To: linux-kbuild, LKML, linux arch
I have spent the last week (the time I can afford to
Linux stuff anyway) to improve the Section mismatch
warnings detected by modpost.
The problem until now has been that the Section
mismatch warnings were dependent on the actual
configuration of HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU and MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
In the default configuration with HOTPLUG enbaled most
of the remaining Section mismatch warnings were not
seen and thus many of us thought that everything was great.
Adrian reminded us that KCFLAGS=-fno-inline told
another story with more than 100 Section mismatch
warnings on 64 bit x86 with an allyesconfig build.
As this was not acceptable I set out to make it
less configuration dependent. To do so I quikly
relaised that modpost had to be prepared before this
was a feasible thing to implment.
This serie of patches is:
1) kbuild: fix so modpost can now check any .o file
2) kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpost
3) kbuild: code refactoring in modpost
4) kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpost
5) kbuild: check section names consistently in modpost
6) all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.h
7) compiler.h: introduce __section()
8) Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/data
Patch 6) makse a set of trivial changes in all arch vmlinux.lds.S files
and the reason why I copid linux-arch on this mail.
Patch 4) is a major change in modpost where we no longer try to
find all the good guys but instead look for the bad combinations.
This should result in a lot less false warnings and for example got
rid of an irritating warning on sparc64.
Patch 2) is important - previously modpost failed to find the
correct symbol based on address lookup because it wanted an exact
match. Allowing up to 20 bytes offset we now locate almost all
symbols and the warnings are much easier to fix.
Randy and Adrian among others have done a great job fixing
many Section mismatch warnngs over the last month.
But frankly much more people should do this and I can see people
ignoring the warnings.
Therefore the plan is to turn the warnings into hard build errors
at -rc1 time.
This should force people to actually fix the warnings they introduce.
But to do so we need the warnings we have today gettign fixed and
the new improved modpost should help you here.
To further help the plans are to:
- add a config option to enable -fno-inline (or a similar option)
- make the warnings from modpost more descriptive but longer
- maybe to spend a few hours to fix some of the obvious candidates
Less than half an hour for each warning for the trivial cases
- Maybe start using __INIT and friends in assembler code
xen had two bugs in this area recently for example.
It has been questions if it is worth the effort to fix these warnings.
Randy just fixed three oops candidates - do anyone need more facts?
And the cpu code looks rather fragile in the dead/removed CPU cases.
I see several references that will oops and is easy to fix.

It is very convinient to say:
scripts/mod/modpost mm/built-in.o
to check if any section mismatch errors occured
in mm/ (as an example).
Fix it so this is possible again.

The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.
Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.
With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.

Split a too long function up in smaller bits to make
prgram logic easier to follow.
A few related changes done due to parameter
changes.
No functional changes.

Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the
bad combinations of sections that refer to other
sections.
Compared to the previous approach we are much less
dependent on knowledge of what additional sections
the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false
positives low.
The implmentation is changed to use a table based
lookup and we now check all combinations in first
pass so we no longer need separate passes for init
and exit sections.
Tested that the same warnings are generated for
an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.
This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy
us much good.

Cc: Sam Ravnborg, Greg KH, Randy Dunlap, Adrian Bunk
Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG),
__cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch
check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual
configuration of for example HOTPLUG.
This has the effect that all users see much more
Section mismatch warnings than before because they
were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled.
The advantage of this is that when building a piece
of code then it is much more likely that the Section
mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be
felt less random of nature.

Forgot to mention that all patches are made on top of
kbuild.git but I expect then to apply to mainline with
minimal effort.
They are all pushed out to the kbuild.git tree
for easy git retrival.
Please note that I often rebase kbuild.git
without any notice.

Hi Sam,
In an ideal world, wouldn't it be better to split out section analysis into a
different helper program?
Cheers,
Rusty.

Dumb question: would it be easier to canonicalize all the section names by
removing trailing .[num]*, then using fnmatch() and standard wildcards?
The rest of the patches look really nice: thanks for doing this cleanup!

Yep - looked that up after sending the mail.
A quick test shows no diference in # of generated Section mismatch
warnings for the two - which is good.

Using your kbuild.git, these blow up for me:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds:364: ignoring invalid character `#' in script
sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds:364: ignoring invalid character `#' in script

sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds:381: ignoring invalid character `#' in script
sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds:381: ignoring invalid character `#' in script
sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds:381: ignoring invalid character `#' in script
...
This comes out as:
.text : {
*(.text.head)
. = ALIGN(8); *(.text) *(.text.init.refok) *(.exit.text.refok) *(.dev##init.text)
*(.dev##exit.text)
. = ALIGN(8); __sched_text_start = .; *(.sched.text)
__sched_text_end = .;
. = ALIGN(8); __lock_text_start = .; *(.spinlock.text)
__lock_text_end = .;
. = ALIGN(8); __kprobes_text_start = .; *(.kprobes.text)
__kprobes_text_end = .;
*(.fixup)
*(.gnu.warning)
...
so the ## is being taken directly rather than acting as a concatenation.

Strange...
I can reproduce with gcc 3.4.5 here - will fix.
Setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n for sparc64 also cause troubles. Something with local symbols discarded.
So more work is needed.

The ## operator does not work with -traditional.

OK - I was too quick it seem.
sh has:
arch/sh/Makefile:CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds := -traditional
So this needs to be ripped out as it is not needed.

Yes, that can be killed. If this is aimed at 2.6.25, I'll just kill it
off in my tree. Otherwise, feel free to roll this in to your patch set.
Your kbuild.git works fine with this applied.

It is aimed for 2.6.25 and it looks reasonable to reach that goal.
So please take this patch in your tree.

Do you know when gcc started to support
-fno-inline-functions-called-once?
I do not have anything older than 3.4.5 build here.
I should have a gcc 3.2 (Documentation/Changes)
but no at the moment.

The inline-functions-called-once optimization is only available with
unit-at-a-time, and the -fno-inline-functions-called-once option is
therefore present since gcc 3.4.

Thanks Paul,

I like this a lot. It makes things much more understandable from a
driver developer's point of view, and would allow us to mark some things
as freeable when we do not run with a CPU hotplug system :)
Feel free to add a:
Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
to the patch, if you want to take it in your tree.
thanks,

You mean at run time - I'm not sure if there's any advantage to that.
In order to free the hotplug cpu data and text, you'd have to make
those sections page aligned - and then you have the question of
how much space you are wasting in doing so. That will be variable
over time as the code changes.
Also, if you were to merge the hotplug cpu text and data to reduce
the wastage, would that cause any architectures any issues? (Thinking
about execute-only being set on the kernel's text section only, etc.)
