    kbuild: unify vdso_install rules · 56769ba4
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
    leading to various issues:
    
     1. Code duplication
    
        Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
        to the install destination.
    
        Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
        introducing more code duplication.
    
     2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts
    
        The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
        It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
        as explained in commit 19514fc6 ("arm, kbuild: make
        "make install" not depend on vmlinux").
    
     3. Broken code in some architectures
    
        Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
        without proper adaptation.
    
        'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.
    
        'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.
    
    To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
    rule.
    
    Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
    in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.
    
    For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:
    
      vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
      vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI)      += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
      vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
      vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION)   += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
    
    These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
    if exists, stripped away.
    
    vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
    separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
    file as a different base name.
    
    The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.
    
      vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO)      += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so
    
    This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
    architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
    this workaround will go away.
