In 22f26f2177 awk was added to deduplicate *.mod files. The awk
invocation passes -v RS='( |\n)' to match a space or newline character
as the record separator. Unfortunately, POSIX states[1]
> If RS contains more than one character, the results are unspecified.
Some implementations (such as the One True Awk[2] used by the BSDs) do
not treat RS as a regular expression. When awk does not support regex
RS, build failures such as the following are produced (first error using
allmodconfig):
CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.o
CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o

To avoid this, use printf(1) to produce a newline between each object
path, instead of the space produced by echo(1), so that the default RS
can be used by awk.

scripts/Makefile.build and scripts/link-vmlinux.sh have similar setups
for the objtool arguments.
It was difficult to factor out them because all the vmlinux build rules
were written in a shell script. It is somewhat tedious to touch the two
files every time a new objtool option is supported.
To reduce the code duplication, move the objtool for vmlinux.o into
scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o. Then, move the common macros to Makefile.lib
so they are shared between Makefile.build and Makefile.vmlinux_o.

Like built-in.a, the command length of the *.mod rule scales with
the depth of the directory times the number of objects in the Makefile.
Add $(obj)/ by the shell command (awk) instead of by Make's builtin
function.
In-tree modules still have some room to the limit (ARG_MAX=2097152),
but this is more future-proof for big modules in a deep directory.
For example, you can build i915 as a module (CONFIG_DRM_I915=m) and
compare drivers/gpu/drm/i915/.i915.mod.cmd with/without this commit.
The issue is more critical for external modules because the M= path
can be very long as Jeff Johnson reported before [1].

Kbuild runs at the top of objtree instead of changing the working
directory to subdirectories. I think this design is nice overall but
some commands have a scalability issue.
The build command of built-in.a is one of them whose length scales with:
O(D * N)
Here, D is the length of the directory path (i.e. $(obj)/ prefix),
N is the number of objects in the Makefile, O() is the big O notation.
The deeper directory the Makefile directory is located, the more easily
it will hit the too long argument error.
We can make it better. Trim the $(obj)/ by Make's builtin function, and
restore it by a shell command (sed).
With this, the command length scales with:
O(D + N)
In-tree modules still have some room to the limit (ARG_MAX=2097152),
but this is more future-proof for big modules in a deep directory.
For example, you can build i915 as builtin (CONFIG_DRM_I915=y) and
compare drivers/gpu/drm/i915/.built-in.a.cmd with/without this commit.

The 'static' specifier and EXPORT_SYMBOL() are an odd combination.
Commit 15bfc2348d ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*
functions") tried to detect it, but this check has false negatives.
Here is the 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) {}
foo1.c exports the static symbol 'foo', but modpost cannot catch it
because it is fooled by foo2.c, which has a global symbol with the
same name.
s->is_static is cleared if a global symbol with the same name is found
somewhere, but EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the global symbol do not necessarily
belong to the same compilation unit.
This check should be done per compilation unit, but I do not know how
to do it in modpost. modpost runs against vmlinux.o or modules, which
merges multiple objects, then forgets their origin.
modpost cannot parse individual objects because they may not be ELF but
LLVM IR when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y.
Add a simple bash script to parse the output from ${NM}. This works for
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because llvm-nm can dump symbols of LLVM IR files.

When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted
to ELF.
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.
This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look
similar with/without LTO.
The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and
how this commit is changing it.
Current build flow
==================
[1] single-object module
$(LD)
$(CC) +objtool $(LD)
foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
(LLVM IR) (ELF) | (ELF)
|
foo.mod.o --/
(LLVM IR)
[2] multi-object module
$(LD)
$(CC) $(AR) +objtool $(LD)
foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
| (archive) (ELF) | (ELF)
foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/ |
(LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/
(LLVM IR)
One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive
despite of its suffix.
New build flow
==============
[1] single-object module
Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR.
Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO
is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object.
$(CC)+$(LD)+objtool $(LD)
foo.c ----------------------------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
(ELF) | (ELF)
|
foo.mod.o --/
(LLVM IR)
[2] multi-object module
Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive,
but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them
into a single ELF object.
$(LD)
$(CC) +objtool $(LD)
foo1.c ---------> foo1.o ---------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
| (ELF) | (ELF)
foo2.c ---------> foo2.o ----/ |
(LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Comprehensive interface overhaul:
=================================
Objtool's interface has some issues:
- Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to
turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes
objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features
to other arches.
- The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool
enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several
other features independent of that.
- The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is
really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options.
The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only
has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object
file".
- The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have
surprising behavior.
Overhaul the interface:
- get rid of subcmds
- make all features individually selectable
- remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options
- update the documentation
- fix some bugs found along the way
- Fix x32 regression
- Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs
- Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single
function from an object file.
- Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on
'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple
sections well, which can result in decoding failure.
- Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt.
object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but
possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the
way.

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.
Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.
It is time to get rid of this complexity.
Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.
Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.
No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.
Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.

When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the output from genksyms is saved in
separate *.symversions files, and will be used much later when
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because it is impossible to update LLVM bit code
here.
This approach is not robust because:
- *.symversions may or may not exist. If *.symversions does not
exist, we never know if it is missing for legitimate reason
(i.e. no EXPORT_SYMBOL) or something bad has happened (for
example, the user accidentally deleted it). Once it occurs,
it is not self-healing because *.symversions is generated
as a side effect.
- stale (i.e. invalid) *.symversions might be picked up if an
object is generated in a non-ordinary way, and corresponding
*.symversions (, which was generated by old builds) just happen
to exist.
A more robust approach is to save symbol versions in *.cmd files
because:
- *.cmd always exists (if the object is generated by if_changed
rule or friends). Even if the user accidentally deletes it,
it will be regenerated in the next build.
- *.cmd is always re-generated when the object is updated. This
avoid stale version information being picked up.
I will remove *.symversions later.

It is allowed to add the same objects multiple times to obj-y / obj-m:
obj-y += foo.o foo.o foo.o

It is also allowed to add the same objects multiple times to a composite
module:
obj-m += foo.o
foo-y := foo1.o foo2.o foo2.o foo1.o
This flexibility is useful because the same object might be selected by
different CONFIG options, like this:
obj-m += foo.o
foo-y := foo1.o
foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_X) += foo2.o
foo-$(CONFIG_FOO_Y) += foo2.o
The duplicated objects are omitted at link time. It works naturally in
Makefiles because GNU Make removes duplication in $^ without changing
the order.
It is working well, almost...
A small flaw I notice is, *.mod contains duplication in such a case.
This is probably not a big deal. As far as I know, the only small
problem is scripts/mod/sumversion.c parses the same file multiple
times.
I am fixing this because I plan to reuse *.mod for other purposes,
where the duplication can be problematic.
The code change is quite simple. We already use awk to drop duplicated
lines in modules.order (see cmd_modules_order in the same file).
I copied the code, but changed RS to use spaces as record separators.
I also changed the file format to list one object per line.

The *.mod files have two lines; the first line lists the member objects
of the module, and the second line, if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y, lists
the undefined symbols.
Currently, we generate *.mod after constructing composite modules,
otherwise, we cannot compute the second line. No prerequisite is
required to print the first line.
They are orthogonal. Splitting them into separate commands will ease
further cleanups.
This commit splits the list of undefined symbols out to *.usyms files.
Previously, the list of undefined symbols ended up with a very long
line, but now it has one symbol per line.

The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack
validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now
that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is
also redundant.
Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which
identifies a linked object.
Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do
so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for
manual vmlinux runs.
