kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured

2017-08-09T15:57:42+00:00

The .data and .bss sections were modified in the generic linker script to pull in sections named .data., which are generated by gcc with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections options. The problem with this pattern is it can also match section names that Linux defines explicitly, e.g., .data.unlikely. This can cause Linux sections to get moved into the wrong place. The way to avoid this is to use ".." separators for explicit section names (the dot character is valid in a section name but not a C identifier). However currently there are sections which don't follow this rule, so for now just disable the wild card by default.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The new features of this release: - Added TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() which allows trace events that use sizeof() it the TP_printk() to be converted to the actual size such that trace-cmd and perf can parse them correctly. - Some rework of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() such that the above TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() could reuse the same code. - Recording of tgid (Thread Group ID). This is similar to how task COMMs are recorded (cached at sched_switch), where it is in a table and used on output of the trace and trace_pipe files. - Have ":mod:" be cached when written into set_ftrace_filter. Then the functions of the module will be traced at module load. - Some random clean ups and small fixes" * tag 'trace-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (26 commits) ftrace: Test for NULL iter->tr in regex for stack_trace_filter changes ftrace: Decrement count for dyn_ftrace_total_info for init functions ftrace: Unlock hash mutex on failed allocation in process_mod_list() tracing: Add support for display of tgid in trace output tracing: Add support for recording tgid of tasks ftrace: Decrement count for dyn_ftrace_total_info file ftrace: Remove unused function ftrace_arch_read_dyn_info() sh/ftrace: Remove only user of ftrace_arch_read_dyn_info() ftrace: Have cached module filters be an active filter ftrace: Implement cached modules tracing on module load ftrace: Have the cached module list show in set_ftrace_filter ftrace: Add :mod: caching infrastructure to trace_array tracing: Show address when function names are not found ftrace: Add missing comment for FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU tracing: Rename update the enum_map file tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() macros tracing: define TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() macro to map sizeof's to their values tracing: Rename enum_replace to eval_replace trace: rename enum_map functions trace: rename trace.c enum functions ...

trace: rename kernel enum section to eval

The kernel and its modules have sections containing the enum string to value conversions. Rename this section because we intend to store more than enums in it.

After discussing it, this feature is dropped as it is not considered adequate: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9639317/ There is no user of this macro yet, so there is no impact on the drivers.

powerpc: Link warning for orphan sections

2017-05-30T04:59:51+00:00

Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage such as 7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time. Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold: - .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections. - .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32 - We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG - DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted - A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.
