Subject: [PATCH 5.4 v2 0/6] Fix Build ID on arm64 if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y

Build ID is missing for arm64 with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y using ld >= 2.36
on 5.4, 5.10, and 5.15

Backport BuildID fixes.

I've build tested this on {x86_64, arm64, riscv, powerpc, s390, sh}.

# view Build ID
$ readelf -n vmlinux | grep "Build ID"

Changes for v2:
- rebase 6/6 c1c551bebf92 ("sh: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT") from upstream

Subject: [PATCH 5.4 v2 3/6] powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT

From: Michael Ellerman <[email protected]>

commit 4b9880dbf3bdba3a7c56445137c3d0e30aaa0a40 upstream.

The powerpc linker script explicitly includes .exit.text, because
otherwise the link fails due to references from __bug_table and
__ex_table. The code is freed (discarded) at runtime along with
.init.text and data.

That has worked in the past despite powerpc not defining
RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT because DISCARDS appears late in the powerpc linker
script (line 410), and the explicit inclusion of .exit.text
earlier (line 280) supersedes the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 136). With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier [1], causing
.exit.text to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build
errors:

'.exit.text' referenced in section '__bug_table' of crypto/algboss.o: defined in
discarded section '.exit.text' of crypto/algboss.o
'.exit.text' referenced in section '__ex_table' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o: defined in
discarded section '.exit.text' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o

Fix it by defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT, which causes the generic
DISCARDS macro to not include .exit.text at all.

Subject: [PATCH 5.4 v2 5/6] s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36

From: Masahiro Yamada <[email protected]>

commit a494398bde273143c2352dd373cad8211f7d94b2 upstream.

Nathan Chancellor reports that the s390 vmlinux fails to link with
GNU ld < 2.36 since commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID
for arm64 and riscv").

It happens for defconfig, or more specifically for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

$ s390x-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2
$ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- allnoconfig
$ ./scripts/config -e CONFIG_EXPOLINE
$ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- olddefconfig
$ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu-
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.s390_return_reg' of drivers/base/dd.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/base/dd.o
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2

arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S wants to keep EXIT_TEXT:

.exit.text : {
EXIT_TEXT
}

But, at the same time, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by DISCARD because
s390 does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

I still do not understand why the latter wins after 99cb0d917ffa,
but defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT seems correct because the comment
line in arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S says:

/*
* .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time,
* to deal with references from __bug_table
*/

Nathan also found that binutils commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output
sections in scripts") cured this issue, so we cannot reproduce it with
binutils 2.36+, but it is better to not rely on it.

Subject: [PATCH 5.4 v2 4/6] powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Don't discard .rela* for relocatable builds

From: Michael Ellerman <[email protected]>

commit 07b050f9290ee012a407a0f64151db902a1520f5 upstream.

Relocatable kernels must not discard relocations, they need to be
processed at runtime. As such they are included for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
builds in the powerpc linker script (line 340).

However they are also unconditionally discarded later in the
script (line 414). Previously that worked because the earlier inclusion
superseded the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 137). With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier, causing .rela* to
actually be discarded at link time, leading to build warnings and a
kernel that doesn't boot:

ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.init.rodata

Fix it by conditionally discarding .rela* only when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
is disabled.

Subject: [PATCH 5.4 v2 6/6] sh: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT

commit c1c551bebf928889e7a8fef7415b44f9a64975f4 upstream.

sh vmlinux fails to link with GNU ld < 2.40 (likely < 2.36) since
commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv").

This is similar to fixes for powerpc and s390:
commit 4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT").
commit a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error
with GNU ld < 2.36").

$ sh4-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2

$ make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu- microdev_defconfig
$ make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu-

make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2

arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S keeps EXIT_TEXT:

/*
* .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time, to deal with
* references from __bug_table
*/
.exit.text : AT(ADDR(.exit.text)) { EXIT_TEXT }

However, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by
DISCARD(include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h) because
sh does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

GNU ld 2.40 does not have this issue and builds fine.
This corresponds with Masahiro's comments in a494398bde27:
"Nathan [Chancellor] also found that binutils
commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output sections in scripts") cured this
issue, so we cannot reproduce it with binutils 2.36+, but it is better
to not rely on it."
