One problem of grab_file() is that it cannot distinguish the following
two cases:
- It cannot read the file (the file does not exist, or read permission
is not set)
- It can read the file, but the file size is zero
This is because grab_file() calls mmap(), which requires the mapped
length is greater than 0. Hence, grab_file() fails for both cases.
If an empty header file were included for checksum calculation, the
following warning would be printed:
WARNING: modpost: could not open ...: Invalid argument
An empty file is a valid source file, so it should not fail.
Use read_text_file() instead. It can read a zero-length file.
Then, parse_file() will succeed with doing nothing.
Going forward, the first case (it cannot read the file) is a fatal
error. If the source file from which an object was compiled is missing,
something went wrong.

I do not know how reliably this function works, but it looks dangerous
to me.
strchr(sources, '\n');
... continues searching until it finds '\n' or it reaches the '\0'
terminator. In other words, 'sources' should be a null-terminated
string.
However, grab_file() just mmaps a file, so 'sources' is not terminated
with null byte. If the file does not contain '\n' at all, strchr() will
go beyond the mmap'ed memory.
Use read_text_file(), which loads the file content into a malloc'ed
buffer, appending null byte.
Here we are interested only in the first line of *.mod files. Use
get_line() helper to get the first line.
This also makes missing *.mod file a fatal error.
Commit 4be40e2223 ("kbuild: do not emit src version warning for
non-modules") ignored missing *.mod files.
I do not fully understand what that commit addressed, but commit
91341d4b2c ("kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch
analysis") introduced partial section checks by using modpost. built-in.o
was parsed by modpost. Even modules had a problem because *.mod files
were created after the modpost check.
Commit b7dca6dd1e ("kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and
remove MODVERDIR") stopped doing that. Now that modpost is only invoked
after the directory descend, *.mod files should always exist at the
modpost stage.

modpost uses grab_file() to open a file, but it is not suitable for
a text file because the mmap'ed file is not terminated by null byte.
Actually, I see some issues for the use of grab_file().
The new helper, read_text_file() loads the whole file content into a
malloc'ed buffer, and appends a null byte. Then, get_line() reads
each line.
To handle text files, I intend to replace as follows:
grab_file() -> read_text_file()
get_new_line() -> get_line()

The three calls of get_modinfo() ("license", "import_ns", "version")

If modpost fails to load a symbol dump file, it cannot check unresolved
symbols, hence module dependency will not be added. Nor CRCs can be added.
Currently, external module builds check only $(objtree)/Module.symvers,
but it should check files specified by KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS as well.
Move the warning message from the top Makefile to scripts/Makefile.modpost
and print the warning if any dump file is missing.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
check_exports() does not print warnings about unresolved symbols if
vmlinux is missing because there would be too many.
This situation happens when you do 'make modules' from the clean
tree, or compile external modules against a kernel tree that has
not been completely built.
It is dangerous to not check unresolved symbols because you might be
building useless modules. At least it should be warned.

Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked when you run

The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for
modules.
The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but
the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file,
presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols.
Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object.
Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second
pass.
A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file,
vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files.
The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same
way as before.
This makes further modpost cleanups possible.
Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote
Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols.
I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked
when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be
generated.

Previously, the -i option had two functions; load a symbol dump file,
and set the external_module flag.
I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them.
Going forward, the -i is used to load a symbol dump file, and the -e
to set the external_module flag.
With this, we will be able to use -i for loading in-kernel symbols.

The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols
loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building
external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols
to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump
file or ELF object.
This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols
loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but
not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe
this makes more sense.
sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too.

Currently, modpost reads extra symbol dump files in the reverse order.

$(filter -i,$(MAKEFLAGS)) works only in limited use-cases.
The representation of $(MAKEFLAGS) depends on various factors:
- GNU Make version (version 3.8x or version 4.x)
- The presence of other flags like -j
In my experiments, $(MAKEFLAGS) is expanded as follows:
* GNU Make 3.8x:
* without -j option:
--no-print-directory -Rri
* with -j option:
--no-print-directory -Rr --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j -i
* GNU Make 4.x:
* without -j option:
irR --no-print-directory
* with -j option:
irR -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory
For GNU Make 4.x, the flags are grouped as 'irR', which does not work.
For the single thread build with GNU Make 3.8x, the flags are grouped
as '-Rri', which does not work either.
To make it work for all cases, do likewise as commit 6f0fa58e45
("kbuild: simplify silent build (-s) detection").
BTW, since commit ff9b45c55b ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order
instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), you also need to pass -k option to
build final *.ko files. 'make -i -k' ignores compile errors in modules,
and build as many remaining *.ko as possible.
Please note this feature is kind of dangerous if other modules depend
on the broken module because the generated modules will lack the correct
module dependency or CRC. Honestly, I am not a big fan of it, but I am
keeping this feature.

As debug information gets larger and larger, it helps significantly save
the size of vmlinux images to compress the information in the debug
information sections. Note: this debug info is typically split off from
the final compressed kernel image, which is why vmlinux is what's used
in conjunction with GDB. Minimizing the debug info size should have no
impact on boot times, or final compressed kernel image size.
All of the debug sections will have a `C` flag set.

The segmentation fault occurs when section_rel() is called for vmlinux,
which is untested in regular builds. The cause of the problem is
reloc_location() returning a wrong pointer for ET_EXEC object type.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
