[PATCH v3 3/8] kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost

Masahiro Yamada
2022-09-28T06:42:54Z

Commit 7b4537199a4a ("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.

This commit applies a similar approach to the entire data structure of
EXPORT_SYMBOL() for further cleanups. The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation
is split into two stages.

When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() is converted into a
dummy symbol in the .discard.export_symbol section.

For example,

EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);

will be encoded into the following assembly code:

.section .discard.export_symbol
__export_symbol.foo:
.asciz ""
.previous

.section .discard.export_symbol
__export_symbol_gpl.bar:
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE"
.previous

They are just markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the section name starts with ".discard.".

Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.discard.export_symbol section, and generates 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 22823ab419d8 ("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 8651ec01daed ("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.

Changes in v3:
- Move struct kernel_symbol to kernel/module/internal.h

Changes in v2:
- Use KSYMTAB_FUNC and KSYMTAB_DATA for functions and data, respectively
This distinction is needed for ia64.
