2021-09-03kbuild: redo fake deps at include/ksym/*.hMasahiro Yamada
Commit 0e0345b77ac4 ("kbuild: redo fake deps at include/config/*.h") simplified the Kconfig/fixdep interaction a lot. For CONFIG_FOO_BAR_BAZ, Kconfig now touches include/config/FOO_BAR_BAZ instead of the previous include/config/foo/bar/baz.h . This commit simplifies the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS feature in a similar way: - delete .h suffix - delete tolower() - put everything in 1 directory For EXPORT_SYMBOL(FOO_BAR_BAZ), scripts/adjust_autoksyms.sh now touches include/ksym/FOO_BAR_BAZ instead of include/ksym/foo/bar/baz.h . This is more precise, avoiding possibly unnecessary rebuilds. EXPORT_SYMBOL(FOO_BAR_BAZ) EXPORT_SYMBOL(_FOO_BAR_BAZ) EXPORT_SYMBOL(__FOO_BAR_BAZ) were previously mapped to the same header, include/ksym/foo/bar/baz.h but now are handled separately.

2021-09-03kbuild: Fix 'no symbols' warning when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSD_KSYMS=yMasahiro Yamada
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, I see some warnings like this: nm: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/note.o: no symbols $NM (both GNU nm and llvm-nm) warns when no symbol is found in the object. Suppress the stderr. Fangrui Song mentioned binutils>=2.37 `nm -q` can be used to suppress "no symbols" [1], and llvm-nm>=13.0.0 supports -q as well. We cannot use it for now, but note it as a TODO.

2018-12-01kbuild: simplify dependency generation for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMSMasahiro Yamada
My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include and scripts/Makefile.build. Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick; possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly. I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules. A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will be much faster. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>
