moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file

2019-05-07T12:50:24Z

Problem: When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the kernel, that information is not available. Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases: 1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be passed to the kernel at boot time. 2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image. Proposal: The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate modules, we are not creating a new API. It can be easily read in the userspace: $ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo ext4.softdep=pre: crc32c ext4.license=GPL ext4.description=Fourth Extended Filesystem ext4.author=Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others ext4.alias=fs-ext4 ext4.alias=ext3 ext4.alias=fs-ext3 ext4.alias=ext2 ext4.alias=fs-ext2 md_mod.alias=block-major-9-* md_mod.alias=md md_mod.description=MD RAID framework md_mod.license=GPL md_mod.parmtype=create_on_open:bool md_mod.parmtype=start_dirty_degraded:int ...

kbuild: tolerate missing pahole when generating BTF

2019-05-06T08:18:47Z

When BTF generation is enabled through CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, scripts/link-vmlinux.sh detects if pahole version is too old and gracefully continues build process, skipping BTF generation build step. But if pahole is not available, build will still fail. This patch adds check for whether pahole exists at all and bails out gracefully, if not.

kbuild: handle old pahole more gracefully when generating BTF

2019-04-16T07:47:50Z

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled but available version of pahole is too old to support BTF generation, build script is supposed to emit warning and proceed with the build. Due to using exit instead of return from BASH function, existing handling code prematurely exits exit code 0, not completing some of the build steps. This patch fixes issue by correctly returning just from gen_btf() function only.

kbuild: add ability to generate BTF type info for vmlinux

2019-04-02T22:53:07Z

This patch adds new config option to trigger generation of BTF type information from DWARF debuginfo for vmlinux and kernel modules through pahole, which in turn relies on libbpf for btf_dedup() algorithm. The intent is to record compact type information of all types used inside kernel, including all the structs/unions/typedefs/etc. This enables BPF's compile-once-run-everywhere ([0]) approach, in which tracing programs that are inspecting kernel's internal data (e.g., struct task_struct) can be compiled on a system running some kernel version, but would be possible to run on other kernel versions (and configurations) without recompilation, even if the layout of structs changed and/or some of the fields were added, removed, or renamed. This is only possible if BPF loader can get kernel type info to adjust all the offsets correctly. This patch is a first time in this direction, making sure that BTF type info is part of Linux kernel image in non-loadable ELF section. BTF deduplication ([1]) algorithm typically provides 100x savings compared to DWARF data, so resulting .BTF section is not big as is typically about 2MB in size.

kbuild: source include/config/auto.conf instead of ${KCONFIG_CONFIG}

2019-03-13T17:39:11Z

As commit 423a8155facf ("kbuild: Fix reading of .config in link-vmlinux.sh") addressed, some shells fail to perform '.' if ${KCONFIG_CONFIG} does not contain a slash at all. Instead, we can source include/config/auto.conf, which obviously contain slashes, and we do not expect its file path overridden by a user. Perhaps, the performance might be slightly better since unset CONFIG options are stripped from include/config/auto.conf. scripts/setlocalversion already works this way.

kbuild: merge KBUILD_VMLINUX_{INIT,MAIN} into KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS

2019-01-28T00:11:17Z

The top Makefile does not need to export KBUILD_VMLINUX_INIT and KBUILD_VMLINUX_MAIN separately. Put every built-in.a into KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS. The order of $(head-y), $(init-y), $(core-y), ... is still retained. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove top-level built-in.a

2019-01-28T00:11:17Z

The symbol table in the final archive is unneeded; the linker does not require the symbol table after the --whole-archive option. Every object file in the archive is included in the link anyway. Pass thin archives from subdirectories directly to the linker, and remove the final archiving step. Fix up the document and comments as well. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Nicholas Piggin

kbuild: rename LDFLAGS to KBUILD_LDFLAGS

2018-08-23T23:22:08Z

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS. Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS. Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed. Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental override of the variable. Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the naming convention. I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system is a different world. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Reviewed-by: Palmer Dabbelt

kallsyms: remove symbol prefix support

2018-05-17T13:43:36Z

CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX was selected by BLACKFIN, METAG. They were removed by commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"), commit bb6fb6dfcc17 ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"), respectively. No more architecture enables CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX, hence the --symbol-prefix option is unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg
