modpost: do not warn about missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() for vmlinux.o

2024-06-21T12:38:32Z

[ Upstream commit 9185afeac2a3dcce8300a5684291a43c2838cfd6 ] Building with W=1 incorrectly emits the following warning: WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o This check should apply only to modules.

modpost: fix null pointer dereference

2024-04-13T11:07:39Z

[ Upstream commit 23dfd914d2bfc4c9938b0084dffd7105de231d98 ] If the find_fromsym() call fails and returns NULL, the warn() call will dereference this NULL pointer and cause the program to crash. This happened when I tried to build with "test_user_copy" module. With this fix, it prints lots of warnings like this: WARNING: modpost: lib/test_user_copy: section mismatch in reference: (unknown)+0x4 (section: .text.fixup) -> (unknown) (section: .init.text) masahiroy@kernel.org: The issue is reproduced with ARCH=arm allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y + CONFIG_RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU=y + CONFIG_TEST_USER_COPY=m Signed-off-by: Max Kellermann Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

modpost: do not make find_tosym() return NULL

2024-04-10T14:35:47Z

[ Upstream commit 1102f9f85bf66b1a7bd6a40afb40efbbe05dfc05 ] As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler(). find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL if a better one is not found. This fixes the reported segmentation fault.

modpost: Optimize symbol search from linear to binary search

2024-04-10T14:35:47Z

[ Upstream commit 4074532758c5c367d3fcb8d124150824a254659d ] Modify modpost to use binary search for converting addresses back into symbol references. Previously it used linear search. This change saves a few seconds of wall time for defconfig builds, but can save several minutes on allyesconfigs.

modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS

2024-02-23T08:25:03Z

commit 397586506c3da005b9333ce5947ad01e8018a3be upstream. After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown) WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references section ".ltext" which is not in the list of authorized sections. If you're adding a new section and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the list of authorized sections to jump to on fault. This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c. The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and '.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large', which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text' and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

modpost: fix section mismatch message for RELA

2023-12-13T17:44:59Z

[ Upstream commit 1c4a7587d1bbee0fd53b63af60e4244a62775f57 ] The section mismatch check prints a bogus symbol name on some architectures. [test code] #include int __initdata foo; int get_foo(void) { return foo; } If you compile it with GCC for riscv or loongarch, modpost will show an incorrect symbol name: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -> done (section: .init.data) To get the correct symbol address, the st_value must be added. This issue has never been noticed since commit 93684d3b8062 ("kbuild: include symbol names in section mismatch warnings") presumably because st_value becomes zero on most architectures when the referenced symbol is looked up. It is not true for riscv or loongarch, at least. With this fix, modpost will show the correct symbol name: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data) Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

modpost: Don't let "driver"s reference .exit.*

2023-10-01T05:55:30Z

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely are not available when the code is built-in. There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64 allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for W=1 builds. The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented since commit 0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference .init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the same way. Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to find this improvement. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

linux/export: fix reference to exported functions for parisc64

2023-09-12T15:42:00Z

John David Anglin reported parisc has been broken since commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost"). Like ia64, parisc64 uses a function descriptor. The function references must be prefixed with P%. Also, symbols prefixed $$ from the library have the symbol type STT_LOPROC instead of STT_FUNC. They should be handled as functions too.
