      Makefile: support compressed debug info · 10e68b02
      Nick Desaulniers 提交于
      As debug information gets larger and larger, it helps significantly save
      the size of vmlinux images to compress the information in the debug
      information sections. Note: this debug info is typically split off from
      the final compressed kernel image, which is why vmlinux is what's used
      in conjunction with GDB. Minimizing the debug info size should have no
      impact on boot times, or final compressed kernel image size.
      
      All of the debug sections will have a `C` flag set.

      Nick Clifton helped us to provide the minimal binutils version.
      Sedat Dilek found an increase in size of debug .deb package.

      modpost: refactor sech_name() · 565587d8
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Use sym_get_data_by_offset() helper to get access to the .shstrtab
      section data. No functional change is intended because
      elf->sechdrs[elf->secindex_strings].sh_addr is 0 for both ET_REL
      and ET_EXEC object types.

      modpost: fix potential segmentation fault for addend_i386_rel() · d2e4d05c
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      This may not be a practical problem, but the second pass of ARCH=i386
      modpost causes segmentation fault if the -s option is not passed.
      
          MODPOST 12 modules
        Segmentation fault (core dumped)
        make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:94: __modpost] Error 139
        make[1]: *** [Makefile:1339: modules] Error 2
        make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
      
      The segmentation fault occurs when section_rel() is called for vmlinux,
      which is untested in regular builds. The cause of the problem is
      reloc_location() returning a wrong pointer for ET_EXEC object type.
      In this case, you need to subtract sechdr->sh_addr, otherwise it would
      get access beyond the mmap'ed memory.
      
      Add sym_get_data_by_offset() helper to avoid code duplication.

      kbuild: disallow multi-word in M= or KBUILD_EXTMOD · e9e81b63
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      $(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit
      3f3fd3c0 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost")
      to build multiple external module directories.
      
      It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external
      module depends on another external module.
      
      Commit 0d96fb20 ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
      KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol
      info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support.
      
        include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \
                     $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile)
      
      ... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words.
      
      This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the
      bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains
      multiple words.
      
      As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends
      on another one, there are two solutions:
        - add a common top-level Kbuild file
        - use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
