kbuild: modpost: Explicitly warn about unprototyped symbols

2021-06-17T01:01:05Z

One common cause of modpost version generation failures is a failure to prototype exported assembly functions - the tooling requires this for exported functions even if they are not and should not be called from C code in order to do the version mangling for symbols. Unfortunately the error message is currently rather abstruse, simply saying that "version generation failed" and even diving into the code doesn't directly show what's going on since there's several steps between the problem and it being observed. Provide an explicit hint as to the likely cause of a version generation failure to help anyone who runs into this in future more readily diagnose and fix the problem.

kbuild: add an elfnote for whether vmlinux is built with lto

2021-04-24T20:25:42Z

Currently, clang LTO built vmlinux won't work with pahole. LTO introduced cross-cu dwarf tag references and broke current pahole model which handles one cu as a time. The solution is to merge all cu's as one pahole cu as in [1]. We would like to do this merging only if cross-cu dwarf references happens. The LTO build mode is a pretty good indication for that. In earlier version of this patch ([2]), clang flag -grecord-gcc-switches is proposed to add to compilation flags so pahole could detect "-flto" and then merging cu's. This will increate the binary size of 1% without LTO though. Arnaldo suggested to use a note to indicate the vmlinux is built with LTO. Such a cheap way to get whether the vmlinux is built with LTO or not helps pahole but is also useful for tracing as LTO may inline/delete/demote global functions, promote static functions, etc. So this patch added an elfnote with a new type LINUX_ELFNOTE_LTO_INFO. The owner of the note is "Linux". With gcc 8.4.1 and clang trunk, without LTO, I got $ readelf -n vmlinux Displaying notes found in: .notes Owner Data size Description ... Linux 0x00000004 func description data: 00 00 00 00 ... With "readelf -x ".notes" vmlinux", I can verify the above "func" with type code 0x101. With clang thin-LTO, I got the same as above except the following: description data: 01 00 00 00 which indicates the vmlinux is built with LTO.

kbuild: fix false-positive modpost warning when all symbols are trimmed

2021-04-24T20:17:53Z

Nathan reports that the mips defconfig emits the following warning: WARNING: modpost: Symbol info of vmlinux is missing. Unresolved symbol check will be entirely skipped. This false-positive happens when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, but no CONFIG option is set to 'm'. Commit a0590473c5e6 ("nfs: fix PNFS_FLEXFILE_LAYOUT Kconfig default") turned the last 'm' into 'y' for the mips defconfig, and uncovered this issue. In this case, the module feature itself is enabled, but we have no module to build. As a result, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS drops all the instances of EXPORT_SYMBOL. Then, modpost wrongly assumes vmlinux is missing because vmlinux.symvers is empty. (As another false-positive case, you can create a module that does not use any symbol of vmlinux). The current behavior is to entirely suppress the unresolved symbol warnings when vmlinux is missing just because there are too many. I found the origin of this code in the historical git tree. [1] If this is a matter of noisiness, I think modpost can display the first 10 warnings, and the number of suppressed warnings at the end. You will get a bit noisier logs when you run 'make modules' without vmlinux, but such warnings are better to show because you never know the resulting modules are actually loadable or not. This commit changes the following: - If any of input *.symver files is missing, pass -w option to let the module build keep going with warnings instead of errors. - If there are too many (10+) unresolved symbol warnings, show only the first 10, and also the number of suppressed warnings.

kbuild: generate Module.symvers only when vmlinux exists

2021-04-24T20:17:02Z

The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers is missing in the kernel tree. WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing. Modules may not have dependencies or modversions. I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups for external modules by 'make defconfig && make modules_preapre'. A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers already exists in spite of its incomplete content. The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created. This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist. Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.
