2024-09-07kbuild: compile constant module information only onceThomas Weißschuh1-23/+0
Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections. For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module and then linked into the module. However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all modules, internal and external. Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is compiled once and then linked into all modules. This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING. The modules are still relinked in this case. The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file instead of an inline string literal.

2024-09-01modpost: improve the section mismatch warning formatMasahiro Yamada1-8/+13
This commit improves the section mismatch warning format when there is no suitable symbol name to print. The section mismatch warning prints the reference source in the form of <symbol_name>+<offset> and the reference destination in the form of <symbol_name>. However, there are some corner cases where <symbol_name> becomes "(unknown)", as reported in commit 23dfd914d2bf ("modpost: fix null pointer dereference"). In such cases, it is better to print the symbol address. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module builds.

2024-01-28modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONSNathan Chancellor1-1/+2
After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown) WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references section ".ltext" which is not in the list of authorized sections. If you're adding a new section and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the list of authorized sections to jump to on fault. This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c. The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and '.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large', which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text' and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

2024-01-17modpost: Ignore relaxation and alignment marker relocs on LoongArchWANG Xuerui1-2/+17
With recent trunk versions of binutils and gcc, alignment directives are represented with R_LARCH_ALIGN relocs on LoongArch, which is necessary for the linker to maintain alignment requirements during its relaxation passes. And even though the kernel is built with relaxation disabled, so far a small number of R_LARCH_RELAX marker relocs are still emitted as part of la.* pseudo instructions in assembly. These two kinds of relocs do not refer to symbols, which can trip up modpost's section mismatch checks, because the r_offset of said relocs can be zero or any other meaningless value, eventually leading to a `from == NULL` condition in default_mismatch_handler and SIGSEGV. As the two kinds of relocs are not concerned with symbols, just ignore them for section mismatch check purposes.

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely are not available when the code is built-in. There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64 allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for W=1 builds. The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented since commit 0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference .init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the same way. Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to find this improvement.

2023-09-12linux/export: fix reference to exported functions for parisc64Masahiro Yamada1-0/+9
John David Anglin reported parisc has been broken since commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost"). Like ia64, parisc64 uses a function descriptor. The function references must be prefixed with P%. Also, symbols prefixed $$ from the library have the symbol type STT_LOPROC instead of STT_FUNC. They should be handled as functions too.

2023-09-01modpost: Skip .llvm.call-graph-profile section checkDenis Nikitin1-0/+1
.llvm.call-graph-profile section is added by clang when the kernel is built with profiles (e.g. -fprofile-sample-use= or -fprofile-use=). Note that .llvm.call-graph-profile intentionally uses REL relocations to decrease the object size, for more details see https://reviews.llvm.org/D104080. The section contains edge information derived from text sections, so .llvm.call-graph-profile itself doesn't need more analysis as the text sections have been analyzed. This change fixes the kernel build with clang and a sample profile which currently fails with: "FATAL: modpost: Please add code to calculate addend for this architecture" Signed-off-by: Denis Nikitin <denik@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-07-31modpost: remove ElF_Rela variables from for-loop in section_rel(a)Masahiro Yamada1-14/+11
Remove the Elf_Rela variables used in the for-loop in section_rel(). This makes the code consistent; section_rel() only uses Elf_Rel, section_rela() only uses Elf_Rela. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-07-31modpost: clean up MIPS64 little endian relocation codeMasahiro Yamada1-33/+43
MIPS64 little endian target has an odd encoding of r_info. This commit makes the special handling less ugly. It is still ugly, but #if conditionals will go away, at least. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-07-31modpost: pass r_type to addend_*_rel()Masahiro Yamada1-13/+11
All of addend_*_rel() need the Elf_Rela pointer just for calculating ELF_R_TYPE(r->r_info). You can do it on the caller to de-duplicate the code. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-07-31modpost: change return type of addend_*_rel()Masahiro Yamada1-39/+24
Now that none of addend_*_rel() returns a meaningful value (the return value is always 0), change all of them to return the value of r_addend. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
