genksyms: use getopt_long() unconditionally

2023-11-28T02:22:50Z

getopt_long() is used by various tools in the kernel (e.g. Kconfig). It should be fine to use it all the time. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

genksyms: remove the remnant of the -s option

2023-11-28T02:22:50Z

Commit 74d931716151 ("genksyms: remove symbol prefix support") removed the -s (--symbol-prefix) option. Clean up the left-over. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

genksyms: adjust the output format to modpost

2022-05-24T07:33:20Z

Make genksyms output symbol versions in the format modpost expects, so the 'sed' is unneeded. This commit makes *.symversions completely unneeded. I will keep *.symversions in .gitignore and 'make clean' for a while. Otherwise, 'git status' might be surprising.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

2022-05-24T07:33:20Z

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

genksyms: fix stale comment

2021-05-01T15:43:34Z

(shipped source) is a stale comment. Since commit 833e62245943 ("genksyms: generate lexer and parser during build instead of shipping"), there is no source file to be shipped in this directory. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

genksyms: remove useless case DOTS

2021-02-16T03:01:45Z

This switch statement does not list out all the cases. Since the 'default' covers all the rest, the 'DOTS' case is unneeded. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

genksyms: remove dead code for ST_TABLE_*

2021-02-16T03:01:45Z

No one sets lexstate to ST_TABLE_*. It is is very old code, and I do not know what was the plan at that time. Let's remove the dead code. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

genksyms: Ignore module scoped _Static_assert()

2020-12-21T04:57:08Z

The C11 _Static_assert() keyword may be used at module scope, and we need to teach genksyms about it to not abort with an error. We currently have a growing number of static_assert() (but also direct usage of _Static_assert()) users at module scope: git grep -E '^_Static_assert\(|^static_assert\(' | grep -v '^tools' | wc -l 135 More recently, when enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS with CONFIG_KCSAN, we observe a number of warnings: WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "<..all kcsan symbols..>" [vmlinux] [...] When running a preprocessed source through 'genksyms -w' a number of syntax errors point at usage of static_assert()s. In the case of kernel/kcsan/encoding.h, new static_assert()s had been introduced which used expressions that appear to cause genksyms to not even be able to recover from the syntax error gracefully (as it appears was the case previously). Therefore, make genksyms ignore all _Static_assert() and the contained expression. With the fix, usage of _Static_assert() no longer cause "syntax error" all over the kernel, and the above modpost warnings for KCSAN are gone, too.
