The compiler is smart enough to insert a call to memset() in
riscv_vdso_get_cpus(), which generates a dynamic relocation.

So prevent this by using -fno-builtin option.

The vdso.so.dbg is a debug version of vdso and could be used for debugging
purpose. For example, perf-annotate requires debugging info to show source
lines. So let's keep its debugging info.

<content type='text'>
Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and
profilers.

Remove redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV

I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel
space objects.

<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>
<updated>2024-05-09T19:34:52Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

Such relocation causes crash of android linker similar to one
described in commit e05d57dcb8c7
("riscv: Fixup __vdso_gettimeofday broke dynamic ftrace").

Looks like this relocation is added by CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE which is
disabled in the default android kernel.

Before:

readelf -rW arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so:

Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0xd00 contains 1 entry:

After:
readelf -rW arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so:

There are no relocations in this file.

<title>kbuild: unify vdso_install rules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:56769ba4b297a629148eb24d554aef72d1ddfd9e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:

 1. Code duplication

    Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
    to the install destination.

    Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
    introducing more code duplication.

 2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts

    The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
    It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
    as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
    "make install" not depend on vmlinux").

 3. Broken code in some architectures

    Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
    without proper adaptation.

    'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.

    'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.

To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.

Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.

For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI)      += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION)   += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO)      += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

Implement CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK for RISC-V. When enabled, the
compiler injects instructions to all non-leaf C functions to
store the return address to the shadow stack and unconditionally
load it again before returning, which makes it harder to corrupt
the return address through a stack overflow, for example.

The active shadow call stack pointer is stored in the gp
register, which makes SCS incompatible with gp relaxation. Use
--no-relax-gp to ensure gp relaxation is disabled and disable
global pointer loading.  Add SCS pointers to struct thread_info,
implement SCS initialization, and task switching

Add a vDSO function __vdso_riscv_hwprobe, which can sit in front of the
riscv_hwprobe syscall and answer common queries. We stash a copy of
static answers for the "all CPUs" case in the vDSO data page. This data
is private to the vDSO, so we can decide later to change what's stored
there or under what conditions we defer to the syscall. Currently all
data can be discovered at boot, so the vDSO function answers all queries
when the cpumask is set to the "all CPUs" hint.

There's also a boolean in the data that lets the vDSO function know that
all CPUs are the same. In that case, the vDSO will also answer queries
for arbitrary CPU masks in addition to the "all CPUs" hint.
