If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never
called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still
around in memory and not discarded.
When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the
TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event.
Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes.
Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it
calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check".
For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory
section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the
"__tracepoint_check" section if it is used.
Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is
executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is
discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This
program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check
section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the
__tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name
is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and
a warning is printed.
Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in
modules.

Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their
"trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined
tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are
architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should
either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the
architectures they are for.
This tool could be updated to process modules in the future.
I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead
of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations
and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so.
To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1
Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build,
the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when
tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this
isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings
for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this
commit for those warnings.

CONFIG_KLP_BUILD kernels until the final pre-link archive (e.g.,

Delayed objtool is generally preferred anyway, and is already standard

- Implement arm64 build time sorting of the mcount location table
When gcc is used to build arm64, the mcount_loc section is all zeros in
the vmlinux elf file. The addresses are stored in the Elf_Rela location.
To sort at build time, an array is allocated and the addresses are added
to it via the content of the mcount_loc section as well as he Elf_Rela
data. After sorting, the information is put back into the Elf_Rela which
now has the section sorted.
- Make sorting of mcount location table for arm64 work with clang as well
When clang is used, the mcount_loc section contains the addresses, unlike
the gcc build. An array is still created and the sorting works for both
methods.
- Remove weak functions from the mcount_loc section
Have the sorttable code pass in the data of functions defined via nm -S
which shows the functions as well as their sizes. Using this information
the sorttable code can determine if a function in the mcount_loc section
was weak and overridden. If the function is not found, it is set to be
zero. On boot, when the mcount_loc section is read and the ftrace table is
created, if the address in the mcount_loc is not in the kernel core text
then it is removed and not added to the ftrace_filter_functions (the
functions that can be attached by ftrace callbacks).
- Update and fix the reporting of how much data is used for ftrace functions
On boot, a report of how many pages were used by the ftrace table as well
as how they were grouped (the table holds a list of sections that are
groups of pages that were able to be allocated). The removing of the weak
functions required the accounting to be updated.

Commit 5cc1247204 ("kbuild: add CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP expert option")
mentioned that "the .map file can be rather large (several MB), and
that's a waste of space when one isn't interested in these things."
If that is the case, generating map files for the intermediate
tmp_vmlinux* files is also a waste of space. It is unlikely that
anyone would be interested in the .tmp_vmlinux*.map files.
This commit stops passing the -Map= option when linking the .tmp_vmlinux*
intermediates.
I also hard-coded the file name 'vmlinux.map' instead of ${output}.map
because a later commit will introduce vmlinux.unstripped but I want to
keep the current name of the map file.

When a function is annotated as "weak" and is overridden, the code is not
removed. If it is traced, the fentry/mcount location in the weak function
will be referenced by the "__mcount_loc" section. This will then be added
to the available_filter_functions list. Since only the address of the
functions are listed, to find the name to show, a search of kallsyms is
used.
Since kallsyms will return the function by simply finding the function
that the address is after but before the next function, an address of a
weak function will show up as the function before it. This is because
kallsyms does not save names of weak functions. This has caused issues in
the past, as now the traced weak function will be listed in
available_filter_functions with the name of the function before it.
At best, this will cause the previous function's name to be listed twice.
At worse, if the previous function was marked notrace, it will now show up
as a function that can be traced. Note that it only shows up that it can
be traced but will not be if enabled, which causes confusion.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220412094923.0abe90955e5db486b7bca279@kernel.org/
The commit b39181f7c6 ("ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid
adding weak function") was a workaround to this by checking the function
address before printing its name. If the address was too far from the
function given by the name then instead of printing the name it would
print: __ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset>
The real issue is that these invalid addresses are listed in the ftrace
table look up which available_filter_functions is derived from. A place
holder must be listed in that file because set_ftrace_filter may take a
series of indexes into that file instead of names to be able to do O(1)
lookups to enable filtering (many tools use this method).
Even if kallsyms saved the size of the function, it does not remove the
need of having these place holders. The real solution is to not add a weak
function into the ftrace table in the first place.
To solve this, the sorttable.c code that sorts the mcount regions during
the build is modified to take a "nm -S vmlinux" input, sort it, and any
function listed in the mcount_loc section that is not within a boundary of
the function list given by nm is considered a weak function and is zeroed
out.
Note, this does not mean they will remain zero when booting as KASLR
will still shift those addresses. To handle this, the entries in the
mcount_loc section will be ignored if they are zero or match the
kaslr_offset() value.

Some architectures embed boot DTBs in vmlinux. A potential issue for
these architectures is a race condition during parallel builds because
Kbuild descends into arch/*/boot/dts/ twice.
One build thread is initiated by the 'dtbs' target, which is a
prerequisite of the 'all' target in the top-level Makefile:
ifdef CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
all: dtbs
endif
For architectures that support the built-in boot dtb, arch/*/boot/dts/
is visited also during the ordinary directory traversal in order to
build obj-y objects that wrap DTBs.
Since these build threads are unaware of each other, they can run
simultaneously during parallel builds.
This commit introduces a generic build rule to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux
to support embedded boot DTBs in a race-free way. Architectures that
want to use this rule need to select CONFIG_GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB.
After the migration, Makefiles under arch/*/boot/dts/ will be visited
only once to build only *.dtb files.
This change also aims to unify the CONFIG options used for built-in DTBs
support. Currently, different architectures use different CONFIG options
for the same purposes.
With this commit, the CONFIG options will be unified as follows:
- CONFIG_GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB
This enables the generic rule for built-in boot DTBs. This will be
renamed to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB after all architectures migrate to the
generic rule.
- CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME
This specifies the path to the embedded DTB.
(relative to arch/*/boot/dts/)
- CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_ALL
If this is enabled, all DTB files compiled under arch/*/boot/dts/ are
embedded into vmlinux. Only used by MIPS.

On powerpc, we would like to be able to make a pass on vmlinux.o and
generate a new object file to be linked into vmlinux. Add a generic pass
in Makefile.vmlinux that architectures can use for this purpose.
Architectures need to select CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_PRE_LINK_VMLINUX and must
provide arch/<arch>/tools/Makefile with .arch.vmlinux.o target, which
will be invoked prior to the final vmlinux link step.

Merge tag 'bpf-next-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next
Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
- Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
corresponding support in LLVM.
It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.
- Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.
When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.
- Improvements and fixes for sched-ext:
- Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
- Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
- Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
jumps in variable length encoding
- BPF_LSM related:
- Introduce few VFS kfuncs and consolidate them in
fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
- Enforce correct range of return values from certain LSM hooks
- Disallow attaching to other LSM hooks
- Prerequisite work for upcoming Qdisc in BPF:
- Allow kptrs in program provided structs
- Support for gen_epilogue in verifier_ops
- Important fixes:
- Fix uprobe multi pid filter check
- Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers
- Track equal scalars history on per-instruction level
- Fix tailcall hierarchy on x86 and arm64
- Fix signed division overflow to prevent INT_MIN/-1 trap on x86
- Fix get kernel stack in BPF progs attached to tracepoint:syscall
- Selftests:
- Add uprobe bench/stress tool
- Generate file dependencies to drastically improve re-build time
- Match JIT-ed and BPF asm with __xlated/__jited keywords
- Convert older tests to test_progs framework
- Add support for RISC-V

When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 is selected, pahole 1.21+ is required to enable

When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 or DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT is selected,
DEBUG_INFO_BTF can be enabled without pahole installed, but a build error
will occur in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
BTF: .tmp_vmlinux1: pahole (pahole) is not available
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
We did not guard DEBUG_INFO_BTF by PAHOLE_VERSION when previously
discussed [1].
However, commit 613fe16923 ("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION")
added CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION after all. Now several CONFIG options, as
well as the combination of DEBUG_INFO_BTF and DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5, are
guarded by PAHOLE_VERSION.
The remaining compile-time check in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now appears
to be an awkward inconsistency.
This commit adopts Nathan's original work.

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y requires one additional link step.
(.tmp_vmlinux.btf)
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y requires two additional link steps.
(.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 and .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2)
Enabling both requires three additional link steps.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, the current build
process is as follows:
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux.btf # temporary vmlinux for BTF
BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 1
NM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2 # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
NM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
LD vmlinux # final vmlinux
This is redundant because the BTF generation and the kallsyms step 1 can
be performed against the same temporary vmlinux.
When both CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and CONFIG_KALLSYMS are enabled, we can
reduce the number of link steps by one.
This commit changes the build process as follows:
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1 # temporary vmlinux for BTF and kallsyms step 1

This reimplements commit 951bcae6c5 ("kallsyms: Avoid weak references

As an alternative solution, this commit prepends one more kallsyms step.
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S # added
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o # added
LD .tmp_vmlinux.btf
BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o

NM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
LD vmlinux
Step 0 takes /dev/null as input, and generates .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o,
which has a valid kallsyms format with the empty symbol list, and can be
linked to vmlinux. Since it is really small, the added compile-time cost
is negligible.

In commit b18b047002 ("kbuild: change scripts/mksysmap into sed
script"), the mksysmap script was transformed into a sed script,
made directly executable with "#!/bin/sed -f". Apparently, the path to
sed is different on NixOS.
The shebang can't use the env command, otherwise the "sed -f" command
would be treated as a single argument. This can be solved with the -S
flag, but that is a GNU extension. Explicitly use sed instead of relying
on the executable shebang to fix NixOS builds without breaking build
environments using Busybox.

The resulting vmlinux is correct, but it always requires an additional
linking step.
The symbols produced by kallsyms are excluded from kallsyms itself
because they were previously missing in step 1. With those symbols
excluded, the symbol lists matched between step 1 and step 2,
eliminating the need for step 3. Now, this has a negative effect.
Since 951bcae6c5, the PROVIDE() directives provide the fallback
definitions, which are not trimmed from the sysbol list in step 1
because ${kallsymso_prev} is empty at this point.
In step 2, ${kallsymso_prev} is set, and the kallsyms_* symbols are
trimmed from the symbol list.
Due to the table size difference between step 1 and step 2 (the former
is larger due to the presence of kallsyms_*), step 3 is triggered.
Now that the kallsyms_* symbols are always linked, let's stop omitting
them from kallsyms. This avoids unnecessary step 3.

LLVM appends various suffixes for local functions and variables, suffixes
observed:
- foo.llvm.[0-9a-f]+
- foo.[0-9a-f]+
Therefore, when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, kallsyms_lookup_name() needs to
truncate the suffix of the symbol name before comparing the local function
or variable name.
Old implementation code:
- if (strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0)
- return kallsyms_sym_address(i);
- if (cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf) && strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0)
- return kallsyms_sym_address(i);
The preceding process is traversed by address from low to high. That is,
for those with the same name after the suffix is removed, the one with
the smallest address is returned first. Therefore, when sorting in the
tool, if the raw names are the same, they should be sorted by address in
ascending order.
ASCII[.] = 2e
ASCII[0-9] = 30,39
ASCII[A-Z] = 41,5a
ASCII[_] = 5f
ASCII[a-z] = 61,7a
According to the preceding ASCII code values, the following sorting result
is strictly followed.
---------------------------------
| main-key | sub-key |
|---------------------------------|
| | addr_lowest |
| <name> | ... |
| <name>.<suffix> | ... |
| | addr_highest |
|---------------------------------|
| <name>?<others> | | //? is [_A-Za-z0-9]

When include/linux/export-internal.h is updated, .vmlinux.export.o
must be rebuilt, but it does not happen because its rule is hidden
behind scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
Move it out of the shell script, so that Make can see the dependency
between vmlinux and .vmlinux.export.o.
Move the vmlinux rule to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux.

Do not build modules.builtin(.modinfo) as a side-effect of vmlinux.
There are no good reason to rebuild them just because any of vmlinux's
prerequistes (vmlinux.lds, .vmlinux.export.c, etc.) has been updated.

scripts/mksysmap internally runs ${NM} (dropping some symbols).
When CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, mksysmap creates .tmp_System.map, but it is
almost the same as the output from the ${NM} invocation in kallsyms().
It is true scripts/mksysmap drops some symbols, but scripts/kallsyms.c
ignores more anyway.
Keep the mksysmap output as *.syms, and reuse it for kallsyms and
'cmp -s'. It saves one ${NM} invocation.

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.
This commit gets rid of the latter.
Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.
With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.
There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.
$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Currently, modpost is executed twice; first for vmlinux, second
for modules.
This commit merges them.
Current build flow
==================
1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
2) link vmlinux.o
3) modpost for vmlinux
4) link vmlinux
5) modpost for modules
6) link modules (*.ko)
The build steps 1) through 6) are serialized, that is, modules are
built after vmlinux. You do not get benefits of parallel builds when
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is being run.
New build flow
==============
1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
2) link vmlinux.o
3) modpost for vmlinux and modules
4a) link vmlinux
4b) link modules (*.ko)
In the new build flow, modpost is invoked just once.
vmlinux and modules are built in parallel. One exception is
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, where modules depend on vmlinux.

It is used only when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y. It should be guarded

Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.
When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.
However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.
To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:
[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
include/generated/compile.h
include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.
[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
from init/version.c
init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
timestamp.

scripts/Makefile.build and scripts/link-vmlinux.sh have similar setups
for the objtool arguments.
It was difficult to factor out them because all the vmlinux build rules
were written in a shell script. It is somewhat tedious to touch the two
files every time a new objtool option is supported.
To reduce the code duplication, move the objtool for vmlinux.o into
scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o. Then, move the common macros to Makefile.lib
so they are shared between Makefile.build and Makefile.vmlinux_o.
