| * | kbuild: add machine size to CHECKFLAGSLuc Van Oostenryck2018-06-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64 and 32bit when compiled on anything else. This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings. Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT, to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs). Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel depends on macros like __BYTE_ORDER__, __BIG_ENDIAN__ or __LITTLE_ENDIAN__. OTOH, sparse doesn't know about the endianness of the kernel and by default uses the same as the machine on which sparse was built. Ensure that sparse can predefine the macros corresponding to how the kernel was configured by adding -m{big,little}-endian to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs). Also, remove the equivalent done in arch specific Makefiles. Signed-off-by: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

The problem is that ARM specific part of scripts/gcc-goto.sh fails with PIE even with recent gcc versions. Moving the asm goto detection up in Makefile put it before the place where we disable PIE. As a result, kernel is built without jump label support. Move the lines disabling PIE before the asm goto test to make it work.

* kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map to make __FILE__ a relative pathMasahiro Yamada2018-04-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __FILE__ macro is used everywhere in the kernel to locate the file printing the log message, such as WARN_ON(), etc. If the kernel is built out of tree, this can be a long absolute path, like this: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at /path/to/build/directory/arch/arm64/kernel/foo.c:... This is because Kbuild runs in the objtree instead of the srctree, then __FILE__ is expanded to a file path prefixed with $(srctree)/. Commit 9da0763bdd82 ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in a subdir of the source tree") improved this to some extent; $(srctree) becomes ".." if the objtree is a child of the srctree. For other cases of out-of-tree build, __FILE__ is still the absolute path. It also means the kernel image depends on where it was built. A brand-new option from GCC, -fmacro-prefix-map, solves this problem. If your compiler supports it, __FILE__ is the relative path from the srctree regardless of O= option. This provides more readable log and more reproducible builds. Please note __FILE__ is always an absolute path for external modules. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

However, this does not address the case where both Python 2.x and 3.x scripts are used in one source tree. PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) provides a convention for Python scripts portability. Here is a quotation: In order to tolerate differences across platforms, all new code that needs to invoke the Python interpreter should not specify 'python', but rather should specify either 'python2' or 'python3'. This distinction should be made in shebangs, when invoking from a shell script, when invoking via the system() call, or when invoking in any other context. One exception to this is scripts that are deliberately written to be source compatible with both Python 2.x and 3.x. Such scripts may continue to use python on their shebang line without affecting their portability. To meet this requirement, this commit adds new variables 'PYTHON2' and 'PYTHON3'. arch/ia64/scripts/unwcheck.py is the only script that has ever used $(PYTHON). Recent commit bd5edbe67794 ("ia64: convert unwcheck.py to python3") converted it to be compatible with both Python 2.x and 3.x, so this is the exceptional case where the use of 'python' is allowed. So, I did not touch arch/ia64/Makefile. tools/perf/Makefile.config sets PYTHON and PYTHON2 by itself, so it is not affected by this commit.

| * kconfig: rename silentoldconfig to syncconfigMasahiro Yamada2018-03-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a historical misnomer. That commit removed it from help and docs since it is an internal interface. If so, it should be allowed to rename it to something more intuitive. 'syncconfig' is the one I came up with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize include/generated/autoconf.h and include/config/* with it. You should not manually invoke 'silentoldcofig'. Display warning if used in case existing scripts are doing wrong.

[1] A user runs 'make' [2] First build with empty autoksyms.h [3] adjust_autoksyms.sh updates autoksyms.h and recurses 'make vmlinux' --------(begin sub-make)-------- [4] Second build with new autoksyms.h [5] link-vmlinux.sh is invoked because vmlinux is missing ---------(end sub-make)--------- [6] link-vmlinux.sh is invoked again despite vmlinux is up-to-date. The reason of [6] is probably because Make already decided to update vmlinux at the time of [2] because vmlinux was missing when Make built up the dependency graph. Because if_changed is implemented based on $?, this issue can be narrowed down to how Make handles $?. You can test it with the following simple code: [Test Makefile] A: B @echo newer prerequisite: $? cp B A B: C cp C B touch A [Result] $ rm -f A B $ touch C $ make cp C B touch A newer prerequisite: B cp B A Here, 'A' has been touched in the recipe of 'B'. So, the dependency 'A: B' has already been met before the recipe of 'A' is executed. However, Make does not notice the fact that the recipe of 'B' also updates 'A' as a side-effect. The situation is similar in this case; the vmlinux has actually been updated in the vmlinux_prereq target. Make cannot predict this, so judges the vmlinux is old. link-vmlinux.sh is costly, so it is better to not run it when unneeded. Split CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS recursion to a dedicated target. The reason of commit 2441e78b1919 ("kbuild: better abstract vmlinux sequential prerequisites") was to cater to CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC, but it was later removed by commit 184892925118 ("samples: move blackfin gptimers-example from Documentation").

From Nicolas' comment [1], he did not seem to be sure about the root cause. I guess I figured it out, so here is a fix-up I think is more correct. According to the error log in the original post [2], the build failed in scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c scripts/mod/Makefile is descended from scripts/Makefile, which is invoked from the top-level Makefile by the 'scripts' target. To build vmlinux and/or modules, Kbuild descend into $(vmlinux-dirs). This depends on 'prepare' and 'scripts' as follows: $(vmlinux-dirs): prepare scripts Because there is no dependency between 'prepare' and 'scripts', the parallel building can execute them simultaneously. 'prepare' depends on 'prepare1', which touched autoksyms.h, while 'scripts' descends into script/, then scripts/mod/, which needs <generated/autoksyms.h> if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS. It was the reason of the race. I am not happy to have unrelated code in the Kconfig Makefile, so getting it back to the top Makefile. I removed the standalone test target because I want to use it to create an empty autoksyms.h file. Here is a little improvement; unnecessary autoksyms.h is not created when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled.

I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users. In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees. [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ] The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases. After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline gcc support: - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc. - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]" This really says it all: 2498 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 467668 deletions(-) * tag 'arch-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (74 commits) MAINTAINERS: UNICORE32: Change email account staging: iio: remove iio-trig-bfin-timer driver tty: hvc: remove tile driver tty: remove bfin_jtag_comm and hvc_bfin_jtag drivers serial: remove tile uart driver serial: remove m32r_sio driver serial: remove blackfin drivers serial: remove cris/etrax uart drivers usb: Remove Blackfin references in USB support usb: isp1362: remove blackfin arch glue usb: musb: remove blackfin port usb: host: remove tilegx platform glue pwm: remove pwm-bfin driver i2c: remove bfin-twi driver spi: remove blackfin related host drivers watchdog: remove bfin_wdt driver can: remove bfin_can driver mmc: remove bfin_sdh driver input: misc: remove blackfin rotary driver input: keyboard: remove bf54x driver ...

The product line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer uses the Tile architecture. There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future. Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

Issue is that the map was wrongly identified as a prog! Above kernel was compiled with clang 4.0, and it turns out that clang decided to merge the bpf_prog_iops and bpf_map_iops into a single memory location, such that the two i_ops could then not be distinguished anymore. Reason for this miscompilation is that clang has the more aggressive -fmerge-all-constants enabled by default. In fact, clang source code has a comment about it in lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp on why it is okay to do so: Pointers with different bases cannot represent the same object. (Note that clang defaults to -fmerge-all-constants, which can lead to inconsistent results for comparisons involving the address of a constant; this generally doesn't matter in practice.) The issue never appeared with gcc however, since gcc does not enable -fmerge-all-constants by default and even *explicitly* states in it's option description that using this flag results in non-conforming behavior, quote from man gcc: Languages like C or C++ require each variable, including multiple instances of the same variable in recursive calls, to have distinct locations, so using this option results in non-conforming behavior. There are also various clang bug reports open on that matter [1], where clang developers acknowledge the non-conforming behavior, and refer to disabling it with -fno-merge-all-constants. But even if this gets fixed in clang today, there are already users out there that triggered this. Thus, fix this issue by explicitly adding -fno-merge-all-constants to the kernel's Makefile to generically disable this optimization, since potentially other places in the kernel could subtly break as well. Note, there is also a flag called -fmerge-constants (not supported by clang), which is more conservative and only applies to strings and it's enabled in gcc's -O/-O2/-O3/-Os optimization levels. In gcc's code, the two flags -fmerge-{all-,}constants share the same variable internally, so when disabling it via -fno-merge-all-constants, then we really don't merge any const data (e.g. strings), and text size increases with gcc (14,927,214 -> 14,942,646 for vmlinux.o). $ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 foo.c -S -o foo.S -> foo.S lists -fmerge-constants under options enabled $ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 -fno-merge-all-constants foo.c -S -o foo.S -> foo.S doesn't list -fmerge-constants under options enabled $ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 -fno-merge-all-constants -fmerge-constants foo.c -S -o foo.S -> foo.S lists -fmerge-constants under options enabled Thus, as a workaround we need to set both -fno-merge-all-constants *and* -fmerge-constants in the Makefile in order for text size to stay as is.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, sparse issues warnings on code using an attribute it doesn't know about. One of the problem with this is that these warnings have no value for the developer, it's just noise for him. At best these warnings tell something about some deficiencies of sparse itself but not about a potential problem with code analyzed. A second problem with this is that sparse release are, alas, less frequent than new attributes are added to GCC. So, avoid the noise by asking sparse to not warn about attributes it doesn't know about.

'make oldconfig' updates just .config and doesn't touch the include/config/ tree. This came up in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/12/415. While fixing the comment, make it more informative by explaining the purpose of the unfortunately named silentoldconfig. I can't make sense of the comment re. auto.conf.cmd and a cleaned tree. include/config/auto.conf and include/config/auto.conf.cmd are both created simultaneously by silentoldconfig (in scripts/kconfig/confdata.c, by conf_write_autoconf()), and nothing seems to remove auto.conf.cmd that wouldn't remove auto.conf. Remove that part of the comment rather than blindly copying it. It might be a leftover from an older way of doing things. The include/config/auto.conf.cmd prerequisite might be there to ensure that silentoldconfig gets rerun if conf_write_autoconf() fails between writing out auto.conf.cmd and auto.conf (a comment in the function indicates that auto.conf is deliberately written out last to mark completion of the operation). It seems the Makefile dependency between include/config/auto.conf and .config would already take care of that though, since include/config/auto.conf would still be out of date re. .config if the operation fails. Cop out and leave the prerequisite in for now. Signed-off-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
