directory, the build fails with:

However, doing so does not fix the problem, as "make mrproper" now
requires passing the target architecture to the make command, else it
won't remove $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated.
"git ls-files -o" doesn't give a clue, as it doesn't list (empty)
directories, only files.

Improve usability by including the ARCH= option in the error output.

Masahiro Yamada 95fd3f87bf kbuild: add a flag to force absolute path for srctree
In old days, Kbuild always used an absolute path for $(srctree).

Since commit 890676c65d ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in
the source tree"), $(srctree) is '.' when O= was not passed from the
command line.

Yet, using absolute paths is useful in some cases even without O=, for
instance, to create a cscope file with absolute path tags.

'O=.' was known to work as a workaround to force Kbuild to use absolute
paths even when you are building in the source tree.

Since commit 25b146c5b8 ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any
directory"), Kbuild is too clever to be tricked. Even if you pass 'O=.'
Kbuild notices you are building in the source tree, then use '.' for
$(srctree).

So, 'make O=. cscope' is no help to create absolute path tags.

We cannot force one or the other according to commit e93bc1a0ca
("Revert "kbuild: specify absolute paths for cscope""). Both of
relative path and absolute path have pros and cons.

This commit adds a new flag KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE to allow users to
choose the absolute path for $(srctree).

'make KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE=1 cscope' will work as a replacement of
'make O=. cscope'.

Masahiro Yamada 43c78d8803 kbuild: compile-test kernel headers to ensure they are self-contained
The headers in include/ are globally used in the kernel source tree
to provide common APIs. They are included from external modules, too.

It will be useful to make as many headers self-contained as possible
so that we do not have to rely on a specific include order.

There are more than 4000 headers in include/. In my rough analysis,
70% of them are already self-contained. With efforts, most of them
can be self-contained.

For now, we must exclude more than 1000 headers just because they
cannot be compiled as standalone units. I added them to header-test-.
The blacklist was mostly generated by a script, so the reason of the
breakage should be checked later.

Masahiro Yamada c93a0368aa kbuild: do not create wrappers for header-test-y
header-test-y does not work with headers in sub-directories.

For example, you may want to write a Makefile, like this:

include/linux/Kbuild:

  header-test-y += mtd/nand.h

This entry will create a wrapper include/linux/mtd/nand.hdrtest.c
with the following content:

  #include "mtd/nand.h"

To make this work, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux to the
header search path. It would be tedious to add ccflags-y.

Instead, we could change the *.hdrtest.c rule to wrap:

  #include "nand.h"

This works for in-tree build since #include "..." searches in the
relative path from the header with this directive. For O=... build,
we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux/mtd to the header search path,
which will be even more tedious.

After all, I thought it would be handier to compile headers directly
without creating wrappers.

I added a new build rule to compile %.h into %.h.s

The target is %.h.s instead of %.h.o because it is slightly faster.
Also, as for GCC, an empty assembly is smaller than an empty object.

I wrote the build rule:

  $(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c /dev/null -include $<

instead of:

  $(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c $<

Both work fine with GCC, but the latter is bad for Clang.

This comes down to the difference in the -Wunused-function policy.
GCC does not warn about unused 'static inline' functions at all.
Clang does not warn about the ones in included headers, but does
about the ones in the source. So, we should handle headers as
headers, not as source files.

In fact, this has been hidden since commit abb2ea7dfd ("compiler,
clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"), but we
should not rely on that.

Masahiro Yamada d6fc9fcbaa kbuild: compile-test exported headers to ensure they are self-contained
Multiple people have suggested compile-testing UAPI headers to ensure
they can be really included from user-space. "make headers_check" is
obviously not enough to catch bugs, and we often leak unresolved
references to user-space.

Use the new header-test-y syntax to implement it. Please note exported
headers are compile-tested with a completely different set of compiler
flags. The header search path is set to $(objtree)/usr/include since
exported headers should not include unexported ones.

We use -std=gnu89 for the kernel space since the kernel code highly
depends on GNU extensions. On the other hand, UAPI headers should be
written in more standardized C, so they are compiled with -std=c90.
This will emit errors if C++ style comments, the keyword 'inline', etc.
are used. Please use C style comments (/* ... */), '__inline__', etc.
in UAPI headers.

There is additional compiler requirement to enable this test because
many of UAPI headers include <stdlib.h>, <sys/ioctl.h>, <sys/time.h>,
etc. directly or indirectly. You cannot use kernel.org pre-built
toolchains [1] since they lack <stdlib.h>.

I reused CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK to check the system header availability.
The intention is slightly different, but a compiler that can link
userspace programs provide system headers.

For now, a lot of headers need to be excluded because they cannot
be compiled standalone, but this is a good start point.

Multiple people sent me similar questions, patches. For instance,

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/17/456

already (ab)use M=... to do that because it seems to work to some extent.

Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt says M= and KBUILD_EXTMOD are used for
building external modules.

this may not be noticed much.

Nathan Chancellor 589834b3a0 kbuild: Add -Werror=unknown-warning-option to CLANG_FLAGS
In commit ebcc5928c5 ("arm64: Silence gcc warnings about arch ABI
drift"), the arm64 Makefile added -Wno-psabi to KBUILD_CFLAGS, which is
a GCC only option so clang rightfully complains:

warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi' [-Wunknown-warning-option]

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wunknown-warning-option

However, by default, this is merely a warning so the build happily goes
on with a slew of these warnings in the process.

Commit c3f0d0bc5b ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to cc-option to
support clang") worked around this behavior in cc-option by adding
-Werror so that unknown flags cause an error. However, this all happens
silently and when an unknown flag is added to the build unconditionally
like -Wno-psabi, cc-option will always fail because there is always an
unknown flag in the list of flags. This manifested as link time failures
in the arm64 libstub because -fno-stack-protector didn't get added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS.

To avoid these weird cryptic failures in the future, make clang behave
like gcc and immediately error when it encounters an unknown flag by
adding -Werror=unknown-warning-option to CLANG_FLAGS. This can be added
unconditionally for clang because it is supported by at least 3.0.0,
according to godbolt [1] and 4.0.0, according to its documentation [2],
which is far earlier than we typically support.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers

units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on.

Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add
headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will
generate a dummy C file per header that gets built as part of extra-y.

Masahiro Yamada 59b2bd05f5 kbuild: add 'headers' target to build up uapi headers in usr/include
In Linux build system, build targets and installation targets are
separated.

Examples are:

 - 'make vmlinux' -> 'make install'
 - 'make modules' -> 'make modules_install'
 - 'make dtbs'    -> 'make dtbs_install'
 - 'make vdso'    -> 'make vdso_install'

The intention is to run the build targets under the normal privilege,
then the installation targets under the root privilege since we need
the write permission to the system directories.

We have 'make headers_install' but the corresponding 'make headers'
stage does not exist. The purpose of headers_install is to provide
the kernel interface to C library. So, nobody would try to install
headers to /usr/include directly.

If 'sudo make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include headers_install' were run,
some build artifacts in the kernel tree would be owned by root because
some of uapi headers are generated by 'uapi-asm-generic', 'archheaders'
targets.

Anyway, I believe it makes sense to split the header installation into
two stages.

 [1] 'make headers'
    Process headers in uapi directories by scripts/headers_install.sh
    and copy them to usr/include

 [2] 'make headers_install'
    Copy '*.h' verbatim from usr/include to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH)/include

For the backward compatibility, 'headers_install' depends on 'headers'.

Some samples expect uapi headers in usr/include. So, the 'headers'
target is useful to build up them in the fixed location usr/include
irrespective of INSTALL_HDR_PATH.

Another benefit is to stop polluting the final destination with the
time-stamp files '.install' and '.check'. Maybe you can see them in
your toolchains.

Lastly, my main motivation is to prepare for compile-testing uapi
headers. To build something, we have to save an object and .*.cmd
somewhere. The usr/include/ will be the work directory for that.

Commit 5318321d36 ("samples: disable CONFIG_SAMPLES for UML") used
a big hammer to fix the build errors under the samples/ directory.
Only some samples actually include uapi headers from usr/include.

Introduce CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL since 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' is
clearer than 'depends on !UML'. If this option is enabled, uapi headers
are installed before starting directory descending.

I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' to per-sample CONFIG options.
This allows UML to compile some samples.

run it only for the single target "Documentation/".

Masahiro Yamada f3c8d4c7a7 kbuild: remove headers_{install,check}_all
headers_install_all does not make much sense any more because different
architectures export different set of uapi/linux/ headers. As you see
in include/uapi/linux/Kbuild, the installation of a.out.h, kvm.h, and
kvm_para.h is arch-dependent. So, headers_install_all repeats the
installation/removal of them.

If somebody really thinks it is useful to do headers_install for all
architectures, it would be possible by small shell-scripting, but
the top Makefile does not have to provide entry targets just for that
purpose.

Dan Rue 6d3db46c8e kbuild: teach kselftest-merge to find nested config files
Current implementation of kselftest-merge only finds config files that
are one level deep using `$(srctree)/tools/testing/selftests/*/config`.

Often, config files are added in nested directories, and do not get
picked up by kselftest-merge.

Use `find` to catch all config files under
`$(srctree)/tools/testing/selftests` instead.

Masahiro Yamada 3a48a91901 kbuild: check uniqueness of module names
In the recent build test of linux-next, Stephen saw a build error
caused by a broken .tmp_versions/*.mod file:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991

drivers/net/phy/asix.ko and drivers/net/usb/asix.ko have the same
basename, and there is a race in generating .tmp_versions/asix.mod

Kbuild has not checked this before, and it suddenly shows up with
obscure error messages when this kind of race occurs.

Non-unique module names cause various sort of problems, but it is
not trivial to catch them by eyes.

Hence, this script.

It checks not only real modules, but also built-in modules (i.e.
controlled by tristate CONFIG option, but currently compiled with =y).
Non-unique names for built-in modules also cause problems because
/sys/modules/ would fall over.

For the latest kernel, I tested "make allmodconfig all" (or more
quickly "make allyesconfig modules"), and it detected the following:

warning: same basename if the following are built as modules:
  drivers/regulator/88pm800.ko
  drivers/mfd/88pm800.ko

Masahiro Yamada d2f8ae0e4c kbuild: turn auto.conf.cmd into a mandatory include file
syncconfig is responsible for keeping auto.conf up-to-date, so if it
fails for any reason, the build must be terminated immediately.

However, since commit 9390dff66a ("kbuild: invoke syncconfig if
include/config/auto.conf.cmd is missing"), Kbuild continues running
even after syncconfig fails.

You can confirm this by intentionally making syncconfig error out:

  diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c
  index 08ba146..307b9de 100644
  --- a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c
  +++ b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c
  @@ -1023,6 +1023,9 @@ int conf_write_autoconf(int overwrite)

          int i;

  +       if (overwrite)
  +               return 1;
  +
          if (!overwrite && is_present(autoconf_name))
                  return 0;

Then, syncconfig fails, but Make would not stop:

  $ make -s mrproper allyesconfig defconfig
  $ make
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig

  *** Error during sync of the configuration.

  make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile;69: syncconfig] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [Makefile;557: syncconfig] Error 2

    SYSTBL  arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h
  [ continue running ... ]

The reason is in the behavior of a pattern rule with multi-targets.

  %/auto.conf %/auto.conf.cmd %/tristate.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG)
          $(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile syncconfig

GNU Make knows this rule is responsible for making all the three files
simultaneously. As far as examined, auto.conf.cmd is the target in
question when this rule is invoked. It is probably because auto.conf.cmd
is included below the inclusion of auto.conf.

The inclusion of auto.conf is mandatory, while that of auto.conf.cmd
is optional. GNU Make does not care about the failure in the process
of updating optional include files.

I filed this issue (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56301) in case this
behavior could be improved somehow in future releases of GNU Make.
Anyway, it is quite easy to fix our Makefile.

Given that auto.conf is already a mandatory include file, there is no
reason to stick auto.conf.cmd optional. Make it mandatory as well.

Alexey Gladkov 898490c010 moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file
Problem:

When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module.  In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.

Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:

1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.

2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.

Proposal:

The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.

It can be easily read in the userspace:
