2018-06-14Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variablesLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler supported. That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support directly. HOWEVER. It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file, the sane stack protector configuration would look like CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes, it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would disable it in the new config, resulting in: CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing. The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users). This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes. The end result would generally look like this: CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler infrastructure, not the user selections.

2018-05-29Documentation: kconfig: document a new Kconfig macro languageMasahiro Yamada1-0/+242
Add a document for the macro language introduced to Kconfig. The motivation of this work is to move the compiler option tests to Kconfig from Makefile. A number of kernel features require the compiler support. Enabling such features blindly in Kconfig ends up with a lot of nasty build-time testing in Makefiles. If a chosen feature turns out unsupported by the compiler, what the build system can do is either to disable it (silently!) or to forcibly break the build, despite Kconfig has let the user to enable it. By moving the compiler capability tests to Kconfig, features unsupported by the compiler will be hidden automatically. This change was strongly prompted by Linus Torvalds. You can find his suggestions [1] [2] in ML. The original idea was to add a new attribute with 'option shell=...', but I found more generalized text expansion would make Kconfig more powerful and lovely. The basic ideas are from Make, but there are some differences.

2018-05-29kconfig: reference environment variables directly and remove 'option env='Masahiro Yamada1-8/+0
To get access to environment variables, Kconfig needs to define a symbol using "option env=" syntax. It is tedious to add a symbol entry for each environment variable given that we need to define much more such as 'CC', 'AS', 'srctree' etc. to evaluate the compiler capability in Kconfig. Adding '$' for symbol references is grammatically inconsistent. Looking at the code, the symbols prefixed with 'S' are expanded by: - conf_expand_value() This is used to expand 'arch/$ARCH/defconfig' and 'defconfig_list' - sym_expand_string_value() This is used to expand strings in 'source' and 'mainmenu' All of them are fixed values independent of user configuration. So, they can be changed into the direct expansion instead of symbols. This change makes the code much cleaner. The bounce symbols 'SRCARCH', 'ARCH', 'SUBARCH', 'KERNELVERSION' are gone. sym_init() hard-coding 'UNAME_RELEASE' is also gone. 'UNAME_RELEASE' should be replaced with an environment variable. ARCH_DEFCONFIG is a normal symbol, so it should be simply referenced without '$' prefix. The new syntax is addicted by Make. The variable reference needs parentheses, like $(FOO), but you can omit them for single-letter variables, like $F. Yet, in Makefiles, people tend to use the parenthetical form for consistency / clarification. At this moment, only the environment variable is supported, but I will extend the concept of 'variable' later on. The variables are expanded in the lexer so we can simplify the token handling on the parser side. For example, the following code works. [Example code] config MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST string default "My tools: CC=$(CC), AS=$(AS), CPP=$(CPP)" [Result] $ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config CONFIG_MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST="My tools: CC=gcc, AS=as, CPP=gcc -E" Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a historical misnomer. That commit removed it from help and docs since it is an internal interface. If so, it should be allowed to rename it to something more intuitive. 'syncconfig' is the one I came up with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize include/generated/autoconf.h and include/config/* with it. You should not manually invoke 'silentoldcofig'. Display warning if used in case existing scripts are doing wrong.

2018-03-26kbuild: remove internally used LDFLAGS_vmlinux from kbuild.txtMasahiro Yamada1-4/+0
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt lists variables used in Makefile whereas Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt describes user assignable parameters given via environments or the command line. The top Makefile and arch/*/Makefile accumulate proper linker flags to LDFLAGS_vmlinux. So, users can not override it from the command line. Generally, per-file options are not supposed to be user-assignable. Remove the misleading entry from kbuild.txt.

2018-01-06kconfig: fix relational operators for bool and tristate symbolsNicolas Pitre1-8/+15
Since commit 31847b67bec0 ("kconfig: allow use of relations other than (in)equality") it is possible to use relational operators in Kconfig statements. However, those operators give unexpected results when applied to bool/tristate values: (n < y) = y (correct) (m < y) = y (correct) (n < m) = n (wrong) This happens because relational operators process bool and tristate symbols as strings and m sorts before n. It makes little sense to do a lexicographical compare on bool and tristate values though. Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt states that expression can have a value of 'n', 'm' or 'y' (or 0, 1, 2 respectively for calculations). Let's make it so for relational comparisons with bool/tristate expressions as well and document them. If at least one symbol is an actual string then the lexicographical compare works just as before.

The thin archives build currently puts all lib.a and built-in.o files together and links them with --whole-archive. This works because thin archives can recursively refer to thin archives. However some architectures include libgcc.a, which may not be a thin archive, or it may not be constructed with the "P" option, in which case its contents do not get linked correctly. So don't pull .a libs into the root built-in.o archive. These libs should already have symbol tables and indexes built, so they can be direct linker inputs. Move them out of the --whole-archive option, which restore the conditional linking behaviour of lib.a to thin archives builds.

So, there is no more difference between generated-y and genhdr-y. We see two users of genhdr-y, arch/{arm,x86}/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild.

2016-11-16Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keywordNicolas Pitre1-0/+29
The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come with the "select" keyword. This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers. Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with: config DRIVER_A tristate config DRIVER_B tristate config DRIVER_C tristate config DRIVER_D tristate [...] config SUBSYSTEM_X tristate default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...] This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers. Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select" keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence this "imply" keyword. The above becomes: config DRIVER_A tristate imply SUBSYSTEM_X config DRIVER_B tristate imply SUBSYSTEM_X [...] config SUBSYSTEM_X tristate This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

2016-07-07kbuild, x86: Track generated headers with generated-yJames Hogan1-0/+14
Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories. Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen hypercalls. This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing these headers which are generated separately.

2015-07-06kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flagsMichal Marek1-0/+8
Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS variables.
