When using gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0 (on openSUSE 15.3), I see a build
warning:

  kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c: In function 'start_kthread':
  kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1461:8: warning: 'main' is usually a function [-Wmain]
    void *main = osnoise_main;
          ^~~~

Quieten that warning by using "-Wno-main".  It's OK to use "main" as a
declaration name in the kernel.

Build-tested on most ARCHes.

... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable
it when required.

We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific
over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them.  But while I
fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced
by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings.

So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people
to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular
issues.

Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it
can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if
that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation.

Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new
warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place.

Knock wood.

Turning on -Wformat does not reveal any instances of this warning across

disabled warnings as slim as possible.

This has been disabled since commit 61163efa ("kbuild: LLVMLinux:

explain exactly why it was turned off but since it was so long ago in
terms of both the kernel and LLVM so it is possible that some bug got

cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning all invoke the compiler

stale for our supported compilers, whose minimally supported versions
increases over time. See Documentation/process/changes.rst for the
current supported minimal versions (GCC 4.9+, clang 10.0.1+). Compiler
version support for these flags may be verified on godbolt.org.

The following flags are GCC only and supported since at least GCC 4.9.
Remove cc-option and cc-disable-warning tests.
* -fno-tree-loop-im
* -Wno-maybe-uninitialized

Commit 23243c1a ("arch: use cross_compiling to check whether it is
a cross build or not") broke 64-bit parisc builds on 32-bit parisc
systems.

Helge mentioned:
  - 64-bit parisc userspace is not supported yet [1]
  - hppa gcc does not support "-m64" flag [2]

That means, parisc developers working on a 32-bit parisc machine need
to use hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc (cross compiler) for building the 64-bit
parisc kernel.

After the offending commit, gcc is used in such a case because
both $(SRCARCH) and $(SUBARCH) are 'parisc', hence cross_compiling is
unset.

A correct way is to introduce ARCH=parisc64 because building the 64-bit
parisc kernel on a 32-bit parisc system is not exactly a native build,
but rather a semi-cross build.

LLVM_IAS is the user interface to set the -(no-)integrated-as flag,
and it should be used only for that purpose.

LLVM_IAS is checked in some places to determine the assembler type,
but it is not precise.

For example,

 $ make CC=gcc LLVM_IAS=1

... will use the GNU assembler (i.e. binutils) since LLVM_IAS=1 is
effective only when $(CC) is clang.

Of course, 'CC=gcc LLVM_IAS=1' is an odd combination, but the build
system can be more robust against such insane input.

Commit ba64beb1 ("kbuild: check the minimum assembler version in

It is always safe to use the same compiler for the kernel and external
modules, but in reality, some distributions such as Fedora release a
different version of GCC from the one used for building the kernel.

There was a long discussion about mixing different compilers [1].

I do not repeat it here, but at least, showing a heads up in that
case is better than nothing.

Linus suggested [2]:
  And a warning might be more palatable even if different compiler
  version work fine together. Just a heads up on "it looks like you
  might be mixing compiler versions" is a valid note, and isn't
  necessarily wrong. Even when they work well together, maybe you want
  to have people at least _aware_ of it.

This commit shows a warning unless the compiler is exactly the same.

When building ARCH=riscv allmodconfig with llvm-objcopy, the objcopy
version warning from this script appears:

WARNING: could not find objcopy version or version is less than 2.17.
        Local function references are disabled.

The check_objcopy() function in scripts/recordmcount.pl is set up to
parse GNU objcopy's version string, not llvm-objcopy's, which triggers
the warning.

Commit 799c4341 ("kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs")

--globalize-symbol is always available.

llvm-objcopy has supported --globalize-symbol since LLVM 7.0.0 in 2018
and the minimum version for building the kernel with LLVM is 10.0.1 so
there is no issue introduced:

When CONFIG_ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS is enabled, build the kernel with
"-fzero-call-used-regs=used-gpr" (in GCC 11). This option will zero any
caller-used register contents just before returning from a function,
ensuring that temporary values are not leaked beyond the function
boundary. This means that register contents are less likely to be
available for side channel attacks and information exposures.

Additionally this helps reduce the number of useful ROP gadgets in the
kernel image by about 20%:

$ ROPgadget.py --nosys --nojop --binary vmlinux.zero-call-regs | tail -n1

This reverts commit b7eb335e.

It turns out that the problem with the clang -Wimplicit-fallthrough
warning is not about the kernel source code, but about clang itself, and
that the warning is unusable until clang fixes its broken ways.

In particular, when you enable this warning for clang, you not only get
warnings about implicit fallthroughs.  You also get this:

   warning: fallthrough annotation in unreachable code [-Wimplicit-fallthrough]

which is completely broken becasue it

 (a) doesn't even tell you where the problem is (seriously: no line
     numbers, no filename, no nothing).

 (b) is fundamentally broken anyway, because there are perfectly valid
     reasons to have a fallthrough statement even if it turns out that
     it can perhaps not be reached.

In the kernel, an example of that second case is code in the scheduler:

                switch (state) {
                case cpuset:
                        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPUSETS)) {
                                cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback(p);
                                state = possible;
                                break;
                        }
                        fallthrough;
                case possible:

where if CONFIG_CPUSETS is enabled you actually never hit the
fallthrough case at all.  But that in no way makes the fallthrough
wrong.

So the warning is completely broken, and enabling it for clang is a very
bad idea.

In the meantime, we can keep the gcc option enabled, and make the gcc
build use

    -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5

which means that we will at least continue to require a proper
fallthrough statement, and that gcc won't silently accept the magic
comment versions. Because gcc does this all correctly, and while the odd
"=5" part is kind of obscure, it's documented in [1]:

  "-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 doesn’t recognize any comments as
   fallthrough comments, only attributes disable the warning"

so if clang ever fixes its bad behavior we can try enabling it there again.

With the recent fixes for fallthrough warnings, it is now possible to
enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang.

It's important to mention that since we have adopted the use of the
pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough; we also want to avoid having more
/* fall through */ comments being introduced. Notice that contrary
to GCC, Clang doesn't recognize any comments as implicit fall-through
markings when the -Wimplicit-fallthrough option is enabled. So, in
order to avoid having more comments being introduced, we have to use
the option -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 for GCC, which similar to Clang,
will cause a warning in case a code comment is intended to be used
as a fall-through marking.

M= (or KBUILD_EXTMOD) generally expects a directory path without any
trailing slashes, like M=a/b/c.

If you add a trailing slash, like M=a/b/c/, you will get ugly build
logs (two slashes in a series), but it still works fine as long as it
is consistent between 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'.

The following commands correctly build and install the modules.

  $ make M=a/b/c/ modules
  $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install

Since commit ccae4cfa ("kbuild: refactor scripts/Makefile.modinst"),
a problem happens if you add a trailing slash only for modules_install.

  $ make M=a/b/c modules
  $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install

No module is installed in this case, Johannes Berg reported. [1]

Trim any trailing slashes from $(KBUILD_EXTMOD).

I used the 'dirname' command to remove all the trailing slashes in
case someone adds more slashes like M=a/b/c/////. The Make's built-in
function, $(dir ...) cannot take care of such a case.

-Wframe-larger-than= requires stack frame information, which the
frontend cannot provide. This diagnostic is emitted late during
compilation once stack frame size is available.

When building with LTO, the frontend simply lowers C to LLVM IR and does
not have stack frame information, so it cannot emit this diagnostic.
When the linker drives LTO, it restarts optimizations and lowers LLVM IR
to object code. At that point, it has stack frame information but
doesn't know to check for a specific max stack frame size.

I consider this a bug in LLVM that we need to fix. There are some
details we're working out related to LTO such as which value to use when
there are multiple different values specified per TU, or how to
propagate these to compiler synthesized routines properly, if at all.

Until it's fixed, ensure we don't miss these. At that point we can wrap
this in a compiler version guard or revert this based on the minimum
support version of Clang.

I do not see a good reason why only the libelf development package must
be so carefully checked.

Kbuild generally does not check host tools or libraries.

For example, x86_64 defconfig fails to build with no libssl development
package installed.

scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory
   21 | #include <openssl/bio.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To solve the build error, you need to install libssl-dev or openssl-devel
package, depending on your distribution.

'apt-file search', 'dnf provides', etc. is your frined to find a proper
package to install.

This commit removes all the libelf checks from the top Makefile.

If libelf is missing, objtool will fail to build in a similar pattern:

   10 | #include <gelf.h>

You need to install libelf-dev, libelf-devel, or elfutils-libelf-devel
to proceed.

Another remarkable change is, CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION (without
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC) previously continued to build with a warning,
but now it will treat missing libelf as an error.

This is just a one-time installation, so it should not hurt to break
a build and make a user install the package.

BTW, the traditional way to handle such checks is autotool, but according
to [1], I do not expect the kernel build would have similar scripting
like './configure' does.

The tools/ directory only exists in the kernel source tree, not in
external modules.

Do not expose the meaningless targets to external modules.

Commit 09c60546 ("./Makefile: add debug option to enable
function aligned on 32 bytes") was introduced to help debugging
strange kernel performance changes caused by code alignment
change.

Recently we found 2 similar cases [1][2] caused by code-alignment
changes, which can only be identified by forcing 64 bytes aligned
for all functions.

Originally, 32 bytes was used mainly for not wasting too much
text space, but this option is only for debug anyway where text
space is not a big concern. So extend the alignment to 64 bytes
to cover more similar cases.
