[PATCH v3 0/5] fix debug info for asm and DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT

[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")

Do so requires a fixup for as-option, which seems to be failing when
used in scripts/Makefile.debug.

Also includes a fix for DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT while I'm here.  Dmitrii
reports that this has been broken since gcc-11+ & clang-12+. I'm
guessing no one uses this .config option...since no one else has
reported it being broken yet...

Changes from v2 -> v3:
* Pick up Nathan's Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags.
* Reword commit message 1/5 and 2/5 as per Nathan.
* Add Masahiro's Suggested-by tag where relevant.
* Use -x assembler-with-cpp -Werror in as-option and as-instr as per Masahiro.
* Fix AMDGPU compiler version check as per Nathan.
* Drop cc-min-version, as per Masahiro.
* Replace patch 4 with a variant of Masahiro's suggestion.
* Reword commit message 4/5.

Changes from v1 -> v2:
* 5 patches now, rather than 3.
* Split change to arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile off of first patch,
  as per Masahiro.
* Introduce compiler specific macros, as per Bill, and eradicate
  cc-ifversion while I'm at it.
* Update commit message of final patch to refer to 866ced950bcd.
