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.

2024-12-08modpost: Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONSThomas Gleixner
The compiler can fully inline the actual handler function of an interrupt entry into the .irqentry.text entry point. If such a function contains an access which has an exception table entry, modpost complains about a section mismatch: WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x447c): Section mismatch in reference ... The relocation at __ex_table+0x447c references section ".irqentry.text" which is not in the list of authorized sections. Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS to cure the issue.

2024-11-28modpost: introduce module_alias_printf() helperMasahiro Yamada
The generic ->do_entry() handler is currently limited to returning a single alias string. However, this is not flexible enough for several subsystems, which currently require their own implementations: - do_usb_table() - do_of_table() - do_pnp_device_entry() - do_pnp_card_entries() This commit introduces a helper function so that these special cases can add multiple MODULE_ALIAS() and then migrate to the generic framework.

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.

2024-09-01modpost: improve the section mismatch warning formatMasahiro Yamada
This commit improves the section mismatch warning format when there is no suitable symbol name to print. The section mismatch warning prints the reference source in the form of <symbol_name>+<offset> and the reference destination in the form of <symbol_name>. However, there are some corner cases where <symbol_name> becomes "(unknown)", as reported in commit 23dfd914d2bf ("modpost: fix null pointer dereference"). In such cases, it is better to print the symbol address. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2024-01-28modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONSNathan Chancellor
After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown) WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references section ".ltext" which is not in the list of authorized sections. If you're adding a new section and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the list of authorized sections to jump to on fault. This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c. The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and '.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large', which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text' and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

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.

2023-10-18modpost: refactor check_sec_ref()Masahiro Yamada
We can replace &elf->sechdrs[i] with &sechdrs[i] to slightly shorten the code because we already have the local variable 'sechdrs'. However, defining 'sechdr' instead shortens the code further.

2023-10-18modpost: define TO_NATIVE() using bswap_* functionsMasahiro Yamada
The current TO_NATIVE() has some limitations: 1) You cannot cast the argument. 2) You cannot pass a variable marked as 'const'. 3) Passing an array is a bug, but it is not detected. Impelement TO_NATIVE() using bswap_*() functions. These are GNU extensions. If we face portability issues, we can port the code from include/uapi/linux/swab.h. With this change, get_rel_type_and_sym() can be simplified by casting the arguments directly.

2023-10-03modpost: Optimize symbol search from linear to binary searchJack Brennen
Modify modpost to use binary search for converting addresses back into symbol references. Previously it used linear search. This change saves a few seconds of wall time for defconfig builds, but can save several minutes on allyesconfigs. Before: $ make LLVM=1 -j128 allyesconfig vmlinux -s KCFLAGS="-Wno-error" $ time scripts/mod/modpost -M -m -a -N -o vmlinux.symvers vmlinux.o 198.38user 1.27system 3:19.71elapsed After: $ make LLVM=1 -j128 allyesconfig vmlinux -s KCFLAGS="-Wno-error" $ time scripts/mod/modpost -M -m -a -N -o vmlinux.symvers vmlinux.o 11.91user 0.85system 0:12.78elapsed Signed-off-by: Jack Brennen <jbrennen@google.com> Tested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2023-10-01modpost: Don't let "driver"s reference .exit.*Uwe Kleine-König
Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely are not available when the code is built-in. There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64 allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for W=1 builds. The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented since commit 0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference .init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the same way. Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to find this improvement.

2023-09-12linux/export: fix reference to exported functions for parisc64Masahiro Yamada
John David Anglin reported parisc has been broken since commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost"). Like ia64, parisc64 uses a function descriptor. The function references must be prefixed with P%. Also, symbols prefixed $$ from the library have the symbol type STT_LOPROC instead of STT_FUNC. They should be handled as functions too.
