<id>urn:sha1:56769ba4b297a629148eb24d554aef72d1ddfd9e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:

 1. Code duplication

    Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
    to the install destination.

    Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
    introducing more code duplication.

 2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts

    The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
    It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
    as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
    "make install" not depend on vmlinux").

 3. Broken code in some architectures

    Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
    without proper adaptation.

    'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.

    'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.

To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.

Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.

For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI)      += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION)   += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO)      += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

<title>vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations</title>
<updated>2023-03-21T20:15:34Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=aff69273af61f5d1c8fb401d6f19148d11629b41'/>
<id>urn:sha1:aff69273af61f5d1c8fb401d6f19148d11629b41</id>
<content type='text'>
The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

<title>kbuild: upgrade the orphan section warning to an error if CONFIG_WERROR is set</title>

Andrew Cooper suggested upgrading the orphan section warning to a hard link
error. However Nathan Chancellor said outright turning the warning into an
error with no escape hatch might be too aggressive, as we have had these
warnings triggered by new compiler generated sections, and suggested turning
orphan sections into an error only if CONFIG_WERROR is set. Kees Cook echoed
and emphasized that the mandate from Linus is that we should avoid breaking
builds. It wrecks bisection, it causes problems across compiler versions, etc.

Thus upgrade the orphan section warning to a hard link error only if
CONFIG_WERROR is set.

Like vmlinux, enable orphan-handling for the VDSO. This can catch
subtle errors that might arise from unexpected sections being included.

There is currently no dependency for vdso*-wrap.S on vdso*.so, which means that
you can get a build that uses a stale vdso*-wrap.o.

In commit a5b8ca97fbf8, the file that includes the vdso.so was moved and renamed
from arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.S to arch/arm64/kernel/vdso-wrap.S, when this
happened the Makefile was not updated to force the dependcy on vdso.so.

Fixes: a5b8ca97fbf8 ("arm64: do not descend to vdso directories twice")

randstruct into its own Makefile and split the CFLAGS from
GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS into RANDSTRUCT_CFLAGS.

<title>arm64: vdso: Fix "no previous prototype" warning</title>

<content type='text'>
If compiling the arm64 kernel with W=1 the following warning is produced:

| arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:9:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__kernel_clock_gettime’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
|     9 | int __kernel_clock_gettime(clockid_t clock,

| arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:15:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__kernel_gettimeofday’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
|    15 | int __kernel_gettimeofday(struct __kernel_old_timeval *tv,
|       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:21:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__kernel_clock_getres’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
|    21 | int __kernel_clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id,
|       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This patch removes "-Wmissing-prototypes" and "-Wmissing-declarations" compilers
flags from the compilation of vgettimeofday.c to make possible to build the
kernel with CONFIG_WERROR enabled.

<content type='text'>
This patch enables KCSAN for arm64, with updates to build rules
to not use KCSAN for several incompatible compilation units.

Recent GCC version(at least GCC10) made outline-atomics as the
default option(unlike Clang), which will cause linker errors
for kernel/kcsan/core.o. Disables the out-of-line atomics by
no-outline-atomics to fix the linker errors.

Meanwhile, as Mark said[1], some latent issues are needed to be
fixed which isn't just a KCSAN problem, we make the KCSAN depends
on EXPERT for now.

Tested selftest and kcsan_test(built with GCC11 and Clang 13),
and all passed.
