[PATCH v3 00/15] kbuild: yet another series of cleanups (modpost, LTO, MODULE_REL_CRCS)

[Masahiro Yamada]

This is the third batch of cleanups in this development cycle.

Major changes in v3:

 - Generate symbol CRCs as C code, and remove CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS.

Major changes in v2:

 - V1 did not work with CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS.
   I fixed this for v2.

 - Reflect some review comments in v1

 - Refactor the code more

 - Avoid too long argument error

[PATCH v3 01/15] modpost: mitigate false-negatives for static EXPORT_SYMBOL checks

[Masahiro Yamada]

The 'static' specifier and EXPORT_SYMBOL() are an odd combination.

Since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*
functions"), modpost tries to detect it, but there are false negatives.

Here is the sample code.

[Sample 1]

  Makefile:

    obj-m += mymod1.o mymod2.o

  mymod1.c:

    #include <linux/export.h>
    #include <linux/module.h>
    static void foo(void) {}
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
    MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

  mymod2.c:

    #include <linux/module.h>
    void foo(void) {}
    MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

mymod1 exports the static symbol 'foo', but modpost cannot catch it
because it is fooled by the same name symbol in another module, mymod2.
(Without mymod2, modpost can detect the error in mymod1)

find_symbol() returns the first symbol found in the hash table with the
given name. This hash table is global, so it may return a symbol from
an unrelated module. So, a global symbol in a module may unset the
'is_static' flag of another module.

To mitigate this issue, add sym_find_with_module(), which receives the
module pointer as the second argument. If non-NULL pointer is passed, it
returns the symbol in the specified module. If NULL is passed, it is
equivalent to find_module().

Please note there are still false positives in the composite module,
like below (or when both are built-in). I have no idea how to do this
correctly.

[Sample 2]  (not fixed by this commit)

  Makefile:
    obj-m += mymod.o
    mymod-objs := mymod1.o mymod2.o

[PATCH v3 02/15] modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, enum export is tristate, but export_unknown does not make
sense in any way.

If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name
does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not
an exported symbol. The variable name just happens to start with
"__ksymtab_". Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case.

__ksymtab_* is internally by EXPORT_SYMBOL(_GPL) but somebody may
directly define a global variable with a such name, like this:

   int __ksymtab_foo;

Presumably, there is no practical issue for this, but there is no good
reason to use such a weird name.

This commit adds a new warning for such a case:

    WARNING: modpost: __ksymtab_foo: Please consider renaming. Variables starting with "__ksymtab_" is for internal use.

With pointless export_unknown removed, the license type of exported
symbols is boolean (EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).

I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. If it is true, only GPL-compat
modules can use it.

[PATCH v3 02/15] modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, enum export is tristate, but export_unknown does not make
sense in any way.

If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name
does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not
an exported symbol. The variable name just happens to start with
"__ksymtab_". Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case.

__ksymtab_* is internally by EXPORT_SYMBOL(_GPL) but somebody may
directly define a global variable with a such name, like this:

   int __ksymtab_foo;

Presumably, there is no practical issue for this, but there is no good
reason to use such a weird name.

This commit adds a new warning for such a case:

    WARNING: modpost: __ksymtab_foo: Please consider renaming. Variables starting with "__ksymtab_" is for internal use.

With pointless export_unknown removed, the license type of exported
symbols is boolean (EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).

I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. If it is true, only GPL-compat
modules can use it.

[PATCH v3 04/15] modpost: move *.mod.c generation to write_mod_c_files()

[Masahiro Yamada]

A later commit will add more code to this list_for_each_entry loop.

Before that, move the loop body into a separate helper function.

[PATCH v3 06/15] kbuild: record symbol versions in *.cmd files

[Masahiro Yamada]

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.

[PATCH v3 07/15] modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol
versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs
from them.

The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying
to change it.

Current implementation
======================
                                                           |----------|
                 embed CRC      -------------------------->| final    |
      $(CC)        $(LD)       /  |---------|              | link for |
  *.c ------> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost |              | vmlinux  |
                     /            |         |-- *.mod.c -->| or       |
     genksyms       /             |---------|              | module   |
  *.c ------> *.symversions                                |----------|

Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script
(*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object.

If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process becomes much more complex.
Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted
into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o.

However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must
embed version CRCs in objects so early.

There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and
modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last
moment.

[PATCH v3 07/15] modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol
versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs
from them.

The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying
to change it.

Current implementation
======================

  *.c ------> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost |              | vmlinux  |
                     /            |         |-- *.mod.c -->| or       |
     genksyms       /             |---------|              | module   |
  *.c ------> *.symversions                                |----------|

Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script
(*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object.

If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process becomes much more complex.
Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted
into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o.

However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must
embed version CRCs in objects so early.

There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and
modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last
moment.

[PATCH v3 08/15] kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

[Masahiro Yamada]

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.

We are ready 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-symver.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 usual,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

Please note we no longer use the linker magic. 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.

[PATCH v3 08/15] kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

[Masahiro Yamada]

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.

We are ready 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-symver.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 usual,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

Please note we no longer use the linker magic. 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.

[PATCH v3 08/15] kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

[Masahiro Yamada]

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.

We are ready 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-symver.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 usual,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

Please note we no longer use the linker magic. 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.

[PATCH v3 10/15] genksyms: adjust the output format to modpost

[Masahiro Yamada]

Make genksyms output symbol versions in the format modpost expects,
so the 'sed' is unneeded.

This commit makes *.symversions completely unneeded.

I will keep *.symversions in .gitignore and 'make clean' for a while.
Otherwise, some people might be upset with 'git status'.

[PATCH v3 10/15] genksyms: adjust the output format to modpost

[Masahiro Yamada]

Make genksyms output symbol versions in the format modpost expects,
so the 'sed' is unneeded.

This commit makes *.symversions completely unneeded.

I will keep *.symversions in .gitignore and 'make clean' for a while.
Otherwise, some people might be upset with 'git status'.

[PATCH v3 11/15] kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT

[Masahiro Yamada]

When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM bitcode 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
the same 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

                                    [+objtool]
           $(CC)                      $(LD)                $(LD)
    foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
                           (LLVM bitcode)        (ELF)       |
                                                             |
                                                 foo.mod.o --/

 [2] multi-object module
                                    [+objtool]
           $(CC)         $(AR)        $(LD)                $(LD)
    foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |
    foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/                                 |
                (LLVM bitcode)                   foo.mod.o --/

  One confusion is 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, we do not need to have the LLVM
  bitcode stage. 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)    |
                                             |
                                 foo.mod.o --/

 [2] multi-object module

  Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM bitcode into an archive,
  but there was no technical reason to do so.
  This commit just uses $(LD) to combine and convert them into a single
  ELF object.

                          [+objtool]
            $(CC)           $(LD)          $(LD)
    foo1.c -------> foo1.o -------> foo.o -------> foo.ko
                              |     (ELF)    |
    foo2.c -------> foo2.o ---/              |
                (LLVM bitcode)   foo.mod.o --/

[PATCH v3 11/15] kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT

[Masahiro Yamada]

When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM bitcode 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
the same 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

                                    [+objtool]
           $(CC)                      $(LD)                $(LD)
    foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
                           (LLVM bitcode)        (ELF)       |
                                                             |
                                                 foo.mod.o --/

 [2] multi-object module
                                    [+objtool]
           $(CC)         $(AR)        $(LD)                $(LD)
    foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |
    foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/                                 |
                (LLVM bitcode)                   foo.mod.o --/

  One confusion is 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, we do not need to have the LLVM
  bitcode stage. 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)    |
                                             |
                                 foo.mod.o --/

 [2] multi-object module

  Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM bitcode into an archive,
  but there was no technical reason to do so.
  This commit just uses $(LD) to combine and convert them into a single
  ELF object.

                          [+objtool]
            $(CC)           $(LD)          $(LD)
    foo1.c -------> foo1.o -------> foo.o -------> foo.ko
                              |     (ELF)    |
    foo2.c -------> foo2.o ---/              |
                (LLVM bitcode)   foo.mod.o --/

[PATCH v3 12/15] modpost: simplify the ->is_static initialization

[Masahiro Yamada]

->is_static is set to true at allocation, then to false if the symbol
comes from the dump file.

It is simpler to use !mod->from_dump as the init value.

[PATCH v3 13/15] modpost: use hlist for hash table implementation

[Masahiro Yamada]

Import hlist macros from include/linux/list.h to implement the hash
table in a more generic way.

While I was here, I increased the hash table size from 1024 to 8192
to decrease the hash collision.

I moved ARRAY_SIZE() from file2alias.c to modpost.h because it is needed
in modpost.c as well.

[PATCH v3 13/15] modpost: use hlist for hash table implementation

[Masahiro Yamada]

Import hlist macros from include/linux/list.h to implement the hash
table in a more generic way.

While I was here, I increased the hash table size from 1024 to 8192
to decrease the hash collision.

I moved ARRAY_SIZE() from file2alias.c to modpost.h because it is needed
in modpost.c as well.

[PATCH v3 14/15] kbuild: make built-in.a rule robust against too long argument error

[Masahiro Yamada]

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 scapability 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.

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.

[PATCH v3 14/15] kbuild: make built-in.a rule robust against too long argument error

[Masahiro Yamada]

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 scapability 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.

[PATCH v3 15/15] kbuild: make *.mod rule robust against too long argument error

[Masahiro Yamada]

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].

I merged this series into mainline and tested an Arch Linux
x86_64 configuration and Fedora aarch64 configuration with ThinLTO and
saw no new warnings or issues. Modules loaded just fine in QEMU for Arch
Linux and I did not notice any boot issues or warnings.
