kbuild: run the checker after the compiler -
To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs'
to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them
because there is no dependency.There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of
another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when
Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile).The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host
programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need
to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'.This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand.
The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds
bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast,
programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y'
so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles.userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

strsep() is neither standard C nor POSIX and used outside
the kernel code here. Using it here requires that the
build host supports it out of the box which is e.g.
not true for a Darwin build host and using a cross-compiler.
This leads to:scripts/mod/modpost.c:145:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strsep' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
return strsep(stringp, "\n");
^and a segfault when running MODPOST.
See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7219504
So let's replace this by strchr() instead of using strsep().
It does not hurt kernel size or speed since this code is run
on the build host.Fixes: ac5100f5432967 ("modpost: add read_text_file() and get_line() helpers")

Now that is_vmlinux() is called only in new_module(), we can inline

new_module() conditionally strips the .o because the modname has .o
suffix when it is called from read_symbols(), but no .o when it is
called from read_dump().It is clearer to strip .o in read_symbols().

The meaning of 'skip' is obscure since it does not explain
"what to skip".mod->skip is set when it is vmlinux or the module info came from
a dump file.So, mod->skip is equivalent to (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump).
For the check in write_namespace_deps_files(), mod->is_vmlinux is
unneeded because the -d option is not passed in the first pass of
modpost.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

check_exports() is never called for vmlinux because mod->skip is set

Previously, there were two cases where mod->is_dot_o is unset:
[1] the executable 'vmlinux' in the second pass of modpost
[2] modules loaded by read_dump()I think [1] was intended usage to distinguish 'vmlinux.o' and 'vmlinux'.
Now that modpost does not parse the executable 'vmlinux', this case
does not happen.[2] is obscure, maybe a bug. Module.symver stores module paths without
extension. So, none of modules loaded by read_dump() has the .o suffix,
and new_module() unsets ->is_dot_o. Anyway, it is not a big deal because
handle_symbol() is not called for the case.To sum up, all the parsed ELF files are .o files.
mod->is_dot_o is unneeded.

get_next_line() is no longer used. Remove.
grab_file() and release_file() are only used in modpost.c. Make them

-
grab_file() mmaps a file, but it is not so efficient here because
get_next_line() copies every line to the temporary buffer anyway.read_text_file() and get_line() are simpler. get_line() exploits the
library function strchr().Going forward, the missing *.symvers or *.cmd is a fatal error.
This should not happen because scripts/Makefile.modpost guards the
-i option files with $(wildcard $(input-symdump)).Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
-
One problem of grab_file() is that it cannot distinguish the following
two cases:- It cannot read the file (the file does not exist, or read permission
is not set)- It can read the file, but the file size is zero
This is because grab_file() calls mmap(), which requires the mapped
length is greater than 0. Hence, grab_file() fails for both cases.If an empty header file were included for checksum calculation, the
following warning would be printed:WARNING: modpost: could not open ...: Invalid argument
An empty file is a valid source file, so it should not fail.
Use read_text_file() instead. It can read a zero-length file.
Then, parse_file() will succeed with doing nothing.Going forward, the first case (it cannot read the file) is a fatal
error. If the source file from which an object was compiled is missing,
something went wrong.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
-
I do not know how reliably this function works, but it looks dangerous
to me.strchr(sources, '\n');
... continues searching until it finds '\n' or it reaches the '\0'
terminator. In other words, 'sources' should be a null-terminated
string.However, grab_file() just mmaps a file, so 'sources' is not terminated
with null byte. If the file does not contain '\n' at all, strchr() will
go beyond the mmap'ed memory.Use read_text_file(), which loads the file content into a malloc'ed
buffer, appending null byte.Here we are interested only in the first line of *.mod files. Use
get_line() helper to get the first line.This also makes missing *.mod file a fatal error.
Commit 4be40e22233c ("kbuild: do not emit src version warning for
non-modules") ignored missing *.mod files.I do not fully understand what that commit addressed, but commit
91341d4b2c19 ("kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch
analysis") introduced partial section checks by using modpost. built-in.o
was parsed by modpost. Even modules had a problem because *.mod files
were created after the modpost check.Commit b7dca6dd1e59 ("kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and
remove MODVERDIR") stopped doing that. Now that modpost is only invoked
after the directory descend, *.mod files should always exist at the
modpost stage.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
-
modpost uses grab_file() to open a file, but it is not suitable for
a text file because the mmap'ed file is not terminated by null byte.
Actually, I see some issues for the use of grab_file().The new helper, read_text_file() loads the whole file content into a
malloc'ed buffer, and appends a null byte. Then, get_line() reads
each line.To handle text files, I intend to replace as follows:
grab_file() -> read_text_file()
get_new_line() -> get_line()Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

The three calls of get_modinfo() ("license", "import_ns", "version")

check_exports() does not print warnings about unresolved symbols if
vmlinux is missing because there would be too many.This situation happens when you do 'make modules' from the clean

building useless modules. At least it should be warned.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Previously, the -i option had two functions; load a symbol dump file,
and set the external_module flag.I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them.

The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols
loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building
external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols
to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symversIt is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump
file or ELF object.This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols
loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symversGoing forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but
not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe
this makes more sense.sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected
against instrumentation for various reasons:- Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86.
- With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it.
Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling
that no unsafe functions are invoked.Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark
functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check
later.Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end()
These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls
into regular instrumentable text section as safe.The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is
enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging
the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a
kernel compiled with this option.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
