Once in a while, it turns out that enabling -fms-extensions could
allow some slightly prettier code. But every time it has come up, the
code that had to be used instead has been deemed "not too awful" and
not worth introducing another compiler flag for.
That's probably true for each individual case, but then it's somewhat
of a chicken/egg situation.
If we just "bite the bullet" as Linus says and enable it once and for
all, it is available whenever a use case turns up, and no individual
case has to justify it.
A lore.kernel.org search provides these examples:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/200706301813.58435.agruen@suse.de/
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180419152817.GD25406@bombadil.infradead.org/

- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjeZwww6Zswn6F_iZTpUihTSNKYppLqj36iQDDhfntuEw@mail.gmail.com/
Undoubtedly, there are more places in the code where this could also
be used but where -fms-extensions just didn't come up in any
discussion.

expecting a relative path by using `realpath --relative-base=.`, but
this only works when the given directory is below the current directory.
`realpath --relative-to=.` will return a relative path in all cases.

In order for tracepoint-update.c to work with modules, it cannot error out
if both "__tracepoint_check" and "__tracepoints_strings" are not found.
When enabled, the vmlinux.o may be required to have both, but modules only
have these sections if they have tracepoints. Modules without tracepoints
will not have either. They should not fail to build because of that.
If one section exists the other one should too. Note, if a module defines
a tracepoint but doesn't use any, it can cause this to fail.
Add a new "--module" parameter to tracepoint-update to be used when
running on module code. It will not error out if this is set and both
sections are missing. If this is set, and only the "__tracepoint_check"
section is missing, it means the module has defined tracepoints but none
of them are used. In that case, it prints a warning that the module has
only unused tracepoints and exits normally to not fail the build.
If the "__tracepoint_check" section exists but not the
"__tracepoint_strings", then that is an error and should fail the build.

If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never
called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still
around in memory and not discarded.
When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the
TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event.
Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes.
Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it
calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check".
For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory
section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the
"__tracepoint_check" section if it is used.
Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is
executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is
discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This
program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check
section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the
__tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name
is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and
a warning is printed.
Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in
modules.
Enabling this currently with a given config produces:
warning: tracepoint 'sched_move_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'sched_stick_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'sched_swap_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'pelt_hw_tp' is unused.

warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_snd_sne_update' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rcv_sne_update' is unused.
Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their
"trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined
tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are
architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should
either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the
architectures they are for.
This tool could be updated to process modules in the future.
I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead
of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations
and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so.
To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1
Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build,
the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when
tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this
isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings
for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this
commit for those warnings.

The 'old' argument in atomic_try_cmpxchg() and related functions is a
pointer to a normal non-atomic integer number, which does not require
to be naturally aligned, unlike the atomic_t/atomic64_t types themselves.
In order to add an alignment check with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC into the
normal instrument_atomic_read_write() helper, change this check to use
the non-atomic instrument_read_write(), the same way that was done
earlier for try_cmpxchg() in commit ec570320b09f ("locking/atomic:
Correct (cmp)xchg() instrumentation").
This prevents warnings on m68k calling the 32-bit atomic_try_cmpxchg()
with 16-bit aligned arguments as well as several more architectures
including x86-32 when calling atomic64_try_cmpxchg() with 32-bit
aligned u64 arguments.

Quoth Mauro:
This series should probably be called:
"Move the trick-or-treat build hacks accumulated over time
into a single place and document them."
as this reflects its main goal. As such:
- it places the jobserver logic on a library;
- it removes sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh;
- the code now properly implements a jobserver-aware logic
to do the parallelism when called via GNU make, failing back to
"-j" when there's no jobserver;
- converts check-variable-fonts.sh to Python and uses it via
function call;
- drops an extra script to generate man pages, adding a makefile
target for it;
- ensures that return code is 0 when PDF successfully builds;
- about half of the script is comments and documentation.
I tried to do my best to document all tricks that are inside the
script. This way, the docs build steps is now documented.
It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this series
to change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved,
but first let's consolidate and document everything on a single
place.
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile is
interesting specially when debug is needed. The command line
interface replaces the need of having lots of env vars before
calling sphinx-build:
$ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --help
usage: sphinx-build-wrapper [-h]
[--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]] [--conf CONF]
[--builddir BUILDDIR] [--theme THEME] [--css CSS] [--paper {,a4,letter}] [-v]
[-j JOBS] [-i] [-V [VENV]]
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Kernel documentation builder
positional arguments:
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Documentation target to build
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]
Specific directories to build
--conf CONF Sphinx configuration file
--builddir BUILDDIR Sphinx configuration file
--theme THEME Sphinx theme to use
--css CSS Custom CSS file for HTML/EPUB
--paper {,a4,letter} Paper size for LaTeX/PDF output
-v, --verbose place build in verbose mode
-j, --jobs JOBS Sets number of jobs to use with sphinx-build
-i, --interactive Change latex default to run in interactive mode
-V, --venv [VENV] If used, run Sphinx from a venv dir (default dir: sphinx_latest)
the only mandatory argument is the target, which is identical with
"make" targets.
The call inside Makefile doesn't use the last four arguments. They're
there to help identifying problems at the build:
-v makes the output verbose;
-j helps to test parallelism;
-i runs latexmk in interactive mode, allowing to debug PDF
build issues;
-V is useful when testing it with different venvs.
When used with GNU make (or some other make which implements jobserver),
a call like:
make -j <targets> htmldocs
will make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claim
the number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a
"-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can be
overriden via SPHINXDIRS argument.
Visiable changes when compared with the old behavior:
When V=0, the only visible difference is that:
- pdfdocs target now returns 0 on success, 1 on failures.
This addresses an issue over the current process where we
it always return success even on failures;
- it will now print the name of PDF files that failed to build,
if any.
In verbose mode, sphinx-build-wrapper and sphinx-build command lines
are now displayed.

Add a --show-first-changed option to identify where changed functions
begin to diverge:
- Parse 'objtool klp diff' output to find changed functions.
- Run objtool again on each object with --debug-checksum=<funcs>.
- Diff the per-instruction checksum debug output to locate the first
differing instruction.
This can be useful for quickly determining where and why a function
changed.

Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch
module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps:
- Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and
-fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming.
- Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same
options.
- Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate
intermediate binary diff objects.
- Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some
livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c).
- Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage)
using 'objtool klp post-link'.

noise
The __LINE__ macro creates challenges for binary diffing. When a .patch
file adds or removes lines, it shifts the line numbers for all code
below it.
This can cause the code generation of functions using __LINE__ to change
due to the line number constant being embedded in a MOV instruction,
despite there being no semantic difference.
Avoid such false positives by adding a fix-patch-lines script which can
be used to insert a #line directive in each patch hunk affecting the
line numbering. This script will be used by klp-build, which will be
introduced in a subsequent patch.

In preparation for klp-build, defer objtool validation for
CONFIG_KLP_BUILD kernels until the final pre-link archive (e.g.,
vmlinux.o, module-foo.o) is built. This will simplify the process of
generating livepatch modules.
Delayed objtool is generally preferred anyway, and is already standard
for IBT and LTO. Eventually the per-translation-unit mode will be
phased out.

Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate
livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete
rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of
maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
(coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:
- Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
section.
- Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.
Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things. To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.
After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.
Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'. Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.
Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:
- For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
relocations.
- Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:
- Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
symbol is being referenced.
- A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
versa.
A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN and friends are defined differently depending on
whether certain config options enable -ffunction-sections and/or
-fdata-sections.
There's no technical reason for that beyond voodoo coding. Keeping the
separate implementations adds unnecessary complexity, fragments the

Unify the macros by using the same input section patterns across all

This is a prerequisite for the upcoming livepatch klp-build tooling
which will manually enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections via
KCFLAGS.

The run_readelf() function reads the entire output of readelf into a
single shell variable. For large object files with extensive debug
information, the size of this variable can exceed the system's
command-line argument length limit.
When this variable is subsequently passed to sed via `echo "${out}"`, it
triggers an "Argument list too long" error, causing the script to fail.
Fix this by redirecting the output of readelf to a temporary file
instead of a variable. The sed commands are then modified to read from
this file, avoiding the argument length limitation entirely.

The shebang `#!/bin/bash` assumes a fixed path for the bash interpreter.
This path does not exist on some systems, such as NixOS, causing the

Force tools like readelf to use the POSIX/C locale by exporting LANG=C
This ensures ASCII-only output and avoids locale-specific

After commit 5ab23c7923a1 ("modpost: Create modalias for builtin
modules"), relocatable RISC-V kernels with CONFIG_KASAN=y start failing
when attempting to strip the module device table symbols:
riscv64-linux-objcopy: not stripping symbol `__mod_device_table__kmod_irq_starfive_jh8100_intc__of__starfive_intc_irqchip_match_table' because it is named in a relocation
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:97: vmlinux] Error 1
The relocation appears to come from .LASANLOC5 in .data.rel.local:
$ llvm-objdump --disassemble-symbols=.LASANLOC5 --disassemble-all -r drivers/irqchip/irq-starfive-jh8100-intc.o
drivers/irqchip/irq-starfive-jh8100-intc.o: file format elf64-littleriscv
Disassembly of section .data.rel.local:
0000000000000180 <.LASANLOC5>:
...
1d0: 0000 unimp
00000000000001d0: R_RISCV_64 __mod_device_table__kmod_irq_starfive_jh8100_intc__of__starfive_intc_irqchip_match_table
...
This section appears to come from GCC for including additional
information about global variables that may be protected by KASAN.
There appears to be no way to opt out of the generation of these symbols
through either a flag or attribute. Attempting to remove '.LASANLOC*'
with '--strip-symbol' results in the same error as above because these
symbols may refer to (thus have relocation between) each other.
Avoid this build breakage by switching to '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for
removing __mod_device_table__ symbols, as it will only remove the symbol
when there is no relocation pointing to it. While this may result in a
little more bloat in the symbol table in certain configurations, it is
not as bad as outright build failures.

Prior to binutils commit c12d9fa2afe ("Support objcopy
--remove-section=.relaFOO") [1] in 2.32, stripping relocation sections
required the trailing period (i.e., '.rel.*') to work properly.
After commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped"), there is an error with binutils 2.31.1 or earlier
because these sections are not properly removed:
s390-linux-objcopy: st6tO8Ev: symbol `.modinfo' required but not present
s390-linux-objcopy:st6tO8Ev: no symbols
Add the old pattern to resolve this issue (along with a comment to allow
cleaning this when binutils 2.32 or newer is the minimum supported
version). While the aforementioned kbuild change exposes this, the
pattern was originally changed by commit 71d815bf5dfd ("kbuild: Strip
runtime const RELA sections correctly"), where it would still be
incorrect with binutils older than 2.32.

Commit 27758d8c2583 ("kbuild: enable -Werror for hostprogs")
unconditionally enabled -Werror for the compiler, assembler, and linker
when building the host programs, as the build footprint of the host
programs is small (thus risk of build failures from warnings are low)
and that stage of the build may not have Kconfig values (thus
CONFIG_WERROR could not be used as a precondition).
While turning warnings into errors unconditionally happens in a few
places within the kernel, it can be disruptive to people who may be
building with newer compilers, such as while doing a bisect. While it is
possible to avoid this behavior by passing HOSTCFLAGS=-w or
HOSTCFLAGS=-Wno-error, it may not be the most intuitive for regular
users not intimately familiar with Kbuild.
Avoid being disruptive to the entire build by depending on the explicit
opt-in of CONFIG_WERROR or W=e to enable -Werror and the like while
building the host programs. While this means there is a small portion of
the build that does not have -Werror enabled (namely scripts/kconfig/*
and scripts/basic/fixdep), it is better than not having it altogether.

The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig"
target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these
symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values
from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target
explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed.
The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional
symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with
SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these
symbols unnecessarily.
Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value
gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user
value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to
prevent prompting.
Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults
are not prompted in "oldconfig", except when conditional defaults evaluate
to 'no' and should legitimately be prompted.
Build tested with "make testconfig".

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Derive 'Zeroable' for all structs and unions generated by 'bindgen'
where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the
'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'.
It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more
to come in the next cycle.
- Add warning to the 'rustdoc' target to detect broken 'srctree/'
links and fix existing cases.
- Remove support for unused (since v6.16) host '#[test]'s,
simplifying the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run
within KUnit.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a
power of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid
alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations:
// Checked at build time.
assert_eq!(Alignment::new::<16>().as_usize(), 16);
// Checked at runtime.
assert_eq!(Alignment::new_checked(15), None);
assert_eq!(Alignment::of::<u8>().log2(), 0);
assert_eq!(0x25u8.align_down(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), 0x20);
assert_eq!(0x5u8.align_up(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), Some(0x10));
assert_eq!(u8::MAX.align_up(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), None);
It also includes its first use in Nova.
- Add 'core::mem::{align,size}_of{,_val}' to the prelude, matching
Rust 1.80.0.
- Keep going with the steps on our migration to the standard library
'core::ffi::CStr' type (use 'kernel::{fmt, prelude::fmt!}' and use
upstream method names).
- 'error' module: improve 'Error::from_errno' and 'to_result'
documentation, including examples/tests.
- 'sync' module: extend 'aref' submodule documentation now that it
exists, and more updates to complete the ongoing move of 'ARef' and
'AlwaysRefCounted' to 'sync::aref'.
- 'list' module: add an example/test for 'ListLinksSelfPtr' usage.
- 'alloc' module:
- Implement 'Box::pin_slice()', which constructs a pinned slice of
elements.
- Provide information about the minimum alignment guarantees of
'Kmalloc', 'Vmalloc' and 'KVmalloc'.
- Take minimum alignment guarantees of allocators for
'ForeignOwnable' into account.
- Remove the 'allocator_test' (including 'Cmalloc').
- Add doctest for 'Vec::as_slice()'.
- Constify various methods.
- 'time' module:
- Add methods on 'HrTimer' that can only be called with exclusive
access to an unarmed timer, or from timer callback context.
- Add arithmetic operations to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- Add a few convenience and access methods to 'HrTimer' and
'Instant'.
'macros' crate:
- Reduce collections in 'quote!' macro.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Address the inconsistent shutdown sequence of per CPU clockevents on
CPU hotplug, which only removed it from the core but failed to invoke
the actual device driver shutdown callback. This kept the timer
active, which prevented power savings and caused pointless noise in
virtualization.
- Encapsulate the open coded access to the hrtimer clock base, which is
a private implementation detail, so that the implementation can be
changed without breaking a lot of usage sites.
- Enhance the debug output of the clocksource watchdog to provide
better information for analysis.
- The usual set of cleanups and enhancements all over the place

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.
- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still
using MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case,
it's helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for
other algorithms.
Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use the new
MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.
- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
Curve25519 code.
Consolidate these into one module per algorithm, and centralize the
configuration and build process. This is the same reorganization that
has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.
- Remove the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519.
- Migrate the BLAKE2s and Curve25519 self-tests to KUnit.
