      kconfig: gconf: use MENU_CHANGED instead of SYMBOL_CHANGED · 4cc7e6ce
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      SYMBOL_CHANGED and MENU_CHANGED are used to update GUI frontends
      when the symbol value is changed. These are used inconsistently:
      SYMBOL_CHANGED in gconf.c and MENU_CHANGE in qconf.cc.
      
      MENU_CHANGED works more properly when a symbol has multiple prompts
      (although such code is not ideal).
      
      [test code]
      
          config FOO
                  bool "foo prompt 1"
      
          config FOO
                  bool "foo prompt 2"
      
      In gconfig, if one of the two checkboxes is clicked, only the first
      one is toggled. In xconfig, the two checkboxes work in sync.
      
      Replace SYMBOL_CHANGED in gconf.c with MENU_CHANGED to align with
      the xconfig behavior.

      kbuild: add 'private' to target-specific variables · d98dba88
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Currently, Kbuild produces inconsistent results in some cases.
      
      You can do an interesting experiment using the --shuffle option, which
      is supported by GNU Make 4.4 or later.
      
      Set CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y and CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m (or vice versa), and repeat
      incremental builds w/wo --shuffle=reverse.
      
        $ make
          [ snip ]
          CC      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s
      
        $ make --shuffle=reverse
          [ snip ]
          CC [M]  arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s
      
        $ make
          [ snip ]
          CC      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s
      
      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is rebuilt every time w/wo the [M] marker.
      
      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as built-in when it is built as
      a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.o, which is built-in.
      
      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as modular when it is built as
      a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.o, which is a module.
      
      Another odd example is single target builds.
      
      When CONFIG_LKDTM=m, drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o can be built as
      built-in or modular, depending on how it is built.
      
        $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.o
          [ snip ]
          CC [M]  drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
      
        $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
          [ snip ]
          CC      drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
      
      drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o is built as modular when it is built as a
      prerequisite of another, but built as built-in when it is a final
      target.
      
      The same thing happens to drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s when
      CONFIG_TI_EMIF_SRAM=m.
      
        $ make drivers/memory/ti-emif-sram.o
          [ snip ]
          CC [M]  drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
      
        $ make drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
          [ snip ]
          CC      drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
      
      This is because the part-of-module=y flag defined for the modules is
      inherited by its prerequisites.
      
      Target-specific variables are likely intended only for local use.
      This commit adds 'private' to them.

      kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory · b1992c37
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
      checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
      difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
      in scripts/Makefile.build:
      
          src := $(obj)
      
      When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
      not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
      resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
      source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
      header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
      passed to the compiler.
      
      This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
      because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
      
      To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
      $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
      
      Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
      meanings:
      
        $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
        $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
        $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
        $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
      
      Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
      with $(src).

      Before changing the semantics of $(src) in the next commit, this commit
      replaces $(obj)/ with $(src)/ in pattern rules where the prerequisite
      might be a generated file.
      
      C, assembly, Rust, and DTS files are sometimes generated by tools, so
      they could be either generated files or real sources. The $(obj)/ prefix
      works for both cases with the help of VPATH.
      
      As mentioned above, $(obj) and $(src) are the same at this point, hence
      this commit has no functional change.
      
      I did not modify scripts/Makefile.userprogs because there is no use
      case where userspace C files are generated.

      Therefore, (sym->flags & SYMBOL_NO_WRITE) is equivalent to

      kbuild: Remove support for Clang's ThinLTO caching · aba09154
      Nathan Chancellor authored
      There is an issue in clang's ThinLTO caching (enabled for the kernel via
      '--thinlto-cache-dir') with .incbin, which the kernel occasionally uses
      to include data within the kernel, such as the .config file for
      /proc/config.gz. For example, when changing the .config and rebuilding
      vmlinux, the copy of .config in vmlinux does not match the copy of
      .config in the build folder:
      
        $ echo 'CONFIG_LTO_NONE=n
        CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y
        CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y
        CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y' >kernel/configs/repro.config
      
        $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean defconfig repro.config vmlinux
        ...
      
        $ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config
        CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
      
        $ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL
        CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
      
        $ scripts/config -d HEADERS_INSTALL
      
        $ make -kj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 vmlinux
        ...
          UPD     kernel/config_data
          GZIP    kernel/config_data.gz
          CC      kernel/configs.o
        ...
          LD      vmlinux
        ...
      
        $ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config
        # CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL is not set
      
        $ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL
        CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
      
      Without '--thinlto-cache-dir' or when using full LTO, this issue does
      not occur.
      
      Benchmarking incremental builds on a few different machines with and

      While it is unfortunate to take this performance improvement off the
      table, correctness is more important. If/when this is fixed in LLVM, it
      can potentially be brought back in a conditional manner. Alternatively,
      a developer can just disable LTO if doing incremental compiles quickly
      is important, as a full compile cycle can still take over a minute even
      with the cache and it is unlikely that LTO will result in functional
      differences for a kernel change.

      kconfig: remove 'optional' property support · 6a121588
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      The 'choice' statement is primarily used to exclusively select one
      option, but the 'optional' property allows all entries to be disabled.
      
      In the following example, both A and B can be disabled simultaneously:
      
          choice
                  prompt "choose A, B, or nothing"
                  optional
      
          config A
                  bool "A"
      
          config B
                  bool "B"
      
          endchoice
      
      You can achieve the equivalent outcome by other means.
      
      A common solution is to add another option to guard the choice block.
      In the following example, you can set ENABLE_A_B_CHOICE=n to disable
      the entire choice block:
      
          choice
                  prompt "choose A or B"
                  depends on ENABLE_A_B_CHOICE
      
          config A
                  bool "A"
      
          config B
                  bool "B"
      
          endchoice
      
      Another approach is to insert one more entry:
      
          choice
                  prompt "choose A, B, or disable both"
      
          config A
                  bool "A"
      
          config B
                  bool "B"
      
          config DISABLE_A_AND_B
                  bool "choose this to disable both A and B"
      
          endchoice
      
      Some real examples are DEBUG_INFO_NONE, INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE,
      LTO_NONE, etc.
      
      The 'optional' property is even more unnecessary for a tristate choice.
      
      Without the 'optional' property, you can disable A and B; you can set
      'm' in the choice prompt, and disable A and B individually:
      
          choice
                  prompt "choose one built-in or make them modular"
      
          config A
                  tristate "A"
      
          config B
                  tristate "B"
      
          endchoice
      
      In conclusion, the 'optional' property was unneeded.

      sh: Convert the last use of 'optional' property in Kconfig · d9a1dab6
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      The 'choice' statement is primarily used to exclusively select one
      option, but the 'optional' property allows all entries to be disabled.
      
      This feature is rarely used. In fact, it is only used in arch/sh/Kconfig
      because the equivalent outcome can be achieved by inserting one more
      entry.
      
      The 'optional' property support will be removed from Kconfig.
      
      This commit replaces the 'optional' property with a dummy option,
      CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER, as seen in some other architectures.
      
      Note:
       The 'default CMDLINE_OVERWRITE' statement does not work as intended
       in combination with 'optional'. If neither CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERWRITE
       nor CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is specified in a defconfig file, both of
       them are disabled. This is a bug. To maintain the current behavior,
       I added CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER=y to those defconfig files.

      kconfig: add menu_next() function and menu_for_each(_sub)_entry macros · 7284b4fb
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Several functions require traversing menu entries sequentially. This
      commit introduces some helpers to simplify such operations.
      
      The menu_next() function facilitates depth-first traversal:
      
       1. Descend to the child level if the current menu has one
       2. Move to the next sibling at the same level if available
       3. Ascend to the parent level if there is no more child or sibling
      
      The menu_for_each_sub_entry() macro iterates over all submenu entries
      using depth-first traverse.
      
      The menu_for_each_entry() macro is the same, but over all menu entries.

      vmlinux: Avoid weak reference to notes section · 377d9095
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      Weak references are references that are permitted to remain unsatisfied
      in the final link. This means they cannot be implemented using place
      relative relocations, resulting in GOT entries when using position
      independent code generation.
      
      The notes section should always exist, so the weak annotations can be
      omitted.

      kallsyms: Avoid weak references for kallsyms symbols · 951bcae6
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      kallsyms is a directory of all the symbols in the vmlinux binary, and so
      creating it is somewhat of a chicken-and-egg problem, as its non-zero
      size affects the layout of the binary, and therefore the values of the
      symbols.
      
      For this reason, the kernel is linked more than once, and the first pass
      does not include any kallsyms data at all. For the linker to accept
      this, the symbol declarations describing the kallsyms metadata are
      emitted as having weak linkage, so they can remain unsatisfied. During
      the subsequent passes, the weak references are satisfied by the kallsyms
      metadata that was constructed based on information gathered from the
      preceding passes.
      
      Weak references lead to somewhat worse codegen, because taking their
      address may need to produce NULL (if the reference was unsatisfied), and
      this is not usually supported by RIP or PC relative symbol references.
      
      Given that these references are ultimately always satisfied in the final
      link, let's drop the weak annotation, and instead, provide fallback
      definitions in the linker script that are only emitted if an unsatisfied
      reference exists.
      
      While at it, drop the FRV specific annotation that these symbols reside
      in .rodata - FRV is long gone.

      kbuild: buildtar: add comments about inconsistent package generation · c3f7bed8
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      scripts/package/buildtar checks some kernel packages, and copies the
      first image found. This may potentially produce an inconsistent (and
      possibly wrong) package.
      
      For instance, the for-loop for arm64 checks Image.{bz2,gz,lz4,lzma,lzo},
      and vmlinuz.efi, then copies the first image found, which might be a
      stale image created in a previous build.
      
      When CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT is enabled in the pristine source tree,
      'make ARCH=arm64 tar-pkg' will build and copy vmlinuz.efi. This is the
      expected behavior.
      
      If you build the kernel with CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT disabled, Image.gz will
      be created, which will remain in the tree until you run 'make clean'.
      Even if CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT is turned on later, 'make ARCH=arm64 tar-pkg'
      will copy stale Image.gz instead of the latest vmlinuz.efi, as Image.gz
      takes precedence over vmlinuz.efi.
      
      In summary, the code "[ -f ... ] && cp" does not consistently produce
      the desired outcome.
      
      Other packaging targets are deterministic; deb-pkg and rpm-pkg copies
      ${KBUILD_IMAGE}, which is determined by CONFIG options.
      
      I removed [ -f ... ] checks from x86, alpha, parisc, and the default
      because they have a single kernel image to copy. If it is missing, it
      should be an error.
      
      I did not modify the code for mips, arm64, riscv. Instead, I left some
      comments. Eventually, someone may fix the code, or at the very least,
      it may discourage the copy-pasting of incorrect code to another
      architecture.

      dt-bindings: kbuild: Add separate target/dependency for processed-schema.json · 604a57ba
      Rob Herring authored
      Running dtbs_check and dt_compatible_check targets really only depend
      on processed-schema.json, but the dependency is 'dt_binding_check'. That
      was sort worked around with the CHECK_DT_BINDING variable in order to
      skip some of the work that 'dt_binding_check' does. It still runs the
      full checks of the schemas which is not necessary and adds 10s of
      seconds to the build time. That's significant when checking only a few
      DTBs and with recent changes that have improved the validation time by
      6-7x.
      
      Add a new target, dt_binding_schema, which just builds
      processed-schema.json and can be used as the dependency for other
      targets. The scripts_dtc dependency isn't needed either as the examples
      aren't built for it.

       "This is a bit on the large side, mostly due to two changes:
      
         - Changes to disable some broken PMU virtualization (see below for
           details under "x86 PMU")
      
         - Clean up SVM's enter/exit assembly code so that it can be compiled
           without OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD. This fixes a warning "Unpatched
           return thunk in use. This should not happen!" when running KVM
           selftests.
      
        Everything else is small bugfixes and selftest changes:
      
         - Fix a mostly benign bug in the gfn_to_pfn_cache infrastructure
           where KVM would allow userspace to refresh the cache with a bogus
           GPA. The bug has existed for quite some time, but was exposed by a
           new sanity check added in 6.9 (to ensure a cache is either
           GPA-based or HVA-based).
      
         - Drop an unused param from gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start() that
           got left behind during a 6.9 cleanup.
      
         - Fix a math goof in x86's hugepage logic for
           KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES that results in an array overflow
           (detected by KASAN).
      
         - Fix a bug where KVM incorrectly clears root_role.direct when
           userspace sets guest CPUID.
      
         - Fix a dirty logging bug in the where KVM fails to write-protect
           SPTEs used by a nested guest, if KVM is using Page-Modification
           Logging and the nested hypervisor is NOT using EPT.
      
        x86 PMU:
      
         - Drop support for virtualizing adaptive PEBS, as KVM's
           implementation is architecturally broken without an obvious/easy
           path forward, and because exposing adaptive PEBS can leak host LBRs
           to the guest, i.e. can leak host kernel addresses to the guest.
      
         - Set the enable bits for general purpose counters in
           PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL at RESET time, as done by both Intel and AMD
           processors.
      
         - Disable LBR virtualization on CPUs that don't support LBR
           callstacks, as KVM unconditionally uses
           PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL_STACK when creating the perf event, and
           would fail on such CPUs.
      
        Tests:
      
         - Fix a flaw in the max_guest_memory selftest that results in it
           exhausting the supply of ucall structures when run with more than
           256 vCPUs.
