' - Add the 'as_ptr' method to 'ThisModule' - Add the 'from_raw' method to 'ArcBorrow' - Add the 'into_unique_or_drop' method to 'Arc' - Display column number in the 'dbg!' macro output by applying the equivalent change done to the standard library one - Migrate 'Work' to '#[pin_data]' thanks to the changes in the 'macros' crate, which allows to remove an unsafe call in its 'new' associated function - Prevent namespacing issues when using the '[try_][pin_]init!' macros by changing the generated name of guard variables - Make the 'get' method in 'Opaque' const - Implement the 'Default' trait for 'LockClassKey' - Remove unneeded 'kernel::prelude' imports from doctests - Remove redundant imports 'macros' crate: - Add 'decl_generics' to 'parse_generics()' to support default values, and use that to allow them in '#[pin_data]' Helpers: - Trivial English grammar fix Documentation: - Add section on Rust Kselftests to the 'Testing' document - Expand the 'Abstractions vs. bindings' section of the 'General Information' document" * tag 'rust-6.10' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux: (31 commits) rust: alloc: fix dangling pointer in VecExt::reserve() rust: upgrade to Rust 1.78.0 rust: kernel: remove redundant imports rust: sync: implement `Default` for `LockClassKey` docs: rust: extend abstraction and binding documentation docs: rust: Add instructions for the Rust kselftest rust: remove unneeded `kernel::prelude` imports from doctests rust: update `dbg!()` to format column number rust: helpers: Fix grammar in comment rust: init: change the generated name of guard variables rust: sync: add `Arc::into_unique_or_drop` rust: sync: add `ArcBorrow::from_raw` rust: types: Make Opaque::get const rust: kernel: remove usage of `allocator_api` unstable feature rust: init: update `init` module to take allocation flags rust: sync: update `Arc` and `UniqueArc` to take allocation flags rust: alloc: update `VecExt` to take allocation flags rust: alloc: introduce the `BoxExt` trait rust: alloc: introduce allocation flags rust: alloc: remove our fork of the `alloc` crate ...

kbuild: add 'private' to target-specific variables

2024-05-09T19:34:52Z

Currently, Kbuild produces inconsistent results in some cases. You can do an interesting experiment using the --shuffle option, which is supported by GNU Make 4.4 or later. Set CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y and CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m (or vice versa), and repeat incremental builds w/wo --shuffle=reverse. $ make [ snip ] CC arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s $ make --shuffle=reverse [ snip ] CC [M] arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s $ make [ snip ] CC arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is rebuilt every time w/wo the [M] marker. arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as built-in when it is built as a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.o, which is built-in. arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as modular when it is built as a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.o, which is a module. Another odd example is single target builds. When CONFIG_LKDTM=m, drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o can be built as built-in or modular, depending on how it is built. $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.o [ snip ] CC [M] drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o [ snip ] CC drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o is built as modular when it is built as a prerequisite of another, but built as built-in when it is a final target. The same thing happens to drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s when CONFIG_TI_EMIF_SRAM=m. $ make drivers/memory/ti-emif-sram.o [ snip ] CC [M] drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s $ make drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s [ snip ] CC drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s This is because the part-of-module=y flag defined for the modules is inherited by its prerequisites. Target-specific variables are likely intended only for local use. This commit adds 'private' to them. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier

kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory

2024-05-09T19:34:52Z

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined in scripts/Makefile.build: src := $(obj) When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically passed to the compiler. This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter. To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree. Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following meanings: $(obj) - directory in the object tree $(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit) $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced with $(src).

kbuild: rust: force `alloc` extern to allow "empty" Rust files

2024-04-25T15:34:22Z

If one attempts to build an essentially empty file somewhere in the kernel tree, it leads to a build error because the compiler does not recognize the `new_uninit` unstable feature: error[E0635]: unknown feature `new_uninit` --> :1:9 | 1 | feature(new_uninit) | ^^^^^^^^^^ The reason is that we pass `-Zcrate-attr='feature(new_uninit)'` (together with `-Zallow-features=new_uninit`) to let non-`rust/` code use that unstable feature. However, the compiler only recognizes the feature if the `alloc` crate is resolved (the feature is an `alloc` one). `--extern alloc`, which we pass, is not enough to resolve the crate. Introducing a reference like `use alloc;` or `extern crate alloc;` solves the issue, thus this is not seen in normal files. For instance, `use`ing the `kernel` prelude introduces such a reference, since `alloc` is used inside. While normal use of the build system is not impacted by this, it can still be fairly confusing for kernel developers [1], thus use the unstable `force` option of `--extern` [2] (added in Rust 1.71 [3]) to force the compiler to resolve `alloc`. This new unstable feature is only needed meanwhile we use the other unstable feature, since then we will not need `-Zcrate-attr`.

rust: upgrade to Rust 1.77.1

2024-03-29T19:12:30Z

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.76.0 to 1.77.1 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features The `offset_of` feature (single-field `offset_of!`) that we were using got stabilized in Rust 1.77.0 [3]. Therefore, now the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [4] for details. # Required changes Rust 1.77.0 merged the `unused_tuple_struct_fields` lint into `dead_code`, thus upgrading it from `allow` to `warn` [5]. In turn, this made `rustc` complain about the `ThisModule`'s pointer field being never read, but the previous patch adds the `as_ptr` method to it, needed by Binder [6], so that we do not need to locally `allow` it. # Other changes Rust 1.77.0 introduces the `--check-cfg` feature [7], for which there is a Call for Testing going on [8]. We were requested to test it and we found it useful [9] -- we will likely enable it in the future. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.
