[ Upstream commit 712aba5543b88996bc4682086471076fbf048927 ]

As commit afa974b77128 ("kbuild: add real-prereqs shorthand for
$(filter-out FORCE,$^)") explained, $(real-prereqs) is not just a list
of objects when linking a multi-object module. If a single-object module
is turned into a multi-object module, $^ (and therefore $(real-prereqs)
as well) contains header files recorded in the *.cmd file. Such headers
must be filtered out.

Now that a DTB can be built either from a single source or multiple
source files, the same issue can occur.

Consider the following scenario:

First, foo.dtb is implemented as a single-blob device tree.

The code looks something like this:

[Sample Code 1]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb

  foo.dts:

    #include &lt;dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h&gt;
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

When it is compiled, .foo.dtb.cmd records that foo.dtb depends on
scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h.

Later, foo.dtb is split into a base and an overlay. The code looks
something like this:

[Sample Code 2]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb
      foo-dtbs := foo-base.dtb foo-addon.dtbo

  foo-base.dts:

    #include &lt;dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h&gt;
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

  foo-addon.dtso:

    /dts-v1/;
    /plugin/;
    / { };

If you rebuild foo.dtb without 'make clean', you will get this error:

    Overlay 'scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h' is incomplete

$(real-prereqs) contains not only foo-base.dtb and foo-addon.dtbo but
also scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h, which is
passed to scripts/dtc/fdtoverlay.

<content type='text'>
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.

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

<id>urn:sha1:b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0</id>
<content type='text'>
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).

<title>kbuild: use $(obj)/ instead of $(src)/ for common pattern rules</title>

in scripts/Makefile.build:

  src := $(obj)

Before changing the semantics of $(src) in the next commit, this commit
replaces $(obj)/ with $(src)/ in pattern rules where the prerequisite
might be a generated file.

C, assembly, Rust, and DTS files are sometimes generated by tools, so
they could be either generated files or real sources. The $(obj)/ prefix
works for both cases with the help of VPATH.

As mentioned above, $(obj) and $(src) are the same at this point, hence
this commit has no functional change.

I did not modify scripts/Makefile.userprogs because there is no use
case where userspace C files are generated.

scripts/Makefile.lib is included not only from scripts/Makefile.build
but also from scripts/Makefile.{vmlinux,modfinal} for building generated
C files.

In scripts/Makefile.{vmlinux,modfinal}, $(obj) and $(src) are empty.

Therefore, the header include paths:

    -I $(srctree)/$(src) -I $(objtree)/$(obj)

... become meaningless code:

    -I $(srctree)/ -I $(objtree)/

Add these paths only when 'obj' and 'src' are defined.

<title>dt-bindings: kbuild: Add separate target/dependency for processed-schema.json</title>

<content type='text'>
Running dtbs_check and dt_compatible_check targets really only depend
on processed-schema.json, but the dependency is 'dt_binding_check'. That
was sort worked around with the CHECK_DT_BINDING variable in order to
skip some of the work that 'dt_binding_check' does. It still runs the
full checks of the schemas which is not necessary and adds 10s of
seconds to the build time. That's significant when checking only a few
DTBs and with recent changes that have improved the validation time by
6-7x.

Add a new target, dt_binding_schema, which just builds
processed-schema.json and can be used as the dependency for other
targets. The scripts_dtc dependency isn't needed either as the examples
aren't built for it.

<id>urn:sha1:7a23b027ec17b2eb9c8ad9b09006502f3fa38215</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a script which produces a Flat Image Tree (FIT), a single file
containing the built kernel and associated devicetree files.
Compression defaults to gzip which gives a good balance of size and
performance.

The files compress from about 86MB to 24MB using this approach.

The FIT can be used by bootloaders which support it, such as U-Boot
and Linuxboot. It permits automatic selection of the correct
devicetree, matching the compatible string of the running board with
the closest compatible string in the FIT. There is no need for
filenames or other workarounds.

Add a 'make image.fit' build target for arm64, as well.

The FIT can be examined using 'dumpimage -l'.

This uses the 'dtbs-list' file but processes only .dtb files, ignoring
the overlay .dtbo files.

This features requires pylibfdt (use 'pip install libfdt'). It also
requires compression utilities for the algorithm being used. Supported
compression options are the same as the Image.xxx files. Use
FIT_COMPRESSION to select an algorithm other than gzip.

While FIT supports a ramdisk / initrd, no attempt is made to support
this here, since it must be built separately from the Linux build.

  Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
  the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
  for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
  so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
  make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.
