Commit Message

Masahiro Yamada Aug. 23, 2023, 12:08 p.m. UTC
Revert the following two commits:

 - 7273ad2b08f8 ("kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y")
 - 7f2084fa55e6 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably")

Now, lib-y is back to static library again, and the link order is
consistent w/wo CONFIG_MODULES.

Since commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by
modpost"), .vmlinux.export.c contains references to exported symbols.
If a symbol in a lib-y object is exported, that object is always linked
even without any explicit user in vmlinux.

The build error that prompted 7273ad2b08f8 from [1] appears to return
with this patch, for example:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1 O=build mrproper virtconfig all
...
ERROR: modpost: "__memcat_p" [drivers/hwtracing/stm/stm_core.ko] undefined!
...

I just recalled that presumably ARM code must be fixed beforehand.

$(mmu-y) is added to lib-y, but they cannot go into a static library.

One thing I forgot to note with this is this occurs when targeting arm,
arm64, hexagon, i386, powerpc, s390, and x86_64 with various in-tree
configurations (I can provide a list if necessary).

shot in the dark here, but does this help? (Nathan indicates it does,
at least for `ARCH=arm64 virtconfig`)

Masahiro,
I don't fully understand "when to use obj-y vs lib-y" in a kernel
Makefile.  I've read Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst and I still
don't get it.  Is this answered elsewhere in the docs? Can you explain
it to me?  Do we need to update the docs?

No. it is not a solution.

We will end up with a whack-a-mole game
because this kind of issue (EXPORT_SYMBOL from lib-y)
happens in general.

The original intention (that existed before I became the Kbuild maintainer) was:

 obj-y     linked to vmlinux unconditionally

 lib-y  :  the compiled object goes into a static library. Hence,
conditionally linked.
           (If no symbol in lib-y object is referenced, it is not linked at all)





If ARCH supports CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION,
it is more optimal.


With lib-y, objects are conditionally linked.

With CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION,
symbols are conditionally linked.





One solution could be to delete lib-y entirely.

Then wrt. memcat_p, it sounds like there should be a Kconfig for that
that drivers such as drivers/hwtracing/stm/stm_core.ko can express a
dependency on. Yeah?
