[PATCH 15/15] kbuild: compile test UAPI headers to ensure they are self-contained

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Multiple people have suggested compile-testing UAPI headers to ensure
they can be really included from user-space. "make headers_check" is
obviously not enough to catch bugs, and we often leak references to
kernel-space definition to user-space.

The most recent patch I know is David Howells' work:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10590203/

While I agree that we should do this, we must consider how it can be
integrated cleanly. That is why it has not been supported in the
mainline yet.

The idea that has been in my mind is to compile every UAPI header
so that it can be included without relying on any include order.

Please note usr/include/ is built with a completely different set of
compiler flags. The header search path is set to $(objtree)/usr/include
since UAPI headers should not include unexported headers.

We use -std=gnu89 for the kernel space since the kernel code highly
depends on GNU extensions. On the other hand, UAPI headers should be
written in somewhat strict C, so they are compiled with -std=c89. This
will catch C++ style comments, the keyword 'inline', etc. ('__inline__'
should be used instead).

There is additional compiler requirement for building under usr/include.
because many of UAPI headers include <stdlib.h>, <sys/ioctl.h>,
<sys/time.h>, etc. directly or indirectly.

You can use kernel.org prebuilt toolchains for building the kernel
(https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/index.html)
but they do not provide <stdlib.h> etc.

If you want to compile test UAPI headers, you need to use full-featured
compilers, which are usually provided by distributions.

I added scripts/cc-system-headers.sh to check if necessary system
headers are available, which CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST depends on.

For now, a lot of headers need to be excluded because they cannot
be compiled standalone, but this is a good start point.
