2024-09-08kbuild: add intermediate targets for Flex/Bison in scripts/Makefile.hostMasahiro Yamada
Flex and Bison are used only for host programs. Move their intermediate target processing from scripts/Makefile.build to scripts/Makefile.host. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2024-09-07kbuild: compile constant module information only onceThomas Weißschuh
Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections. For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module and then linked into the module. However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all modules, internal and external. Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is compiled once and then linked into all modules. This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING. The modules are still relinked in this case. The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file instead of an inline string literal.

2024-09-05kbuild: rust: add `CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION`Miguel Ojeda
Now that we support several Rust versions, introduce `CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION` so that it can be used in Kconfig to enable and disable configuration options based on the `rustc` version. The approach taken resembles `pahole`'s -- see commit 613fe1692377 ("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION"), i.e. a simple version parsing without trying to identify several kinds of compilers, since so far there is only one (`rustc`). However, unlike `pahole`'s, we also print a zero if executing failed for any reason, rather than checking if the command is found and executable (which still leaves things like a file that exists and is executable, but e.g. is built for another platform [1]). An equivalent approach to the one here was also submitted for `pahole` [2].

2024-09-03kasan: simplify and clarify MakefileAndrey Konovalov
When KASAN support was being added to the Linux kernel, GCC did not yet support all of the KASAN-related compiler options. Thus, the KASAN Makefile had to probe the compiler for supported options. Nowadays, the Linux kernel GCC version requirement is 5.1+, and thus we don't need the probing of the -fasan-shadow-offset parameter: it exists in all 5.1+ GCCs. Simplify the KASAN Makefile to drop CFLAGS_KASAN_MINIMAL. Also add a few more comments and unify the indentation.

2024-09-01scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: add '-h' flagLuca Ceresoli
When no parameters are passed, the usage instructions are presented only when debuginfod-find is not found. This makes sense because with debuginfod none of the positional parameters are needed. However it means that users having debuginfod-find installed will have no chance of reading the usage text without opening the file. Many programs have a '-h' flag to get the usage, so add such a flag. Invoking 'scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh -h' will now show the usage text and exit.

2024-09-01scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: remove find_module recursion and improve error ↵Luca Ceresoli
reporting Patch series "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and usability", v2. This small series improves usability of scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh by improving the usage text and correctly reporting when modules are built without debugging symbols. This patch (of 3): The find_module() function can fail for two reasons: * the module was not found * the module was found but without debugging info In both cases the user is reported the same error: WARNING! Modules path isn't set, but is needed to parse this symbol This is misleading in case the modules path is set correctly. find_module() is currently implemented as a recursive function based on global variables in order to check up to 4 different paths. This is not straightforward to read and even less to modify. Besides, the debuginfo code at the beginning of find_module() is executed identically every time the function is entered, i.e. up to 4 times per each module search due to recursion. To be able to improve error reporting, first rewrite the find_module() function to remove recursion. The new version of the function iterates over all the same (up to 4) paths as before and for each of them does the same checks as before. At the end of the iteration it is now able to print an appropriate error message, so that has been moved from the caller into find_module(). Finally, when the module is found but without debugging info, mention the two Kconfig variables one needs to set in order to have the needed debugging symbols.

2024-09-01scripts: add macro_checker script to check unused parameters in macrosJulian Sun
Recently, I saw a patch[1] on the ext4 mailing list regarding the correction of a macro definition error. Jan mentioned that "The bug in the macro is a really nasty trap...". Because existing compilers are unable to detect unused parameters in macro definitions. This inspired me to write a script to check for unused parameters in macro definitions and to run it. Surprisingly, the script uncovered numerous issues across various subsystems, including filesystems, drivers, and sound etc. Some of these issues involved parameters that were accepted but never used, for example: #define XFS_DAENTER_DBS(mp,w) \ (XFS_DA_NODE_MAXDEPTH + (((w) == XFS_DATA_FORK) ? 2 : 0)) where mp was unused. While others are actual bugs. For example: #define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE0_SRC_REG(x) \ (ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce0_src_reg) #define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE0_DST_REG(x) \ (ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce0_dst_reg) #define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE1_SRC_REG(x) \ (ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce1_src_reg) #define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE1_DST_REG(x) \ (ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce1_dst_reg) where x was entirely unused, and instead, a local variable ab was used. I have submitted patches[2-5] to fix some of these issues, but due to the large number, many still remain unaddressed. I believe that the kernel and matainers would benefit from this script to check for unused parameters in macro definitions. It should be noted that it may cause some false positives in conditional compilation scenarios, such as #ifdef DEBUG static int debug(arg) {}; #else #define debug(arg) #endif So the caller needs to manually verify whether it is a true issue. But this should be fine, because Maintainers should only need to review their own subsystems, which typically results in only a few reports.

2024-09-01xz: adjust arch-specific options for better kernel compressionLasse Collin
Use LZMA2 options that match the arch-specific alignment of instructions. This change reduces compressed kernel size 0-2 % depending on the arch. On 1-byte-aligned x86 it makes no difference and on 4-byte-aligned archs it helps the most. Use the ARM-Thumb filter for ARM-Thumb2 kernels. This reduces compressed kernel size about 5 %.[1] Previously such kernels were compressed using the ARM filter which didn't do anything useful with ARM-Thumb2 code. Add BCJ filter support for ARM64 and RISC-V. Compared to unfiltered XZ or plain LZMA, the compressed kernel size is reduced about 5 % on ARM64 and 7 % on RISC-V. A new enough version of the xz tool is required: 5.4.0 for ARM64 and 5.6.0 for RISC-V. With an old xz version, a message is printed to standard error and the kernel is compressed without the filter. Update lib/decompress_unxz.c to match the changes to xz_wrap.sh. Update the CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ help text in init/Kconfig: - Add the RISC-V and ARM64 filters. - Clarify that the PowerPC filter is for big endian only. - Omit IA-64.

2024-09-01xz: use 128 MiB dictionary and force single-threaded modeLasse Collin
This only affects kernel image compression, not any other xz usage. Desktop kernels on x86-64 are already around 60 MiB. Using a dictionary larger than 32 MiB should have no downsides nowadays as anyone building the kernel should have plenty of RAM. 128 MiB dictionary needs 1346 MiB of RAM with xz versions 5.0.x - 5.6.x in single-threaded mode. On archs that use xz_wrap.sh, kernel decompression is done in single-call mode so a larger dictionary doesn't affect boot-time memory requirements. xz >= 5.6.0 uses multithreaded mode by default which compresses slightly worse than single-threaded mode. Kernel compression rarely used more than one thread anyway because with 32 MiB dictionary size the default block size was 96 MiB in multithreaded mode. So only a single thread was used anyway unless the kernel was over 96 MiB. Comparison to CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA: It uses "lzma -9" which mapped to 32 MiB dictionary in LZMA Utils 4.32.7 (the final release in 2008). Nowadays the lzma tool on most systems is from XZ Utils where -9 maps to 64 MiB dictionary. So using a 32 MiB dictionary with CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ may have compressed big kernels slightly worse than the old LZMA option. Comparison to CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD: zstd uses 128 MiB dictionary.

2024-09-01scripts: fix gfp-translate after ___GFP_*_BITS conversion to an enumMarc Zyngier
Richard reports that since 772dd0342727c ("mm: enumerate all gfp flags"), gfp-translate is broken, as the bit numbers are implicit, leaving the shell script unable to extract them. Even more, some bits are now at a variable location, making it double extra hard to parse using a simple shell script. Use a brute-force approach to the problem by generating a small C stub that will use the enum to dump the interesting bits. As an added bonus, we are now able to identify invalid bits for a given configuration. As an added drawback, we cannot parse include files that predate this change anymore. Tough luck.

2024-09-01kbuild: cross-compile linux-headers package when possibleMasahiro Yamada
A long standing issue in the upstream kernel packaging is that the linux-headers package is not cross-compiled. For example, you can cross-build Debian packages for arm64 by running the following command: $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg However, the generated linux-headers-*_arm64.deb is useless because the host programs in it were built for your build machine architecture (likely x86), not arm64. The Debian kernel maintains its own Makefiles to cross-compile host tools without relying on Kbuild. [1] Instead of adding such full custom Makefiles, this commit adds a small piece of code to cross-compile host programs located under the scripts/ directory. A straightforward solution is to pass HOSTCC=${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc, but it would also cross-compile scripts/basic/fixdep, which needs to be native to process the if_changed_dep macro. (This approach may work under some circumstances; you can execute foreign architecture programs with the help of binfmt_misc because Debian systems enable CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC, but it would require installing QEMU and libc for that architecture.) A trick is to use the external module build (KBUILD_EXTMOD=), which does not rebuild scripts/basic/fixdep. ${CC} needs to be able to link userspace programs (CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y). There are known limitations: - GCC plugins It would possible to rebuild GCC plugins for the target architecture by passing HOSTCXX=${CROSS_COMPILE}g++ with necessary packages installed, but gcc on the installed system emits "cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions". - objtool and resolve_btfids These are built by the tools build system. They are not covered by the current solution. The resulting linux-headers package is broken if CONFIG_OBJTOOL or CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled. I only tested this with Debian, but it should work for other package systems as well.

2024-08-19module: Split modules_install compression and in-kernel decompressionPetr Pavlu
The kernel configuration allows specifying a module compression mode. If one is selected then each module gets compressed during 'make modules_install' and additionally one can also enable support for a respective direct in-kernel decompression support. This means that the decompression support cannot be enabled without the automatic compression. Some distributions, such as the (open)SUSE family, use a signer service for modules. A build runs on a worker machine but signing is done by a separate locked-down server that is in possession of the signing key. The build invokes 'make modules_install' to create a modules tree, collects information about the modules, asks the signer service for their signature, appends each signature to the respective module and compresses all modules. When using this arrangment, the 'make modules_install' step produces unsigned+uncompressed modules and the distribution's own build recipe takes care of signing and compression later. The signing support can be currently enabled without automatically signing modules during 'make modules_install'. However, the in-kernel decompression support can be selected only after first enabling automatic compression during this step. To allow only enabling the in-kernel decompression support without the automatic compression during 'make modules_install', separate the compression options similarly to the signing options, as follows: > Enable loadable module support [*] Module compression Module compression type (GZIP) ---> [*] Automatically compress all modules [ ] Support in-kernel module decompression * "Module compression" (MODULE_COMPRESS) is a new main switch for the compression/decompression support. It replaces MODULE_COMPRESS_NONE. * "Module compression type" (MODULE_COMPRESS_<type>) chooses the compression type, one of GZ, XZ, ZSTD. * "Automatically compress all modules" (MODULE_COMPRESS_ALL) is a new option to enable module compression during 'make modules_install'. It defaults to Y. * "Support in-kernel module decompression" (MODULE_DECOMPRESS) enables in-kernel decompression.
