kbuild: keep symbols for symbol_get() even with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

2025-02-05T16:08:58Z

Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y. symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case. Probably, this has been broken since commit dbacb0ef670d ("kconfig option for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS"). This commit addresses the issue by leveraging modpost. Symbol names passed to symbol_get() are recorded in the special .no_trim_symbol section, which is then parsed by modpost to forcibly keep such symbols. The .no_trim_symbol section is discarded by the linker scripts, so there is no impact on the size of the final vmlinux or modules. This commit cannot resolve the issue for direct calls to __symbol_get() because the symbol name is not known at compile-time. Although symbol_get() may eventually be deprecated, this workaround should be good enough meanwhile. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

modpost: Allow extended modversions without basic MODVERSIONS

2025-01-10T17:36:32Z

If you know that your kernel modules will only ever be loaded by a newer kernel, you can disable BASIC_MODVERSIONS to save space. This also allows easy creation of test modules to see how tooling will respond to modules that only have the new format. Signed-off-by: Matthew Maurer Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

modpost: Produce extended MODVERSIONS information

2025-01-10T16:25:26Z

Generate both the existing modversions format and the new extended one when running modpost. Presence of this metadata in the final .ko is guarded by CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS. We no longer generate an error on long symbols in modpost if CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is set, as they can now be appropriately encoded in the extended section. These symbols will be skipped in the previous encoding. An error will still be generated if CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is not set.

modpost: zero-pad CRC values in modversion_info array

2025-01-10T14:01:22Z

I do not think the '#' flag is useful here because adding the explicit '0x' is clearer. Add the '0' flag to zero-pad the CRC values. This change gives better alignment in the generated *.mod.c files. There is no impact to the compiled modules. [Before] $ grep -A5 modversion_info fs/efivarfs/efivarfs.mod.c static const struct modversion_info ____versions[] __used __section("__versions") = { { 0x907d14d, "blocking_notifier_chain_register" }, { 0x53d3b64, "simple_inode_init_ts" }, { 0x65487097, "__x86_indirect_thunk_rax" }, { 0x122c3a7e, "_printk" }, [After] $ grep -A5 modversion_info fs/efivarfs/efivarfs.mod.c static const struct modversion_info ____versions[] __used __section("__versions") = { { 0x0907d14d, "blocking_notifier_chain_register" }, { 0x053d3b64, "simple_inode_init_ts" }, { 0x65487097, "__x86_indirect_thunk_rax" }, { 0x122c3a7e, "_printk" }, Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

modpost: work around unaligned data access error

2024-12-28T14:31:09Z

With the latest binutils, modpost fails with a bus error on some architectures such as ARM and sparc64. Since binutils commit 1f1b5e506bf0 ("bfd/ELF: restrict file alignment for object files"), the byte offset to each section (sh_offset) in relocatable ELF is no longer guaranteed to be aligned. modpost parses MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() data structures, which are usually located in the .rodata section. If it is not properly aligned, unaligned access errors may occur. To address the issue, this commit imports the get_unaligned() helper from include/linux/unaligned.h. The get_unaligned_native() helper caters to the endianness in addition to handling the unaligned access. I slightly refactored do_pcmcia_entry() and do_input() to avoid writing back to an unaligned address. (We would need the put_unaligned() helper to do that.) The addend_*_rel() functions need similar adjustments because the .text sections are not aligned either. It seems that the .symtab, .rel.* and .rela.* sections are still aligned. Keep normal pointer access for these sections to avoid unnecessary performance costs.

modpost: refactor do_vmbus_entry()

2024-12-28T14:31:03Z

Optimize the size of guid_name[], as it only requires 1 additional byte for '\0' instead of 2. Simplify the loop by incrementing the iterator by 1 instead of 2. Remove the unnecessary TO_NATIVE() call, as the guid is represented as a byte stream. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Tested-by: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz
