* scripts/find-unused-docs: Fix massive false positivesGeert Uytterhoeven2020-02-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 1630146db2111412e7524d05d812ff8f2c75977e upstream. scripts/find-unused-docs.sh invokes scripts/kernel-doc to find out if a source file contains kerneldoc or not. However, as it passes the no longer supported "-text" option to scripts/kernel-doc, the latter prints out its help text, causing all files to be considered containing kerneldoc. Get rid of these false positives by removing the no longer supported "-text" option from the scripts/kernel-doc invocation.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that randconfig builds with gcc no longer produce a lot of ccache hits, unlike with clang, and traced this back to plugins now being enabled unconditionally if they are supported. I am now working around this by adding export CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=/usr/bin/size -A %compiler% to my top-level Makefile. This changes the heuristic that ccache uses to determine whether the plugins are the same after a 'make clean'. However, it also seems that being able to just turn off the plugins is generally useful, at least for build testing it adds noticeable overhead but does not find a lot of bugs additional bugs, and may be easier for ccache users than my workaround.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 5e5c4fa78745 ("scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before sorting it"), kallsyms_relative_base can be larger than _text, which causes overflow when building the 32-bit kernel. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/7/156 This is because _text is, unless --all-symbols is specified, now trimmed from the symbol table before record_relative_base() is called. Handle the offset signedness also for kallsyms_relative_base. Introduce a new helper, output_address(), to reduce the code duplication.

Here is another one. Since commit f07726048d59 ("Fix handling of backlash character in LINUX_COMPILE_BY name"), we must escape a backslash contained in LINUX_COMPILE_BY. This is not working on such distros as Ubuntu. As the POSIX spec [1] says, if any of the operands contain a backslash ( '\' ) character, the results are implementation-defined. The actual shell of /bin/sh could be bash, dash, etc. depending on distros, and the behavior of builtin echo command is different among them. The bash builtin echo, unless -e is given, copies the arguments to stdout without expanding escape sequences (BSD-like behavior). The dash builtin echo, in contrast, adopts System V behavior, which does expand escape sequences without any option given. Even non-builtin /bin/echo behaves differently depending on the system. Due to these variations, echo is considered as a non-portable command. Using printf is the common solution to avoid the portability issue.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UTS_VERSION is set to struct uts_namespace, hence a too long string should be truncated so it fits in 64 characters. On the other hand, LINUX_COMPILE_BY/HOST are not set to uts_namespace. They are just used in the banners, which do not have specific length limitation. I dug into the git history, but I could not find the reason why these two strings must fit in 64 characters. Remove them. Now that UTS_VERSION is the only user of UTS_TRUNCATE, I squashed it.

Let's explicitly force section offset to zero. Before: $ objcopy --set-section-flags .BTF=alloc -O binary \ --only-section=.BTF vmlinux .btf.vmlinux.bin $ xxd .btf.vmlinux.bin | head -n1 00000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ After: $ objcopy --change-section-address .BTF=0 \ --set-section-flags .BTF=alloc -O binary \ --only-section=.BTF vmlinux .btf.vmlinux.bin $ xxd .btf.vmlinux.bin | head -n1 00000000: 9feb 0100 1800 0000 0000 0000 80e1 1c00 ................ ^BTF magic As part of this change, I'm also dropping '2>/dev/null' from objcopy invocation to be able to catch possible other issues (objcopy doesn't produce any warnings for me anymore, it did before with --dump-section).

So, the 'exported twice' warning should be reported irrespective of where the symbol in question came from. The exceptional case is external module; in some cases, we build an external module to provide a different version/variant of the corresponding in-kernel module, overriding the same set of exported symbols. You can see this use-case in upstream; tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko replaces drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko in order to link it against mocked version of core kernel symbols. So, let's relax the 'exported twice' warning when building external modules. The multiple export from external modules is warned only when the previous one is from vmlinux or itself.

Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does not need to hard-code the section name. Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is a more portable way to get the namespace string. Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete the info->ksymtab_strings .

The rebuild of allmodconfig may take a few minutes even when none of the objects needs to be rebuilt. The time-consuming part in the incremental build is the evaluation of if_changed* macros since they are used in the recipes to compile C and assembly source files into objects. I notice the following code in if_changed* is expensive: $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) In the incremental build, every object has its .*.cmd file, which contains the auto-generated list of included headers. So, $^ are expanded into the long list of the source file + included headers, and $(wildcard $^) checks whether they exist. It may not be clear why this check exists there. Here is the record of my research. [1] The first code addition into Kbuild This code dates back to 2002. It is the pre-git era. So, I copy-pasted it from the historical git tree. | commit 4a6db0791528c220655b063cf13fefc8470dbfee (HEAD) | Author: Kai Germaschewski <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> | Date: Mon Jun 17 00:22:37 2002 -0500 | | kbuild: Handle removed headers | | New and old way to handle dependencies would choke when a file | #include'd by other files was removed, since the dependency on it was | still recorded, but since it was gone, make has no idea what to do about | it (and would complain with "No rule to make <file> ...") | | We now add targets for all the previously included files, so make will | just ignore them if they disappear. | | diff --git a/Rules.make b/Rules.make | index 6ef827d3df39..7db5301ea7db 100644 | --- a/Rules.make | +++ b/Rules.make | @@ -446,7 +446,7 @@ if_changed = $(if $(strip $? \ | # execute the command and also postprocess generated .d dependencies | # file | | -if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $? \ | +if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $? $(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^)\ | $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)),$(cmd_$@))\ | $(filter-out $(cmd_$@),$(cmd_$(1)))),\ | @set -e; \ | diff --git a/scripts/fixdep.c b/scripts/fixdep.c | index b5d7bee8efc7..db45bd1888c0 100644 | --- a/scripts/fixdep.c | +++ b/scripts/fixdep.c | @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ void parse_dep_file(void *map, size_t len) | exit(1); | } | memcpy(s, m, p-m); s[p-m] = 0; | - printf("%s: \\\n", target); | + printf("deps_%s := \\\n", target); | m = p+1; | | clear_config(); | @@ -314,7 +314,8 @@ void parse_dep_file(void *map, size_t len) | } | m = p + 1; | } | - printf("\n"); | + printf("\n%s: $(deps_%s)\n\n", target, target); | + printf("$(deps_%s):\n", target); | } | | void print_deps(void) The "No rule to make <file> ..." error can be solved by passing -MP to the compiler, but I think the detection of header removal is a good feature. When a header is removed, all source files that previously included it should be re-compiled. This makes sure we has correctly got rid of #include directives of it. This is also related with the behavior of $?. The GNU Make manual says: $? The names of all the prerequisites that are newer than the target, with spaces between them. This does not explain whether a non-existent prerequisite is considered to be newer than the target. At this point of time, GNU Make 3.7x was used, where the $? did not include non-existent prerequisites. Therefore, $(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect the header removal, and to rebuild the related objects if it is the case. [2] Change of $? behavior Later, the behavior of $? was changed (fixed) to include prerequisites that did not exist. First, GNU Make commit 64e16d6c00a5 ("Various changes getting ready for the release of 3.81.") changed it, but in the release test of 3.81, it turned out to break the kernel build. See these: - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16002 - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16051 Then, GNU Make commit 6d8d9b74d9c5 ("Numerous updates to tests for issues found on Cygwin and Windows.") reverted it for the 3.81 release to give Linux kernel time to adjust to the new behavior. After the 3.81 release, GNU Make commit 7595f38f62af ("Fixed a number of documentation bugs, plus some build/install issues:") re-added it. [3] Adjustment to the new $? behavior on Kbuild side Meanwhile, the kernel build was changed by commit 4f1933620f57 ("kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior") to adjust to the new $? behavior. [4] GNU Make 3.82 released in 2010 GNU Make 3.82 was the first release that integrated the correct $? behavior. At this point, Kbuild dealt with GNU Make versions with different $? behaviors. 3.81 or older: $? does not contain any non-existent prerequisite. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect removed include headers. 3.82 or newer: $? contains non-existent prerequisites. When a header is removed, it appears in $?. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) became a redundant check. With the correct $? behavior, we could have dropped the expensive check for 3.82 or later, but we did not. (Maybe nobody noticed this optimization.) [5] The .SECONDARY special target trips up $? Some time later, I noticed $? did not work as expected under some circumstances. As above, $? should contain non-existent prerequisites, but the ones specified as SECONDARY do not appear in $?. I asked this in GNU Make ML, and it seems a bug: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2019-01/msg00001.html Since commit 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"), all files, including headers listed in .*.cmd files, are treated as secondary. So, we are back into the incorrect $? behavior. If we Kbuild want to react to the header removal, we need to keep $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) but this makes the rebuild so slow. [Summary] - I believe noticing the header removal and recompiling related objects is a nice feature for the build system. - If $? worked correctly, $(filter-out $(PHONY),$?) would be enough to detect the header removal. - Currently, $? does not work correctly when used with .SECONDARY, and Kbuild is hit by this bug. - I filed a bug report for this, but not fixed yet as of writing. - Currently, the header removal is detected by the following expensive code: $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) - I do not want to revert commit 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"). Specifying .SECONDARY globally is clean, and it matches to the Kbuild policy. This commit proactively removes the expensive check since it makes the incremental build faster. A downside is Kbuild will no longer be able to notice the header removal. You can confirm it by the full-build followed by a header removal, and then re-build. $ make defconfig all [ full build ] $ rm include/linux/device.h $ make CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh DESCEND objtool CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#11) Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 12 modules Previously, Kbuild noticed a missing header and emits a build error. Now, Kbuild is fine with it. This is an unusual corner-case, not a big deal. Once the $? bug is fixed in GNU Make, everything will work fine. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Having said that, some people already tried nsdeps for external modules. So, it would be nice to support it.
