One common cause of modpost version generation failures is a failure to prototype exported assembly functions - the tooling requires this for exported functions even if they are not and should not be called from C code in order to do the version mangling for symbols. Unfortunately the error message is currently rather abstruse, simply saying that "version generation failed" and even diving into the code doesn't directly show what's going on since there's several steps between the problem and it being observed. Provide an explicit hint as to the likely cause of a version generation failure to help anyone who runs into this in future more readily diagnose and fix the problem.

M= (or KBUILD_EXTMOD) generally expects a directory path without any trailing slashes, like M=a/b/c. If you add a trailing slash, like M=a/b/c/, you will get ugly build logs (two slashes in a series), but it still works fine as long as it is consistent between 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'. The following commands correctly build and install the modules. $ make M=a/b/c/ modules $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install Since commit ccae4cfa ("kbuild: refactor scripts/Makefile.modinst"), a problem happens if you add a trailing slash only for modules_install. $ make M=a/b/c modules $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install No module is installed in this case, Johannes Berg reported. [1] Trim any trailing slashes from $(KBUILD_EXTMOD). I used the 'dirname' command to remove all the trailing slashes in case someone adds more slashes like M=a/b/c/////. The Make's built-in function, $(dir ...) cannot take care of such a case.

Extend IS_MODULE() and IS_ENABLED comments to explain why one might use "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO)" instead of "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO". To wit, "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO" is true only for CONFIG_FOO=y, while "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO)" is true for both CONFIG_FOO=y and CONFIG_FOO=m. This is because "CONFIG_FOO=m" in .config does not result in "CONFIG_FOO" being defined. The actual definitions are in autoconf.h, where: CONFIG_FOO=y results in #define CONFIG_FOO 1 CONFIG_FOO=m results in #define CONFIG_FOO_MODULE 1 Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

This reverts commit b052ce4c ("kbuild: fix false positive -dirty tag caused by make-kpkg"). If I understand correctly, this problem occurred in very old versions of make-kpkg. When I tried a newer version, make-kpkg did not touch scripts/package/Makefile. Anyway, Debian uses 'make deb-pkg' instead of make-kpkg these days. Debian handbook [1] mentions it as "the good old days": "CULTURE The good old days of kernel-package Before the Linux build system gained the ability to build proper Debian packages, the recommended way to build such packages was to use make-kpkg from the kernel-package package."

There were efforts to make 'make -s' really silent when it is a warning-free build. The conventional way was to let a shell script check ${quiet}, and if it is 'silent_', suppress the stdout by itself. With the previous commit, the 'cmd' takes care of it now. The 'cmd' is also invoked from if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule. You can omit ${quiet} checks in shell scripts when they are invoked from the 'cmd' macro.

When building with 'make -s', no output to stdout should be printed. As Arnd Bergmann reported [1], mkimage shows the detailed information of the generated images. I think this should be suppressed by the 'cmd' macro instead of by individual scripts. Insert 'exec >/dev/null;' in order to redirect stdout to /dev/null for silent builds. [Note about this implementation] 'exec >/dev/null;' may look somewhat tricky, but this has a reason. Appending '>/dev/null' at the end of command line is a common way for redirection, so I first tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)) >/dev/null ... but it would not work if $(cmd_$(1)) itself contains a redirection. For example, cmd_wrap in scripts/Makefile.asm-generic redirects the output from the 'echo' command into the target file. It would be expanded into: echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@ >/dev/null Then, the target file gets empty because the string will go to /dev/null instead of $@. Next, I tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) { $(cmd_$(1)); } >/dev/null The form above would be expanded into: { echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@; } >/dev/null This works as expected. However, it would be a syntax error if $(cmd_$(1)) is empty. When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled, $(call cmd,gen_ksymdeps) in scripts/Makefile.build would be expanded into: set -e; { ; } >/dev/null ..., which causes an syntax error. I also tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) ( $(cmd_$(1)) ) >/dev/null ... but this causes a syntax error for the same reason. So, finally I adopted: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) exec >/dev/null; $(cmd_$(1)) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210514135752.2910387-1-arnd@kernel.org/Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

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.

Commit 09c60546 ("./Makefile: add debug option to enable function aligned on 32 bytes") was introduced to help debugging strange kernel performance changes caused by code alignment change. Recently we found 2 similar cases [1][2] caused by code-alignment changes, which can only be identified by forcing 64 bytes aligned for all functions. Originally, 32 bytes was used mainly for not wasting too much text space, but this option is only for debug anyway where text space is not a big concern. So extend the alignment to 64 bytes to cover more similar cases.

In commit d6995da3 ("hugetlb: use page.private for hugetlb specific page flags") the use of PagePrivate to indicate a reservation count should be restored at free time was changed to the hugetlb specific flag HPageRestoreReserve. Changes to a userfaultfd error path as well as a VM_BUG_ON() in remove_inode_hugepages() were overlooked. Users could see incorrect hugetlb reserve counts if they experience an error with a UFFDIO_COPY operation. Specifically, this would be the result of an unlikely copy_huge_page_from_user error. There is not an increased chance of hitting the VM_BUG_ON.

GENMASK() has an input check which uses __builtin_choose_expr() to enable a compile time sanity check of its inputs if they are known at compile time. However, it turns out that __builtin_constant_p() does not always return a compile time constant [0]. It was thought this problem was fixed with gcc 4.9 [1], but apparently this is not the case [2]. Switch to use __is_constexpr() instead which always returns a compile time constant, regardless of its inputs.

Commit 9bf3bc94 ("watchdog: cleanup handling of false positives") tried to handle a virtual host stopped by the host a more straightforward and cleaner way. But it introduced a risk of false softlockup reports. The virtual host might be stopped at any time, for example between kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() and is_softlockup(). As a result, is_softlockup() might read the updated jiffies and detects a softlockup. A solution might be to put back kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() after is_softlockup() and detect it. But it would put back the cycle that complicates the logic. In fact, the handling of all the timestamps is not reliable. The code does not guarantee when and how many times the timestamps are read. For example, "period_ts" might be touched anytime also from NMI and re-read in is_softlockup(). It works just by chance. Fix all the problems by making the code even more explicit. 1. Make sure that "now" and "period_ts" timestamps are read only once. They might be changed at anytime by NMI or when the virtual guest is stopped by the host. Note that "now" timestamp does this implicitly because "jiffies" is marked volatile. 2. "now" time must be read first. The state of "period_ts" will decide whether it will be used or the period will get restarted. 3. kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() must be called before reading "period_ts". It touches the variable when the guest was stopped. As a result, "now" timestamp is used only when the watchdog was not touched and the guest not stopped in the meantime. "period_ts" is restarted in all other situations.

do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with a stack local address. The sender (do_mq_timedsend) uses this address to later call pipelined_send. This leads to a very hard to trigger race where a do_mq_timedreceive call might return and leave do_mq_timedsend to rely on an invalid address, causing the following crash: RIP: 0010:wake_q_add_safe+0x13/0x60 Call Trace: __x64_sys_mq_timedsend+0x2a9/0x490 do_syscall_64+0x80/0x680 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f5928e40343 The race occurs as: 1. do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with the address of `struct ext_wait_queue` on function stack (aliased as `ewq_addr` here) - it holds a valid `struct ext_wait_queue *` as long as the stack has not been overwritten. 2. `ewq_addr` gets added to info->e_wait_q[RECV].list in wq_add, and do_mq_timedsend receives it via wq_get_first_waiter(info, RECV) to call __pipelined_op. 3. Sender calls __pipelined_op::smp_store_release(&this->state, STATE_READY). Here is where the race window begins. (`this` is `ewq_addr`.) 4. If the receiver wakes up now in do_mq_timedreceive::wq_sleep, it will see `state == STATE_READY` and break. 5. do_mq_timedreceive returns, and `ewq_addr` is no longer guaranteed to be a `struct ext_wait_queue *` since it was on do_mq_timedreceive's stack. (Although the address may not get overwritten until another function happens to touch it, which means it can persist around for an indefinite time.) 6. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() still believes `ewq_addr` is a `struct ext_wait_queue *`, and uses it to find a task_struct to pass to the wake_q_add_safe call. In the lucky case where nothing has overwritten `ewq_addr` yet, `ewq_addr->task` is the right task_struct. In the unlucky case, __pipelined_op::wake_q_add_safe gets handed a bogus address as the receiver's task_struct causing the crash. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() should not dereference `this` after setting STATE_READY, as the receiver counterpart is now free to return. Change __pipelined_op to call wake_q_add_safe on the receiver's task_struct returned by get_task_struct, instead of dereferencing `this` which sits on the receiver's stack. As Manfred pointed out, the race potentially also exists in ipc/msg.c::expunge_all and ipc/sem.c::wake_up_sem_queue_prepare. Fix those in the same way.

While reviewing [1] I came across commit d3378e86 ("mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken in two ways. First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time after the check. Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which is not released. It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address the underlying problem [2] Therefore revert the original patch.

clang sometimes decides not to inline shuffle_zone(), but it calls a __meminit function. Without the extra __meminit annotation we get this warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2a86d4): Section mismatch in reference from the function shuffle_zone() to the function .meminit.text:__shuffle_zone() The function shuffle_zone() references the function __meminit __shuffle_zone(). This is often because shuffle_zone lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of __shuffle_zone is wrong. shuffle_free_memory() did not show the same problem in my tests, but it could happen in theory as well, so mark both as __meminit.
