Handle typeof_unqual, __typeof_unqual and __typeof_unqual__ keywords
using TYPEOF_KEYW token in the same way as typeof keyword.
Also ignore x86 __seg_fs and __seg_gs named address space qualifiers
using X86_SEG_KEYW token in the same way as const, volatile or
restrict qualifiers.

A longstanding issue with genksyms is that it has hidden syntax errors.
For example, genksyms fails to parse the following valid code:
int x, __attribute__((__section__(".init.data")))y;
Here, only 'y' is annotated by the attribute, although I am not aware
of actual uses of this pattern in the kernel tree.
When a syntax error occurs, yyerror() is called. However,
error_with_pos() is a no-op unless the -w option is provided.
You can observe syntax errors by manually passing the -w option.
$ echo 'int x, __attribute__((__section__(".init.data")))y;' | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -w
<stdin>:1: syntax error
This commit allows attributes to be placed between a comma and
init_declarator.

I believe the missing action here is a bug.
For rules with no explicit action, the following default is used:
{ $$ = $1; }
However, in this case, $1 is the value of attribute_opt itself. As a
result, the value of attribute_opt is always NULL.
The following test code demonstrates inconsistent behavior.
int x __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
int y __attribute__((__aligned__(4))) = 0;
The attribute is recorded only when followed by an initializer.
This commit adds the correct action to propagate the value of the
ATTRIBUTE_PHRASE token.
With this change, the attribute in the example above is consistently
recorded for both 'x' and 'y'.
[Before]
$ cat <<EOF | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -d
int x __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
int y __attribute__((__aligned__(4))) = 0;
EOF
Defn for type0 x == <int x >
Defn for type0 y == <int y __attribute__ ( ( __aligned__ ( 4 ) ) ) >
Hash table occupancy 2/4096 = 0.000488281

Similar to the previous commit, this change makes the parser logic a
little more accurate.
Currently, genksyms accepts the following invalid code:
struct foo {
int (*callback)(int)(int)(int);
};
A direct-declarator should not recursively absorb multiple
( parameter-type-list ) constructs.
In the example above, (*callback) should be followed by at most one
(int).

While there is no more grammatical ambiguity in genksyms, the parser
logic is still inaccurate.
For example, genksyms accepts the following invalid C code:
void my_func(int ()(int));
This should result in a syntax error because () cannot be reduced to
<direct-abstract-declarator>.
( <abstract-declarator> ) can be reduced, but <abstract-declarator>
must not be empty in the following grammar from K&R [1]:
<direct-abstract-declarator> ::= ( <abstract-declarator> )
| {<direct-abstract-declarator>}? [ {<constant-expression>}? ]
| {<direct-abstract-declarator>}? ( {<parameter-type-list>}? )
Furthermore, genksyms accepts the following weird code:
void my_func(int (*callback)(int)(int)(int));
The parser allows <direct-abstract-declarator> to recursively absorb
multiple ( {<parameter-type-list>}? ), but this behavior is incorrect.
In the example above, (*callback) should be followed by at most one
(int).

The genksyms parser has ambiguities in its grammar, which are currently
suppressed by a workaround in scripts/genksyms/Makefile.
Building genksyms with W=1 generates the following warnings:
YACC scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.[ch]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: warning: 3 shift/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-sr]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: note: rerun with option '-Wcounterexamples' to generate conflict counterexamples
The ambiguity arises when decl_specifier_seq is followed by '(' because
the following two interpretations are possible:
- decl_specifier_seq direct_abstract_declarator '(' parameter_declaration_clause ')'
- decl_specifier_seq '(' abstract_declarator ')'
This issue occurs because the current parser allows an empty string to
be reduced to direct_abstract_declarator, which is incorrect.
K&R [1] explains the correct grammar:
<parameter-declaration> ::= {<declaration-specifier>}+ <declarator>
| {<declaration-specifier>}+ <abstract-declarator>
| {<declaration-specifier>}+
<abstract-declarator> ::= <pointer>
| <pointer> <direct-abstract-declarator>
| <direct-abstract-declarator>
<direct-abstract-declarator> ::= ( <abstract-declarator> )
| {<direct-abstract-declarator>}? [ {<constant-expression>}? ]
| {<direct-abstract-declarator>}? ( {<parameter-type-list>}? )
This commit resolves all remaining conflicts.
We need to consider the difference between the following two examples:
[Example 1] ( <abstract-declarator> ) can become <direct-abstract-declarator>
void my_func(int (foo));
... is equivalent to:
void my_func(int foo);
[Example 2] ( <parameter-type-list> ) can become <direct-abstract-declarator>
typedef int foo;
void my_func(int (foo));
... is equivalent to:
void my_func(int (*callback)(int));
Please note that the function declaration is identical in both examples,
but the preceding typedef creates the distinction. I introduced a new
term, open_paren, to enable the type lookup immediately after the '('
token. Without this, we cannot distinguish between [Example 1] and
[Example 2].

scripts/genksyms/parse.y: warning: 5 reduce/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-rr]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: note: rerun with option '-Wcounterexamples' to generate conflict counterexamples
The comment in the parser describes the current problem:
/* This wasn't really a typedef name but an identifier that
shadows one. */
Consider the following simple C code:
typedef int foo;
void my_func(foo foo) {}
In the function parameter list (foo foo), the first 'foo' is a type
specifier (typedef'ed as 'int'), while the second 'foo' is an identifier.
However, the lexer cannot distinguish between the two. Since 'foo' is
already typedef'ed, the lexer returns TYPE for both instances, instead
of returning IDENT for the second one.
To support shadowed identifiers, TYPE can be reduced to either a
simple_type_specifier or a direct_abstract_declarator, which creates
a grammatical ambiguity.
Without analyzing the grammar context, it is very difficult to resolve
this correctly.
This commit introduces a flag, dont_want_type_specifier, which allows
the parser to inform the lexer whether an identifier is expected. When
dont_want_type_specifier is true, the type lookup is suppressed, and
the lexer returns IDENT regardless of any preceding typedef.
After this commit, only 3 shift/reduce conflicts will remain.

When a symbol that is already registered is read again from *.symref
file, __add_symbol() removes the previous one from the hash table without
freeing it.
[Test Case]
$ cat foo.c
#include <linux/export.h>
void foo(void);
void foo(void) {}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
$ cat foo.symref
foo void foo ( void )
foo void foo ( void )
When a symbol is removed from the hash table, it must be freed along
with its ->name and ->defn members. However, sym->name cannot be freed
because it is sometimes shared with node->string, but not always. If
sym->name and node->string share the same memory, free(sym->name) could
lead to a double-free bug.
To resolve this issue, always assign a strdup'ed string to sym->name.

When a symbol that is already registered is added again, __add_symbol()
returns without freeing the symbol definition, making it unreachable.
The following test cases demonstrate different memory leak points.
[Test Case 1]
Forward declaration with exactly the same definition
$ cat foo.c
#include <linux/export.h>
void foo(void);
void foo(void) {}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
[Test Case 2]
Forward declaration with a different definition (e.g. attribute)
$ cat foo.c
#include <linux/export.h>
void foo(void);
__attribute__((__section__(".ref.text"))) void foo(void) {}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
[Test Case 3]
Preserving an overridden symbol (compile with KBUILD_PRESERVE=1)
$ cat foo.c
#include <linux/export.h>
void foo(void);
void foo(void) { }
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
$ cat foo.symref
override foo void foo ( int )
The memory leaks in Test Case 1 and 2 have existed since the introduction
of genksyms into the kernel tree. [1]
The memory leak in Test Case 3 was introduced by commit 5dae9a550a74
("genksyms: allow to ignore symbol checksum changes").
When multiple init_declarators are reduced to an init_declarator_list,
the decl_spec must be duplicated. Otherwise, the following Test Case 4
would result in a double-free bug.
[Test Case 4]
$ cat foo.c
#include <linux/export.h>
extern int foo, bar;
int foo, bar;
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
In this case, 'foo' and 'bar' share the same decl_spec, 'int'. It must
be unshared before being passed to add_symbol().

The C11 _Static_assert() keyword may be used at module scope, and we
need to teach genksyms about it to not abort with an error. We currently
have a growing number of static_assert() (but also direct usage of
_Static_assert()) users at module scope:
git grep -E '^_Static_assert\(|^static_assert\(' | grep -v '^tools' | wc -l
135
More recently, when enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS with CONFIG_KCSAN, we
observe a number of warnings:
WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "<..all kcsan symbols..>" [vmlinux] [...]
When running a preprocessed source through 'genksyms -w' a number of
syntax errors point at usage of static_assert()s. In the case of
kernel/kcsan/encoding.h, new static_assert()s had been introduced which
used expressions that appear to cause genksyms to not even be able to
recover from the syntax error gracefully (as it appears was the case
previously).
Therefore, make genksyms ignore all _Static_assert() and the contained
expression. With the fix, usage of _Static_assert() no longer cause
"syntax error" all over the kernel, and the above modpost warnings for
KCSAN are gone, too.

I noticed that genksyms will segfault when it sees duplicate function
pointer type declaration when I placed the same function pointer
definition in two separate headers in a local branch as an intermediate
step of some refactoring. This can be reproduced by piping the following
minimal test case into `genksyms -r /dev/null` or alternatively, putting
it into a C file attempting a build:
typedef int (*f)();
typedef int (*f)();
Attaching gdb to genksyms to understand this failure is useless without
changing CFLAGS to emit debuginfo. Once you have debuginfo, you will
find that the failure is that `char *s` was NULL and the program
executed `while(*s)`. At which point, further debugging requires
familiarity with compiler front end / parser development.
What happens is that flex identifies the first instance of the token "f"
as IDENT and the yacc parser adds it to the symbol table. On the second
instance, flex will identify "f" as TYPE, which triggers an error case
in the yacc parser. Given that TYPE would have been IDENT had it not
been in the symbol table, the the segmentaion fault could be avoided by
treating TYPE as IDENT in the affected rule.
Some might consider placing identical function pointer type declarations
in different headers to be poor style might consider a failure to be
beneficial. However, failing through a segmentation fault makes the
cause non-obvious and can waste the time of anyone who encounters it.

Recent increased use of typeof() throughout the tree resulted in a
number of symbols (25 in a typical distro config of ours) not getting a
proper CRC calculated for them anymore, due to the parser in genksyms
not coping with several of these uses (interestingly in the majority of
[if not all] cases the problem is due to the use of typeof() in code
preceding a certain export, not in the declaration/definition of the
exported function/object itself; I wasn't able to find a way to address
this more general parser shortcoming).
The use of parameter_declaration is a little more relaxed than would be
ideal (permitting not just a bare type specification, but also one with
identifier), but since the same code is being passed through an actual
compiler, there's no apparent risk of allowing through any broken code.
Otoh using parameter_declaration instead of the ad hoc
"decl_specifier_seq '*'" / "decl_specifier_seq" pair allows all types to
be handled rather than just plain ones and pointers to plain ones.

Consider structures, unions and enums defined in the source file as
internal and do not expand them. This way, changes to e.g. struct
serial_private in drivers/tty/serial/8250_pci.c will not affect the
checksum of the pciserial_* exports.
|
|
Move the identical logic for recording a struct/union/enum definition to
a function.
|
|
Enum constants can be used as array sizes; if the enum itself does not
appear in the symbol expansion, a change in the enum constant will go
unnoticed. Example patch that changes the ABI but does not change the
checksum with current genksyms:
| enum e {
| E1,
| E2,
|+ E3,
| E_MAX
| };
|
| struct s {
| int a[E_MAX];
| }
|
| int f(struct s *s) { ... }
| EXPORT_SYMBOL(f)
Therefore, remember the value of each enum constant and
expand each occurence to <constant> <value>. The value is not actually
computed, but instead an expression in the form
(last explicitly assigned value) + N
is used. This avoids having to parse and semantically understand whole
of C.
Note: The changes won't take effect until the lexer and parser are
rebuilt by the next patch.

We are having two kinds of problems with genksyms today: fake checksum
changes without actual ABI changes, and changes which we would rather like
to ignore (such as an additional field at the end of a structure that
modules are not supposed to touch, for example).
I have thought about ways to improve genksyms and compute checksums
differently to avoid those problems, but in the end I don't see a
fundamentally better way. So here are some genksyms patches for at least
making the checksums more easily manageable, if we cannot fully fix them.
In addition to the bugfixes (the first two patches), this allows genksyms
to track checksum changes and report why a checksum changed (third patch),
and to selectively ignore changes (fourth patch).
This patch:
Gcc __attribute__ definitions may occur repeatedly, e.g.,
static int foo __attribute__((__used__))
__attribute__((aligned (16)));
The genksyms parser does not understand this, and generates a syntax error.
Fix this case.

Recently the __extension__ keyword has been introduced in the kernel.
Teach genksyms about this keyword so it can generate correct CRC for
exported symbols that uses a symbol marked __extension__.
For now only the typedef variant:
__extension__ typedef ...
is supported.
Later we may add more variants as needed.
This patch contains the actual source file changes. The
following patch will hold modifications to the generated
files (*_shipped) and only after the second patch the fix
has effect.

This is a one-line change to parse.y.
To take advantage of this the scripts/genksyms/*_shipped files needs to
be rebuild - this is the next patch.
When a .c file contains:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);
the .cpp output looks like:
__attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) __typeof__(struct foo_s *) per_cpu__bar;
With the existing parse.y, the value inside the paranthesis of
__typeof__() does not evaluate as a type_specifier and therefore
per_cpu__bar does not get assigned a type for genksyms which results in
the EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL() not generating a CRC value.
I have compared the Modules.symvers with and without this
patch and for ia64's defconfig, the only change is:
Before 0x00000000 per_cpu____sn_nodepda vmlinux
After 0x9d3f3faa per_cpu____sn_nodepda vmlinux
per_cpu____sn_nodepda was the original source of my problems.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
