Hi, Willy
This is v2 of the "tools/nolibc: shrink arch support" [1].
This v2 has no core code logic change, but applies some suggestions from
Willy and Thomas, one is using post-whitespaces instead of post-tab,
another is restructuring the arch support directory and files [2].
Like musl, this v2 creates <ARCH> directory for every arch and splits
the old arch-<ARCH>.h to <ARCH>/{crt.h, sys.h} and at the same time,
splits the old arch.h to crt_arch.h and sys_arch.h. at last, only need
to include crt_arch.h in crt.h and sys_arch.h in sys.h respectively, and
no longer need to include arch.h in the other common headers:
crt.h <-- crt_arch.h <-- <ARCH>/crt.h
sys.h <-- sys_arch.h <-- <ARCH>/sys.h
It is based on the 20230705-nolibc-series2 branch of nolibc repo [3]. It
should be applied after the v6 __sysret helper series [4] and the v4
min config support series [5].
Here is the test report for all of the supported architectures:
arch/board | result
------------|------------
arm/vexpress-a9 | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
arm/virt | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
aarch64/virt | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
ppc/g3beige | not supported
ppc/ppce500 | not supported
i386/pc | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
x86_64/pc | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
mipsel/malta | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
loongarch64/virt | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
riscv64/virt | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
riscv32/virt | 0 test(s) passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed.
s390x/s390-ccw-virtio | 142 test(s) passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
Changes from v1 --> v2:
* tools/nolibc: rename arch-<ARCH>.h to <ARCH>/arch.h
tools/nolibc: split arch.h to crt.h and sys.h
Restruct the arch support directory and files.
Fix up the errors reported by scripts/checkpatch.pl.
* tools/nolibc: sys.h: remove the old sys_stat support
Rebase on the new arch support directory and files.
* tools/nolibc: crt.h: add _start_c
Move #include "compiler.h" in the common crt.h too.
* tools/nolibc: arm/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: aarch64/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: i386/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: x86_64/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: mips/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: loongarch/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: riscv/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
tools/nolibc: s390/crt.h: shrink _start with _start_c
Rebase on the new arch support directory and files.
Use post-whitespaces instead of post-tab.
Best regards,
Zhangjin

Currently, the architecture specific arch.h has two parts, one is the
syscall declarations for sys.h, another is the _start code definition
for startup support.
The coming crt.h will provide the startup support with a new common
_start_c(), it will replace most of the assembly _start code and shrink
the original _start code to be minimal, as a result, _start_c() and the
left minimal _start code will work together to provide the startup
support, therefore, the left _start code will be only required by crt.h.
So, the syscall declarations part of arch.h can be split to sys_arch.h
and the _start code part of arch.h can be split to crt_arch.h and then,
they should only be included in sys.h and crt.h respectively.
At the same time, the architecture specific arch-<ARCH>.h should be
split to <ARCH>/crt.h and <ARCH>/sys.h.
As a preparation, this creates the architecture specific directory and
moves tools/include/nolibc/arch-<ARCH>.h to
tools/include/nolibc/<ARCH>/arch.h.

For each architecture, arch.h has the syscall declarations and the
_start code definition, let's split it to sys.h and crt.h respectively:
- local : <ARCH>/arch.h -> <ARCH>/{sys.h, crt.h}
- global: arch.h -> sys_arch.h, crt_arch.h
And then, we can include the architecture specific file to the common
file like this:
- crt.h: #include "crt_arch.h"
- sys.h: #include "sys_arch.h"
At last, the "arch.h" header can be removed from all of the other
headers, instead, we only need to include "sys.h" and "crt.h" on demand.
BTW, the following errors reported by scripts/checkpatch.pl are fixed:
ERROR: space required after that ',' (ctx:VxV)

From: Zhangjin Wu @ 2023-07-08 15:28 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: w; +Cc: falcon, arnd, linux-kernel, linux-kselftest, thomas
__NR_statx has been added from v4.10:
commit a528d35e8bfc ("statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available")
It has been supported by all of the platforms since at least from v4.20
and glibc 2.28.
Let's remove the old arch related and dependent sys_stat support
completely.
This is friendly to the future new architecture porting.
Signed-off-by: Zhangjin Wu <falcon@tinylab.org>

To: w; +Cc: falcon, arnd, linux-kernel, linux-kselftest, thomas
As the environ and _auxv support added for nolibc, the assembly _start
function becomes more and more complex and therefore makes the porting
of nolibc to new architectures harder and harder.
To simplify portability, this c version of _start_c() is added to do
most of the assembly start operations in C, which reduces the complexity
a lot and will eventually simplify the porting of nolibc to the new
architectures.
The new _start_c() only requires a stack pointer argument, it will find
argv, envp and _auxv for us, and then call main(), finally, it exit()
with main's return status. With this new _start_c(), the future new
architectures only require to add very few assembly instructions.

I'm sorry but I still don't understand what it *provides*. I'm reading
it as "we *can* do this so let's do it". But what is the specific
purpose of adding this extra directory structure ? It's really unclear
to me and worries me that it'll only result in complicating maintenance
by adding even more files, thus even more "include" lines and cross
dependencies.
Zhangjin, very often in your series, the justification for a change is
missing, instead it's only explaining what is being changed, and I must
confess that it makes it particularly difficult to figure the benefits.
I'm only seeing this as an opportunity for a change ("can be split").
I could have missed something of course, but I can't figure what problem
it is trying to solve.
As a general advice, I tend to remind people that when sending a patch
series, they should consider they're trying to sell it, so they must
emphasize the benefits of accepting the series for the maintainer(s).
You very likely have a good reason for doing this but I can't see it
here so I'm just seeing a change that will possibly add some extra
cost (if at least because file locations change again) and nothing
more. When you try to reorganize things, it's often much more
efficient to try to discuss it before proposing patches, because
reorg patches are generally unreadable and take time for you to
create and for others to review. Instead, just explaining what you
think you can improve is faster for everyone, and others can chime in
and propose alternate approaches (something which is very hard to do
with a patch series).
Thanks!

I like it!
A quick test indicates that the initialization of the stackprotectors
could also be moved into the C function.
It also seems like a good opportunity to add some tests for
argv/environment variable passing.
And as general note to the full series I think that splitting the arch
files is not necessary and confusing.

The old code seems to avoid putting "environ" into the global symbol
namespace. Could this declaration be moved into the function like in
getenv()?

This will lead to conflicting declarations if the users use a different
signature. I'm not (yet?) sure how to work around this.
Also how is the case handled where main() returns "void"?
I'm not sure how this is currently handled or if the compiler takes core
of returning 0 in this case.

I looked into this some more.
The diff below allows it to accept different signatures for main().
(Maybe you can improve the naming)
Implicit return values seem to be handled by the compiler automatically.
In C89 mode we get garbage values, in C2X/C23 we get zero.
As per the respective C specs.

Willy, I was assuming you had a look at the discussion between Thomas
and me, so, I didn't add the link to our discussion, it is more about
the 'clarity' of code "include" [1].
I have proposed the idea in the discussion but got no response yet, so,
sent this revision for more discussion, obviously, it is better to
discuss more there and get more feedback from Thomas and you.
The v0 included "crt.h" before "arch.h", Thomas suggested me include
"crt.h" in arch_<ARCH>.h, just like the "compiler.h" did. His suggestion
did inspire me to think about how to treat the relationship among crt.h,
sys.h and arch.h.
The idea behind is we have many directions to divide nolibc to different
parts/modules:
- one is arch specific (arch.h) and non-arch specific (the others)
This method is used by us currently, It is very good to put all of the
arch specific parts together to simplify (in the files to be
added/maintained) the porting of a new architecture.
But to be honest, It also confuse the modularity a little, for
example, like sys.h, crt.h should be a core function/feature of
nolibc, arch.h is not so. arch.h only provides the necessary minimal
assembly "pieces".
both sys.h and crt.h are not a sub modules of arch.h (although they
have minimal arch specific code), so, like sys.h, crt.h should be
included in the top-level headers, not in arch.h, reversely, the
minimal arch specific should be included in crt.h. To do so and to
avoid include the non-crt part, the split of arch.h is required, and
therefore, the <ARCH>/ is created to put the divided <ARCH>/sys.h and
<ARCH>/crt.h, otherwise, there will be many sys-<ARCH>.h and
crt-<ARCH>.h in the top-level directory of nolibc.
- another is the parallel functions/features (like crt.h, sys.h, stack protector ...)
This is used by musl and glibc, before sending this proposal, I have
taken a look at both of them, musl is simpler and clearer, we apply
the similar method:
musl:
crt/crt1.c
#include "crt_arch.h" /* arch/<ARCH>/crt_arch.h */
void _start_c(long *p)
{
int argc = p[0];
char **argv = (void *)(p+1);
...
}
src/internal/syscall.h:
##include "syscall_arch.h" /* arch/<ARCH>/syscall_arch.h */
...
glibc: (it is more complicated than musl)
csu/libc-start.c, sysdeps/<ARCH>/start.S
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sysdep.h, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/<ARCH>/sysdep.h,
With this method, the "crt_arch.h + crt.h" together provide the C
RunTime (startup code, stack protector, environ and _auxv currently)
function, the "sys_arch.h + sys.h" together provide the syscall
definitions. The arch specific parts are hidden behind, and only
require to include the crt_arch.h in crt.h and sys_arch.h in sys.h, no
need to include the whole arch.h for all.
As a summary, the core obvious reason here is, to this crt.h itself, it
is ok for us to include crt.h in arch.h in code side, but reversely, I
do prefer to include arch.h (and therefore the crt_arch.h) in crt.h,
crt.h is the core function should be exported, arch.h is not, it only
provide some low-level helpers for crt.h. If we treat sys.h as a core
function and crt.h as a arch specific thing, it does confuse a little.
This reorg may also help the similar future functions who require arch
specific support, but of course, it does require to add/maintain more
files for a new architecture, but it also allow to develop/debug at a
smaller fineness.
In current stage, include crt.h in arch.h is not that unacceptable, but
if reorg is a better direction, why not do it currently, because we do
have two functions (crt.h and sys.h) in <ARCH>/, if only one, it is not
urgent ;-)
Is this explanation better than before? welcome to discuss more ;-)
Like musl, if required, another top-level arch/ may be required to put
all of the <ARCH>/ directories together to clean up the top-level nolibc
directory.

Willy, thanks very much for pointing out this and so sorry, "commit
message should tell why but not how" is in my mind, but sometimes, it
may be lost especially when the change list are 'huge' (must improve).
In reality, It is a little difficult to just explain it at the right
dimension for this change, so I have wrotten several versions of the
commit message for this change locally (and also for the other changes
too), at last, I choose the one currently used.
As explained in another reply, it is really hard to write a just ok
commit message for every change, sometimes, the justification is
'obvious' to some develoers who have the background information or who
have dicussed together, sometimes, it is not easy to just write
precisely about the core justification, to improve this, here is the
list I plan to do, hope it help the others too:
- discuss more before send new patches, especially for 'new' or 'big'
change
- reword carefully about every change before sending patches (show
benefits to let maintainer 'buy' (merge) them)
- send the patches not frequently, keep the mind conscious, not like a
"flood"

Great suggestion, a ping on the discussion [1] would be better than just
reorg it and send the patches. Thanks a lot.

Yes, and even further, we can do more on auxv, just like musl does in
src/env/__libc_start_main.c, not that urgent currently:
libc.auxv = auxv = (void *)(envp+i+1);
...
__hwcap = aux[AT_HWCAP];
if (aux[AT_SYSINFO]) __sysinfo = aux[AT_SYSINFO];
...
libc.page_size = aux[AT_PAGESZ];
if (!pn) pn = (void*)aux[AT_EXECFN];
if (!pn) pn = "";
__progname = __progname_full = pn;
for (i=0; pn[i]; i++) if (pn[i]=='/') __progname = pn+i+1;
__init_tls(aux);
__init_ssp((void *)aux[AT_RANDOM]);
if (aux[AT_UID]==aux[AT_EUID] && aux[AT_GID]==aux[AT_EGID]
&& !aux[AT_SECURE]) return;
...
libc.secure = 1;

Ok, welcome to discuss more in this thread:

ok, do you mean just move it to stdlib.h like this? I moved _auxv (used
by getauxv()) to stdlib.h too:
tools/nolibc: move environ and _auxv from crt.h to stdlib.h
Move the definitions of environ and _auxv from crt.h to stdlib.h, where
the place who uses those definitions.
- getenv uses environ
- getauxv uses _auxcv

Do you mean the main() without an explicit "return 0"?
int main(int argc, char *argv[], char **envp)
{
printf("Hello\n");
}
Tested c89, c99, c2x, c23, gnu11, the same result as yours:
std | return value
----------|------------
c89 | 6 /* return value of printf() */
c99 | 0 /* set by compiler with: xorl %eax, %eax */
c2x | 0
gnu11 | 0

void main(void)
{
printf("Hello\n");
}
Tested c89, c99, c2x, c23, gnu11, the same result as yours, the return
value is 6, the return value is the return status of the last called
functon.
Thanks,

With tests I mean nolibc-test.c to make sure we don't introduce any
regressions.
Only some tiny testcases to validate that argv and environ are picked
up correctly by the startup code on all arches.

Nevermind, I got confused by the in-function declaration of
"extern char **environ" inside "getenv()".
Actually this in-function declaration doesn't do anything and can be
dropped.

I thought about this general problem and it turns out that there is
nothing that any libc can do to distinguish these special cases.

To be honest I got overwhelmed at some point and instead of figuring out
to which series' I already responded and which not I only responded to
those where I had time to do so immediately.
Keeping the amount of in-flight serieses lower would help this.

In musl crt_arch.h seems to be used in different ways. So it makes sense
to split it from syscall_arch.h. In nolibc there is no such distinction.
And everything will end up in a global namespace anyways.

Personally I'm not convinced :-)
The arch-specific code in nolibc in mainline is currentl ~200 lines per
arch. With this series in general it will be even less.
If at some point there are many more architectures it may make sense to
introduce an arch/ directory then.

At the moment in mainline there are 26 files in nolibc.
That does not seem excessive, in fact it looks to be less than most
other kernel directories.

Thomas, seems we already have some testcases for argv, environ and auxv

chdir_root <-- chdir(getenv("PWD"))

+1 on this. First it's difficult for me to assign contiguous time on
the subject so I can't grasp all series at once, and I'm terribly bad
at context-switching, which takes even more time and induces confusion.
Less topics at once, more focused with less reviews of reorganizations
will definitely help.

Again above I'm seeing an opportunity but no explanation of why this
is needed. Thomas already mentioned that you're speaking about just
trying to factor out a few tens of lines. I'm not seeing *why* we
need to re-split everything yet again.

But that's precisely the principle: keep arch-specific stuff as minimal
as possible, keep most of the rest generic but easily overloadable if
needed as we know that archs are not all 1:1 equivalent.

Why ? Keep in mind that these are only include files, to in the end,
*all* of them are included. The ordering is the only thing that really
matters.

Then doesn't it prove that you don't need that crt-<ARCH>.h and that
instead it should just be in arch-<ARCH> like the rest of the same arch ?

Exactly. Musl is musl and nolibc is nolibc. Musl is a regular libc in that
it provides a .so that is built from many .c files. As such it's desirable
to split along certain edges. nolibc contains no single C file. It's only
meant to be included as-is in the user's C file. This changes a lot of
things, even in terms of splitting. Also keep in mind that musl is a
general-purpose libc, and that some distros are entirely built on it.
nolibc doesn't have such goal nor expectation, the first user was a
preinit code I wrote long ago, and the second one is rcutorture which
contains a while() loop around gettimeofday() IIRC. We must not just
blindly imitate other components' choices because they work, when we're
dealing with different constraints. If ours are acceptable, no need to
complicate everything.

Everything is included all the time. *everything*. The more files we
create, the more "#ifdef FOO_H" gets evaluated, and the more maintenance
burden it adds.

Indeed :-) Note that it started with a single one!

Sometimes yes, but most of the series come with propositions to improve
something. The commits making the major changes (and the cover letter)
should justify why this is a desirable change, what it implies not to
have it and what it may imply to have it, what possible alternatives
were considered and dropped sometimes (e.g. when hesitating between two
approaches), etc.

This patchset applies the same principle but mixes some other

Yeah, I know this. The only thing confused me is the relationship among
crt.h, sys.h and arch.h, the include position should better reflects
their relationship, currently, we have mixed two "divide" methods
together, one is arch and non-arch, another is the parallel
functions/features.
so, the only left question is where should we include crt.h in? Firstly,
I put it like sys.h (In my mind, it should be), If you two both agree to
put it in arch-<ARCH.h>, I will renew this series with it, this is
definitely a lighter way than the reorg method, I don't persist ;-)

Willy, I know the difference between musl and nolibc, the musl code
referenced here is only used to clear my confusion about "the
relationship among crt.h, sys.h and arch.h" I mentiond above.
BTW, I do think nolibc have more using scenes, I like it very much and
have used it in my own "Linux Lab" open source project [1] to let it
work as the minimal rootfs to speed up kernel features learning and
development, I do like the 'kernel-only deployments' feature behind
nolibc [2], although there is something like "Unikernel Linux" [3], but
that differs from a normal Linux system and is more complicated ;-)
I'm even imaging using it with a pure-header shell and a pure-header gui
to let them further work together as a tiny rtos ;-)

We have 8 now, the maximum may be 'ls -d arch/*/ | wc -l', it is 22

Yeah, I learned the history, but I do think we will have more, as the

Ok.

Then let's start this way. And if later we find a better organization
*and* a good reason to change it, we can do it. Please also keep in mind
that constantly renaming/moving inflicts extra pain to the stable team
when backporting fixes if any. That's another reason for not moving code
around often.

OK, but even so, our includes are "private" and do not necessarily need
to be organized like other projects. That doesn't mean that good ideas
from other ones should not help us decide, of course, I just mean that
it's normal to see differences.

I'm not denying the possibilities for other use cases. I still have
somewhere a small 1MB kernel image+rootfs that is sufficient to SSH into
remotely or download and flash a firmware image over tftp/http/serial,
so I see pretty well how this can be useful, and suspect this could
eventually happen again. But doing incremental changes that don't seem
to go in a particular direction is not much helpful and complicates
participation from everyone.
However of course, if someone comes and say "I'd like to use it in this
or that environment but for this I need all that", it's easier to follow
and try to steer in a direction that adapts smoothly to all users' needs.
Another point, please also remember that we moved it into the kernel to
help those who need to adjust their tests easily contribute the missing
calls (like you did for a number of things). But I tend to think that as
long as it's in the kernel, the activity should remain related to the
kernel usage. If you have bigger plans for a much larger project, the
kernel's process will slow you down and you'll experience some rejection
for breaking certain principles, so in this case such work would better
be done outside (after re-updating the original repo that I left rot for
a while).

Yes but I'm not convinced that all of them will be ported there, for
various reasons ranging from lack of interest or lack of use cases, to
lack of maintainer time.

Sure, but it grew fast thanks to being easy to understand and locate
stuff. This should be seen as a feature I guess.
Cheers,
Willy
