[PATCH 00/11] kbuild: create *.mod with directory path and remove MODVERDIR

[PATCH 00/11] kbuild: create *.mod with directory path and remove MODVERDIR

[Masahiro Yamada]

This series kills the long standing MODVERDIR.

Since MODVERDIR has a flat structure, it cannot avoid a race
condition when somebody introduces a module name conflict.

Kbuild now reads modules.order to get the list of all modules.

The post-processing/installation stages will be more robust
and simpler.

[PATCH 01/11] kbuild: do not create empty modules.order in the prepare stage

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, $(objtree)/modules.order is touched in two places.

In the 'prepare0' rule, scripts/Makefile.build creates an empty
modules.order while processing 'obj=.'

In the 'modules' rule, the top-level Makefile overwrites it with
the correct list of modules.

It might be a good side-effect that modules.order is made empty
every time (probably this is not intended functionality), but I
personally do not like this behavior.

Kbuild descends into some directories in the preparation stage,
where created modules.order files may be broken.

Export 'preparing' while running the 'prepare' target, and when it
is defined, do not touch modules.order at all.

[PATCH 02/11] kbuild: get rid of kernel/ prefix from in-tree modules.{order,builtin}

[Masahiro Yamada]

Removing the 'kernel/' prefix will make our life easier because we can
simply do 'cat modules.order' to get all built modules with full paths.

Currently, we parse the first line of '*.mod' files in $(MODVERDIR).
Since we have duplicated functionality here, I plan to remove MODVERDIR
entirely.

In fact, modules.order is generated also for external modules in a
broken format. It adds the 'kernel/' prefix to the absolute path of
the module, like this:

  kernel//path/to/your/external/module/foo.ko

This is fine for now since modules.order is not used for external
modules. However, I want to sanitize the format everywhere towards
the goal of removing MODVERDIR.

We cannot change the format of installed module.{order,builtin}.
So, 'make modules_install' will add the 'kernel/' prefix while copying
them to $(MODLIB)/.

[PATCH 03/11] kbuild: remove duplication from modules.order in sub-directories

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, only the top-level modules.order drops duplicated entries.

The modules.order files in sub-directories potentially contain
duplication. To list out the paths of all modules, I want to use
modules.order instead of parsing *.mod files in $(MODVERDIR).

To achieve this, I want to rip off duplication from modules.order
of external modules too.

[PATCH 08/11] kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIR

[Masahiro Yamada]

While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules,
but final *.ko files are linked in the modpost.

To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR)
for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the
necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into
directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so.

Later, commit 551559e13af1 ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added
modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules
with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of
*.mod files.

$(MODVERDIR) has a flat structure. This is based on the assumption
that the module name is unique. This assumption is really fragile.

Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name
conflict:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991

In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same
$(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously.

Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence
commit 3a48a91901c5 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names")
introduced a new checker script.

However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because
this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it
happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages.

To fix this issue completely, create *.mod in the same directory as
*.ko so that two threads never attempt to write to the same .mod file.
$(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed.

Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild
is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending.

[PATCH 09/11] kbuild: remove the first line of *.mod files

[Masahiro Yamada]

The current format of *.mod is like this:

  line 1: directory path to the .ko file
  line 2: a list of objects linked into this module
  line 3: unresolved symbols (only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNSED_SYMBOLS=y)

Now that *.mod and *.ko are created in the same directory, the line 1
provides no valuable information. It can be derived by replacing the
extension .mod with .ko.

Cut the first line.

[PATCH 11/11] kbuild: split out *.mod out of {single,multi}-used-m rules

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, *.mod is created as a side-effect of obj-m.

Split out *.mod as a dedicated build rule, which allows to
unify the %.c -> %.o rule, and remove the single-used-m rule.

This also makes the incremental build of allmodconfig faster because
it saves $(NM) invocation when there is no change in the module.

Did you consider the case when CONFIG_MODULES=y but no modules are 
selected? Also -r to xargs is a GNU extension and there were some 
efforts to remove theur use in the past (no idea if this is still a 
concern).

Other than that, looks good to me.

I tested it, and worked.

It worked even without '-r', so I remove it in v2

Thanks.
