To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs'
to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them
because there is no dependency.
There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of
another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when
Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile).
The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host
programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need
to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'.
This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand.
The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds
bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast,
programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y'
so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles.
userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

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.

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

When there is not enough space on your storage device, the build will
fail with 'No space left on device' error message.
The reason is obvious from the message, so you will free up some disk
space, then you will resume the build.
However, sometimes you may still see a mysterious error message:
unterminated call to function 'wildcard': missing ')'.
If you run out of the disk space, fixdep may end up with generating
incomplete .*.cmd files.
For example, if the disk-full error occurs while fixdep is running
print_dep(), the .*.cmd might be truncated like this:
$(wildcard include/config/
When you run 'make' next time, this broken .*.cmd will be included,
then Make will terminate parsing since it is a wrong syntax.
Once this happens, you need to run 'make clean' or delete the broken
.*.cmd file manually.
Even if you do not see any error message, the .*.cmd files after any
error could be potentially incomplete, and unreliable. You may miss
the re-compilation due to missing header dependency.
If printf() cannot output the string for disk shortage or whatever
reason, it returns a negative value, but currently fixdep does not
check it at all. Consequently, fixdep *successfully* generates a
broken .*.cmd file. Make never notices that since fixdep exits with 0,
which means success.
Given the intended usage of fixdep, it must respect the return value
of not only malloc(), but also printf() and putchar().
This seems a long-standing issue since the introduction of fixdep.
In old days, Kbuild tried to provide an extra safety by letting fixdep
output to a temporary file and renaming it after everything is done:
scripts/basic/fixdep $(depfile) $@ '$(make-cmd)' > $(dot-target).tmp;\
rm -f $(depfile); \
mv -f $(dot-target).tmp $(dot-target).cmd)
It was no help to avoid the current issue; fixdep successfully created
a truncated tmp file, which would be renamed to a .*.cmd file.
This problem should be fixed by propagating the error status to the
build system because:
[1] Since commit 9c2af1c737 ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special
target"), Make will delete the target automatically on any failure
in the recipe.
[2] Since commit 392885ee82 ("kbuild: let fixdep directly write to
.*.cmd files"), .*.cmd file is included only when the corresponding
target already exists.

My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include
and scripts/Makefile.build.
Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick;
possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace
EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is
post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing
is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly.
I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy
symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those
dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then
appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a
new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy
symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker
script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules.
A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will
be much faster.

kconfig.h was excluded from consideration by fixdep by
6a5be57f0f (fixdep: fix extraneous dependencies) to avoid some false
positive hits
(1) include/config/.h
(2) include/config/h.h
(3) include/config/foo.h
(1) occurred because kconfig.h contains the string CONFIG_ in a
comment. However, since dee81e9886 (fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search), we
have a check that the part after CONFIG_ is non-empty, so this does not
happen anymore (and CONFIG_ appears by itself elsewhere, so that check
is worthwhile).
(2) comes from the include guard, __LINUX_KCONFIG_H. But with the
previous patch, we no longer match that either.
That leaves (3), which amounts to one [1] false dependency (aka stat() call
done by make), which I think we can live with:
We've already had one case [2] where the lack of include/linux/kconfig.h in
the .o.cmd file caused a missing rebuild, and while I originally thought
we should just put kconfig.h in the dependency list without parsing it
for the CONFIG_ pattern, we actually do have some real CONFIG_ symbols
mentioned in it, and one can imagine some translation unit that just
does '#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN' but doesn't through some other header
actually depend on CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN - so changing the target
endianness could end up rebuilding the world, minus that small
TU. Quoting Linus,
... when missing dependencies cause a missed re-compile, the resulting
bugs can be _really_ subtle.

parse_dep_file() has too much indentation, and puts the code far to

strrcmp() computes 'slen' by itself, but the caller already knows the
length of the token, so 'slen' can be passed via function argument.
With this, we can swap the order of strrcmp() and "*p = \0;"
Also, strrcmp() is an ambiguous function name. Flip the logic and
rename it to str_ends_with().
I added a new helper is_ignored_file() - this returns 1 if the token

Now, do_config_files() and print_deps() are almost the same. Only
the difference is the parser function called (parse_config_file vs
parse_dep_file).
We can reduce the code duplication by factoring out the common code
into read_file() - this function allocates a buffer and loads a file
to it. It returns the pointer to the allocated buffer. (As before,
it bails out by exit(2) for any error.) The caller must free the
buffer when done.
Having empty source files is possible; fixdep should simply skip them.
I deleted the "st.st_size == 0" check, so read_file() allocates 1-byte
buffer for an empty file. strstr() will immediately return NULL, and
this is what we expect.
On the other hand, an empty dep_file should be treated as an error.
In this case, parse_dep_file() will error out with "no targets found"
and it is a correct error message.

Commit dee81e9886 ("fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search") changed how to
read files in which CONFIG options are searched. It used malloc()
and read() instead of mmap() because it needed to zero-terminate the
buffer in order to use strstr(). print_deps() was left untouched
since there was no reason to change it.
Now, I have two motivations to change it in the same way.
- do_config_file() and print_deps() do quite similar things; they
open a file, load it onto memory, and pass it to a parser function.
If we use malloc() and read() for print_deps() too, we can factor
out the common code. (I will do this in the next commit.)
- parse_dep_file() copies each token to a temporary buffer because
it needs to zero-terminate it to be passed to printf(). It is not
possible to modify the buffer directly because it is mmap'ed with
O_RDONLY. If we load the file content into a malloc'ed buffer, we
can insert '\0' after each token, and save memcpy(). (I will do
this in the commit after next.)

do_config_file() should exit with an error code on internal run-time
errors, and not return if it fails as then the error in do_config_file()
would go unnoticed in the current code and allow the build to continue.
The exit with error code will make the build fail in those very
exceptional cases. If this occurs, this actually indicates a deeper
problem in the execution of the kernel build process.
Now, in these error cases, we do not explicitly free memory and close
the file handlers in do_config_file(), as this is covered by exit().
This issue in the fixdep script was introduced with its initial
implementation back in 2002 by the original author Kai Germaschewski with
this commit 04bd72170653 ("kbuild: Make dependencies at compile time")
in the linux history git tree, i.e.,
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git.
This issue was identified during the review of a previous patch that
intended to address a memory leak detected by a static analysis tool.

One small utility called "fixdep" consistently manages to sneak into

The choke point is this clever code:
for (; m < end; m++) {
if (*m == INT_CONF) { p = (char *) m ; goto conf; }
if (*m == INT_ONFI) { p = (char *) m-1; goto conf; }
if (*m == INT_NFIG) { p = (char *) m-2; goto conf; }
if (*m == INT_FIG_) { p = (char *) m-3; goto conf; }

where bin2c generate <name>_size to be 'int' so in a 64-bit host where
sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(int) this type mismatch will always yield the
wrong value for big-endian architectures while for little-endian it will
be wrong if the object laid in memory directly after

Like with kconfig options, we now have the ability to compile in and
out individual EXPORT_SYMBOL() declarations based on the content of
include/generated/autoksyms.h. However we don't want the entire
world to be rebuilt whenever that file is touched.
Let's apply the same build dependency trick used for CONFIG_* symbols
where the time stamp of empty files whose paths matching those symbols
is used to trigger fine grained rebuilds. In our case the key is the
symbol name passed to EXPORT_SYMBOL().
However, unlike config options, we cannot just use fixdep to parse
the source code for EXPORT_SYMBOL(ksym) because several variants exist
and parsing them all in a separate tool, and keeping it in synch, is
not trivially maintainable. Furthermore, there are variants such as
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_user_read_config_##size);
that are instanciated via a macro for which we can't easily determine
the actual exported symbol name(s) short of actually running the
preprocessor on them.
Storing the symbol name string in a special ELF section doesn't work
for targets that output assembly or preprocessed source.
So the best way is really to leverage the preprocessor by having it
output actual symbol names anchored by a special sequence that can be
easily filtered out. Then the list of symbols is simply fed to fixdep
to be merged with the other dependencies.
That implies the preprocessor is executed twice for each source file.
A previous attempt relied on a warning pragma for each EXPORT_SYMBOL()
instance that was filtered apart from stderr by the build system with
a sed script during the actual compilation pass. Unfortunately the
preprocessor/compiler diagnostic output isn't stable between versions
and this solution, although more efficient, was deemed too fragile.
Because of the lowercasing performed by fixdep, there might be name
collisions triggering spurious rebuilds for similar symbols. But this
shouldn't be a big issue in practice. (This is the case for CONFIG_*
symbols and I didn't want to be different here, whatever the original
reason for doing so.)
To avoid needless build overhead, the exported symbol name gathering is
performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan

Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This
should help with two things.
- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.
- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
bypass any policy one wants to.
This patch (of 15):

The current use-case for fixdep is: a source file is run through a single
processing step, which creates a single dependency file as a side-effect,
which fixdep transforms into the file used by the kernel build process.
In order to transparently run the C pre-processor on device-tree files,
we wish to run both gcc -E and dtc on a source file in a single rule.
This generates two dependency files, which must be transformed together
into the file used by the kernel build process. This change modifies
fixdep so it can process the concatenation of multiple separate input
dependency files, and produce a correct unified output.
The code changes have the slight benefit of transforming the loop in
parse_dep_file() into more of a lexer/tokenizer, with the loop body being
more of a parser. Previously, some of this logic was mixed together
before the loop. I also added some comments, which I hope are useful.
Benchmarking shows that on a cross-compiled ARM tegra_defconfig build,
there is less than 0.5 seconds speed decrease with this change, on top
of a build time of ~2m24s. This is probably within the noise.

The introduction of include/linux/kconfig.h created 3 extraneous
dependencies:
include/config/.h
include/config/h.h
include/config/foo.h
Fix this by excluding kconfig.h from fixdep calculations.

fixdep: Do not record dependency on the source file itself
changed the format of the *.cmd files without realizing that it is also
used by modpost. Put the path to the source file to the file back, in a
special variable, so that modpost sees all source files when calculating
srcversion for modules.

The dependency is already expressed by the Makefiles, storing it in the
.cmd file breaks build if a .c file is replaced by .S or vice versa,
because the .cmd file contains
foo/bar.o: foo/bar.c ...
foo/bar.c ... :
so the foo/bar.c -> foo/bar.o rule triggers even if there is no
foo/bar.c anymore.

I noticed fixdep uses ~2% of cpu time in kernel build, in function
use_config()
fixdep spends a lot of cpu cycles in linear searches in its internal
string array. With about 400 stored strings per dep file, this begins to
be noticeable.
Convert fixdep to use a hash table.
