Currently, *.mod is created as a side-effect of obj-m. Split out *.mod as a dedicated build rule, which allows to unify the %.c -> %.o rule, and remove the single-used-m rule. This also makes the incremental build of allmodconfig faster because it saves $(NM) invocation when there is no change in the module. Signed-off-by:

The current format of *.mod is like this: line 1: directory path to the .ko file line 2: a list of objects linked into this module line 3: unresolved symbols (only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y) Now that *.mod and *.ko are created in the same directory, the line 1 provides no valuable information. It can be derived by replacing the extension .mod with .ko. In fact, nobody uses the first line any more. Cut down the first line. Signed-off-by:

While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules, but do not link final *.ko files; it is done in the modpost. To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR) for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so. Later, commit 551559e1 ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of *.mod files. $(MODVERDIR) has a flat directory structure, that is, *.mod files are named only with base names. This is based on the assumption that the module name is unique across the tree. This assumption is really fragile. Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name conflict: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991 In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously. Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence commit 3a48a919 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names") introduced a new checker script. However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages. To fix this issue completely, create *.mod with full directory path so that two threads never attempt to write to the same file. $(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed. Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending. I also killed cmd_secanalysis; scripts/mod/sumversion.c computes MD4 hash for modules with MODULE_VERSION(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y, it occurs not only in the modpost stage, but also during directory descending, where sumversion.c may parse stale *.mod files. It would emit 'No such file or directory' warning when an object consisting a module is renamed, or when a single-obj module is turned into a multi-obj module or vice versa. Signed-off-by:

Currently, only the top-level modules.order drops duplicated entries. The modules.order files in sub-directories potentially contain duplication.

Removing the 'kernel/' prefix will make our life easier because we can simply do 'cat modules.order' to get all built modules with full paths. Currently, we parse the first line of '*.mod' files in $(MODVERDIR). Since we have duplicated functionality here, I plan to remove MODVERDIR entirely. In fact, modules.order is generated also for external modules in a broken format. It adds the 'kernel/' prefix to the absolute path of the module, like this: kernel//path/to/your/external/module/foo.ko This is fine for now since modules.order is not used for external modules. However, I want to sanitize the format everywhere towards the goal of removing MODVERDIR. We cannot change the format of installed module.{order,builtin}. So, 'make modules_install' will add the 'kernel/' prefix while copying them to $(MODLIB)/. Signed-off-by:

Currently, $(objtree)/modules.order is touched in two places. In the 'prepare0' rule, scripts/Makefile.build creates an empty modules.order while processing 'obj=.' In the 'modules' rule, the top-level Makefile overwrites it with the correct list of modules. While this might be a good side-effect that modules.order is made empty every time (probably this is not intended functionality), I personally do not like this behavior. Create modules.order only when it is sensible to do so. This avoids creating the following pointless files: scripts/basic/modules.order scripts/dtc/modules.order scripts/gcc-plugins/modules.order scripts/genksyms/modules.order scripts/mod/modules.order scripts/modules.order scripts/selinux/genheaders/modules.order scripts/selinux/mdp/modules.order scripts/selinux/modules.order Going forward, $(objtree)/modules.order lists the modules that was built in the last successful build.

Since commit 00c864f8 ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the defconfig stage when it is missing. Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some circumstances. To reproduce it, apply the following diff: | --- a/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig | +++ b/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig | @@ -345,14 +345,7 @@ CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDI=y | CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_HID=y | CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_UVC=y | CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_PRINTER=y | -CONFIG_USB_ZERO=m | -CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=m | -CONFIG_USB_ETH=m | -CONFIG_USB_G_NCM=m | -CONFIG_USB_GADGETFS=m | -CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=m | -CONFIG_USB_MASS_STORAGE=m | -CONFIG_USB_G_SERIAL=m | +CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y | CONFIG_MMC=y | CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y | CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y And then, run: $ make ARCH=arm mrproper imx_v6_v7_defconfig You will see CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y is correctly contained in the .config, but not in the auto.conf. Please note drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is included from a choice block in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig. So USB_FUNCTIONFS is a choice value. This is probably a similar situation described in commit beaaddb6 ("kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interact"). When sym_calc_choice() is called, the choice symbol forgets the SYMBOL_DEF_USER unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by the user. The choice symbol is given just one chance to recall it because set_all_choice_values() is called if SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is set. When sym_calc_choice() is called again, the choice symbol forgets it forever, since SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is a one-time aid. Hence, we cannot call sym_clear_all_valid() again and again. It is crazy to repeat set and unset of internal flags. However, we cannot simply get rid of "sym->flags &= flags | ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;" Doing so would re-introduce the problem solved by commit 5d09598d ("kconfig: fix new choices being skipped upon config update"). To work around the issue, conf_write_autoconf() stopped calling sym_clear_all_valid(). conf_write() must be changed accordingly. Currently, it clears SYMBOL_WRITE after the symbol is written into the .config file. This is needed to prevent it from writing the same symbol multiple times in case the symbol is declared in two or more locations. I added the new flag SYMBOL_WRITTEN, to track the symbols that have been written. Anyway, this is a cheesy workaround in order to suppress the issue as far as defconfig is concerned. Handling of choices is totally broken. sym_clear_all_valid() is called every time a user touches a symbol from the GUI interface. To reproduce it, just add a new symbol drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig, then touch around unrelated symbols from menuconfig. USB_FUNCTIONFS will disappear from the .config file. I added the Fixes tag since it is more fatal than before. But, this has been broken since long long time before, and still it is. We should take a closer look to fix this correctly somehow.

This patch continues 10dce8af (fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without deadlock) and c5bf68fe (*: convert stream-like files from nonseekable_open -> stream_open) and teaches steam_open.cocci to consider files as being stream-like not only if they have .llseek=no_llseek, but also if they have .llseek=noop_llseek. This is safe to do: the comment about noop_llseek says This is an implementation of ->llseek useable for the rare special case when userspace expects the seek to succeed but the (device) file is actually not able to perform the seek. In this case you use noop_llseek() instead of falling back to the default implementation of ->llseek. and in general noop_llseek was massively added to drivers in 6038f373 (llseek: automatically add .llseek fop) when changing default for NULL .llseek from NOP to no_llseek with the idea to avoid breaking compatibility, if maybe some user-space program was using lseek on a device without caring about the result, but caring if it was an error or not. Amended semantic patch produces two changes when applied tree-wide: drivers/hid/hid-sensor-custom.c:690:8-24: WARNING: hid_sensor_custom_fops: .read() has stream semantic; safe to change nonseekable_open -> stream_open. drivers/input/mousedev.c:564:1-17: ERROR: mousedev_fops: .read() can deadlock .write(); change nonseekable_open -> stream_open to fix.

This is not a big deal in practice, but I see a slightly better taste in adding '--' to teach it that '-linux-gcc' is an argument instead of a command option.

In old days, Kbuild always used an absolute path for $(srctree). Since commit 890676c6 ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in the source tree"), $(srctree) is '.' when O= was not passed from the command line. Yet, using absolute paths is useful in some cases even without O=, for instance, to create a cscope file with absolute path tags. 'O=.' was known to work as a workaround to force Kbuild to use absolute paths even when you are building in the source tree. Since commit 25b146c5 ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory"), Kbuild is too clever to be tricked. Even if you pass 'O=.' Kbuild notices you are building in the source tree, then use '.' for $(srctree). So, 'make O=. cscope' is no help to create absolute path tags. We cannot force one or the other according to commit e93bc1a0 ("Revert "kbuild: specify absolute paths for cscope""). Both of relative path and absolute path have pros and cons. This commit adds a new flag KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE to allow users to choose the absolute path for $(srctree). 'make KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE=1 cscope' will work as a replacement of 'make O=. cscope'.

In my view, most of headers can be self-contained. So, it would be tedious to add every header to header-test-y explicitly. We usually end up with "all headers with some exceptions". There are two types in exceptions: [1] headers that are never compiled as standalone units For examples, include/linux/compiler-gcc.h is not intended for direct inclusion. We should always exclude such ones. [2] headers that are conditionally compiled as standalone units Some headers can be compiled only for particular architectures. For example, include/linux/arm-cci.h can be compiled only for arm/arm64 because it requires <asm/arm-cci.h> to exist. Clang can compile include/soc/nps/mtm.h only for arc because it contains an arch-specific register in inline assembler. So, you can write Makefile like this: header-test- += linux/compiler-gcc.h header-test-$(CONFIG_ARM) += linux/arm-cci.h header-test-$(CONFIG_ARM64) += linux/arm-cci.h header-test-$(CONFIG_ARC) += soc/nps/mtm.h The new syntax header-test-pattern-y will be useful to specify "the rest". The typical usage is like this: header-test-pattern-y += */*.h This will add all the headers in sub-directories to the test coverage, excluding $(header-test-). In this regards, header-test-pattern-y behaves like a weaker variant of header-test-y. Caveat: The patterns in header-test-pattern-y are prefixed with $(srctree)/$(src)/ but not $(objtree)/$(obj)/. Stale generated headers are often left over when you traverse the git history without cleaning. Wildcard patterns for $(objtree) may match to stale headers, which could fail to compile. One pitfall is $(srctree)/$(src)/ and $(objtree)/$(obj)/ point to the same directory for in-tree building. So, header-test-pattern-y should be used with care since it can potentially match to stale headers. Caveat2: You could use wildcard for header-test-. For example, header-test- += asm-generic/% ... will exclude headers in asm-generic directory. Unfortunately, the wildcard character is '%' instead of '*' here because this is evaluated by $(filter-out ...) whereas header-test-pattern-y is evaluated by $(wildcard ...). This is a kludge, but seems useful in some places... Signed-off-by:

header-test-y does not work with headers in sub-directories. For example, you may want to write a Makefile, like this: include/linux/Kbuild: header-test-y += mtd/nand.h This entry will create a wrapper include/linux/mtd/nand.hdrtest.c with the following content: #include "mtd/nand.h" To make this work, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux to the header search path. It would be tedious to add ccflags-y. Instead, we could change the *.hdrtest.c rule to wrap: #include "nand.h" This works for in-tree build since #include "..." searches in the relative path from the header with this directive. For O=... build, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux/mtd to the header search path, which will be even more tedious. After all, I thought it would be handier to compile headers directly without creating wrappers. I added a new build rule to compile %.h into %.h.s The target is %.h.s instead of %.h.o because it is slightly faster. Also, as for GCC, an empty assembly is smaller than an empty object. I wrote the build rule: $(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c /dev/null -include $< instead of: $(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c $< Both work fine with GCC, but the latter is bad for Clang. This comes down to the difference in the -Wunused-function policy. GCC does not warn about unused 'static inline' functions at all. Clang does not warn about the ones in included headers, but does about the ones in the source. So, we should handle headers as headers, not as source files. In fact, this has been hidden since commit abb2ea7d ("compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"), but we should not rely on that. Signed-off-by:

Previously steam_open.cocci was treating only wait_event_.* - e.g. wait_event_interruptible - as a blocking operation. However e.g. wait_for_completion_interruptible is also blocking, and so from this point of view it would be more logical to treat all wait_.* as a blocking point. The logic of this change actually came up for real when drivers/pci/switch/switchtec.c changed from using wait_event_interruptible to wait_for_completion_interruptible: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20190413170056.GA11293@deco.navytux.spb.ru/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20190415145456.GA15280@deco.navytux.spb.ru/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20190415154102.GB17661@deco.navytux.spb.ru/ For a driver that uses nonseekable_open with read/write having stream semantic and read also calling e.g. wait_for_completion_interruptible, running stream_open.cocci before this patch would produce: WARNING: <driver>_fops: .read() and .write() have stream semantic; safe to change nonseekable_open -> stream_open. while after this patch it will report: ERROR: <driver>_fops: .read() can deadlock .write(); change nonseekable_open -> stream_open to fix.
