From 7b4537199a4a8480b8c3ba37a2d44765ce76cd9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Fri, 13 May 2022 20:39:22 +0900 Subject: kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.
