[PATCH v2 4/5] Makefile.debug: re-enable debug info for .S files

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

 



Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:

commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")

In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in

commit a66049e2cf0e ("Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice")

This patch does a few things:
1. Add -g to KBUILD_AFLAGS. This will instruct the compiler to instruct
   the assembler to emit debug info. But this can cause an issue for
   folks using a newer compiler but older assembler, because the
   implicit default DWARF version changed from v4 to v5 in gcc-11 and
   clang-14.
2. If the user is using CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT, use a
   version check to explicitly set -Wa,-gdwarf-<version> for the
   assembler. There's another problem with this; GAS only gained support
   for explicit DWARF versions 3-5 in the 2.36 GNU binutils release.
3. Wrap -Wa,-gdwarf-<version> in as-option call to test whether the
   assembler supports that explicit DWARF version.
