2025-04-06Disable SLUB_TINY for build testingLinus Torvalds
... and don't error out so hard on missing module descriptions. Before commit 6c6c1fc09de3 ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()") we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1'). After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error. And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims to the contrary. As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really noticed. The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code, both in tests and in slub itself. And so anybody doing full build tests didn't actually see this failre. So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends up limiting build coverage. Also turn the missing module descriptions error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1' builds.

Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() has resulted in a warning with make W=1. Since that time, all known instances of this issue have been fixed. Therefore, now make it an error if a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() is not present.

2025-02-06kbuild: keep symbols for symbol_get() even with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMSMasahiro Yamada
Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y. symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case. Probably, this has been broken since commit dbacb0ef670d ("kconfig option for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS"). This commit addresses the issue by leveraging modpost. Symbol names passed to symbol_get() are recorded in the special .no_trim_symbol section, which is then parsed by modpost to forcibly keep such symbols. The .no_trim_symbol section is discarded by the linker scripts, so there is no impact on the size of the final vmlinux or modules. This commit cannot resolve the issue for direct calls to __symbol_get() because the symbol name is not known at compile-time. Although symbol_get() may eventually be deprecated, this workaround should be good enough meanwhile.

We no longer generate an error on long symbols in modpost if CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is set, as they can now be appropriately encoded in the extended section. These symbols will be skipped in the previous encoding. An error will still be generated if CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is not set.

2025-01-10modpost: zero-pad CRC values in modversion_info arrayMasahiro Yamada
I do not think the '#' flag is useful here because adding the explicit '0x' is clearer. Add the '0' flag to zero-pad the CRC values. This change gives better alignment in the generated *.mod.c files.

2024-12-28modpost: work around unaligned data access errorMasahiro Yamada
With the latest binutils, modpost fails with a bus error on some architectures such as ARM and sparc64. Since binutils commit 1f1b5e506bf0 ("bfd/ELF: restrict file alignment for object files"), the byte offset to each section (sh_offset) in relocatable ELF is no longer guaranteed to be aligned. modpost parses MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() data structures, which are usually located in the .rodata section. If it is not properly aligned, unaligned access errors may occur. To address the issue, this commit imports the get_unaligned() helper from include/linux/unaligned.h. The get_unaligned_native() helper caters to the endianness in addition to handling the unaligned access. I slightly refactored do_pcmcia_entry() and do_input() to avoid writing back to an unaligned address. (We would need the put_unaligned() helper to do that.) The addend_*_rel() functions need similar adjustments because the .text sections are not aligned either. It seems that the .symtab, .rel.* and .rela.* sections are still aligned. Keep normal pointer access for these sections to avoid unnecessary performance costs.

2024-12-21modpost: distinguish same module paths from different dump filesMasahiro Yamada
Since commit 13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working directory to external module directory with M="), module paths are always relative to the top of the external module tree. The module paths recorded in Module.symvers are no longer globally unique when they are passed via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS for building other external modules, which may result in false-positive "exported twice" errors. Such errors should not occur because external modules should be able to override in-tree modules. To address this, record the dump file path in struct module and check it when searching for a module.

2024-09-07kbuild: compile constant module information only onceThomas Weißschuh
Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections. For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module and then linked into the module. However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all modules, internal and external. Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is compiled once and then linked into all modules. This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING. The modules are still relinked in this case. The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file instead of an inline string literal.

2024-01-17modpost: Ignore relaxation and alignment marker relocs on LoongArchWANG Xuerui
With recent trunk versions of binutils and gcc, alignment directives are represented with R_LARCH_ALIGN relocs on LoongArch, which is necessary for the linker to maintain alignment requirements during its relaxation passes. And even though the kernel is built with relaxation disabled, so far a small number of R_LARCH_RELAX marker relocs are still emitted as part of la.* pseudo instructions in assembly. These two kinds of relocs do not refer to symbols, which can trip up modpost's section mismatch checks, because the r_offset of said relocs can be zero or any other meaningless value, eventually leading to a `from == NULL` condition in default_mismatch_handler and SIGSEGV. As the two kinds of relocs are not concerned with symbols, just ignore them for section mismatch check purposes.

2023-12-10modpost: remove unreachable code after fatal()Masahiro Yamada
Now compilers can recognize fatal() never returns. While GCC 4.5 dropped support for -Wunreachable-code, Clang is capable of detecting the unreachable code. $ make HOSTCC=clang HOSTCFLAGS=-Wunreachable-code-return [snip] HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o scripts/mod/modpost.c:520:11: warning: 'return' will never be executed [-Wunreachable-code-return] return 0; ^ scripts/mod/modpost.c:477:10: warning: 'return' will never be executed [-Wunreachable-code-return] return 0; ^ 2 warnings generated.

2023-12-10modpost: remove unneeded initializer in section_rel()Masahiro Yamada
This initializer was added to avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized (gcc) and -Wsometimes-uninitialized (clang) warnings. Now that compilers recognize fatal() never returns, it is unneeded. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
2023-12-10modpost: inform compilers that fatal() never returnsMasahiro Yamada
The function fatal() never returns because modpost_log() calls exit(1) when LOG_FATAL is passed. Inform compilers of this fact so that unreachable code flow can be identified at compile time. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

2023-11-16modpost: fix section mismatch message for RELAMasahiro Yamada
The section mismatch check prints a bogus symbol name on some architectures. [test code] #include <linux/init.h> int __initdata foo; int get_foo(void) { return foo; } If you compile it with GCC for riscv or loongarch, modpost will show an incorrect symbol name: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -> done (section: .init.data) To get the correct symbol address, the st_value must be added. This issue has never been noticed since commit 93684d3b8062 ("kbuild: include symbol names in section mismatch warnings") presumably because st_value becomes zero on most architectures when the referenced symbol is looked up. It is not true for riscv or loongarch, at least. With this fix, modpost will show the correct symbol name: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data) Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>

2023-10-28modpost: remove more symbol patterns from the section check whitelistMasahiro Yamada
These symbol patterns were whitelisted to allow them to reference to functions with the old __devinit and __devexit annotations. We stopped doing this a long time ago, for example, commit 6f039790510f ("Drivers: scsi: remove __dev* attributes.") remove those annotations from the scsi drivers. Keep *_ops, *_probe, and *_console, otherwise they will really cause section mismatch warnings. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-10-28modpost: disallow *driver to reference .meminit* sectionsMasahiro Yamada
Drivers must not reference .meminit* sections, which are discarded when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n. The reason for whitelisting "*driver" in the section mismatch check was to allow drivers to reference symbols annotated as __devinit or __devexit that existed in the past. Those annotations were removed by the following commits: - 54b956b90360 ("Remove __dev* markings from init.h") - 92e9e6d1f984 ("modpost.c: Stop checking __dev* section mismatches") Remove the stale whitelist.
