Expose kernel's BTF under the name vmlinux to be more uniform with using
kernel module names as file names in the future.

Make .BTF section allocated and expose its contents through sysfs.

/sys/kernel/btf directory is created to contain all the BTFs present
inside kernel. Currently there is only kernel's main BTF, represented as
/sys/kernel/btf/kernel file. Once kernel modules' BTFs are supported,
each module will expose its BTF as /sys/kernel/btf/<module-name> file.

Current approach relies on a few pieces coming together:
1. pahole is used to take almost final vmlinux image (modulo .BTF and
   kallsyms) and generate .BTF section by converting DWARF info into
   BTF. This section is not allocated and not mapped to any segment,
   though, so is not yet accessible from inside kernel at runtime.
2. objcopy dumps .BTF contents into binary file and subsequently
   convert binary file into linkable object file with automatically
   generated symbols _binary__btf_kernel_bin_start and
   _binary__btf_kernel_bin_end, pointing to start and end, respectively,
   of BTF raw data.
3. final vmlinux image is generated by linking this object file (and
   kallsyms, if necessary). sysfs_btf.c then creates
   /sys/kernel/btf/kernel file and exposes embedded BTF contents through
   it. This allows, e.g., libbpf and bpftool access BTF info at
   well-known location, without resorting to searching for vmlinux image
   on disk (location of which is not standardized and vmlinux image
   might not be even available in some scenarios, e.g., inside qemu
   during testing).

Alternative approach using .incbin assembler directive to embed BTF
contents directly was attempted but didn't work, because sysfs_proc.o is
not re-compiled during link-vmlinux.sh stage. This is required, though,
to update embedded BTF data (initially empty data is embedded, then
pahole generates BTF info and we need to regenerate sysfs_btf.o with
updated contents, but it's too late at that point).

If BTF couldn't be generated due to missing or too old pahole,
sysfs_btf.c handles that gracefully by detecting that
_binary__btf_kernel_bin_start (weak symbol) is 0 and not creating
/sys/kernel/btf at all.

v2->v3:
- added Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-btf (Greg K-H);
- created proper kobject (btf_kobj) for btf directory (Greg K-H);
- undo v2 change of reusing vmlinux, as it causes extra kallsyms pass
  due to initially missing  __binary__btf_kernel_bin_{start/end} symbols;

v1->v2:
- allow kallsyms stage to re-use vmlinux generated by gen_btf();

Since commit ff9b45c5 ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead
of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), a module is no longer built in the following
pattern:

  [Makefile]
  subdir-y := some-module

  [some-module/Makefile]
  obj-m := some-module.o

You cannot write Makefile this way in upstream because modules.order is
not correctly generated. subdir-y is used to descend to a sub-directory
that builds tools, device trees, etc.

For external modules, the modules order does not matter. So, the
Makefile above was known to work.

I believe the Makefile should be re-written as follows:

  [Makefile]
  obj-m := some-module/

  [some-module/Makefile]
  obj-m := some-module.o

However, people will have no idea if their Makefile suddenly stops
working. In fact, I received questions from multiple people.

Show a warning for a while if obj-m is specified in a Makefile visited
by subdir-y or subdir-m.

I touched the %/ rule to avoid false-positive warnings for the single
target.

Prior to this commit, starting nconfig, xconfig or gconfig, and saving
the .config file more than once caused data loss, where a .config file
that contained only comments would be written to disk starting from the
second save operation.

This bug manifests itself because the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag is never
cleared after the first call to conf_write, and subsequent calls to
conf_write then skip all of the configuration symbols due to the
SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag being set.

This commit resolves this issue by clearing the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag
from all symbols before conf_write returns.

If the particular version of clang a user has doesn't enable
-Werror=unknown-warning-option by default, even though it is the
default[1], then make sure to pass the option to the Kconfig cc-option
command so that testing options from Kconfig files works properly.
Otherwise, depending on the default values setup in the clang toolchain
we will silently assume options such as -Wmaybe-uninitialized are
supported by clang, when they really aren't.

A compilation issue only started happening for me once commit
589834b3 ("kbuild: Add -Werror=unknown-warning-option to
CLANG_FLAGS") was applied on top of commit b303c6df ("kbuild:
compute false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized cases in Kconfig"). This
leads kbuild to try and test for the existence of the
-Wmaybe-uninitialized flag with the cc-option command in
scripts/Kconfig.include, and it doesn't see an error returned from the
option test so it sets the config value to Y. Then the Makefile tries to
pass the unknown option on the command line and
-Werror=unknown-warning-option catches the invalid option and breaks the
build. Before commit 589834b3 ("kbuild: Add
-Werror=unknown-warning-option to CLANG_FLAGS") the build works fine,
but any cc-option test of a warning option in Kconfig files silently
evaluates to true, even if the warning option flag isn't supported on
clang.

Note: This doesn't change cc-option usages in Makefiles because those
use a different rule that includes KBUILD_CFLAGS by default (see the
__cc-option command in scripts/Kbuild.incluide). The KBUILD_CFLAGS
variable already has the -Werror=unknown-warning-option flag set. Thanks
to Doug for pointing out the different rule.

The current format of *.mod is like this:

  line 1: directory path to the .ko file
  line 2: a list of objects linked into this module
  line 3: unresolved symbols (only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y)

Now that *.mod and *.ko are created in the same directory, the line 1
provides no valuable information. It can be derived by replacing the
extension .mod with .ko. In fact, nobody uses the first line any more.

Cut down the first line.

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules,
but do not link final *.ko files; it is done in the modpost.

To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR)
for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the
necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into
directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so.

Later, commit 551559e1 ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added
modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules
with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of
*.mod files.

$(MODVERDIR) has a flat directory structure, that is, *.mod files
are named only with base names. This is based on the assumption that
the module name is unique across the tree. This assumption is really
fragile.

Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name
conflict:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991



In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same
$(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously.

Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence
commit 3a48a919 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names")
introduced a new checker script.

However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because
this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it
happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages.

To fix this issue completely, create *.mod with full directory path
so that two threads never attempt to write to the same file.

$(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed.

Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild
is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending.

I also killed cmd_secanalysis; scripts/mod/sumversion.c computes MD4 hash
for modules with MODULE_VERSION(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y,
it occurs not only in the modpost stage, but also during directory
descending, where sumversion.c may parse stale *.mod files. It would emit
'No such file or directory' warning when an object consisting a module is
renamed, or when a single-obj module is turned into a multi-obj module or
vice versa.

Removing the 'kernel/' prefix will make our life easier because we can
simply do 'cat modules.order' to get all built modules with full paths.

Currently, we parse the first line of '*.mod' files in $(MODVERDIR).
Since we have duplicated functionality here, I plan to remove MODVERDIR
entirely.

In fact, modules.order is generated also for external modules in a
broken format. It adds the 'kernel/' prefix to the absolute path of
the module, like this:

  kernel//path/to/your/external/module/foo.ko

This is fine for now since modules.order is not used for external
modules. However, I want to sanitize the format everywhere towards
the goal of removing MODVERDIR.

We cannot change the format of installed module.{order,builtin}.
So, 'make modules_install' will add the 'kernel/' prefix while copying
them to $(MODLIB)/.

Currently, $(objtree)/modules.order is touched in two places.

In the 'prepare0' rule, scripts/Makefile.build creates an empty
modules.order while processing 'obj=.'

In the 'modules' rule, the top-level Makefile overwrites it with
the correct list of modules.

While this might be a good side-effect that modules.order is made
empty every time (probably this is not intended functionality),
I personally do not like this behavior.

Create modules.order only when it is sensible to do so.

This avoids creating the following pointless files:

  scripts/basic/modules.order
  scripts/dtc/modules.order
  scripts/gcc-plugins/modules.order
  scripts/genksyms/modules.order
  scripts/mod/modules.order
  scripts/modules.order
  scripts/selinux/genheaders/modules.order
  scripts/selinux/mdp/modules.order
  scripts/selinux/modules.order

Going forward, $(objtree)/modules.order lists the modules that
was built in the last successful build.
