Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu: "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7) and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface. Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized the feature and its main motivations in the tag below. Summary: - Introduce exported symbol namespaces. This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module authors are now required to import the namespaces they need. Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst. - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there" * tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux: module: Remove leftover '#undef' from export header module: remove unneeded casts in cmp_name() module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES module: remove redundant 'depends on MODULES' module: Fix link failure due to invalid relocation on namespace offset usb-storage: export symbols in USB_STORAGE namespace usb-storage: remove single-use define for debugging docs: Add documentation for Symbol Namespaces scripts: Coccinelle script for namespace dependencies. modpost: add support for generating namespace dependencies export: allow definition default namespaces in Makefiles or sources module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS modpost: add support for symbol namespaces module: add support for symbol namespaces. export: explicitly align struct kernel_symbol module: support reading multiple values per modinfo tag

scripts: Coccinelle script for namespace dependencies.

2019-09-10T08:30:43Z

A script that uses the '.ns_deps' files generated by modpost to automatically add the required symbol namespace dependencies to each module. Usage: 1) Move some symbols to a namespace with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() or define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE 2) Run 'make' (or 'make modules') and get warnings about modules not importing that namespace. 3) Run 'make nsdeps' to automatically add required import statements to said modules. This makes it easer for subsystem maintainers to introduce and maintain symbol namespaces into their codebase.

kbuild: split final module linking out into Makefile.modfinal

2019-08-21T16:08:15Z

I think splitting the modpost and linking modules into separate Makefiles will be useful especially when more complex build steps come in. The main motivation of this commit is to integrate the proposed klp-convert feature cleanly. I moved the logging 'Building modules, stage 2.' to Makefile.modpost to avoid the code duplication although I do not know whether or not this message is needed in the first place.

kbuild: rebuild modules when module linker scripts are updated

2019-08-21T12:05:21Z

Currently, the timestamp of module linker scripts are not checked. Add them to the dependency of modules so they are correctly rebuilt. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: add [M] marker for build log of *.mod.o

2019-08-13T16:10:42Z

This builds module objects, so [M] makes sense. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Kbuild: Handle PREEMPT_RT for version string and magic

2019-08-13T16:10:42Z

Update the build scripts and the version magic to reflect when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled in the same way as CONFIG_PREEMPT is treated. The resulting version strings: Linux m 5.3.0-rc1+ #100 SMP Fri Jul 26 ... Linux m 5.3.0-rc1+ #101 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 26 ... Linux m 5.3.0-rc1+ #102 SMP PREEMPT_RT Fri Jul 26 ... The module vermagic: 5.3.0-rc1+ SMP mod_unload modversions 5.3.0-rc1+ SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 5.3.0-rc1+ SMP preempt_rt mod_unload modversions Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: revive single target %.ko

2019-08-09T16:40:25Z

I removed the single target %.ko in commit ff9b45c55b26 ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod") because the modpost stage does not work reliably. For instance, the module dependency, modversion, etc. do not work if we lack symbol information from the other modules. Yet, some people still want to build only one module in their interest, and it may be still useful if it is used within those limitations.

kbuild: modpost: do not parse unnecessary rules for vmlinux modpost

2019-07-31T15:09:49Z

Since commit ff9b45c55b26 ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), 'make vmlinux' emits a warning, like this: $ make defconfig vmlinux [ snip ] LD vmlinux.o cat: modules.order: No such file or directory MODPOST vmlinux.o MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.o KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.o LD vmlinux SORTEX vmlinux SYSMAP System.map When building only vmlinux, KBUILD_MODULES is not set. Hence, the modules.order is not generated. For the vmlinux modpost, it is not necessary at all. Separate scripts/Makefile.modpost for the vmlinux/modules stages. This works more efficiently because the vmlinux modpost does not need to include .*.cmd files.

kbuild: modpost: remove unnecessary dependency for __modpost

2019-07-31T15:09:49Z

__modpost is a phony target. The dependency on FORCE is pointless. All the objects have been built in the previous stage, so the dependency on the objects are not necessary either. Count the number of modules in a more straightforward way. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: modpost: handle KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS only for external modules

2019-07-31T15:09:49Z

KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS makes sense only when building external modules. Moreover, the modpost sets 'external_module' if the -e option is given. I replaced $(patsubst %, -e %,...) with simpler $(addprefix -e,...) while I was here. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
