      kbuild: make *.mod not depend on *.o · fc93a4cd
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      The dependency

    $(obj)/%.mod: $(obj)/%$(mod-prelink-ext).o

... exists because *.mod files previously contained undefined symbols,
which are computed from *.o files when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.

Now that the undefined symbols are put into separate *.usyms files,
there is no reason to make *.mod depend on *.o files.

      kbuild: get rid of duplication in *.mod files · 22f26f21
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      It is allowed to add the same objects multiple times to obj-y / obj-m:

  obj-y += foo.o foo.o foo.o
  obj-m += bar.o bar.o bar.o

It is also allowed to add the same objects multiple times to a composite
module:

  obj-m += foo.o
  foo-y := foo1.o foo2.o foo2.o foo1.o

This flexibility is useful because the same object might be selected by
different CONFIG options, like this:

  obj-m               += foo.o
  foo-y               := foo1.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_X) += foo2.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_Y) += foo2.o

The duplicated objects are omitted at link time. It works naturally in
Makefiles because GNU Make removes duplication in $^ without changing
the order.

It is working well, almost...

A small flaw I notice is, *.mod contains duplication in such a case.

This is probably not a big deal. As far as I know, the only small
problem is scripts/mod/sumversion.c parses the same file multiple
times.

I am fixing this because I plan to reuse *.mod for other purposes,
where the duplication can be problematic.

The code change is quite simple. We already use awk to drop duplicated
lines in modules.order (see cmd_modules_order in the same file).
I copied the code, but changed RS to use spaces as record separators.

I also changed the file format to list one object per line.

      kbuild: split the second line of *.mod into *.usyms · 9413e764
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      The *.mod files have two lines; the first line lists the member objects
of the module, and the second line, if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y, lists
the undefined symbols.

Currently, we generate *.mod after constructing composite modules,
otherwise, we cannot compute the second line. No prerequisite is
required to print the first line.

They are orthogonal. Splitting them into separate commands will ease
further cleanups.

This commit splits the list of undefined symbols out to *.usyms files.

Previously, the list of undefined symbols ended up with a very long
line, but now it has one symbol per line.

Use sed like we did before commit 7d32358b ("kbuild: avoid split
lines in .mod files").

      kbuild: make multi_depend work with targets in subdirectory · f97cf399
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      Precisely speaking, when you get the stem of the path, you should use
$(patsubst $(obj)/%,%,...) instead of $(notdir ...).

I do not see this usecase, but if you create a composite object in a
subdirectory, the Makefile should look like this:

   obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += dir/foo.o
   dir/foo-objs      := dir/foo1.o dir/foo2.o

The member objects should be assigned to dir/foo-objs instead of
foo-objs.

This syntax is more consistent with commit 54b8ae66 ("kbuild:
change *FLAGS_<basetarget>.o to take the path relative to $(obj)").

      kbuild: refactor cmd_modversions_c · 8017ce50
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      cmd_modversions_c implements two parts; run genksyms to calculate CRCs
of exported symbols, run $(LD) to update the object with the CRCs. The
latter is not executed for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y since the object is not
ELF but LLVM bit code at this point.

The first part can be unified because we can always use $(NM) instead
of "$(OBJDUMP) -h" to dump the symbols.

Split the code into the two macros, cmd_gen_symversions_c and
cmd_modversions.

      modpost: remove annoying namespace_from_kstrtabns() · 79f646e8
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      There are two call sites for sym_update_namespace().

When the symbol has no namespace, s->namespace is set to NULL,
but the conversion from "" to NULL is done in two different places.

[1] read_symbols()

  This gets the namespace from __kstrtabns_<symbol>. If the symbol has
  no namespace, sym_get_data(info, sym) returns the empty string "".
  namespace_from_kstrtabns() converts it to NULL before it is passed to
  sym_update_namespace().

[2] read_dump()

  This gets the namespace from the dump file, *.symvers. If the symbol
  has no namespace, the 'namespace' is the empty string "", which is
  directly passed into sym_update_namespace(). The conversion from
  "" to NULL is done in sym_update_namespace().

namespace_from_kstrtabns() exists only for creating this inconsistency.

Remove namespace_from_kstrtabns() so that sym_update_namespace() is
consistently passed with "" instead of NULL.

      modpost: remove useless export_from_sec() · 7ce3e410
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      With commit 1743694e ("modpost: stop symbol preloading for
modversion CRC") applied, now export_from_sec() is useless.

handle_symbol() is called for every symbol in the ELF.

When 'symname' does not start with "__ksymtab", export_from_sec() is
called, and the returned value is stored in 'export'.

It is used in the last part of handle_symbol():

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")) {
            name = symname + strlen("__ksymtab_");
            sym_add_exported(name, mod, export);
    }

'export' is used only when 'symname' starts with "__ksymtab_".

So, the value returned by export_from_sec() is never used.

Remove useless export_from_sec(). This makes further cleanups possible.

I put the temporary code:

    export = export_unknown;

Otherwise, I would get the compiler warning:

    warning: 'export' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This is apparently false positive because

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")

... is a stronger condition than:

    if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab")

Anyway, this part will be cleaned up by the next commit.
