Make use of an upcoming GCC feature to mitigate
straight-line-speculation for x86:
https://gcc.gnu.org/g:53a643f8568067d7700a9f2facc8ba39974973d3
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102952
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52323
It's built tested on x86_64-allyesconfig using GCC-12 and GCC-11.
Maintenance overhead of this should be fairly low due to objtool
validation.
Size overhead of all these additional int3 instructions comes to:

For CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the objtool processing is not possible at the
compilation, hence postponed by the link time.
Reuse $(cmd_objtool) for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y by defining objtool-enabled
properly.
For CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y:
objtool-enabled is off for %.o compilation
objtool-enabled is on for %.lto link
For CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=n:
objtool-enabled is on for %.o compilation
(but, it depends on OBJECT_FILE_NON_STANDARD)
Set part-of-module := y for %.lto.o to avoid repeating --module.

Redo commit 8852c5524029 ("kbuild: Fix objtool dependency for
'OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_<obj> := n'") to add the objtool
dependency in a cleaner way.
Using .SECONDEXPANSION ends up with unreadable code due to escaped
dollars. Also, it is not efficient because the second half of
Makefile.build is parsed twice every time.
Append the objtool dependency to the *.cmd files at the build time.
This is what fixdep and gen_ksymdeps.sh already do. So, following the
same pattern seems a natural solution.
This allows us to drop $$(objtool_dep) entirely.

objtool_dep includes include/config/{ORC_UNWINDER,STACK_VALIDATION}
so that all the objects are rebuilt when CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER or
CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION is toggled.
BTW, the correct option name is not CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER, but
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC. Commit 11af847446ed ("x86/unwind: Rename
unwinder config options to 'CONFIG_UNWINDER_*'") missed to
adjust this part. So, this dependency has been broken for a
long time.
As you can see in 'objtool_args', there are more CONFIG options
that affect the objtool command line.
Adding more and more include/config/* is ugly and unmaintainable.
Another issue is that non-standard objects are needlessly rebuilt.
Objects specified as OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD is not processed by
objtool, but they are rebuilt anyway when CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION
is toggled. This is not a big deal, but better to fix.
A cleaner and more precise fix is to include the objtool command in
*.cmd files so any command change is naturally detected by if_change.

Commit b1a1a1a09b46 ("kbuild: lto: postpone objtool") moved objtool_args
to Makefile.lib, so the arguments can be used in Makefile.modfinal as
well as Makefile.build.
With commit 850ded46c642 ("kbuild: Fix TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS with
LTO_CLANG"), module LTO linking came back to scripts/Makefile.build
again.
So, there is no more reason to keep objtool_args in a separate file.

cmd_update_lto_symversions merges all the existing *.symversions, but
some of them might be stale.
If the last EXPORT_SYMBOL is removed from a C file, the *.symversions
file is not deleted or updated. It contains stale CRCs, but still they
will be used for linking the vmlinux or modules.
It is not a big deal when the EXPORT_SYMBOL is really removed. However,
when the EXPORT_SYMBOL is moved to another file, the same __crc_<symbol>
will appear twice in the merged *.symversions, possibly with different
CRCs if the function argument is changed at the same time. It would
confuse module versioning.
If no EXPORT_SYMBOL is found, let's remove *.symversions explicitly.

With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, we currently link modules into native
code just before modpost, which means with TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
enabled, we still look at the LLVM bitcode in the .o files when
generating the list of used symbols. As the bitcode doesn't
yet have calls to compiler intrinsics and llvm-nm doesn't see
function references that only exist in function-level inline
assembly, we currently need a whitelist for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS to
work with LTO.
This change moves module LTO linking to happen earlier, and
thus avoids the issue with LLVM bitcode and TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
entirely, allowing us to also drop the whitelist from
gen_autoksyms.sh.

When building modules(CONFIG_...=m), I found some of module versions
are incorrect and set to 0.
This can be found in build log for first clean build which shows
WARNING: EXPORT symbol "XXXX" [drivers/XXX/XXX.ko] version generation failed,
symbol will not be versioned.
But in second build(incremental build), the WARNING disappeared and the
module version becomes valid CRC and make someone who want to change
modules without updating kernel image can't insert their modules.
The problematic code is
+ $(foreach n, $(filter-out FORCE,$^), \
+ $(if $(wildcard $(n).symversions), \
+ ; cat $(n).symversions >> $@.symversions))
For example:
rm -f fs/notify/built-in.a.symversions ; rm -f fs/notify/built-in.a; \
llvm-ar cDPrST fs/notify/built-in.a fs/notify/fsnotify.o \
fs/notify/notification.o fs/notify/group.o ...
`foreach n` shows nothing to `cat` into $(n).symversions because
`if $(wildcard $(n).symversions)` return nothing, but actually
they do exist during this line was executed.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168580 Jun 13 19:10 fs/notify/fsnotify.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Jun 13 19:10 fs/notify/fsnotify.o.symversions
The reason is the $(n).symversions are generated at runtime, but
Makefile wildcard function expends and checks the file exist or not
during parsing the Makefile.
Thus fix this by use `test` shell command to check the file
existence in runtime.

I do not see a good reason why only the libelf development package must
be so carefully checked.
Kbuild generally does not check host tools or libraries.
For example, x86_64 defconfig fails to build with no libssl development
package installed.
scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory
21 | #include <openssl/bio.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To solve the build error, you need to install libssl-dev or openssl-devel
package, depending on your distribution.
'apt-file search', 'dnf provides', etc. is your frined to find a proper
package to install.
This commit removes all the libelf checks from the top Makefile.
If libelf is missing, objtool will fail to build in a similar pattern:
.../linux/tools/objtool/include/objtool/elf.h:10:10: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory
10 | #include <gelf.h>
You need to install libelf-dev, libelf-devel, or elfutils-libelf-devel
to proceed.
Another remarkable change is, CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION (without
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC) previously continued to build with a warning,
but now it will treat missing libelf as an error.
This is just a one-time installation, so it should not hurt to break
a build and make a user install the package.
BTW, the traditional way to handle such checks is autotool, but according
to [1], I do not expect the kernel build would have similar scripting
like './configure' does.

"OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_vma.o := n" has a dependency bug. When
objtool source is updated, the affected object doesn't get re-analyzed
by objtool.
Peter's new variable-sized jump label feature relies on objtool
rewriting the object file. Otherwise the system can fail to boot. That
effectively upgrades this minor dependency issue to a major bug.
The problem is that variables in prerequisites are expanded early,
during the read-in phase. The '$(objtool_dep)' variable indirectly uses
'$@', which isn't yet available when the target prerequisites are
evaluated.
Use '.SECONDEXPANSION:' which causes '$(objtool_dep)' to be expanded in
a later phase, after the target-specific '$@' variable has been defined.

VPATH is used in Kbuild to make pattern rules search for prerequisites
in both $(objtree) and $(srctree). Some of *.c, *.S files are not real
sources, but generated by tools such as flex, bison, perl.
In contrast, I doubt the benefit of --include-dir=$(abs_srctree) because
it is always clear which Makefiles are real sources, and which are not.
So, my hope is to add $(srctree)/ prefix to all check-in Makefiles,
then remove --include-dir=$(abs_srctree) flag in the future.
I am touching only some Kbuild core parts for now. Treewide fixes will
be needed to achieve this goal.

With LTO, LLVM bitcode won't be compiled into native code until
modpost_link, or modfinal for modules. This change postpones calls
to objtool until after these steps, and moves objtool_args to
Makefile.lib, so the arguments can be reused in Makefile.modfinal.
As we didn't have objects to process earlier, we use --duplicate

This change adds build system support for Clang's Link Time
Optimization (LTO). With -flto, instead of ELF object files, Clang
produces LLVM bitcode, which is compiled into native code at link
time, allowing the final binary to be optimized globally. For more
details, see:
https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html
The Kconfig option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is implemented as a choice,
which defaults to LTO being disabled. To use LTO, the architecture
must select ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG and support:
- compiling with Clang,
- compiling all assembly code with Clang's integrated assembler,
- and linking with LLD.
While using CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL results in the best runtime
performance, the compilation is not scalable in time or
memory. CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN enables ThinLTO, which allows
parallel optimization and faster incremental builds. ThinLTO is
used by default if the architecture also selects
ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG_THIN:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThinLTO.html
To enable LTO, LLVM tools must be used to handle bitcode files, by
passing LLVM=1 and LLVM_IAS=1 options to make:
$ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
$ scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
$ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
To prepare for LTO support with other compilers, common parts are
gated behind the CONFIG_LTO option, and LTO can be disabled for
specific files by filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO.

"xargs echo" is not a safe way to remove line breaks because the input
may exceed the command line limit and xargs may break it up into
multiple invocations of echo. This should never happen because
scripts/gen_autoksyms.sh expects all undefined symbols are placed in
the second line of .mod files.
One possible way is to replace "xargs echo" with
"sed ':x;N;$!bx;s/\n/ /g'" or something, but I rewrote the code by
using awk because it is more readable.
This issue was reported by Sami Tolvanen; in his Clang LTO patch set,
$(multi-used-m) is no longer an ELF object, but a thin archive that
contains LLVM bitcode files. llvm-nm prints out symbols for each
archive member separately, which results a lot of dupications, in some
places, beyond the system-defined limit.
This problem must be fixed irrespective of LTO, and we must ensure
zero possibility of having this issue.

The host shared library rules are currently implemented in
scripts/Makefile.host, but actually GCC-plugin is the only user of
them. (The VDSO .so files are built for the target by different
build rules) Hence, they do not need to be treewide available.
Move all the relevant build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile.
I also optimized the build steps so *.so is directly built from .c
because every upstream plugin is compiled from a single source file.
I am still keeping the multi-file plugin support, which Kees Cook
mentioned might be needed by out-of-tree plugins.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/11/1107)
If the plugin, foo.so, is compiled from two files foo.c and foo2.c,
then you can do like follows:
foo-objs := foo.o foo2.o
Single-file plugins do not need the *-objs notation.

Kbuild supports the infrastructure to build host programs, but there
was no support to build userspace programs for the target architecture
(i.e. the same architecture as the kernel).
Sam Ravnborg worked on this in 2014 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/154),
but it was not merged. One problem at that time was, there was no good way
to know whether $(CC) can link standalone programs. In fact, pre-built
kernel.org toolchains [1] are often used for building the kernel, but they
do not provide libc.
Now, we can handle this cleanly because the compiler capability is
evaluated at the Kconfig time. If $(CC) cannot link standalone programs,
the relevant options are hidden by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'.
The implementation just mimics scripts/Makefile.host
The userspace programs are compiled with the same flags as the host
programs. In addition, it uses -m32 or -m64 if it is found in
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS).
This new syntax has two usecases.
- Sample programs
Several userspace programs under samples/ include UAPI headers
installed in usr/include. Most of them were previously built for
the host architecture just to use the 'hostprogs' syntax.
However, 'make headers' always works for the target architecture.
This caused the arch mismatch in cross-compiling. To fix this
distortion, sample code should be built for the target architecture.
- Bpfilter
net/bpfilter/Makefile compiles bpfilter_umh as the user mode helper,
and embeds it into the kernel. Currently, it overrides HOSTCC with
CC to use the 'hostprogs' syntax. This hack should go away.

Kbuild supports not only obj-y but also lib-y to list objects linked to
vmlinux.
The difference between them is that all the objects from obj-y are
forcibly linked to vmlinux, whereas the objects from lib-y are linked
as needed; if there is no user of a lib-y object, it is not linked.
lib-y is intended to list utility functions that may be called from all
over the place (and may be unused at all), but it is a problem for
EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Even if there is no call-site in the vmlinux, we need
to keep exported symbols for the use from loadable modules.
Commit 7f2084fa55e6 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably")
worked around it by linking a dummy object, lib-ksyms.o, which contains
references to all the symbols exported from lib.a in that directory.
It uses the linker script command, EXTERN. Unfortunately, the meaning of
EXTERN of ld.lld is different from that of ld.bfd. Therefore, this does
not work with LD=ld.lld (CBL issue #515).
Anyway, the build rule of lib-ksyms.o is somewhat tricky. So, I want to
get rid of it.
At first, I was thinking of accumulating lib-y objects into obj-y
(or even replacing lib-y with obj-y entirely), but the lib-y syntax
is used beyond the ordinary use in lib/ and arch/*/lib/.
Examples:
- drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds lib.a, which is linked
into vmlinux in the own way (arm64), or linked to the decompressor
(arm, x86).
- arch/alpha/lib/Makefile builds lib.a which is linked not only to
vmlinux, but also to bootloaders in arch/alpha/boot/Makefile.
- arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile builds lib.a for use from
arch/xtensa/boot/boot-redboot/Makefile.
One more thing, adding everything to obj-y would increase the vmlinux
size of allnoconfig (or tinyconfig).
For less impact, I tweaked the destination of lib.a at the top Makefile;
when CONFIG_MODULES=y, lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS, which is
forcibly linked to vmlinux, otherwise lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
as before.
The size impact for normal usecases is quite small since at lease one
symbol in every lib-y object is eventually called by someone. In case
you are intrested, here are the figures.
x86_64_defconfig:
text data bss dec hex filename
19566602 5422072 1589328 26578002 1958c52 vmlinux.before
19566932 5422104 1589328 26578364 1958dbc vmlinux.after
The case with the biggest impact is allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y.
ARCH=x86 allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y:
text data bss dec hex filename
1175162 254740 1220608 2650510 28718e vmlinux.before
1177974 254836 1220608 2653418 287cea vmlinux.after
Hopefully this is still not a big deal. The per-file trimming with the
static library is not so effective after all.
If fine-grained optimization is desired, some architectures support
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which trims dead code per-symbol
basis. When LTO is supported in mainline, even better optimization will
be possible.

Nobody was opposed to raising minimum GCC version to 4.8 [1]
So, we will drop GCC <= 4.7 support sooner or later.
We always use C++ compiler for building plugins for GCC >= 4.8.
This commit drops the plugin support for GCC <= 4.7 a bit earlier,
which allows us to dump lots of code.

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

The built-in.a in a sub-directory is created by descending into that
directory. It does not depend on the other sub-directories. Loosen
the dependency.

Both 'obj-y += foo/' and 'obj-m += foo/' request Kbuild to visit the
sub-directory foo/, but the difference is that only the former combines
foo/built-in.a into the built-in.a of the current directory because
everything in sub-directories visited by obj-m is supposed to be modular.
So, it makes sense to create built-in.a only if that sub-directory is
reachable by the chain of obj-y. Otherwise, built-in.a will not be
linked into vmlinux anyway. For the same reason, it is pointless to
compile obj-y objects in the directory visited by obj-m.

There are both positive and negative options about this feature.
At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a
negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it
is ugly and annoying.
The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
(Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
of the exported headers.)
I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile.
Remove the other header test functionality.

Commit 40df759e2b9e ("kbuild: Fix build with binutils <= 2.19")
introduced ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS to deal with old binutils.
According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the current minimal
supported version of binutils is 2.21 so you can assume the 'D' option
is always supported. Not only GNU ar but also llvm-ar supports it.
With the 'D' option hard-coded, there is no more user of ar-option
or KBUILD_ARFLAGS.

KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS started as a switch to add extra warning
options for GCC, but now it is a historical misnomer since we use it
also for Clang, DTC, and even kernel-doc.
Rename it to more sensible, shorter KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN.
For the backward compatibility, KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS is still
supported (but not advertised in the documentation).
I also fixed up 'make help', and updated the documentation.
