      kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers · 54a702f7
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
      in a chain of pattern rules.
      
      Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts
      Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped
      
      A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
      from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.
      
        .SECONDARY
          Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
          files but are never automatically deleted.
      
        .PRECIOUS
          When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
          file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
          If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
          if interrupted.
      
      Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
      the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
      but .PRECIOUS does not.
      
      The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
      partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.
      
      Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
      .SECONDARY does not.
      
        .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c
      
      works, but
      
        .SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c
      
      has no effect.  However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
      .PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.
      
      The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit.  $(targets)
      contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files.  So, the
      intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there.  Therefore, mark
      $(targets) as .SECONDARY.  It means primary targets are also marked
      as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.
      
      I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'.  This
      will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
      not a noticeable performance issue.

      kbuild: rename *-asn1.[ch] to *.asn1.[ch] · 4fa8bc94

      Our convention is to distinguish file types by suffixes with a period

      *-asn1.[ch] is a different pattern from other generated sources such
      as *.lex.c, *.tab.[ch], *.dtb.S, etc.  More confusing, files with
      '-asn1.[ch]' are generated files, but '_asn1.[ch]' are checked-in

      kbuild: add %.dtb.S and %.dtb to 'targets' automatically · a7f92419
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Another common pattern that consists of chained commands is to compile
      a DTB as binary data into the kernel image or a module.  It is used in
      several places in the source tree.  Support it in the core Makefile.
      
      $(call if_changed,dt_S_dtb) is more suitable than $(call cmd,dt_S_dtb)
      in case cmd_dt_S_dtb is changed in the future.

      kbuild: add %.lex.c and %.tab.[ch] to 'targets' automatically · b23d1a24
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Files generated by if_changed* must be added to 'targets' to include
      *.cmd files.  Otherwise, they would be regenerated every time.
      
      The build system automatically adds objects to 'targets' where
      appropriate, such as obj-y, extra-y, etc. but does nothing for
      intermediate files.  So, each Makefile needs to add them by itself.
      
      There are some common cases where objects are generated by chained
      rules.  Lexers and parsers are compiled like follows:
      
         %.lex.o <- %.lex.c <- %.l
         %.tab.o <- %.tab.c <- %.y
      
      They are common patterns, so it is reasonable to take care of them
      in the core Makefile instead of requiring each Makefile to do so.
      
      At this moment, you cannot delete 'target += zconf.lex.c' in the
      Kconfig Makefile because zconf.lex.c is included from zconf.tab.c
      instead of being compiled separately.  It should be deleted after
      Kconfig is more refactored.

      Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments · 3a025e1d
      Matthew Wilcox 提交于
      Implement a '-none' output mode for kernel-doc which will only output
      warning messages, and suppresses the warning message about there being
      no kernel-doc in the file.
      
      If the build has requested additional warnings, automatically check all
      .c files.  This patch does not check .h files.  Enabling the warning
      by default would add about 1300 warnings, so it's default off for now.
      People who care can use this to check they didn't break the docs and
      maybe we'll get all the warnings fixed and be able to enable this check
      by default in the future.

      kbuild: create built-in.o automatically if parent directory wants it · f7adc312
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      "obj-y += foo/" syntax requires Kbuild to visit the "foo" subdirectory
      and link built-in.o from that directory.  This means foo/Makefile is
      responsible for creating built-in.o even if there is no object to
      link (in this case, built-in.o is an empty archive).
      
      We have had several fixups like commit 4b024242 ("kbuild: Fix
      linking error built-in.o no such file or directory"), then ended up
      with a complex condition as follows:
      
        ifneq ($(strip $(obj-y) $(obj-m) $(obj-) $(subdir-m) $(lib-target)),)
        builtin-target := $(obj)/built-in.o
        endif
      
      We still have more cases not covered by the above, so we need to add
        obj- := dummy.o
      in several places just for creating empty built-in.o.
      
      A key point is, the parent Makefile knows whether built-in.o is needed
      or not.  If a subdirectory needs to create built-in.o, its parent can
      tell the fact when descending.
      
      If non-empty $(need-builtin) flag is passed from the parent, built-in.o
      should be created.  $(obj-y) should be still checked to support the
      single target "%/".  All of ugly tricks will go away.

      Kbuild: don't pass "-C" to preprocessor when processing linker scripts · 5cb0512c
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      For some odd historical reason, we preprocessed the linker scripts with
      "-C", which keeps comments around.  That makes no sense, since the
      comments are not meaningful for the build anyway.
      
      And it actually breaks things, since linker scripts can't have C++ style
      "//" comments in them, so keeping comments after preprocessing now
      limits us in odd and surprising ways in our header files for no good
      reason.
      
      The -C option goes back to pre-git and pre-bitkeeper times, but seems to
      have been historically used (along with "-traditional") for some
      odd-ball architectures (ia64, MIPS and SH).  It probably didn't matter
      back then either, but might possibly have been used to minimize the
      difference between the original file and the pre-processed result.
      
      The reason for this may be lost in time, but let's not perpetuate it
      only because we can't remember why we did this crazy thing.
      
      This was triggered by the recent addition of SPDX lines to the source
      tree, where people apparently were confused about why header files
      couldn't use the C++ comment format.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder · ee9f8fce
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
      It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
      
      It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
      .orc_unwind_ip sections.
      
      For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
      Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
      that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
      data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
      faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
      profiling workloads like perf.
      
      Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
      splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
      fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.
