      moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file · 898490c0
      Alexey Gladkov 提交于
      Problem:
      
      When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
      information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
      the module.  In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
      kernel, that information is not available.
      
      Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:
      
      1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
      passed to the kernel at boot time.
      
      2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
      the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.
      
      Proposal:
      
      The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
      information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
      separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
      size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
      in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
      array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
      modules, we are not creating a new API.
      
      It can be easily read in the userspace:
      
      $ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo

      security: Implement Clang's stack initialization · 709a972e
      Kees Cook 提交于
      CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL turns on stack initialization based on
      -ftrivial-auto-var-init in Clang builds, which has greater coverage
      than CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL.
      
      -ftrivial-auto-var-init Clang option provides trivial initializers for
      uninitialized local variables, variable fields and padding.
      
      It has three possible values:
        pattern - uninitialized locals are filled with a fixed pattern
          (mostly 0xAA on 64-bit platforms, see https://reviews.llvm.org/D54604
          for more details, but 0x000000AA for 32-bit pointers) likely to cause
          crashes when uninitialized value is used;
        zero (it's still debated whether this flag makes it to the official
          Clang release) - uninitialized locals are filled with zeroes;
        uninitialized (default) - uninitialized locals are left intact.
      
      This patch uses only the "pattern" mode when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL is
      enabled.
      
      Developers have the possibility to opt-out of this feature on a
      per-variable basis by using __attribute__((uninitialized)), but such
      use should be well justified in comments.

      kbuild: add ability to generate BTF type info for vmlinux · e83b9f55
      Andrii Nakryiko 提交于
      This patch adds new config option to trigger generation of BTF type
      information from DWARF debuginfo for vmlinux and kernel modules through
      pahole, which in turn relies on libbpf for btf_dedup() algorithm.
      
      The intent is to record compact type information of all types used
      inside kernel, including all the structs/unions/typedefs/etc. This
      enables BPF's compile-once-run-everywhere ([0]) approach, in which
      tracing programs that are inspecting kernel's internal data (e.g.,
      struct task_struct) can be compiled on a system running some kernel
      version, but would be possible to run on other kernel versions (and
      configurations) without recompilation, even if the layout of structs
      changed and/or some of the fields were added, removed, or renamed.
      
      This is only possible if BPF loader can get kernel type info to adjust
      all the offsets correctly. This patch is a first time in this direction,
      making sure that BTF type info is part of Linux kernel image in
      non-loadable ELF section.
      
      BTF deduplication ([1]) algorithm typically provides 100x savings
      compared to DWARF data, so resulting .BTF section is not big as is
      typically about 2MB in size.

      kbuild: use $(srctree) instead of KBUILD_SRC to check out-of-tree build · a9a49c2a
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      KBUILD_SRC was conventionally used for some different purposes:
       [1] To remember the source tree path
       [2] As a flag to check if sub-make is already done
       [3] As a flag to check if Kbuild runs out of tree
      
      For [1], we do not need to remember it because the top Makefile
      can compute it by $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
      
      [2] has been replaced with self-commenting 'sub_make_done'.
      
      For [3], we can distinguish in-tree/out-of-tree by comparing
      $(srctree) and '.'
      
      This commit converts [3] to prepare for the KBUILD_SRC removal.

      kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory · 25b146c5
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Kbuild always runs in the top of the output directory.
      
      If Make starts in the source directory with O=, it relocates the
      working directory to the location specified by O=.
      
      Also, users can start build from the output directory by using the
      Makefile generated by scripts/mkmakefile.
      
      With a little more effort, Kbuild will be able to start from any
      directory path.
      
      This commit allows to specify the source directory by using
      the -f option.
      
      For example, you can do:
      
        $ cd path/to/output/dir
        $ make -f path/to/source/dir/Makefile
      
      Or, for the equivalent behavior, you can do:
      
        $ make O=path/to/output/dir -f path/to/source/dir/Makefile
      
      KBUILD_SRC is now deprecated.

      kbuild: force all architectures except um to include mandatory-y · 037fc336
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
      the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
      to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
      of the mandatory-y mechanism.
      
      um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
      case which does not support UAPI.

      kbuild: Make NOSTDINC_FLAGS a simply expanded variable · 0c22be07
      Douglas Anderson 提交于
      During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of
      the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include".  We don't
      need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice.
      
      Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid
      this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be
      recursively expanded.
      
      On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build.
      
      Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really
      old) commit e8f5bdb0 ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering").
      It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch
      the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid
      directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because
      someone else (out of tree?) was setting it.  I presume later since if
      the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would
      have just removed the ":".

      kbuild: add workaround for Debian make-kpkg · 2b50f7ab
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Since commit 3812b8c5 ("kbuild: make -r/-R effective in top
      Makefile for old Make versions"), make-kpkg is not working.
      
      make-kpkg directly includes the top Makefile of Linux kernel, and
      appends some debian_* targets.
      
        /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/kernel_version.mk:
      
          # Include the kernel makefile
          override dot-config := 1
          include Makefile
          dot-config := 1
      
      I did not know the kernel Makefile was used in that way, and it is
      hard to guarantee the behavior when the kernel Makefile is included
      by another Makefile from a different project.
      
      It looks like Debian Stretch stopped providing make-kpkg. Maybe it is
      obsolete and being replaced with 'make deb-pkg' etc. but still widely
      used.
      
      This commit adds a workaround; if the top Makefile is included by
      another Makefile, skip sub-make in order to make the main part visible.
      'MAKEFLAGS += -rR' does not become effective for GNU Make < 4.0, but
      Debian/Ubuntu is already using newer versions.
      
      The effect of this commit:
      
        Debian 8 (Jessie)  : Fixed
        Debian 9 (Stretch) : make-kpkg (kernel-package) is not provided
        Ubuntu 14.04 LTS   : NOT Fixed
        Ubuntu 16.04 LTS   : Fixed
        Ubuntu 18.04 LTS   : Fixed
      
      This commit cannot fix Ubuntu 14.04 because it installs GNU Make 3.81,
      but its support will end in Apr 2019, which is before the Linux v5.1
      release.
      
      I added warning so that nobody would try to include the top Makefile.
