If we attempt to read a value that is not available to GDB, an exception
is raised. Most of the time, this is a good thing; however on occasion
we will want to be able to determine if a symbol is available.
By catching the exception to simply return None, we can determine if we
tried to read an invalid value, without the exception taking our
execution context away from us

This is similar to the existing -Wunused-but-set-variable warning

the same here. Once we have eliminated the majority of the

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.

If choices consist of choice_values of type tristate that depend on
symbols set to 'm', those choice_values are not set to 'n' if the
choice is changed from 'm' to 'y' (in which case only one active
choice_value is allowed). Those values are also written to the config
file causing modules to be built when they should not.
The following config can be used to reproduce and examine the problem;
with the frontend of your choice set "Choice 0" and "Choice 1" to 'm',
then set "Tristate Choice" to 'y' and save the configuration:
config modules
boolean modules
default y
option modules
config dependency
tristate "Dependency"
default m
choice
prompt "Tristate Choice"
default choice0
config choice0
tristate "Choice 0"
config choice1
tristate "Choice 1"
depends on dependency
endchoice
This patch sets tristate choice_values' visibility that depend on
symbols set to 'm' to 'n' if the corresponding choice is set to 'y'.
This makes them disappear from the choice list and will also cause the
choice_values' value set to 'n' in sym_calc_value() and as a result
they are written as "not set" to the resulting .config file.

Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading
of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible
value fails.
For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible
"fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960". Since the
driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific
integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table.
This results in the device compatible
"of:NvpuT<NULL>Cfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias
"of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369ab
("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it
matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*".
This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the
wildcard and one with "C*" appended.
$ modinfo coda | grep imx6q
alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC*
alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu

In order to protect against file removal races, debugfs files created via
debugfs_create_file() now get wrapped by a struct file_operations at their
opening.
If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against removal
races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed by creating
the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe().
In order to help debugfs users who use the common
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file()
idiom to transition to removal safe struct file_operations, the helper
macro DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() has been introduced.
Thus, the preferred strategy is to use
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
now.
Introduce a Coccinelle script that searches for
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE()-defined struct file_operations handed into
debugfs_create_file(). Suggest to turn these usages into the
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
pattern.

On ARM, the linker may emit veneers to deal with relative branch
instructions that appear too far away from their targets. Since the
second kallsyms pass results in an increase of the kernel size, it may
result in additional veneers to be emitted, potentially affecting the
output of kallsyms itself if these symbols are visible to it, and for
that reason, symbols whose names end in '_veneer' are ignored explicitly.
However, when building Thumb2 kernels, such veneers are named differently
if they also incur a mode switch, and since they are not filtered by
kallsyms, they may cause the build to fail. So filter symbols whose names
end in '_from_arm' or '_from_thumb' as well.

Given the list of exported symbols needed by all modules, we can create
a header file containing preprocessor defines for each of those symbols.
Also, when some symbols are added and/or removed from the list, we can
update the time on the corresponding files used as build dependencies for
those symbols. And finally, if any symbol did change state, the
corresponding source files must be rebuilt.
The insertion or removal of an EXPORT_SYMBOL() entry within a module may
create or remove the need for another exported symbol. This is why this
operation has to be repeated until the list of needed exported symbols
becomes stable. Only then the final kernel and modules link take place.

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.

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.

Kernel modules are partially linked object files with some undefined
symbols that are expected to be matched with EXPORT_SYMBOL() entries
from elsewhere.
Each .tmp_versions/*.mod file currently contains two line of text
separated by a newline character. The first line has the actual module
file name while the second line has a list of object files constituting
that module. Those files are parsed by modpost (scripts/mod/sumversion.c),
scripts/Makefile.modpost, scripts/Makefile.modsign, etc. Only the
modpost utility cares about the second line while the others retrieve
only the first line.
Therefore we can add a third line to record the list of undefined symbols
aka required EXPORT_SYMBOL() entries for each module into that file
without breaking anything. Like for the second line, symbols are separated
by a blank and the list is terminated with a newline character.
To avoid needless build overhead, the undefined symbols extraction is
performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.

-fsanitize=* options makes GCC less smart than usual and increase number
of 'maybe-uninitialized' false-positives. So this patch does two things:
* Add -Wno-maybe-uninitialized to CFLAGS_UBSAN which will disable all
such warnings for instrumented files.
* Remove CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL from all[yes|mod]config builds. So
the all[yes|mod]config build goes without -fsanitize=* and still with
-Wmaybe-uninitialized.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.
On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.
Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.
Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

Commit c6bda7c988 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with
relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a
symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A
type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the
toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to
the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these
symbols should be updated as well.
For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute
(kindly provided by Guenter Roeck):
f035a420 A _etext
f03d9000 A _sdata
f03de8c4 A jiffies
f03f8860 A _edata
f03fc000 A __init_begin
f041bdc8 A __init_text_end
f0423000 A __bss_start
f0423000 A __init_end
f044457d A __bss_stop
f044457d A _end
On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed:
ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align
ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page
ffffffff81d3d000 A _end
Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results
in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it
is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated
at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is
perhaps not a good idea.
So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and
when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose
addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that
still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check
against the 'A' type.

scripts/kallsyms.c has a special --absolute-percpu command line option
which deals with the zero based per cpu offsets that are used when
building for SMP on x86_64. This means that the option should only be
passed in that case, so add a Kconfig symbol with the correct predicate,
and use that instead.

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.
Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."
This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace
warning").

asm volatile and all its variants like __asm__ __volatile__ ("<foo>")
are reported as errors with "Macros with with complex values should be

Make an exception for these asm volatile macro definitions by converting
the "asm volatile" to "asm_volatile" so it appears as a single function
