Many applications check for available kernel features via:

  - /proc/modules (loaded modules, present if CONFIG_MODULES=y)
  - $(MODLIB)/modules.builtin (builtin modules)

They fail to detect features if the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODULES=n
and modules.builtin isn't installed.

Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and
"modules_install" depend on it.

Tests results:

  - make install: kernel image is copied as before, modules.builtin copied
  - make modules_install: (CONFIG_MODULES=n) nothing is copied, exit 1

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to
filter the kernel symbols, but all the symbols with the
second letter 'L' in the kernel were filtered out, not just
the symbols starting with 'dot + L'.

For example:
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ cat System.map |grep ' .L'
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ nm -n vmlinux |grep ' .L'
ffff0000088028e0 t bLength_show
......
ffff0000092e0408 b PLLP_OUTC_lock
ffff0000092e0410 b PLLP_OUTA_lock

The original intent should be to filter out all local symbols
starting with '.L', so the dot should be escaped.

The meaning of 'skip' is obscure since it does not explain

mod->skip is set when it is vmlinux or the module info came from

So, mod->skip is equivalent to (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump).

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.

grab_file() mmaps a file, but it is not so efficient here because

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

Signed-off-by: NMasahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

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: NMasahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

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 4be40e22 ("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
91341d4b ("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 b7dca6dd ("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: NMasahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

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()

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

If modpost fails to load a symbol dump file, it cannot check unresolved
symbols, hence module dependency will not be added. Nor CRCs can be added.

Currently, external module builds check only $(objtree)/Module.symvers,
but it should check files specified by KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS as well.

Move the warning message from the top Makefile to scripts/Makefile.modpost
and print the warning if any dump file is missing.
Signed-off-by: NMasahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

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
tree, or compile external modules against a kernel tree that has
not been completely built.

It is dangerous to not check unresolved symbols because you might be
building useless modules. At least it should be warned.

The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for
modules.

The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but
the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file,
presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols.

Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object.
Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second
pass.

A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file,
vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files.
The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same
way as before.

This makes further modpost cleanups possible.

Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote
Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols.

I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked
when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be
generated.

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.symvers

It 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.symvers

Going 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.

$(filter -i,$(MAKEFLAGS)) works only in limited use-cases.

The representation of $(MAKEFLAGS) depends on various factors:
  - GNU Make version (version 3.8x or version 4.x)
  - The presence of other flags like -j

In my experiments, $(MAKEFLAGS) is expanded as follows:

  * GNU Make 3.8x:

    * without -j option:
      --no-print-directory -Rri

    * with -j option:
      --no-print-directory -Rr --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j -i

  * GNU Make 4.x:

    * without -j option:
      irR --no-print-directory

    * with -j option:
      irR -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory

For GNU Make 4.x, the flags are grouped as 'irR', which does not work.

For the single thread build with GNU Make 3.8x, the flags are grouped
as '-Rri', which does not work either.

To make it work for all cases, do likewise as commit 6f0fa58e
("kbuild: simplify silent build (-s) detection").

BTW, since commit ff9b45c5 ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order
instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), you also need to pass -k option to
build final *.ko files. 'make -i -k' ignores compile errors in modules,
and build as many remaining *.ko as possible.

Please note this feature is kind of dangerous if other modules depend
on the broken module because the generated modules will lack the correct
module dependency or CRC. Honestly, I am not a big fan of it, but I am
keeping this feature.
