Distributions that want to maintain a stable kABI need the ability
to make ABI compatible changes to kernel without affecting symbol
versions, either because of LTS updates or backports.
With genksyms, developers would typically hide these changes from
version calculation with #ifndef __GENKSYMS__, which would result
in the symbol version not changing even though the actual type has
changed. When we process precompiled object files, this isn't an
option.
To support this use case, add a --stable command line flag that
gates kABI stability features that are not needed in mainline
kernels, but can be useful for distributions, and add support for
kABI rules, which can be used to restrict gendwarfksyms output.
The rules are specified as a set of null-terminated strings stored
in the .discard.gendwarfksyms.kabi_rules section. Each rule consists
of four strings as follows:
"version\0type\0target\0value"
The version string ensures the structure can be changed in a
backwards compatible way. The type string indicates the type of the
rule, and target and value strings contain rule-specific data.
Initially support two simple rules:
1. Declaration-only structures
A structure declaration can change into a full definition when
additional includes are pulled in to the TU, which changes the
versions of any symbol that references the struct. Add support
for defining declaration-only structs whose definition is not
expanded during versioning.
2. Ignored enum fields
It's possible to add new enum fields without changing the ABI,
but as the fields are included in symbol versioning, this would
change the versions. Add support for ignoring specific fields.
Add examples for using the rules under the examples/ directory.
