The CRC code for asm exports grabs the preprocessed asm, finds the
___EXPORT_SYMBOL and turns those into EXPORT_SYMBOL in a C program
that can be preprocessed and parsed to create the CRC signatures from
the type.
The existing regex matching and replacement is too strict, and doesn't
deal well with whitespace among other things. The line
" EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym)" in a .S file would not match due to initial
whitespace, for example, which resulted in x86's ___preempt_schedule
failing to get CRCs.

ld -r is an incremental link used to create built-in.o files in build
subdirectories. It produces relocatable object files containing all
its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated
in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final
link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with
unresolvable relocations in the final link.
Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking.
This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information
available to it when it links the kernel.
This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which
causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o
files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached,
which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a
built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the
symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link.
The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now
has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise
just completely avoid including those without external references
(consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions
as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as
built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external
references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel
(due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and
costly because the .o files have to be searched for references.
Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead.
Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le
pseries VM with a modest .config:
inclink thinarc
sizes
vmlinux 15 618 680 15 625 028
sum of all built-in.o 56 091 808 1 054 334
sum excluding root built-in.o 151 430
find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux
real 22.772s 21.143s
user 13.280s 13.430s
sys 4.310s 2.750s
- Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how
ineffective the object file culling is.
- Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity.
On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win.
- Build size saving is significant.
Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks,
$ ar t built-in.o # list all files you linked with
$ size built-in.o # and their sizes
$ objdump -d built-in.o # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames

Collect the symbols exported by anything that goes into lib.a and
add an empty object (lib-exports.o) with explicit undefs for each
of those to obj-y.
That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in
lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-*
only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in
built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*.
As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile
and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile. Moreover, a change in
generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports
on some configs. With this change we don't have to worry about
that anymore.
One side effect is that built-in.o now pulls everything with exports
from the corresponding lib.a (if such exists). That's exactly what
we want for linking vmlinux and fortunately it's almost the only thing
built-in.o is used in. arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader is the only
exception and it's easy to get rid of now - just turn everything in
arch/ia64/lib into lib-* and don't bother with arch/ia64/lib/built-in.o
anymore.

The generation and postprocessing of automatic dependency rules is
duplicated in rule_cc_o_c, rule_as_o_S and if_changed_dep. Since
this is not a trivial one-liner action, it is now abstracted under
cmd_and_fixdep to simplify things and make future changes in this area
easier.
In the rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S cases that means the order of some
commands has been altered, namely fixdep and related file manipulations
are executed earlier, but they didn't depend on those commands that now
execute later.

Kernel modules are partially linked object files with some undefined
symbols that are expected to be matched with EXPORT_SYMBOL() entries
from elsewhere.
Each .tmp_versions/*.mod file currently contains two line of text
separated by a newline character. The first line has the actual module
file name while the second line has a list of object files constituting
that module. Those files are parsed by modpost (scripts/mod/sumversion.c),
scripts/Makefile.modpost, scripts/Makefile.modsign, etc. Only the
modpost utility cares about the second line while the others retrieve
only the first line.
Therefore we can add a third line to record the list of undefined symbols
aka required EXPORT_SYMBOL() entries for each module into that file
without breaking anything. Like for the second line, symbols are separated
by a blank and the list is terminated with a newline character.
To avoid needless build overhead, the undefined symbols extraction is
performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.

This allows to write
drm-$(CONFIG_AGP) += drm_agpsupport.o
without having to handle CONFIG_AGP=y vs. CONFIG_AGP=m. Only support
this syntax for modules, since built-in code depending on something
modular cannot work and init/Makefile actually relies on the current
semantics. There are a few drivers which adapted to the current
semantics out of necessity; these are fixed to also work when the
respective subsystem is modular.

The comment in scripts/Makefile.build says as follows:
We would rather have a list of rules like
foo.o: $(foo-objs)
but that's not so easy, so we rather make all composite objects depend
on the set of all their parts
This commit makes it possible!
For example, assume a Makefile like this
obj-m = foo.o bar.o
foo-objs := foo1.o foo2.o
bar-objs := bar1.o bar2.o
Without this patch, foo.o depends on all of
foo1.o foo2.o bar1.o bar2.o.
It looks funny that foo.o is regenerated when bar1.c is updated.
Now we can handle the dependency of foo.o and bar.o separately.

Having such code in scripts/Makefile.build results in the same flags
being added to KBUILD_CFLAGS multiple times becuase
scripts/Makefile.build is invoked every time Kbuild descends into

all of extra gcc check stuff to a new file scripts/Makefile.extrawarn,

Pass symbol-prefix to genksyms instead of arch, so that the decision
what symbol prefix to use is kept in one place.
Basically genksyms used to take a -a $ARCH argument and it used that to
determine whether to add an underscore symbol prefix. It's now changed
to take a -s $SYMBOL_PREFIX argument so that the caller decides whether
a symbol prefix is required. The build system then uses
CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX to determine whether to pass the
argument.

Add a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler. This produces a bytecode output that can
be fed to a decoder to inform the decoder how to interpret the ASN.1 stream it
is trying to parse.
Action functions can be specified in the grammar by interpolating:
({ foo })
after a type, for example:
SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
subjectPublicKey BIT STRING ({ do_key_data })
}
The decoder is expected to call these after matching this type and parsing the
contents if it is a constructed type.
The grammar compiler does not currently support the SET type (though it does
support SET OF) as I can't see a good way of tracking which members have been
encountered yet without using up extra stack space.
Currently, the grammar compiler will fail if more than 256 bytes of bytecode
would be produced or more than 256 actions have been specified as it uses
8-bit jump values and action indices to keep space usage down.
