      kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination · b67067f1
      Nicholas Piggin authored
      Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to
      select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
      with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
      unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
      verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.
      
      On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
      it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
      these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.

      kbuild: allow architectures to use thin archives instead of ld -r · a5967db9
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      ld -r is an incremental link used to create built-in.o files in build
      subdirectories. It produces relocatable object files containing all
      its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated
      in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final
      link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with
      unresolvable relocations in the final link.
      
      Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking.
      This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information
      available to it when it links the kernel.
      
      This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which
      causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o
      files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached,
      which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a
      built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the
      symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link.
      
      The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now
      has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise
      just completely avoid including those without external references
      (consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions
      as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as
      built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external
      references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel
      (due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and
      costly because the .o files have to be searched for references.
      Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead.
      
      Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le
      pseries VM with a modest .config:
      
                                        inclink       thinarc
      sizes
      vmlinux                        15 618 680    15 625 028
      sum of all built-in.o          56 091 808     1 054 334
      sum excluding root built-in.o                   151 430
      
      find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux
      real                              22.772s       21.143s
      user                              13.280s       13.430s
      sys                                4.310s        2.750s
      
      - Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how
        ineffective the object file culling is.
      - Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity.
        On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win.
      - Build size saving is significant.
      
      Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks,
      $ ar t built-in.o          # list all files you linked with
      $ size built-in.o          # and their sizes
      $ objdump -d built-in.o    # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames
      
      Implementation by sfr, minor tweaks by npiggin.

      fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search · dee81e98
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      Do you think kernel build is 100% dominated by gcc? You are wrong!
      One small utility called "fixdep" consistently manages to sneak into
      profile's first page (unless you have small monitor of course).
      
      The choke point is this clever code:
      
      	for (; m < end; m++) {
      		if (*m == INT_CONF) { p = (char *) m  ; goto conf; }
      		if (*m == INT_ONFI) { p = (char *) m-1; goto conf; }
      		if (*m == INT_NFIG) { p = (char *) m-2; goto conf; }
      		if (*m == INT_FIG_) { p = (char *) m-3; goto conf; }
      
      4 branches per 4 characters is not fast.
      
      Use strstr(3), so that SSE2 etc can be used.
      
      With this patch, fixdep is so deep at the bottom, it is hard to find it.

      ia64: move exports to definitions · e007c533
      Al Viro authored
      Here we have another kind of deviation from the default case -
      a difference between exporting functions and non-functions.
      EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL... is really different from EXPORT_SYMBOL...
      on ia64, and we need to use the right one when moving exports
      from *.c where C compiler has the required information to
      *.S, where we need to supply it manually.
      
      parisc64 will be another one like that.

      EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm · 22823ab4
      Al Viro authored
      Add asm-usable variants of EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  This
      commit just adds the default implementation; most of the architectures
      can simply add export.h to asm/Kbuild and start using <asm/export.h>
      from assembler.  The rest needs to have their <asm/export.h> define
      everal macros and then explicitly include <asm-generic/export.h>
      
      One area where the things might diverge from default is the alignment;
      normally it's 8 bytes on 64bit targets and 4 on 32bit ones, both for
      unsigned long and for struct kernel_symbol.  Unfortunately, amd64 and
      m68k are unusual - m68k aligns to 2 bytes (for both) and amd64 aligns
      struct kernel_symbol to 16 bytes.  For those we'll need asm/export.h to
      override the constants used by generic version - KSYM_ALIGN and KCRC_ALIGN
      for kernel_symbol and unsigned long resp.  And no, __alignof__ would not
      do the trick - on amd64 __alignof__ of struct kernel_symbol is 8, not 16.
      
      More serious source of unpleasantness is treatment of function
      descriptors on architectures that have those.  Things like ppc64,
      parisc, ia64, etc.  need more than the address of the first insn to
      call an arbitrary function.  As the result, their representation of
      pointers to functions is not the typical "address of the entry point" -
      it's an address of a small static structure containing all the required
      information (including the entry point, of course).  Sadly, the asm-side
      conventions differ in what the function name refers to - entry point or
      the function descriptor.  On ppc64 we do the latter;
      	bar: .quad foo
      is what void (*bar)(void) = foo; turns into and the rare places where
      we need to explicitly work with the label of entry point are dealt with
      as DOTSYM(foo).  For our purposes it's ideal - generic macros are usable.
      However, parisc would have foo and P%foo used for label of entry point
      and address of the function descriptor and
      	bar: .long P%foo
      woudl be used instead.	ia64 goes similar to parisc in that respect,
      except that there it's @fptr(foo) rather than P%foo.  Such architectures
      need to define KSYM_FUNC that would turn a function name into whatever
      is needed to refer to function descriptor.
      
      What's more, on such architectures we need to know whether we are exporting
      a function or an object - in assembler we have to tell that explicitly, to
      decide whether we want EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo) produce e.g.
      	__ksymtab_foo: .quad foo
      or
      	__ksymtab_foo: .quad @fptr(foo)
      
      For that reason we introduce EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), to be used for
      exports of data objects.  On normal architectures it's the same thing
      as EXPORT_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), but on parisc-like ones they differ and the
      right one needs to be used.  Most of the exports are functions, so we
      keep EXPORT_SYMBOL for those...

      [kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably · 7f2084fa
      Al Viro authored
      Collect the symbols exported by anything that goes into lib.a and
      add an empty object (lib-exports.o) with explicit undefs for each
      of those to obj-y.
      
      That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in
      lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-*
      only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in
      built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*.
      As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile
      and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile.  Moreover, a change in
      generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports
      on some configs.  With this change we don't have to worry about
      that anymore.
      
      One side effect is that built-in.o now pulls everything with exports
      from the corresponding lib.a (if such exists).  That's exactly what
      we want for linking vmlinux and fortunately it's almost the only thing
      built-in.o is used in.  arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader is the only
      exception and it's easy to get rid of now - just turn everything in
      arch/ia64/lib into lib-* and don't bother with arch/ia64/lib/built-in.o
      anymore.

      Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
       "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and
        contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS.
      
        Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on
        disk precisely.  It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per
        allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents.
        Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate
        or free extents.  i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we
        already maintain and never overlaps with them.
      
        This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several
        upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online
        metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss
        reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of
        damaged and corrupted filesystems.  There's a lot of new stuff coming
        along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap
        infrastructure.
      
        As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format
        features and internal infrastructure.  It warns at mount time as an
        experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
        on-disk features until they stabilise).  We have not released
        userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
        download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
        access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
        Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
        with this code in it is released.
      
        The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
        related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
        hours ago.  The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
        the upcoming reflink patchset.  This new ENOSPC infrastructure
        requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
        check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
        we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.
      
        This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
        the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"
