Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made the module versioning implementation
arch-agnostic; now all the version CRCs are generated by modpost as C
code whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S.
Doing similar for the entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL() makes
further cleanups possible.
This commit splits EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation into two stages.
When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() is converted into a
dummy symbol in the .discard.export_symbol section.
For example,
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);
will be expanded into the following assembly code:
.section .discard.export_symbol
__export_symbol.foo:
.asciz ""
.previous
.section .discard.export_symbol
__export_symbol_gpl.bar:
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE"
.previous
They are just markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the section name starts with ".discard.".
Then, modpost extracts all the information of EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.discard.export_symbol section, then generates C code:
KSYMTAB_ENTRY(foo, "", "");
KSYMTAB_ENTRY(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE");
KSYMTAB_ENTRY() is expanded to struct kernel_symbol that will be linked
to the vmlinux or a module.
With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S
files, providing the following benefits.
[1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files.
To export assembly code, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate file.
arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the old fashion.
Commit 22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation.
Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition
in *.S files. It was a nice improvement.
However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
for data objects on some architectures.
For example, commit e007c53397ac ("ia64: move exports to definitions")
moved EXPORT_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) to a .S file, but it resulted in
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL().
In the new approach, struct kernel_symbol is populated in C.
You can always use EXPORT_SYMBOL().
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated.
[2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h>
There are two similar header implementations:
include/linux/export.h for .c files
include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files
Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they
tend to diverge.
Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did
not support the namespace for *.S files.
This commit shifts the essential part to C. EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() is now
supported for .S files.
<asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of
<linux/export.h> for a while.
They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all
replaced.
[3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass (planned)
CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works by recursively traversing the directory
tree. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, the source
file is recompiled, making the EXPORT_SYMBOL() a no-op.
Linus did not like this slowness.
See:
- 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
- a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding")
We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB_ENTRY's
that are really referenced by modules.
Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@xxxxxxxxxxx/
Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain
reaction of trimming comes into play because:
- CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols
- CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux,
but not modules
If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but making the
directory traverse one-pass is presumably the right way to go.
