[PATCH] s390/boot: Workaround current 'llvm-objdump -t -j ...' behavior

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

 



When building with OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump, there are a series of warnings
from the section comparisons that arch/s390/boot/Makefile performs
between vmlinux and arch/s390/boot/vmlinux:

  llvm-objdump: warning: section '.boot.preserved.data' mentioned in a -j/--section option, but not found in any input file
  llvm-objdump: warning: section '.boot.data' mentioned in a -j/--section option, but not found in any input file
  llvm-objdump: warning: section '.boot.preserved.data' mentioned in a -j/--section option, but not found in any input file
  llvm-objdump: warning: section '.boot.data' mentioned in a -j/--section option, but not found in any input file

The warning is a little misleading, as these sections do exist in the
input files. It is really pointing out that llvm-objdump does not match
GNU objdump's behavior of respecting '-j' / '--section' in combination
with '-t' / '--syms':

  $ s390x-linux-gnu-objdump -t -j .boot.data vmlinux.full

  vmlinux.full:     file format elf64-s390

  SYMBOL TABLE:
  0000000001951000 l     O .boot.data     0000000000003000 sclp_info_sccb
  00000000019550e0 l     O .boot.data     0000000000000001 sclp_info_sccb_valid
  00000000019550e2 g     O .boot.data     0000000000001000 early_command_line
  ...

  $ llvm-objdump -t -j .boot.data vmlinux.full

  vmlinux.full:   file format elf64-s390

  SYMBOL TABLE:
  0000000000100040 l     O .text  0000000000000010 dw_psw
  0000000000000000 l    df *ABS*  0000000000000000 main.c
  00000000001001b0 l     F .text  00000000000000c6 trace_event_raw_event_initcall_level
  0000000000100280 l     F .text  0000000000000100 perf_trace_initcall_level
  ...

It may be possible to change llvm-objdump's behavior to match GNU
objdump's behavior but the difficulty of that task has not yet been
explored. The combination of '$(OBJDUMP) -t -j' is not common in the
kernel tree on a whole, so workaround this tool difference by grepping
for the sections in the full symbol table output in a similar manner to
the sed invocation. This results in no visible change for GNU objdump
users while fixing the warnings for OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump, further
enabling use of LLVM=1 for ARCH=s390 with versions of LLVM that have
support for s390 in ld.lld and llvm-objcopy.

s390 llvm-objcopy support may be backported to LLVM 18.1.0 in time for
the final release.

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/82324

s390 ld.lld has already made it into release/18.x:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0a44c3792a6ff799df5f100670d7e19d1bc49f03

If the objcopy change makes 18.1.0 final, features + this change should
build cleanly with LLVM 18.1.0+ using LLVM=1 :)
