scripts/recordmcount.pl: Remove check_objcopy() and $can_use_local

2021-08-04T21:49:26Z

When building ARCH=riscv allmodconfig with llvm-objcopy, the objcopy version warning from this script appears: WARNING: could not find objcopy version or version is less than 2.17. Local function references are disabled. The check_objcopy() function in scripts/recordmcount.pl is set up to parse GNU objcopy's version string, not llvm-objcopy's, which triggers the warning. Commit 799c43415442 ("kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs") made binutils 2.20 mandatory and commit ba64beb17493 ("kbuild: check the minimum assembler version in Kconfig") enforces this at configuration time so just remove check_objcopy() and $can_use_local instead, assuming --globalize-symbol is always available. llvm-objcopy has supported --globalize-symbol since LLVM 7.0.0 in 2018 and the minimum version for building the kernel with LLVM is 10.0.1 so there is no issue introduced: Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5be798dae30d5f9414b01f76ff807edbc881aa Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210802210307.3202472-1-nathan@kernel.org Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

kbuild: replace LANG=C with LC_ALL=C

2021-05-01T15:43:35Z

LANG gives a weak default to each LC_* in case it is not explicitly defined. LC_ALL, if set, overrides all other LC_* variables. LANG < LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, ... < LC_ALL This is why documentation such as [1] suggests to set LC_ALL in build scripts to get the deterministic result. LANG=C is not strong enough to override LC_* that may be set by end users.

riscv: Workaround mcount name prior to clang-13

2021-04-26T15:25:01Z

Prior to clang 13.0.0, the RISC-V name for the mcount symbol was "mcount", which differs from the GCC version of "_mcount", which results in the following errors: riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_level': main.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_start': main.c:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_finish': main.c:(.text+0x92): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `.LBB32_28': main.c:(.text+0x30c): undefined reference to `mcount' riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `free_initmem': main.c:(.text+0x54c): undefined reference to `mcount' This has been corrected in https://reviews.llvm.org/D98881 but the minimum supported clang version is 10.0.1. To avoid build errors and to gain a working function tracer, adjust the name of the mcount symbol for older versions of clang in mount.S and recordmcount.pl.

scripts/recordmcount.pl: Fix RISC-V regex for clang

2021-04-26T15:25:00Z

Clang can generate R_RISCV_CALL_PLT relocations to _mcount: $ llvm-objdump -dr build/riscv/init/main.o | rg mcount 000000000000000e: R_RISCV_CALL_PLT _mcount 000000000000004e: R_RISCV_CALL_PLT _mcount After this, the __start_mcount_loc section is properly generated and function tracing still works.

scripts/recordmcount.pl: Make vim and emacs indent the same

2021-03-22T21:51:16Z

By default, emacs indents Perl files with 4 spaces, but will use tabs where 8 spaces are used. Add a vim command of softtabstop=4, to make vim behave the same. This should remove the issue of developers using vim having causing different indentation. "John (Warthog9) Hawley" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

scripts/recordmcount.pl: Make indent spacing consistent

2021-03-22T21:50:42Z

Emacs by default will have perl files have 4 space indents, where 8 spaces are represented with a single tab. There are some places in recordmcount.pl that has 8 spaces where a tab should be used. Replace them to make the file consistent. No functional changes. Cc: "John (Warthog9) Hawley" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

s390/ftrace: assume -mhotpatch or -mrecord-mcount always available

2020-11-20T18:19:11Z

Currently the kernel minimal compiler requirement is gcc 4.9 or clang 10.0.1. * gcc -mhotpatch option is supported since 4.8. * A combination of -pg -mrecord-mcount -mnop-mcount -mfentry flags is supported since gcc 9 and since clang 10. Drop support for old -pg function prologues. Which leaves binary compatible -mhotpatch / -mnop-mcount -mfentry prologues in a form: brcl 0,0 Which are also do not require initial nop optimization / conversion and presence of _mcount symbol.
