Subject: [PATCH v6 00/25] Add support for Clang LTO
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2020 17:31:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201013003203.4168817-1-samitolvanen@google.com> (raw)

This patch series adds support for building the x86_64 kernel with
Clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO).

In addition to performance, the primary motivation for LTO is
to allow Clang's Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) to be used in the
kernel. Google has shipped millions of Pixel devices running three
major kernel versions with LTO+CFI since 2018.

Most of the patches are build system changes for handling LLVM
bitcode, which Clang produces with LTO instead of ELF object files,
postponing ELF processing until a later stage, and ensuring initcall
ordering.

Note that this version is based on tip/master to reduce the number
of prerequisite patches, and to make it easier to manage changes to
objtool. Patch 1 is from Masahiro's kbuild tree, and while it's not
directly related to LTO, it makes the module linker script changes
cleaner.

Furthermore, patches 2-6 include Peter's patch for generating
__mcount_loc with objtool, and build system changes to enable it on
x86. With these patches, we no longer need to annotate functions
that have non-call references to __fentry__ with LTO, which greatly
simplifies supporting dynamic ftrace.

You can also pull this series from

---
Changes in v6:

  - Added the missing --mcount flag to patch 5.

  - Dropped the arm64 patches from this series and will repost them
    later.

Changes in v5:

  - Rebased on top of tip/master.

  - Changed the command line for objtool to use --vmlinux --duplicate
    to disable warnings about retpoline thunks and to fix .orc_unwind
    generation for vmlinux.o.

  - Added --noinstr flag to objtool, so we can use --vmlinux without
    also enabling noinstr validation.

  - Disabled objtool's unreachable instruction warnings with LTO to
    disable false positives for the int3 padding in vmlinux.o.

  - Added ANNOTATE_RETPOLINE_SAFE annotations to the indirect jumps
    in x86 assembly code to fix objtool warnings with retpoline.

  - Fixed modpost warnings about missing version information with
    CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.

  - Included Makefile.lib into Makefile.modpost for ld_flags. Thanks
    to Sedat for pointing this out.

  - Updated the help text for ThinLTO to better explain the trade-offs.

  - Updated commit messages with better explanations.

Changes in v4:

  - Fixed a typo in Makefile.lib to correctly pass --no-fp to objtool.

  - Moved ftrace configs related to generating __mcount_loc to Kconfig,
    so they are available also in Makefile.modfinal.

  - Dropped two prerequisite patches that were merged to Linus' tree.

Changes in v3:

  - Added a separate patch to remove the unused DISABLE_LTO treewide,
    as filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO instead is preferred.

  - Updated the Kconfig help to explain why LTO is behind a choice
    and disabled by default.

  - Dropped CC_FLAGS_LTO_CLANG, compiler-specific LTO flags are now
    appended directly to CC_FLAGS_LTO.

  - Updated $(AR) flags as KBUILD_ARFLAGS was removed earlier.

  - Fixed ThinLTO cache handling for external module builds.

  - Rebased on top of Masahiro's patch for preprocessing modules.lds,
    and moved the contents of module-lto.lds to modules.lds.S.

  - Moved objtool_args to Makefile.lib to avoid duplication of the
    command line parameters in Makefile.modfinal.

  - Clarified in the commit message for the initcall ordering patch
    that the initcall order remains the same as without LTO.

  - Changed link-vmlinux.sh to use jobserver-exec to control the
    number of jobs started by generate_initcall_ordering.pl.

  - Dropped the x86/relocs patch to whitelist L4_PAGE_OFFSET as it's
    no longer needed with ToT kernel.

  - Disabled LTO for arch/x86/power/cpu.c to work around a Clang bug
    with stack protector attributes.

Changes in v2:

  - Fixed -Wmissing-prototypes warnings with W=1.

  - Dropped cc-option from -fsplit-lto-unit and added .thinlto-cache
    scrubbing to make distclean.

  - Added a comment about Clang >=11 being required.

  - Added a patch to disable LTO for the arm64 KVM nVHE code.

  - Disabled objtool's noinstr validation with LTO unless enabled.

  - Included Peter's proposed objtool mcount patch in the series
    and replaced recordmcount with the objtool pass to avoid
    whitelisting relocations that are not calls.

  - Updated several commit messages with better explanations.
