<title>kbuild: Disable GCOV for *.mod.o</title>

<id>urn:sha1:25a21fbb934a0d989e1858f83c2ddf4cfb2ebe30</id>
<content type='text'>
With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to each
object file, including the *.mod.o. As we filter out CC_FLAGS_CFI
for *.mod.o, the compiler won't generate type hashes for the
injected functions, and therefore indirectly calling them during
module loading trips indirect call checking.

Enabling CFI for *.mod.o isn't sufficient to fix this issue after
commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash randomization"),
as *.mod.o aren't processed by objtool, which means any hashes
emitted there won't be randomized. Therefore, in addition to
disabling CFI for *.mod.o, also disable GCOV, as the object files
don't otherwise contain any executable code.

Fixes: cf68fffb66d6 ("add support for Clang CFI")

<title>kbuild: rename cmd_$@ to savedcmd_$@ in *.cmd files</title>

<id>urn:sha1:92215e7a801da7b89037a185c98f5ebb86a415b9</id>
<content type='text'>
The cmd-check macro compares $(cmd_$@) and $(cmd_$1), but a pitfall is
that you cannot use cmd_&lt;target&gt; as the variable name for the command.

For example, the following code will not work in the top Makefile
or ./Kbuild.

    quiet_cmd_foo = GEN     $@
          cmd_foo = touch $@

    targets += foo
    foo: FORCE
            $(call if_changed,foo)

In this case, both $@ and $1 are expanded to 'foo', so $(cmd_check)
is always empty.

We do not need to use the same prefix for cmd_$@ and cmd_$1.
Rename the former to savedcmd_$@.

<title>kbuild: change module.order to list *.o instead of *.ko</title>

scripts/Makefile.build replaces the suffix .o with .ko, then
scripts/Makefile.modpost calls the sed command to change .ko back
to the original .o suffix.

Instead of converting the suffixes back-and-forth, store the .o paths
in modules.order, and replace it with .ko in 'make modules_install'.

This avoids the unneeded sed command.

Since GNU Make 4.2, $(file ...) supports the read operater '&lt;', which
is useful to read a file without forking a new process. No warning is
shown even if the input file is missing.

For older Make versions, it falls back to the cat command.

modules.order lists modules in the deterministic order (that is why
"modules order"), and there is no duplication in the list.

$(sort ) is pointless.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

Currently, modpost is executed twice; first for vmlinux, second
for modules.

This commit merges them.

Current build flow
==================

  1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
    2) link vmlinux.o
      3) modpost for vmlinux
        4) link vmlinux
          5) modpost for modules
            6) link modules (*.ko)

The build steps 1) through 6) are serialized, that is, modules are
built after vmlinux. You do not get benefits of parallel builds when
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is being run.

New build flow
==============

  1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
    2) link vmlinux.o
      3) modpost for vmlinux and modules
        4a) link vmlinux
        4b) link modules (*.ko)

In the new build flow, modpost is invoked just once.

vmlinux and modules are built in parallel. One exception is
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, where modules depend on vmlinux.

in the build system, including `Kconfig` entries related to Rust,
the Rust configuration printer and a few other bits.

<title>kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT</title>
<updated>2022-05-29T09:39:35Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Masahiro Yamada</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=c25e1c55822f9b3b53ccbf88b85644317a525752'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c25e1c55822f9b3b53ccbf88b85644317a525752</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted
to ELF.

CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.

This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look
similar with/without LTO.

The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and
how this commit is changing it.

Current build flow
==================

 [1] single-object module

                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)                     +objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c --------------------&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                              (LLVM IR)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
                                                             |
                                                 foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module
                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)         $(AR)       +objtool               $(LD)
    foo1.c -----&gt; foo1.o -----&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
    foo2.c -----&gt; foo2.o --/                                 |
                 (LLVM IR)                       foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

  One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive
  despite of its suffix.

New build flow
==============

 [1] single-object module

  Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR.
  Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO
  is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object.

               $(CC)+$(LD)+objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c ----------------------------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; foo.ko
                                        (ELF)     |      (ELF)
                                                  |
                                      foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module

  Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive,
  but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them
  into a single ELF object.

                               $(LD)
             $(CC)            +objtool          $(LD)
    foo1.c ---------&gt; foo1.o ---------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; foo.ko
                                 |      (ELF)     |      (ELF)
    foo2.c ---------&gt; foo2.o ----/                |
                     (LLVM IR)        foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)
