Fix this by following the model demonstrated in codetag.lds.h. Introduce include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h, to bundle dynamic-debug's multiple sections together, into 2 macros: vmlinux.lds.h DATA_DATA: move the 2 BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(__dyndbg*) calls into dyndbg.lds.h DYNDBG_SECTIONS(). vmlinux.lds.h now includes the new file and calls the new macro. MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS keeps the 2 sections by name, aligns them and sets the output address to 0 when the sections are empty. dyndbg.lds.h includes (reuses) bounded-section.lds.h scripts/module.lds.S: now calls MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS right before the CODETAG macro (consistent with their placements in vmlinux.lds.h), and also includes dyndbg.lds.h This isolates vmlinux.lds.h from further __dyndbg section additions. CC: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Reviewed-by: Petr Pavlu --- v3: move #includes to top, drop extra ALIGN(8) in DYNDBG_SECTIONS, add RvBy v2: Address linker script review feedback for relocatable modules. MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS() used the BOUNDED_SECTION_BY() macro, which proved problematic for kernel modules for two reasons: 1. Unwanted Empty Sections: BOUNDED_SECTION_BY() automatically generates `__start` and `__stop` symbols. When applied to `MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS()`, the linker assumes the sections are populated due to the symbol definitions, forcing an empty `__dyndbg` and `__dyndbg_classes` output section in every compiled module, even those without dynamic debug configuration. Since the module loader uses `section_objs()` to locate data via ELF headers instead of relying on `__start`/`__stop` symbols, these assignments are completely unnecessary. 2. Non-zero Output Addresses: During relocatable linking (e.g., `ld.bfd -r`), omitting an explicit base address causes the section to inherit the current location counter. This results in non-zero sh_addr values in `.ko` files, which is confusing, degrades compressibility, and can cause issues with external tools parsing the ELF. Fix both issues by dropping `BOUNDED_SECTION_BY()` in favor of a simple `KEEP(*(...))` constraint and explicitly defining the sections with a `0` base address: `__dyndbg 0 : ALIGN(8) { ... }`. fixup-inc-vml --- MAINTAINERS | 1 + include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 6 ++---- scripts/module.lds.S | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 4a8b0fd665ce..25400fee9f32 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -9178,6 +9178,7 @@ DYNAMIC DEBUG M: Jason Baron M: Jim Cromie S: Maintained +F: include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h F: include/linux/dynamic_debug.h F: lib/dynamic_debug.c F: lib/test_dynamic_debug.c diff --git a/include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..9d8951bef688 --- /dev/null +++ b/include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only */ +#ifndef __ASM_GENERIC_DYNDBG_LDS_H +#define __ASM_GENERIC_DYNDBG_LDS_H + +#include +#define DYNDBG_SECTIONS() \ + BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(__dyndbg, ___dyndbg) \ + BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(__dyndbg_classes, ___dyndbg_classes) + +#define MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS() \ + __dyndbg 0 : ALIGN(8) { \ + KEEP(*(__dyndbg)) \ + } \ + __dyndbg_classes 0 : ALIGN(8) { \ + KEEP(*(__dyndbg_classes)) \ + } + +#endif /* __ASM_GENERIC_DYNDBG_LDS_H */ diff --git a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h index 3758a79d0430..bd60f278f762 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h @@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ #include #include +#include #ifndef LOAD_OFFSET #define LOAD_OFFSET 0 @@ -344,10 +345,7 @@ *(.data..do_once) \ STRUCT_ALIGN(); \ *(__tracepoints) \ - /* implement dynamic printk debug */ \ - . = ALIGN(8); \ - BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(__dyndbg_classes, ___dyndbg_classes) \ - BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(__dyndbg, ___dyndbg) \ + DYNDBG_SECTIONS() \ CODETAG_SECTIONS() \ LIKELY_PROFILE() \ BRANCH_PROFILE() \ diff --git a/scripts/module.lds.S b/scripts/module.lds.S index b62683061d79..2e62dc5bd5d4 100644 --- a/scripts/module.lds.S +++ b/scripts/module.lds.S @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ #endif #include +#include SECTIONS { /DISCARD/ : { @@ -61,6 +62,7 @@ SECTIONS { *(.rodata..L*) } + MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS() MOD_SEPARATE_CODETAG_SECTIONS() } -- 2.55.0
