Sasha Levin reports:
"gcc5 changes the default standard to c11, which makes kernel build
unhappy
Explicitly define the kernel standard to be gnu89 which should keep
everything working exactly like it was before gcc5"
There are multiple small issues with the new default, but the biggest
issue seems to be that the old - and very useful - GNU extension to
allow a cast in front of an initializer has gone away.
Patch updated by Kirill:
"I'm pretty sure all gcc versions you can build kernel with supports
-std=gnu89. cc-option is redunrant.
We also need to adjust HOSTCFLAGS otherwise allmodconfig fails for me"
Note by Andrew Pinski:
"Yes it was reported and both problems relating to this extension has
been added to gnu99 and gnu11. Though there are other issues with the
kernel dealing with extern inline have different semantics between
gnu89 and gnu99/11"
End result: we may be able to move up to a newer stdc model eventually,
but right now the newer models have some annoying deficiencies, so the
traditional "gnu89" model ends up being the preferred one.

Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.
This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.
Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.
On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :
| time |
+-------------+-----------------+
| manual .ko | make | size | percent
| compression | modules_install | | gain
+-------------+-----------------+------+--------
- | | 18.61s | 378M |
GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41%
XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83%
The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.
This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

We have been chasing a memory corruption bug, which turned out to be
caused by very old gcc (4.3.4), which happily turned conditional load
into a non-conditional one, and that broke correctness (the condition
was met only if lock was held) and corrupted memory.
This particular problem with that particular code did not happen when
never gccs were used. I've brought this up with our gcc folks, as I
wanted to make sure that this can't really happen again, and it turns
out it actually can.
Quoting Martin Jambor <mjambor@suse.cz>:
"More current GCCs are more careful when it comes to replacing a
conditional load with a non-conditional one, most notably they check
that a store happens in each iteration of _a_ loop but they assume
loops are executed. They also perform a simple check whether the
store cannot trap which currently passes only for non-const
variables. A simple testcase demonstrating it on an x86_64 is for
example the following:
$ cat cond_store.c
int g_1 = 1;
int g_2[1024] __attribute__((section ("safe_section"), aligned (4096)));
int c = 4;
int __attribute__ ((noinline))
foo (void)
{
int l;
for (l = 0; (l != 4); l++) {
if (g_1)
return l;
for (g_2[0] = 0; (g_2[0] >= 26); ++g_2[0])
;
}
return 2;
}
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (mprotect (g_2, sizeof(g_2), PROT_READ) == -1)
{
int e = errno;
error (e, e, "mprotect error %i", e);
}
foo ();
__builtin_printf("OK\n");
return 0;
}
/* EOF */
$ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=0
$ ./a.out
OK
$ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=1
$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The testcase fails the same at least with 4.9, 4.8 and 4.7. Therefore
I would suggest building kernels with this parameter set to zero. I
also agree with Jikos that the default should be changed for -O2. I
have run most of the SPEC 2k6 CPU benchmarks (gamess and dealII
failed, at -O2, not sure why) compiled with and without this option
and did not see any real difference between respective run-times"
Hopefully the default will be changed in newer gccs, but let's force it
for kernel builds so that we are on a safe side even when older gcc are
used.
The code in question was out-of-tree printk-in-NMI (yeah, surprise
suprise, once again) patch written by Petr Mladek, let me quote his
comment from our internal bugzilla:
"I have spent few days investigating inconsistent state of kernel ring buffer.
It went out that it was caused by speculative store generated by
gcc-4.3.4.
The problem is in assembly generated for make_free_space(). The functions is
called the following way:
+ vprintk_emit();
+ log = MAIN_LOG; // with logbuf_lock
or
log = NMI_LOG; // with nmi_logbuf_lock
cont_add(log, ...);
+ cont_flush(log, ...);
+ log_store(log, ...);
+ log_make_free_space(log, ...);
If called with log = NMI_LOG then only nmi_log_* global variables are safe to
modify but the generated code does store also into (main_)log_* global
variables:

It stores log_first_seq when edi == NMI_LOG. This instructions are used also
when edi == MAIN_LOG but the store is done speculatively before the condition
is decided. It is unsafe because we do not have "logbuf_lock" in NMI context
and some other process migh modify "log_first_seq" in parallel"
I believe that the best course of action is both
- building kernel (and anything multi-threaded, I guess) with that
optimization turned off
- persuade gcc folks to change the default for future releases

This is an alternative approach to lower the overhead of debug info
(as we discussed a few days ago)
gcc 4.7+ and newer binutils have a new "split debug info" debug info
model where the debug info is only written once into central ".dwo" files.
This avoids having to copy it around multiple times, from the object
files to the final executable. It lowers the disk space
requirements. In addition it defaults to compressed debug data.
More details here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission
This patch adds a new option to enable it. It has to be an option,
because it'll undoubtedly break everyone's debuginfo packaging scheme.
gdb/objdump/etc. all still work, if you have new enough versions.
I don't see big compile wins (maybe a second or two faster or so), but the
object dirs with debuginfo get significantly smaller. My standard kernel
config (slightly bigger than defconfig) shrinks from 2.9G disk space
to 1.1G objdir (with non reduced debuginfo). I presume if you are IO limited
the compile time difference will be larger.
Only problem I've seen so far is that it doesn't play well with older
versions of ccache (apparently fixed, see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10005)
v2: various fixes from Dirk Gouders. Improve commit message slightly.

Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random
oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling
the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug
apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means
that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1.
The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill
operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can
corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other
effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in
Michel's case.
This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by
Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments
when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the
problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for
variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code
generation problems.
Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows
non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we
can do
export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1
to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is
independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything
twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results).
Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail
(even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc
compare failure.

The specification of Python 3 is largely different from that of
Python 2.
For example, arch/ia64/scripts/unwcheck.py seems to be written
in Python 2, not compatible with Python 3.
It is not a good idea to invoke python scripts with the hard-coded
command name 'python'. The command 'python' could possibly be
Python 3 on some systems.
For that case, it is reasonable to allow to override the command name
by giving 'PYTHON=python2' from the command line.
The 'python' in arch/ia64/Makefile should be replaced with '$(PYTHON)'.

Fixes: 9da0763b ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in a subdir of the source tree")
Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
Commit c2e28dc9 (kbuild: Print the name of the build directory) prints
the name of the build directory for O= builds, but we should not be
doing this in make -s mode, so that commands like
make -s O=<dir> kernelrelease
can be used by scripts. This matches the behavior of make itself, where
the -s option implies --no-print-directory.

Pull kbuild fix from Michal Marek:
"There is one more fix for the relative paths series from -rc1: Print
the path to the build directory at the start of the build, so that
editors and IDEs can match the relative paths to source files"

kbuild: Print the name of the build directory
With commit 9da0763b (kbuild: Use relative path when building in a
subdir of the source tree), the compiler messages include relative
paths. These are however relative to the build directory, not the
directory where make was started. Print the "Entering directory ..."
message once, so that IDEs/editors can find the source files.

"Kbuild changes for v3.16-rc1:
- cross-compilation fix so that cc-option is testing the right
compiler
- Fix for make defconfig all
- Using relative paths to the object and source directory where
possible, plus fixes for the fallout of the change
- several cleanups in the Makefiles and scripts
