When debugging LLVM IR, it can be handy for clang to not discard value names used for local variables and parameters. Compare the generated IR. -fdiscard-value-names: define i32 @core_sys_select(i32 %0, ptr %1, ptr %2, ptr %3, ptr %4) { %6 = alloca i64 %7 = alloca %struct.poll_wqueues %8 = alloca [64 x i32] -fno-discard-value-names: define i32 @core_sys_select(i32 %n, ptr %inp, ptr %outp, ptr %exp, ptr %end_time) { %expire.i = alloca i64 %table.i = alloca %struct.poll_wqueues %stack_fds = alloca [64 x i32] The rule for generating human readable LLVM IR (.ll) is only useful as a debugging feature: $ make LLVM=1 fs/select.ll As Fangrui notes: A LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=off build of Clang defaults to -fdiscard-value-names. A LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=on build of Clang defaults to -fno-discard-value-names. Explicitly enable -fno-discard-value-names so that the IR always contains value names regardless of whether assertions were enabled or not. Assertions generally are not enabled in releases of clang packaged by distributions. Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1467 Reviewed-by:

The single target build has a subtle bug for the combination for an individual file and a subdirectory. [1] 'make kernel/fork.i' builds only kernel/fork.i $ make kernel/fork.i CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool CPP kernel/fork.i [2] 'make kernel/' builds only under the kernel/ directory. $ make kernel/ CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool CC kernel/fork.o CC kernel/exec_domain.o [snip] CC kernel/rseq.o AR kernel/built-in.a But, if you try to do [1] and [2] in a single command, you will get only [1] with a weird log: $ make kernel/fork.i kernel/ CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool CPP kernel/fork.i make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'kernel/'. With 'make kernel/fork.i kernel/', you should get both [1] and [2]. Rewrite the single target build. Signed-off-by:

The AWK code was added to deduplicate modules.order in case $(obj-m) contains the same module multiple times, but it is actually unneeded since commit b2c88554 ("kbuild: update modules.order only when contained modules are updated"). The list is already deduplicated before being processed by AWK because $^ is the deduplicated list of prerequisites. (Please note the real-prereqs macro uses $^) Yet, modules.order will contain duplication if two different Makefiles build the same module: foo/Makefile: obj-m += bar/baz.o foo/bar/Makefile: obj-m += baz.o However, the parallel builds cannot properly handle this case in the first place. So, it is better to let it fail (as already done by scripts/modules-check.sh). Signed-off-by:

In 22f26f21 awk was added to deduplicate *.mod files. The awk invocation passes -v RS='( |\n)' to match a space or newline character as the record separator. Unfortunately, POSIX states[1] > If RS contains more than one character, the results are unspecified. Some implementations (such as the One True Awk[2] used by the BSDs) do not treat RS as a regular expression. When awk does not support regex RS, build failures such as the following are produced (first error using allmodconfig): CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snbep.o CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_discovery.o LD [M] arch/x86/events/intel/intel-uncore.o ld: cannot find uncore_nhmex.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find uncore_snb.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find uncore_snbep.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find uncore_discovery.o: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:422: arch/x86/events/intel/intel-uncore.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events/intel] Error 2 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1839: arch/x86] Error 2 To avoid this, use printf(1) to produce a newline between each object path, instead of the space produced by echo(1), so that the default RS can be used by awk.

scripts/Makefile.build and scripts/link-vmlinux.sh have similar setups for the objtool arguments. It was difficult to factor out them because all the vmlinux build rules were written in a shell script. It is somewhat tedious to touch the two files every time a new objtool option is supported. To reduce the code duplication, move the objtool for vmlinux.o into scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o. Then, move the common macros to Makefile.lib so they are shared between Makefile.build and Makefile.vmlinux_o. Signed-off-by:

Like built-in.a, the command length of the *.mod rule scales with the depth of the directory times the number of objects in the Makefile. Add $(obj)/ by the shell command (awk) instead of by Make's builtin function. In-tree modules still have some room to the limit (ARG_MAX=2097152), but this is more future-proof for big modules in a deep directory. For example, you can build i915 as a module (CONFIG_DRM_I915=m) and compare drivers/gpu/drm/i915/.i915.mod.cmd with/without this commit. The issue is more critical for external modules because the M= path can be very long as Jeff Johnson reported before [1].

Kbuild runs at the top of objtree instead of changing the working directory to subdirectories. I think this design is nice overall but some commands have a scalability issue. The build command of built-in.a is one of them whose length scales with: O(D * N) Here, D is the length of the directory path (i.e. $(obj)/ prefix), N is the number of objects in the Makefile, O() is the big O notation. The deeper directory the Makefile directory is located, the more easily it will hit the too long argument error. We can make it better. Trim the $(obj)/ by Make's builtin function, and restore it by a shell command (sed). With this, the command length scales with: O(D + N) In-tree modules still have some room to the limit (ARG_MAX=2097152), but this is more future-proof for big modules in a deep directory. For example, you can build i915 as builtin (CONFIG_DRM_I915=y) and compare drivers/gpu/drm/i915/.built-in.a.cmd with/without this commit. Signed-off-by:

The 'static' specifier and EXPORT_SYMBOL() are an odd combination. Commit 15bfc234 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions") tried to detect it, but this check has false negatives. Here is the sample code. Makefile: obj-y += foo1.o foo2.o foo1.c: #include <linux/export.h> static void foo(void) {} EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); foo2.c: void foo(void) {} foo1.c exports the static symbol 'foo', but modpost cannot catch it because it is fooled by foo2.c, which has a global symbol with the same name. s->is_static is cleared if a global symbol with the same name is found somewhere, but EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the global symbol do not necessarily belong to the same compilation unit. This check should be done per compilation unit, but I do not know how to do it in modpost. modpost runs against vmlinux.o or modules, which merges multiple objects, then forgets their origin. modpost cannot parse individual objects because they may not be ELF but LLVM IR when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y. Add a simple bash script to parse the output from ${NM}. This works for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because llvm-nm can dump symbols of LLVM IR files. Revert 15bfc234. Signed-off-by:

When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted to ELF. CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until objects are merged together. This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look similar with/without LTO. The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and how this commit is changing it. Current build flow ================== [1] single-object module $(LD) $(CC) +objtool $(LD) foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko (LLVM IR) (ELF) | (ELF) | foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) [2] multi-object module $(LD) $(CC) $(AR) +objtool $(LD) foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko | (archive) (ELF) | (ELF) foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/ | (LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive despite of its suffix. New build flow ============== [1] single-object module Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR. Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object. $(CC)+$(LD)+objtool $(LD) foo.c ----------------------------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko (ELF) | (ELF) | foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) [2] multi-object module Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive, but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them into a single ELF object. $(LD) $(CC) +objtool $(LD) foo1.c ---------> foo1.o ---------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko | (ELF) | (ELF) foo2.c ---------> foo2.o ----/ | (LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) Signed-off-by:

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too. Signed-off-by:

When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the output from genksyms is saved in separate *.symversions files, and will be used much later when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because it is impossible to update LLVM bit code here. This approach is not robust because: - *.symversions may or may not exist. If *.symversions does not exist, we never know if it is missing for legitimate reason (i.e. no EXPORT_SYMBOL) or something bad has happened (for example, the user accidentally deleted it). Once it occurs, it is not self-healing because *.symversions is generated as a side effect. - stale (i.e. invalid) *.symversions might be picked up if an object is generated in a non-ordinary way, and corresponding *.symversions (, which was generated by old builds) just happen to exist. A more robust approach is to save symbol versions in *.cmd files because: - *.cmd always exists (if the object is generated by if_changed rule or friends). Even if the user accidentally deletes it, it will be regenerated in the next build. - *.cmd is always re-generated when the object is updated. This avoid stale version information being picked up. I will remove *.symversions later. Signed-off-by:

It is allowed to add the same objects multiple times to obj-y / obj-m: obj-y += foo.o foo.o foo.o obj-m += bar.o bar.o bar.o It is also allowed to add the same objects multiple times to a composite module: obj-m += foo.o foo-y := foo1.o foo2.o foo2.o foo1.o This flexibility is useful because the same object might be selected by different CONFIG options, like this: obj-m += foo.o foo-y := foo1.o foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_X) += foo2.o foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_Y) += foo2.o The duplicated objects are omitted at link time. It works naturally in Makefiles because GNU Make removes duplication in $^ without changing the order. It is working well, almost... A small flaw I notice is, *.mod contains duplication in such a case. This is probably not a big deal. As far as I know, the only small problem is scripts/mod/sumversion.c parses the same file multiple times. I am fixing this because I plan to reuse *.mod for other purposes, where the duplication can be problematic. The code change is quite simple. We already use awk to drop duplicated lines in modules.order (see cmd_modules_order in the same file). I copied the code, but changed RS to use spaces as record separators. I also changed the file format to list one object per line. Signed-off-by:

The *.mod files have two lines; the first line lists the member objects of the module, and the second line, if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y, lists the undefined symbols. Currently, we generate *.mod after constructing composite modules, otherwise, we cannot compute the second line. No prerequisite is required to print the first line. They are orthogonal. Splitting them into separate commands will ease further cleanups. This commit splits the list of undefined symbols out to *.usyms files. Previously, the list of undefined symbols ended up with a very long line, but now it has one symbol per line. Use sed like we did before commit 7d32358b ("kbuild: avoid split lines in .mod files").

The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is also redundant. Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which identifies a linked object. Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for manual vmlinux runs. Signed-off-by:

Now that stack validation is an optional feature of objtool, add CONFIG_OBJTOOL and replace most usages of CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION with it. CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION can now be considered to be frame-pointer specific. CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is already inherently valid for live patching, so no need to "validate" it. Signed-off-by:

Objtool has a fairly singular focus. It runs on object files and does validations and transformations which can be combined in various ways. The subcommand model has never been a good fit, making it awkward to combine and remove options. Remove the "check" and "orc" subcommands in favor of a more traditional cmdline option model. This makes it much more flexible to use, and easier to port individual features to other arches. Signed-off-by:

Split the existing options into two groups: actions, which actually do something; and options, which modify the actions in some way. Also there's no need to have short flags for all the non-action options. Reserve short flags for the more important actions. While at it: - change a few of the short flags to be more intuitive - make option descriptions more consistently descriptive - sort options in the source like they are when printed - move options to a global struct Signed-off-by:

With IBT support in, objtool is now fully capable of following vmlinux code flow in LTO mode. Start reporting unreachable warnings for Clang LTO as well. Fixes: ed53a0d9 ("x86/alternative: Use .ibt_endbr_seal to seal indirect calls") Signed-off-by:

Presumably, 'test -s $@ || rm -f $@' intends to remove the output when the genksyms command fails. It is unneeded because .DELETE_ON_ERROR automatically removes the output on failure. Signed-off-by:

The genksyms command part in cmd_gensymtypes_{c,S} is duplicated. Factor it out into the 'genksyms' macro. For the readability, I slightly refactor the arguments to genksyms. Signed-off-by:

Those were added as part of the SMAP enablement but SMAP is currently an integral part of kernel proper and there's no need to disable it anymore. Rip out that functionality. Leave --uaccess default on for objtool as this is what objtool should do by default anyway. If still needed - clearcpuid=smap. Signed-off-by:

Objtool's --ibt option generates .ibt_endbr_seal which lists superfluous ENDBR instructions. That is those instructions for which the function is never indirectly called. Overwrite these ENDBR instructions with a NOP4 such that these function can never be indirect called, reducing the number of viable ENDBR targets in the kernel. Signed-off-by:
