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

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

Makefile: remove redundant tool coverage variables

2024-05-14T14:35:48Z

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and profilers. Remove redundant variables. Note: This commit changes the coverage for some objects: - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel space objects.

s390/expoline: Make modules use kernel expolines

2024-04-17T11:38:03Z

Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module builds. Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4 GB away from kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it. This simplifies build and aligns with the approach adopted by other architectures. Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev

modpost: do not make find_tosym() return NULL

2024-03-28T02:04:26Z

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. Fixes: a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()") Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

modpost: fix null pointer dereference

2024-03-18T17:30:03Z

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
