In order to merge vdso32 and vdso64 build in following patch, rework Makefile is order to add -32 suffix to VDSO32 object files. Also change sigtramp.S to sigtramp32.S as VDSO64 sigtramp.S is too different to be squashed into VDSO32 sigtramp.S at the first place. gen_vdso_offsets.sh also becomes gen_vdso32_offsets.sh Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/0c421b704a57b228e75a891512568339c53667ad.1642782130.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu
2021-01-30powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of vgettimeofday.oMasahiro Yamada1-4/+1
vgettimeofday.o is unnecessarily rebuilt. Adding it to 'targets' is not enough to fix the issue. Kbuild is correctly rebuilding it because the command line is changed. PowerPC builds each vdso directory twice; first in vdso_prepare to generate vdso{32,64}-offsets.h, second as part of the ordinary build process to embed vdso{32,64}.so.dbg into the kernel. The problem shows up when CONFIG_PPC_WERROR=y due to the following line in arch/powerpc/Kbuild: subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_PPC_WERROR) := -Werror In the preparation stage, Kbuild directly visits the vdso directories, hence it does not inherit subdir-ccflags-y. In the second descend, Kbuild adds -Werror, which results in the command line flipping with/without -Werror. It implies a potential danger; if a more critical flag that would impact the resulted vdso, the offsets recorded in the headers might be different from real offsets in the embedded vdso images. Removing the unneeded second descend solves the problem.

2020-12-21powerpc/vdso: Don't pass 64-bit ABI cflags to 32-bit VDSOMichael Ellerman1-1/+1
When building the 32-bit VDSO, we are building 32-bit code as part of a 64-bit kernel build. That requires us to tweak the cflags to trick the compiler into building 32-bit code for us. The main way we do that is by passing -m32, but there are other options that affect code generation and ABI selection. In particular when building vgettimeofday.c, we end up passing -mcall-aixdesc because it's in KBUILD_CFLAGS, which causes the compiler to generate function descriptors, and dot symbols, eg: $ nm arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/vgettimeofday.o 000005d0 T .__c_kernel_clock_getres 00000024 D __c_kernel_clock_getres ... We get away with that at the moment because we also use the DOTSYM macro, and that is also incorrectly prepending a '.' in 32-bit VDSO code due to a separate bug. But we shouldn't be generating function descriptors for this file, there's no 32-bit ABI that includes function descriptors, so the resulting object file is some frankenstein and it's surprising that it even links. So filter out all the ABI-related options we add to CFLAGS for 64-bit builds, so that they're not used when building 32-bit code. With that we only see regular text symbols: $ nm arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/vgettimeofday.o michael@alpine1-p1 000005d0 T __c_kernel_clock_getres 00000000 T __c_kernel_clock_gettime 00000200 T __c_kernel_clock_gettime64 00000410 T __c_kernel_gettimeofday 00000650 T __c_kernel_time Fixes: ab037dd87a2f ("powerpc/vdso: Switch VDSO to generic C implementation.")

Add R_PPC_REL24 relocations to the list of relocations we do NOT support in the VDSO. These are generated in some cases and we do not support relocating them at runtime, so if they appear then the VDSO will not work at runtime, therefore it's preferable to break the build if we see them.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it takes to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them). In some contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if every DSO has a GNU hash section, then libc can avoid calculating SysV hashes at all.

Make it possible to enable GCOV code coverage measurement on powerpc. Lightly tested on 64-bit, seems to work as expected. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-10-03[POWERPC] powerpc vDSO: install unstripped copies on diskRoland McGrath1-3/+17
This keeps an unstripped copy of the vDSO images built before they are stripped and embedded in the kernel. The unstripped copies get installed in $(MODLIB)/vdso/ by "make install". These files can be useful when they contain source-level debugging information.

2006-07-31[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath1-1/+2
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+40
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
