Recently 0day reported many strange performance changes (regression or
improvement), in which there was no obvious relation between the culprit
commit and the benchmark at the first look, and it causes people to doubt
the test itself is wrong.
Upon further check, many of these cases are caused by the change to the
alignment of kernel text or data, as whole text/data of kernel are linked
together, change in one domain may affect alignments of other domains.
gcc has an option '-falign-functions=n' to force text aligned, and with
that option enabled, some of those performance changes will be gone, like
[1][2][3].
Add this option so that developers and 0day can easily find performance
bump caused by text alignment change, as tracking these strange bump is
quite time consuming. Though it can't help in other cases like data
alignment changes like [4].
Following is some size data for v5.7 kernel built with a RHEL config used
in 0day:
text data bss dec filename
19738771 13292906 5554236 38585913 vmlinux.noalign
19758591 13297002 5529660 38585253 vmlinux.align32
Raw vmlinux size in bytes:
v5.7 v5.7+align32
253950832 254018000 +0.02%
Some benchmark data, most of them have no big change:

When you clean the build tree for ARCH=arm, you may see the following
error message from 'nm' command:
$ make -j24 ARCH=arm clean
CLEAN arch/arm/crypto
CLEAN arch/arm/kernel
CLEAN arch/arm/mach-at91
CLEAN arch/arm/mach-omap2
CLEAN arch/arm/vdso
CLEAN certs
CLEAN lib
CLEAN usr
CLEAN net/wireless
CLEAN drivers/firmware/efi/libstub
nm: 'arch/arm/boot/compressed/../../../../vmlinux': No such file
/bin/sh: 1: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: " "
CLEAN arch/arm/boot/compressed
CLEAN drivers/scsi
CLEAN drivers/tty/vt
CLEAN arch/arm/boot
CLEAN vmlinux.symvers modules.builtin modules.builtin.modinfo
Even if you rerun the same command, the error message will not be
shown despite vmlinux is already gone.
To reproduce it, the parallel option -j is needed. Single thread
cleaning always executes 'archclean', 'vmlinuxclean' in this order,
so vmlinux still exists when arch/arm/boot/compressed/ is cleaned.
Looking at arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile does not help understand
the reason of the error message. Both KBSS_SZ and LDFLAGS_vmlinux are
assigned with '=' operator, hence, they are not expanded unless used.
Obviously, 'make clean' does not use them.
In fact, the root cause exists in the top Makefile:
export LDFLAGS_vmlinux
Since LDFLAGS_vmlinux is an exported variable, LDFLAGS_vmlinux in
arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile is expanded when scripts/Makefile.clean
has a command to execute. This is why the error message shows up only
when there exist build artifacts in arch/arm/boot/compressed/.
Adding 'unexport LDFLAGS_vmlinux' to arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
will fix it as far as ARCH=arm is concerned, but I think the proper fix
is to get rid of 'export LDFLAGS_vmlinux' from the top Makefile.
LDFLAGS_vmlinux in the top Makefile contains linker flags for the top
vmlinux. LDFLAGS_vmlinux in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile is for
arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux. They just happen to have the same
variable name, but are used for different purposes. Stop shadowing
LDFLAGS_vmlinux.
This commit passes LDFLAGS_vmlinux to scripts/link-vmlinux.sh via a
command line parameter instead of via an environment variable. LD and
KBUILD_LDFLAGS are exported, but I did the same for consistency. Anyway,
they must be included in cmd_link-vmlinux to allow if_changed to detect
the changes in LD or KBUILD_LDFLAGS.
The following Makefiles are not affected:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/nios2/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/sh/boot/romimage/Makefile
arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
They use ':=' or '=' to clear the LDFLAGS_vmlinux inherited from the
top Makefile.
We need to take a closer look at the impact to unicore32 and xtensa.
arch/unicore32/boot/compressed/Makefile only uses '+=' operator for
LDFLAGS_vmlinux. So, the decompressor previously inherited the linker
flags from the top Makefile.
However, commit 70fac51fea ("unicore32 additional architecture files:
boot process") was merged before commit 1f2bfbd00e ("kbuild: link of
vmlinux moved to a script"). So, I rather consider this is a bug fix of
1f2bfbd00e.
arch/xtensa/boot/boot-elf/Makefile is also affected, but this is also
considered a fix for the same reason. It did not inherit LDFLAGS_vmlinux
when commit 4bedea9454 ("[PATCH] xtensa: Architecture support for
Tensilica Xtensa Part 2") was merged. I deleted $(LDFLAGS_vmlinux),
which is now empty.

Makefile: Fix GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR prefix for Clang cross compilation
kbuild: fix single target builds for external modules
modpost: remove use of non-standard strsep() in HOSTCC code
The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky.
The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling
into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it.
At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected
sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3
which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the
rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately.
This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers.
While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong
in foo.c files.
The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping
modifications.

When CROSS_COMPILE is set (e.g. aarch64-linux-gnu-), if
$(CROSS_COMPILE)elfedit is found at /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-elfedit,
GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR will be set to /usr/bin/. --prefix= will be set to
/usr/bin/ and Clang as of 11 will search for both
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu-$needle and $(prefix)$needle.
GCC searchs for $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$version/$needle,
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle and $(prefix)$needle. In practice,
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle rarely contains executables.
To better model how GCC's -B/--prefix takes in effect in practice, newer
Clang (since
3452a0d8c1)
only searches for $(prefix)$needle. Currently it will find /usr/bin/as
instead of /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-as.
Set --prefix= to $(GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(notdir $(CROSS_COMPILE))
(/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-) so that newer Clang can find the
appropriate cross compiling GNU as (when -no-integrated-as is in
effect).

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.
No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.
GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)
Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.
Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.
Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

Programs added 'userprogs' should be compiled for the target
architecture i.e. the same architecture as the kernel.
GCC does this correctly since the target architecture is implied
by the toolchain prefix.
Clang builds userspace programs always for the host architecture
because the target triple is currently missing.
Fix this.

This reverts commit e0b250b57d,
which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain
path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'.
$ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied
Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed
make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1
While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change
in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install"
can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas
originally suggested.
Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.

In addition to -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern (used by
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL now) Clang also supports zero initialization for
locals enabled by -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero. The future of this flag
is still being debated (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45497).
Right now it is guarded by another flag,
-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang,
which means it may not be supported by future Clang releases. Another
possible resolution is that -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero will persist
(as certain users have already started depending on it), but the name
of the guard flag will change.
In the meantime, zero initialization has proven itself as a good
production mitigation measure against uninitialized locals. Unlike pattern
initialization, which has a higher chance of triggering existing bugs,
zero initialization provides safe defaults for strings, pointers, indexes,
and sizes. On the other hand, pattern initialization remains safer for
return values. Chrome OS and Android are moving to using zero
initialization for production builds.
Performance-wise, the difference between pattern and zero initialization
is usually negligible, although the generated code for zero
initialization is more compact.
This patch renames CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL to CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN
and introduces another config option, CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO, that
enables zero initialization for locals if the corresponding flags are
supported by Clang.

Commit
10e68b02c8 ("Makefile: support compressed debug info")
added support for compressed debug sections.
Support is detected by checking
- does the compiler support -gz=zlib
- does the assembler support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib
- does the linker support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib
However, the gcc driver's support for this option is somewhat
convoluted. The driver's builtin specs are set based on the version of
binutils that it was configured with. It reports an error if the
configure-time linker/assembler (i.e., not necessarily the actual
assembler that will be run) do not support the option, but only if the
assembler (or linker) is actually invoked when -gz=zlib is passed.
The cc-option check in scripts/Kconfig.include does not invoke the
assembler, so the gcc driver reports success even if it does not support
the option being passed to the assembler.
Because the as-option check passes the option directly to the assembler
via -Wa,--compressed-debug-sections=zlib, the gcc driver does not see
this option and will never report an error.
Combined with an installed version of binutils that is more recent than
the one the compiler was built with, it is possible for all three tests
to succeed, yet an actual compilation with -gz=zlib to fail.
Moreover, it is unnecessary to explicitly pass
--compressed-debug-sections=zlib to the assembler via -Wa, since the
driver will do that automatically when it supports -gz=zlib.
Convert the as-option to just -gz=zlib, simplifying it as well as
performing a better test of the gcc driver's capabilities.

Redefine GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP variables as KGZIP, KBZIP2, KLZOP resp.
GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP env variables are reserved by the tools. The original
attempt to redefine them internally doesn't work in makefiles/scripts
intercall scenarios, e.g., "make GZIP=gzip bindeb-pkg" and results in
broken builds. There can be other broken build commands because of this,
so the universal solution is to use non-reserved env variables for the

speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2
Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env

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

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.

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.

Make modules.order depend on $(obj-m), and use if_changed to build it.
This will avoid unneeded update of modules.order, which will be useful
to optimize the modpost stage.
Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked. By checking the
timestamp of modules.order, we can avoid the unneeded modpost.

- Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
* Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each
task that holds only return addresses. This protects function
return control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
* Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
* Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.
* SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
- CPU feature detection
* Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a
concern for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on
such a system.
* Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
- Perf and PMU drivers
* Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
- Hardware errata
* Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
* Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
- Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC)
* Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
* Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
- Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)
* Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
* Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
- Pointer authentication
* Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so

* Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
- BPF backend
* Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub

- Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace

BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
- Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.
Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
- Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
- Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).

too.
- SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
CPU feature detection:
- Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.
- Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
Hardware errata:
- Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
- Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
- Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
- Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
- Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
- Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
Pointer authentication:
- Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
- Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
BPF backend:
- Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
vDSO:
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
ACPI:
- Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
the "num_ids" field.
- Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
root complexes.
- Minor other IORT-related fixes.

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.

$(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit

It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external

Commit 0d96fb20b7 ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable

Kbuild supports the infrastructure to build host programs, but there
was no support to build userspace programs for the target architecture
(i.e. the same architecture as the kernel).
Sam Ravnborg worked on this in 2014 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/154),
but it was not merged. One problem at that time was, there was no good way
to know whether $(CC) can link standalone programs. In fact, pre-built
kernel.org toolchains [1] are often used for building the kernel, but they
do not provide libc.
Now, we can handle this cleanly because the compiler capability is
evaluated at the Kconfig time. If $(CC) cannot link standalone programs,
the relevant options are hidden by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'.
The implementation just mimics scripts/Makefile.host
The userspace programs are compiled with the same flags as the host
programs. In addition, it uses -m32 or -m64 if it is found in
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS).
This new syntax has two usecases.
- Sample programs
Several userspace programs under samples/ include UAPI headers
installed in usr/include. Most of them were previously built for
the host architecture just to use the 'hostprogs' syntax.
However, 'make headers' always works for the target architecture.
This caused the arch mismatch in cross-compiling. To fix this
distortion, sample code should be built for the target architecture.
- Bpfilter
net/bpfilter/Makefile compiles bpfilter_umh as the user mode helper,
and embeds it into the kernel. Currently, it overrides HOSTCC with
CC to use the 'hostprogs' syntax. This hack should go away.

This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack,
which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being
overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html
Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading
and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack
control flow by modifying the stacks.

[will: Numerous cosmetic changes]
Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
gcc-10 now warns about passing aliasing pointers to functions that take
restricted pointers.
That's actually a great warning, and if we ever start using 'restrict'
in the kernel, it might be quite useful. But right now we don't, and it
turns out that the only thing this warns about is an idiom where we have
declared a few functions to be "printf-like" (which seems to make gcc
pick up the restricted pointer thing), and then we print to the same
buffer that we also use as an input.
And people do that as an odd concatenation pattern, with code like this:
#define sysfs_show_gen_prop(buffer, fmt, ...) \
snprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, "%s"fmt, buffer, __VA_ARGS__)
where we have 'buffer' as both the destination of the final result, and
as the initial argument.
Yes, it's a bit questionable. And outside of the kernel, people do have
standard declarations like
int snprintf( char *restrict buffer, size_t bufsz,
const char *restrict format, ... );
where that output buffer is marked as a restrict pointer that cannot
alias with any other arguments.
But in the context of the kernel, that 'use snprintf() to concatenate to
the end result' does work, and the pattern shows up in multiple places.
And we have not marked our own version of snprintf() as taking restrict
pointers, so the warning is incorrect for now, and gcc picks it up on
its own.
If we do start using 'restrict' in the kernel (and it might be a good
idea if people find places where it matters), we'll need to figure out
how to avoid this issue for snprintf and friends. But in the meantime,
this warning is not useful.

This is the final array bounds warning removal for gcc-10 for now.
Again, the warning is good, and we should re-enable all these warnings
when we have converted all the legacy array declaration cases to
flexible arrays. But in the meantime, it's just noise.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This is another fine warning, related to the 'zero-length-bounds' one,
but hitting the same historical code in the kernel.
Because C didn't historically support flexible array members, we have
code that instead uses a one-sized array, the same way we have cases of
zero-sized arrays.
The one-sized arrays come from either not wanting to use the gcc
zero-sized array extension, or from a slight convenience-feature, where
particularly for strings, the size of the structure now includes the
allocation for the final NUL character.
So with a "char name[1];" at the end of a structure, you can do things
like
v = my_malloc(sizeof(struct vendor) + strlen(name));
and avoid the "+1" for the terminator.
Yes, the modern way to do that is with a flexible array, and using
'offsetof()' instead of 'sizeof()', and adding the "+1" by hand. That
also technically gets the size "more correct" in that it avoids any
alignment (and thus padding) issues, but this is another long-term
cleanup thing that will not happen for 5.7.
So disable the warning for now, even though it's potentially quite
useful. Having a slew of warnings that then hide more urgent new issues
is not an improvement.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This is a fine warning, but we still have a number of zero-length arrays
in the kernel that come from the traditional gcc extension. Yes, they
are getting converted to flexible arrays, but in the meantime the gcc-10
warning about zero-length bounds is very verbose, and is hiding other
issues.
I missed one actual build failure because it was hidden among hundreds
of lines of warning. Thankfully I caught it on the second go before
pushing things out, but it convinced me that I really need to disable
the new warnings for now.
We'll hopefully be all done with our conversion to flexible arrays in
the not too distant future, and we can then re-enable this warning.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.
For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).
And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.
At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.
So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".
Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.
That's currently not the world we live in, though.

As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.
Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.
Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.
We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43
Some items discussed, but not adopted:
- LLVM_DIR
When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.
CC = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
LD = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
...
However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
this.
- LLVM_SUFFIX
Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.
CC = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
LD = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
...
will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
/usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

Kbuild supports not only obj-y but also lib-y to list objects linked to
vmlinux.
The difference between them is that all the objects from obj-y are
forcibly linked to vmlinux, whereas the objects from lib-y are linked
as needed; if there is no user of a lib-y object, it is not linked.
lib-y is intended to list utility functions that may be called from all
over the place (and may be unused at all), but it is a problem for
EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Even if there is no call-site in the vmlinux, we need
to keep exported symbols for the use from loadable modules.
Commit 7f2084fa55 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably")
worked around it by linking a dummy object, lib-ksyms.o, which contains
references to all the symbols exported from lib.a in that directory.
It uses the linker script command, EXTERN. Unfortunately, the meaning of
EXTERN of ld.lld is different from that of ld.bfd. Therefore, this does
not work with LD=ld.lld (CBL issue #515).
Anyway, the build rule of lib-ksyms.o is somewhat tricky. So, I want to
get rid of it.
At first, I was thinking of accumulating lib-y objects into obj-y
(or even replacing lib-y with obj-y entirely), but the lib-y syntax
is used beyond the ordinary use in lib/ and arch/*/lib/.
Examples:
- drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds lib.a, which is linked
into vmlinux in the own way (arm64), or linked to the decompressor
(arm, x86).
- arch/alpha/lib/Makefile builds lib.a which is linked not only to
vmlinux, but also to bootloaders in arch/alpha/boot/Makefile.
- arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile builds lib.a for use from
arch/xtensa/boot/boot-redboot/Makefile.
One more thing, adding everything to obj-y would increase the vmlinux
size of allnoconfig (or tinyconfig).
For less impact, I tweaked the destination of lib.a at the top Makefile;
when CONFIG_MODULES=y, lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS, which is
forcibly linked to vmlinux, otherwise lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
as before.
The size impact for normal usecases is quite small since at lease one
symbol in every lib-y object is eventually called by someone. In case
you are intrested, here are the figures.
x86_64_defconfig:
text data bss dec hex filename
19566602 5422072 1589328 26578002 1958c52 vmlinux.before
19566932 5422104 1589328 26578364 1958dbc vmlinux.after
The case with the biggest impact is allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y.
ARCH=x86 allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y:
text data bss dec hex filename
1175162 254740 1220608 2650510 28718e vmlinux.before
1177974 254836 1220608 2653418 287cea vmlinux.after
Hopefully this is still not a big deal. The per-file trimming with the
static library is not so effective after all.
If fine-grained optimization is desired, some architectures support
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which trims dead code per-symbol
basis. When LTO is supported in mainline, even better optimization will
be possible.

Currently, we disable -Wtautological-compare, which in turn disables a
bunch of more specific tautological comparison warnings that are useful
for the kernel such as -Wtautological-bitwise-compare. See clang's
documentation below for the other warnings that are suppressed by
-Wtautological-compare. Now that all of the major/noisy warnings have
been fixed, enable -Wtautological-compare so that more issues can be
caught at build time by various continuous integration setups.
-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare is kept disabled under a
normal build but visible at W=1 because there are places in the kernel
where a constant or variable size can change based on the kernel
configuration. These are not fixed in a clean/concise way and the ones
I have audited so far appear to be harmless. It is not a subgroup but
rather just one warning so we do not lose out on much coverage by

Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
"Build system:
- add CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST, which will be useful to define a
fixed set of export symbols for Generic Kernel Image (GKI)
- allow to run 'make dt_binding_check' without .config
- use full schema for checking DT examples in *.yaml files
- make modpost fail for missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS(), which makes more
sense because we know the produced modules are never loadable
- Remove unused 'AS' variable
Kconfig:
- sanitize DEFCONFIG_LIST, and remove ARCH_DEFCONFIG from Kconfig
files
- relax the 'imply' behavior so that symbols implied by 'y' can
become 'm'
- make 'imply' obey 'depends on' in order to make 'imply' really weak
Misc:
- add documentation on building the kernel with Clang/LLVM
- revive __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN for 32bit sparc to use optimized strlen()
- fix warning from deb-pkg builds when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n
- various script and Makefile cleanups"

As commit 5ef872636c ("kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from
documents") noted, we rarely use $(AS) directly in the kernel build.
Now that the only/last user of $(AS) in drivers/net/wan/Makefile was
converted to $(CC), $(AS) is no longer used in the build process.
You can still pass in AS=clang, which is just a switch to turn on
the LLVM integrated assembler.

The 'dtbinst_root' is used to remember the root of the in-kernel dts
directory (i.e. arch/*/boot/dts), but it looks clumsy.
I prefer using two variables 'obj' and 'dst' to track the in-kernel
directory and the install destination, respectively.

The dt_binding_check target is located outside of the
'ifneq ($(dtstree),) ... endif' block.
So, you can run 'make dt_binding_check' on any architecture.
This makes a perfect sense because the dt-schema is arch-agnostic.
The only one problem I see is that scripts/dtc/dtc is not always built.
For example, ARCH=x86 defconfig does not define CONFIG_DTC. Kbuild
descends into scripts/dtc/ with doing nothing. Then, it fails to build
*.example.dt.yaml files.
Let's build scripts/dtc/dtc forcibly when running dt_binding_check.
The dt-schema does not depend on any CONFIG option either, so you
should be able to run dt_binding_check without the .config file.
Going forward, you can directly run 'make dt_binding_check' in a
pristine source tree.

Since commit 93512dad33 ("dt-bindings: Improve validation build error
handling"), 'make dtbs_check' does not validate the schema fully.
If you want to check everything, you need to run two commands separately.
$ make ARCH=arm dt_binding_check
$ make ARCH=arm dtbs_check
They are exclusive each other, so you cannot do like this:
$ make ARCH=arm dt_binding_check dtbs_check
In this case, dt-doc-validate and dt-extract-example are skipped
because CHECK_DTBS is set.
Let's make it possible to run these two targets in a single command.
It will be useful for schema writers.

'make dtbs_check' checks the shecma in addition to building *.dtb files,
in other words, 'make dtbs_check' is a super-set of 'make dtbs'.
So, you do not have to do 'make dtbs dtbs_check', but I want to keep
the build system as robust as possible in any use.
Currently, 'dtbs' and 'dtbs_check' are independent of each other.
In parallel building, two threads descend into arch/*/boot/dts/,
one for dtbs and the other for dtbs_check, then end up with building
the same DTB simultaneously.
This commit fixes the concurrency issue. Otherwise, I see build errors
like follows:

When doing a cold build, autoksyms.h starts empty, and is updated late
in the build process to have visibility over the symbols used by in-tree
drivers. But since the symbol whitelist is known upfront, it can be used
to pre-populate autoksyms.h and maximize the amount of code that can be
compiled to its final state in a single pass, hence reducing build time.
Do this by using gen_autoksyms.sh to initialize autoksyms.h instead of
creating an empty file.

Most of the Kconfig commands (except defconfig and all*config) read
the .config file as a base set of CONFIG options.
When it does not exist, the files in DEFCONFIG_LIST are searched in
this order and loaded if found.
I do not see much sense in the last two lines in DEFCONFIG_LIST.
[1] ARCH_DEFCONFIG
The entry for DEFCONFIG_LIST is guarded by 'depends on !UML'. So, the
ARCH_DEFCONFIG definition in arch/x86/um/Kconfig is meaningless.
arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Kconfig define ARCH_DEFCONFIG depending on 32 or
64 bit variant symbols. This is a little bit strange; ARCH_DEFCONFIG
should be a fixed string because the base config file is loaded before
the symbol evaluation stage.
Using KBUILD_DEFCONFIG makes more sense because it is fixed before
Kconfig is invoked. Fortunately, arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Makefile define it
in the same way, and it works as expected. Hence, replace ARCH_DEFCONFIG
with "arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)".
[2] arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig
This file path is no longer valid. The defconfig files are always located
in the arch configs/ directories.
$ find arch -name defconfig | sort
arch/alpha/configs/defconfig
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
arch/csky/configs/defconfig
arch/nds32/configs/defconfig
arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
arch/s390/configs/defconfig
arch/unicore32/configs/defconfig
The path arch/*/configs/defconfig is already covered by
"arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)". So, this file path is
not necessary.
I moved the default KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to the top Makefile. Otherwise,
the 7 architectures listed above would end up with endless loop of
syncconfig.

This CONFIG option was added by commit 35bb5b1e0e ("Add option to
enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4"). At that time, the cc-option
check was needed.
According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the current minimal
supported version of GCC is 4.6, so you can assume GCC supports it.
Clang supports it as well.
Remove the cc-option switch and redundant comments.
