<title>kbuild: add generic support for built-in boot DTBs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:654102df2ac2a0d02a416100c3d44ff1dae932ca</id>
<content type='text'>
Some architectures embed boot DTBs in vmlinux. A potential issue for
these architectures is a race condition during parallel builds because
Kbuild descends into arch/*/boot/dts/ twice.

One build thread is initiated by the 'dtbs' target, which is a
prerequisite of the 'all' target in the top-level Makefile:

  ifdef CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
  all: dtbs
  endif

For architectures that support the built-in boot dtb, arch/*/boot/dts/
is visited also during the ordinary directory traversal in order to
build obj-y objects that wrap DTBs.

Since these build threads are unaware of each other, they can run
simultaneously during parallel builds.

This commit introduces a generic build rule to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux
to support embedded boot DTBs in a race-free way. Architectures that
want to use this rule need to select CONFIG_GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB.

After the migration, Makefiles under arch/*/boot/dts/ will be visited
only once to build only *.dtb files.

This change also aims to unify the CONFIG options used for built-in DTBs
support. Currently, different architectures use different CONFIG options
for the same purposes.

With this commit, the CONFIG options will be unified as follows:

 - CONFIG_GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB

   This enables the generic rule for built-in boot DTBs. This will be
   renamed to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB after all architectures migrate to the
   generic rule.

 - CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME

   This specifies the path to the embedded DTB.
   (relative to arch/*/boot/dts/)

 - CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_ALL

   If this is enabled, all DTB files compiled under arch/*/boot/dts/ are
   embedded into vmlinux. Only used by MIPS.

<title>kbuild: Add generic hook for architectures to use before the final vmlinux link</title>

On powerpc, we would like to be able to make a pass on vmlinux.o and
generate a new object file to be linked into vmlinux. Add a generic pass
in Makefile.vmlinux that architectures can use for this purpose.

Architectures need to select CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_PRE_LINK_VMLINUX and must
provide arch/&lt;arch&gt;/tools/Makefile with .arch.vmlinux.o target, which
will be invoked prior to the final vmlinux link step.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
   corresponding support in LLVM.

   It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
   GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
   compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
   JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
   attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
   bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.

 - Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.

   When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
   will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
   harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.

 - Improvements and fixes for sched-ext:
    - Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
    - Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
    - Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
      jumps in variable length encoding

 - BPF_LSM related:
    - Introduce few VFS kfuncs and consolidate them in
      fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
    - Enforce correct range of return values from certain LSM hooks
    - Disallow attaching to other LSM hooks

 - Prerequisite work for upcoming Qdisc in BPF:
    - Allow kptrs in program provided structs
    - Support for gen_epilogue in verifier_ops

 - Important fixes:
    - Fix uprobe multi pid filter check
    - Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers
    - Track equal scalars history on per-instruction level
    - Fix tailcall hierarchy on x86 and arm64
    - Fix signed division overflow to prevent INT_MIN/-1 trap on x86
    - Fix get kernel stack in BPF progs attached to tracepoint:syscall

 - Selftests:
    - Add uprobe bench/stress tool
    - Generate file dependencies to drastically improve re-build time
    - Match JIT-ed and BPF asm with __xlated/__jited keywords
    - Convert older tests to test_progs framework
    - Add support for RISC-V
    - Few fixes when BPF programs are compiled with GCC-BPF backend
      (support for GCC-BPF in BPF CI is ongoing in parallel)
    - Add traffic monitor
    - Enable cross compile and musl libc

When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 is selected, pahole 1.21+ is required to enable
DEBUG_INFO_BTF.

When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 or DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT is selected,
DEBUG_INFO_BTF can be enabled without pahole installed, but a build error
will occur in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh:

    LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  BTF: .tmp_vmlinux1: pahole (pahole) is not available
  Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
  Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF

We did not guard DEBUG_INFO_BTF by PAHOLE_VERSION when previously
discussed [1].

However, commit 613fe1692377 ("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION")
added CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION after all. Now several CONFIG options, as
well as the combination of DEBUG_INFO_BTF and DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5, are
guarded by PAHOLE_VERSION.

The remaining compile-time check in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now appears
to be an awkward inconsistency.

This commit adopts Nathan's original work.

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL, which in turn
selects CONFIG_BPF.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, CONFIG_BPF=y is always met.

Remove the recently-added dependency on the truncate program for
building the kernel. truncate is not available when building the kernel
under Yocto. It could be added, but it would be better just to avoid
the unnecessary dependency.
