kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs in GCC's inlining decisions. Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files. Currently only x86 will use it. Background: The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes, or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ... Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute for "code size and complexity". Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent practice of putting useful information into alternative sections. As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm() blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine instructions. This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm() blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the way when running on baremetal hardware. Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.) This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount related changes have this impact: Makefile | 9 +++++++-- arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++ arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++ scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++- scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++ 5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read and maintain ... We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

Commit a0f97e06 ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS. Commit 222d394d ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS. Commit 06c5040c ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed. Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental override of the variable. Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the naming convention. I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system is a different world. Signed-off-by:

If Make gets a fatal signal while a shell is executing, it may delete the target file that the recipe was supposed to update. This is needed to make sure that it is remade from scratch when Make is next run; if Make is interrupted after the recipe has begun to write the target file, it results in an incomplete file whose time stamp is newer than that of the prerequisites files. Make automatically deletes the incomplete file on interrupt unless the target is marked .PRECIOUS. The situation is just the same as when the shell fails for some reasons. Usually when a recipe line fails, if it has changed the target file at all, the file is corrupted, or at least it is not completely updated. Yet the file’s time stamp says that it is now up to date, so the next time Make runs, it will not try to update that file. However, Make does not cater to delete the incomplete target file in this case. We need to add .DELETE_ON_ERROR somewhere in the Makefile to request it. scripts/Kbuild.include seems a suitable place to add it because it is included from almost all sub-makes. Please note .DELETE_ON_ERROR is not effective for phony targets. The external module building should never ever touch the kernel tree. The following recipe fails if include/generated/autoconf.h is missing. However, include/config/auto.conf is not deleted since it is a phony target. PHONY += include/config/auto.conf include/config/auto.conf: $(Q)test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e $@ || ( \ echo >&2; \ echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or $@ are missing.";\ echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo >&2 ; \ /bin/false) Signed-off-by:

The comment line for addtree says "skip if -I has no parameter". What it actually does is "drop if -I has no parameter". For example, if you have the compiler flag '-I foo' (a space between), it will be converted to 'foo'. This completely changes the meaning. What we want is, "do nothing" for -I without parameter so that '-I foo' is kept as-is. Signed-off-by:

The kbuild cache was introduced to remember the result of shell commands, some of which are expensive to compute, such as $(call cc-option,...). However, this turned out not so clever as I had first expected. Actually, it is problematic. For example, "$(CC) -print-file-name" is cached. If the compiler is updated, the stale search path causes build error, which is difficult to figure out. Another problem scenario is cache files could be touched while install targets are running under the root permission. We can patch them if desired, but the build infrastructure is getting uglier and uglier. Now, we are going to move compiler flag tests to the configuration phase. If this is completed, the result of compiler tests will be naturally cached in the .config file. We will not have performance issues of incremental building since this testing only happens at Kconfig time. To start this work with a cleaner code base, remove the kbuild cache first.

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but already the objtool build broke with orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’: orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) { Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and -DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS. Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file: * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes: thus a call such as: foo := $(shell echo '#') is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example: foo := $(shell echo '\#') Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable: C := \# foo := $(shell echo '$C') This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason. To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable. This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound) rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the new make.

Currently, linker options are tested by the coordination of $(CC) and $(LD) because $(LD) needs some object to link. As commit 86a9df59 ("kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when cross compiling with Clang") addressed, we need to make sure $(CC) and $(LD) agree the underlying architecture of the passed object. This could be a bit complex when we combine tools from different groups. For example, we can use clang for $(CC), but we still need to rely on GCC toolchain for $(LD). So, I was searching for a way of standalone testing of linker options. A trick I found is to use '-v'; this not only prints the version string, but also tests if the given option is recognized. If a given option is supported, $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU ld (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11) 2.28.2.20170706 $ echo $? 0 If unsupported, $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.04-20130415 - Linaro GCC 2013.04) 2.23.1 aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: unrecognized option '--fix-cortex-a53-843419' aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: use the --help option for usage information $ echo $? 1 Gold works likewise. $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14 masahiro@pug:~/ref/linux$ echo $? 0 $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999 GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14 aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: --fix-cortex-a53-999999: unknown option aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: use the --help option for usage information $ echo $? 1 LLD too. $ ld.lld -v --gc-sections LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 0 $ ld.lld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 0 $ ld.lld -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999 ld.lld: error: unknown argument: --fix-cortex-a53-999999 LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 1 Signed-off-by:

In bracket expressions, POSIX says that <backslash> loses its special meaning, so a conforming implementation cannot expand \t to <tab>[1]. * In BREs, use interval expressions (\{n,m\}) instead of non-standard features like \+ and \?. * Use a loop instead of -s flag.

I was not seeing my linker flags getting added when using ld-option when cross compiling with Clang. Upon investigation, this seems to be due to a difference in how GCC vs Clang handle cross compilation. GCC is configured at build time to support one backend, that is implicit when compiling. Clang is explicit via the use of `-target <triple>` and ships with all supported backends by default. GNU Make feature test macros that compile then link will always fail when cross compiling with Clang unless Clang's triple is passed along to the compiler. For example: $ clang -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: unknown architecture of input file `temp.o' is incompatible with aarch64 output aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400078 $ echo $? 1 $ clang -target aarch64-linux-android- -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000000004002e4 $ echo $? 0 This causes conditional checks that invoke $(CC) without the target triple, then $(LD) on the result, to always fail.

The cache files are only cleaned away by "make clean". If you continue incremental builds, the cache files will grow up little by little. It is not a big deal in general use cases because compiler flags do not change quite often. However, if you do build-test for various architectures, compilers, and kernel configurations, you will end up with huge cache files soon. When the cache file exceeds 1000 lines, shrink it down to 500 by "tail". The Least Recently Added lines are cut. (not Least Recently Used) I hope it will work well enough. Signed-off-by:

While timing a "no-op" build of the kernel (incrementally building the kernel even though nothing changed) in the Chrome OS build system I found that it was much slower than I expected. Digging into things a bit, I found that quite a bit of the time was spent invoking the C compiler even though we weren't actually building anything. Currently in the Chrome OS build system the C compiler is called through a number of wrappers (one of which is written in python!) and can take upwards of 100 ms to invoke even if we're not doing anything difficult, so these invocations of the compiler were taking a lot of time. Worse the invocations couldn't seem to take advantage of the multiple cores on my system. Certainly it seems like we could make the compiler invocations in the Chrome OS build system faster, but only to a point. Inherently invoking a program as big as a C compiler is a fairly heavy operation. Thus even if we can speed the compiler calls it made sense to track down what was happening. It turned out that all the compiler invocations were coming from usages like this in the kernel's Makefile: KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks,) Due to the way cc-option and similar statements work the above contains an implicit call to the C compiler. ...and due to the fact that we're storing the result in KBUILD_CFLAGS, a simply expanded variable, the call will happen every time the Makefile is parsed, even if there are no users of KBUILD_CFLAGS. Rather than redoing this computation every time, it makes a lot of sense to cache the result of all of the Makefile's compiler calls just like we do when we compile a ".c" file to a ".o" file. Conceptually this is quite a simple idea. ...and since the calls to invoke the compiler and similar tools are centrally located in the Kbuild.include file this doesn't even need to be super invasive. Implementing the cache in a simple-to-use and efficient way is not quite as simple as it first sounds, though. To get maximum speed we really want the cache in a format that make can natively understand and make doesn't really have an ability to load/parse files. ...but make _can_ import other Makefiles, so the solution is to store the cache in Makefile format. This requires coming up with a valid/unique Makefile variable name for each value to be cached, but that's solvable with some cleverness. After this change, we'll automatically create a ".cache.mk" file that will contain our cached variables. We'll load this on each invocation of make and will avoid recomputing anything that's already in our cache. The cache is stored in a format that it shouldn't need any invalidation since anything that might change should affect the "key" and any old cached value won't be used. Signed-off-by:

One parameter is the compiler with which the check should be performed, the other the compiler options to be used instead KBUILD_C*FLAGS.

The GCC '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' flag is enabled for most configs, mostly because of issues which are no longer relevant. For most configs, and with most recent versions of GCC, it's no longer needed. Clarify which cases need it, and only enable it for those cases. Also produce a compile-time error for the ftrace graph + mcount + '-Os' case, which will otherwise cause runtime failures. The main benefit of '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' is that it prevents an ugly prologue for functions which have aligned stacks. But removing the option also has some benefits: more readable argument saves, smaller text size, and (presumably) slightly improved performance. Here are the object size savings for 32-bit and 64-bit defconfig kernels: text data bss dec hex filename 10006710 3543328 1773568 15323606 e9d1d6 vmlinux.x86-32.before 9706358 3547424 1773568 15027350 e54c96 vmlinux.x86-32.after text data bss dec hex filename 10652105 4537576 843776 16033457 f4a6b1 vmlinux.x86-64.before 10639629 4537576 843776 16020981 f475f5 vmlinux.x86-64.after That comes out to a 3% text size improvement on x86-32 and a 0.1% text size improvement on x86-64.

When building with separate object directories and driver specific Makefiles that add additional header include paths, Kbuild adjusts the gcc flags so that we include both the directory in the source tree and in the object tree. However, due to another bug I fixed earlier, this did not actually include the correct directory in the object tree, so we know that we only really need the source tree here. Also, including the object tree sometimes causes warnings about nonexisting directories when the include path only exists in the source. This changes the logic to only emit the -I argument for the srctree, not for objects. We still need both $(srctree)/$(src) and $(obj) though, so I'm adding them manually. Signed-off-by:

When we build with O=objdir and objdir is directly below the source tree, $(srctree) becomes '..'. When a Makefile adds a CFLAGS option like -Ipath/to/headers and we are building with a separate object directory, Kbuild tries to add two -I options, one for the source tree and one for the object tree. An absolute path is treated as a special case, and don't add this one twice. This also normally catches -I$(srctree)/$(src) as $(srctree) usually is an absolute directory like /home/arnd/linux/. The combination of the two behaviors however results in an invalid path name to be included: we get both ../$(src) and ../../$(src), the latter one pointing outside of the source tree, usually to a nonexisting directory. Building with 'make W=1' makes this obvious: cc1: error: ../../arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/include: No such file or directory [-Werror=missing-include-dirs] This adds another special case, treating path names starting with ../ like those starting with / so we don't try to prefix that with $(srctree).

Currently, arg-check is implemented as follows: arg-check = $(strip $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)), $(cmd_$@)) \ $(filter-out $(cmd_$@), $(cmd_$(1))) ) This does not care about the order of arguments that appear in $(cmd_$(1)) and $(cmd_$@). So, if_changed and friends never rebuild the target if only the argument order is changed. This is a problem when the link order is changed. Apparently, obj-y += foo.o obj-y += bar.o and obj-y += bar.o obj-y += foo.o should be distinguished because the link order determines the probe order of drivers. So, built-in.o should be rebuilt when the order of objects is changed. This commit fixes arg-check to compare the old/current commands including the argument order. Of course, this change has a side effect; Kbuild will react to the change of compile option order. For example, "-DFOO -DBAR" and "-DBAR -DFOO" should give no difference to the build result, but false positive should be better than false negative. I am moving space_escape to the top of Kbuild.include just for a matter of preference. In practical terms, space_escape can be defined after arg-check because arg-check uses "=" flavor, not ":=". Having said that, collecting convenient variables in one place makes sense from the point of readability. Chaining "%%%SPACE%%%" to "_-_SPACE_-_" is also a matter of taste at this point. Actually, it can be arbitrary as long as it is an unlikely used string. The only problem I see in "%%%SPACE%%%" is that "%" is a special character in "$(patsubst ...)" context. This commit just uses "$(subst ...)" for arg-check, but I am fixing it now in case we might want to use it in $(patsubst ...) context in the future. Signed-off-by:

In kernel/cgroup.c there is: #define SUBSYS(_x) \ DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_enabled_key); \ DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_on_dfl_key); \ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_enabled_key); \ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_on_dfl_key); The expansion of this macro causes multiple EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instances to appear on the same preprocessor line output, confusing the sed script expecting only one of them per line. Unfortunately this can't be fixed nicely in the sed script as sed's regexp can't do non greedy matching. Fix this by turning any semicolon into a line break before filtering. Reported-by:

Like with kconfig options, we now have the ability to compile in and out individual EXPORT_SYMBOL() declarations based on the content of include/generated/autoksyms.h. However we don't want the entire world to be rebuilt whenever that file is touched. Let's apply the same build dependency trick used for CONFIG_* symbols where the time stamp of empty files whose paths matching those symbols is used to trigger fine grained rebuilds. In our case the key is the symbol name passed to EXPORT_SYMBOL(). However, unlike config options, we cannot just use fixdep to parse the source code for EXPORT_SYMBOL(ksym) because several variants exist and parsing them all in a separate tool, and keeping it in synch, is not trivially maintainable. Furthermore, there are variants such as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_user_read_config_##size); that are instanciated via a macro for which we can't easily determine the actual exported symbol name(s) short of actually running the preprocessor on them. Storing the symbol name string in a special ELF section doesn't work for targets that output assembly or preprocessed source. So the best way is really to leverage the preprocessor by having it output actual symbol names anchored by a special sequence that can be easily filtered out. Then the list of symbols is simply fed to fixdep to be merged with the other dependencies. That implies the preprocessor is executed twice for each source file. A previous attempt relied on a warning pragma for each EXPORT_SYMBOL() instance that was filtered apart from stderr by the build system with a sed script during the actual compilation pass. Unfortunately the preprocessor/compiler diagnostic output isn't stable between versions and this solution, although more efficient, was deemed too fragile. Because of the lowercasing performed by fixdep, there might be name collisions triggering spurious rebuilds for similar symbols. But this shouldn't be a big issue in practice. (This is the case for CONFIG_* symbols and I didn't want to be different here, whatever the original reason for doing so.) To avoid needless build overhead, the exported symbol name gathering is performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected. Signed-off-by:

The generation and postprocessing of automatic dependency rules is duplicated in rule_cc_o_c, rule_as_o_S and if_changed_dep. Since this is not a trivial one-liner action, it is now abstracted under cmd_and_fixdep to simplify things and make future changes in this area easier. In the rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S cases that means the order of some commands has been altered, namely fixdep and related file manipulations are executed earlier, but they didn't depend on those commands that now execute later.

Under certain conditions, Kbuild shows "... is up to date" where if_changed or friends are used. For example, the incremental build of ARM64 Linux shows this message when the kernel image has not been updated. $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h CHK kernel/config_data.h make[1]: `arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz' is up to date. Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 0 modules The following is the build rule in arch/arm64/boot/Makefile: $(obj)/Image.gz: $(obj)/Image FORCE $(call if_changed,gzip) If the Image.gz is newer than the Image and the command line has not changed (i.e., $(any-prereq) and $(arg-check) are both empty), the build rule $(call if_changed,gzip) is evaluated to be empty, then GNU Make reports the target is up to date. In order to make GNU Make quiet, we need to give it something to do, for example, "@:". This should be fixed in the Kbuild core part rather than in each Makefile. Signed-off-by:

We cannot detect clang before including the arch Makefile, because that can set the default cross compiler. We also cannot detect clang after including the arch Makefile, because powerpc wants to know about clang. Solve this by using an deferred variable. This costs us a few shell invocations, but this is only a constant number. Reported-by:

Since commit 1329e8cc ("modsign: Extract signing cert from CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY if needed"), the build system has carefully coped with the signing key being specified as a relative path in either the source or or the build trees. However, the actual signing of modules has not worked if the filename is relative to the source tree. Fix that by moving the config_filename helper into scripts/Kbuild.include so that it can be used from elsewhere, and then using it in the top-level Makefile to find the signing key file. Kill the intermediate $(MODPUBKEY) and $(MODSECKEY) variables too, while we're at it. There's no need for them. Signed-off-by:

The shorthand "clean" is defined in both the top Makefile and scripts/Makefile.clean. Likewise, the "hdr-inst" is defined in both the top Makefile and scripts/Makefile.headersinst. To reduce code duplication, this commit collects them into scripts/Kbuild.include like the "build" and "modbuiltin" shorthands. It requires scripts/Makefile.clean to include scripts/Kbuild.include, but its impact on the performance of "make clean" should be negligible. Signed-off-by:
