When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.
Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits:
- 5cf0fd591f ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
- a555bdd0c5 ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding")
We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL
are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit
KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.
Commit f73edc8951 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another
ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules,
modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB
only for symbols with sym->used==true.
BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/
Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain
reaction of trimming comes into play because:
- CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols
- CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux,
but not modules
If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess
that is unlikely to happen.

The default namespace is the null string, "".
When set, the null string "" is converted to NULL:
s->namespace = namespace[0] ? NOFAIL(strdup(namespace)) : NULL;
When printed, the NULL pointer is get back to the null string:
sym->namespace ?: ""
This saves 1 byte memory allocated for "", but loses the readability.
In kernel-space, we strive to save memory, but modpost is a userspace
tool used to build the kernel. On modern systems, such small piece of
memory is not a big deal.
Handle the namespace string as is.

Commit 31cb50b559 ("kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script
instead of modpost") moved the static EXPORT_SYMBOL* check from the
mostpost to a shell script because I thought it must be checked per
compilation unit to avoid false negatives.
I came up with an idea to do this in modpost, against combined ELF
files. The relocation entries in ELF will find the correct exported
symbol even if there exist symbols with the same name in different
compilation units.
Again, the same sample code.
Makefile:
obj-y += foo1.o foo2.o
foo1.c:
#include <linux/export.h>
static void foo(void) {}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
foo2.c:
void foo(void) {}
Then, modpost can catch it correctly.

Commit 7b4537199a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way
whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S.
For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the
entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL().
The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages.
When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into
a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section.
For example,
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);
will be encoded into the following assembly code:
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_foo:
.asciz "" /* license */
.asciz "" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad foo /* symbol reference */
.previous
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_bar:
.asciz "GPL" /* license */
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad bar /* symbol reference */
.previous
They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script.
Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.export_symbol section, and generates the final C code:
KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", "");
KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE");
KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct
kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module.
With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S
files, providing the following benefits.
[1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export
a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file.
arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner.
Commit 22823ab419 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation.
Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition
in *.S files. It was a nice improvement.
However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
for data objects on some architectures.
In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not),
and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly.
There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL:
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S)
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S)
They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c
KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", "");
KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", "");
The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as
KSYMTAB_FUNC().
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated.
[2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h>
There are two similar header implementations:
include/linux/export.h for .c files
include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files
Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they
tend to diverge.
Commit 8651ec01da ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did
not support the namespace for *.S files.
This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files.
<asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of
<linux/export.h> for a while.
They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all
replaced with #include <linux/export.h>.
[3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit)
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.
We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries
that are really used by modules.

ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using
inline assembler in C code.
On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to
a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because
arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__,
so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in
include/linux/linkage.h.
If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in
wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator,
but the start of a comment for ARC.
Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef.

This reverts commit cead61a671.
It exported __stack_smash_handler and __guard, while they may not be
defined by anyone.
The code *declares* __stack_smash_handler and __guard. It does not
create weak symbols. If no external library is linked, they are left
undefined, but yet exported.
If a loadable module tries to access non-existing symbols, bad things
(a page fault, NULL pointer dereference, etc.) will happen. So, the
current code is wrong and dangerous.
If the code were written as follows, it would *define* them as weak
symbols so modules would be able to get access to them.
void (*__stack_smash_handler)(void *) __attribute__((weak));
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__stack_smash_handler);
long __guard __attribute__((weak));
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__guard);
In fact, modpost forbids exporting undefined symbols. It shows an error
message if it detects such a mistake.
ERROR: modpost: "..." [...] was exported without definition
Unfortunately, it is checked only when the code is built as modular.
The problem described above has been unnoticed for a long time because
arch/um/os-Linux/user_syms.c is always built-in.
With a planned change in Kbuild, exporting undefined symbols will always
result in a build error instead of a run-time error. It is a good thing,
but we need to fix the breakage in advance.
One fix is to define weak symbols as shown above. An alternative is to
export them conditionally as follows:
#ifdef CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR
extern void __stack_smash_handler(void *);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__stack_smash_handler);
external long __guard;
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__guard);
#endif
This is what other architectures do; EXPORT_SYMBOL(__stack_chk_guard)
is guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR.
However, adding the #ifdef guard is not sensible because UML cannot
enable the stack-protector in the first place! (Please note UML does
not select HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR in Kconfig.)
So, the code is already broken (and unused) in multiple ways.
Just remove.

errors like seen above.
Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS to as-option invocations to clear up the errors.
This should have been done in commit d5c8d6e0fa ("kbuild: Update

When preprocessing arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, the target triple is
not passed to $(CPP) because we add it only to KBUILD_{C,A}FLAGS.
As a result, the linker script is preprocessed with predefined macros
for the build host instead of the target.
Assuming you use an x86 build machine, compare the following:
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null -target aarch64-linux-gnu
There is no actual problem presumably because our linker scripts do not
rely on such predefined macros, but it is better to define correct ones.
Move $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, so that all *.c, *.S, *.lds.S
will be processed with the proper target triple.

* If the symbol addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the

symbol name, (unknown).
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: foo (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.text)
(You need to use GNU linker instead of LLD to reproduce it.)
Fix the code to make modpost show the correct symbol name.
I imported (with adjustment) sign_extend32() from include/linux/bitops.h.
The '+8' is the compensation for pc-relative instruction. It is
documented in "ELF for the Arm Architecture" [1].
"If the relocation is pc-relative then compensation for the PC bias
(the PC value is 8 bytes ahead of the executing instruction in Arm
state and 4 bytes in Thumb state) must be encoded in the relocation
by the object producer."

addend_arm_rel() processes R_ARM_ABS32 in a wrong way.
Here, test code.
[test code 1]

int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
If you compile it with ARM versatile_defconfig, modpost will show the

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.data)

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data)
For R_ARM_ABS32, addend_arm_rel() sets r->r_addend to a wrong value.
I just mimicked the code in arch/arm/kernel/module.c.
However, there is more difficulty for ARM.
Here, test code.
[test code 2]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
int __initdata bar;
int get_bar(void) { return bar; }
With this commit applied, modpost will show the following messages
for ARM versatile_defconfig:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_foo (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: get_bar (section: .text) -> foo (section: .init.data)
The reference from 'get_bar' to 'foo' seems wrong.
I have no solution for this because it is true in assembly level.
In the following output, relocation at 0x1c is no longer associated
with 'bar'. The two relocation entries point to the same symbol, and
the offset to 'bar' is encoded in the instruction 'r0, [r3, #4]'.
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <get_foo>:
0: e59f3004 ldr r3, [pc, #4] @ c <get_foo+0xc>
4: e5930000 ldr r0, [r3]
8: e12fff1e bx lr
c: 00000000 .word 0x00000000
00000010 <get_bar>:
10: e59f3004 ldr r3, [pc, #4] @ 1c <get_bar+0xc>
14: e5930004 ldr r0, [r3, #4]
18: e12fff1e bx lr
1c: 00000000 .word 0x00000000
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x244 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
0000000c 00000c02 R_ARM_ABS32 00000000 .init.data
0000001c 00000c02 R_ARM_ABS32 00000000 .init.data
When find_elf_symbol() gets into a situation where relsym->st_name is
zero, there is no guarantee to get the symbol name as written in C.
I am keeping the current logic because it is useful in many architectures,
but the symbol name is not always correct depending on the optimization.
I left some comments in find_tosym().

This check is unneeded. Without it, sec_name() will returns the null
string "", then section_mismatch() will return immediately.
Anyway, special section indices rarely appear in these loops.

r_offset/r_addend holds the offset address from/to which a symbol is

This reverts commit a4d26f1a09.
The variable 'fromsym' never starts with ".L" since commit 87e5b1e8f2
("module: Sync code of is_arm_mapping_symbol()").
In other words, Pattern 6 is now dead code.
Previously, the .LANCHOR1 hid the symbols listed in Pattern 2.
87e5b1e8f2 provided a better solution.

gtags considers any file outside of its current working directory
"outside the source tree" and refuses to index it. For O= kernel builds,
or when "make" is invoked from a directory other then the kernel source
tree, gtags ignores the entire kernel source and generates an empty
index.
Force-set gtags current working directory to the kernel source tree.
Due to commit 9da0763bdd ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in
a subdir of the source tree"), if the kernel build is done in a
sub-directory of the kernel source tree, the kernel Makefile will set
the kernel's $srctree to ".." for shorter compile-time and run-time
warnings. Consequently, the list of files to be indexed will be in the
"../*" form, rendering all such paths invalid once gtags switches to the
kernel source tree as its current working directory.
If gtags indexing is requested and the build directory is not the kernel
source tree, index all files in absolute-path form.
Note, indexing in absolute-path form will not affect the generated
index, as paths in gtags indices are always relative to the gtags "root
directory" anyway (as evidenced by "gtags --dump").

find_elf_symbol2() converts the section index to the section name,
then compares the two strings in each iteration. This is slow.
It is faster to compare the section indices (i.e. integers) directly.

SHF_EXECINSTR is a bit flag (#define SHF_EXECINSTR 0x4).

There is no good reason to stop modpost immediately even if a special

Also, change the return type to bool.
