Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way
whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S.
For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the
entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL().
The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages.
When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() is converted into a
dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section.
For example,
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);
will be encoded into the following assembly code:
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol__foo:
.asciz ""
.balign 4
.long foo - .
.previous
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_gpl_bar:
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE"
.balign 4
.long bar - .
.previous
They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script.
Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.export_symbol section, and generates the final C code:
KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", "");
KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE");
KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) 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
a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file.
arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner.
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.
In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not),
and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly.
There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL:
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S)
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S)
They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c
KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", "");
KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", "");
The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as
KSYMTAB_FUNC().
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 implementation part to C, which supports
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() 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 with #include <linux/export.h>.
[3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit)
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.
We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries
that are really used by modules.

Changes in v7:
- Fix sparse warning reported by 0day bot
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kbuild/[email protected]/
Changes in v6:
- Fix build error on UML
Changes in v5:
- Fix build error on ARM
Changes in v4:
- Version 3 did not work if a same name symbol exists in a different compilation unit
Fix it.
Changes in v3:
- Move struct kernel_symbol to kernel/module/internal.h
Changes in v2:
- Use KSYMTAB_FUNC and KSYMTAB_DATA for functions and data, respectively
This distinction is needed for ia64.

I hope this will work for all arches, but
unfortunately, the 0day bot reported breakages
on xtensa.
I will restore the code in v6.

Thanks for the comprehensive build tests.
If you compare the build log, you will see
what has happened.
In Linus' tree (without this patch),
MODPOST Module.symvers
WARNING: modpost: "saved_config" [vmlinux] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: EXPORT_SYMBOL used for init/exit symbol:
page_is_ram (section: .init.text)
In linux-next (with this patch),
MODPOST Module.symvers
WARNING: modpost: "saved_config" [vmlinux] is COMMON symbol
ERROR: modpost: vmlinux: page_is_ram: EXPORT_SYMBOL used for init
symbol. Remove __init or EXPORT_SYMBOL.
The change is obvious - I just turned the combination
of __init and EXPORT_SYMBOL into an error.
But, it seemed too early to do this.
I will hold it back as a warning for now, as follows:

Adding __attribute__((common)) to a variable declaration, the
generated assembler will contain a .comm assembler directive.
https://godbolt.org/z/6jvoaGs8M
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Comm.html
>>> .comm declares a common symbol named symbol. When linking, a common symbol in one object file may be merged with a defined or common symbol of the same name in another object file.
When I see this, I think some kind of ODR tricks are afoot. C doesn't
have ODR; C++ does, but this attribute allows for ODR-like linker
merging where the linker discards duplicates because "they ought to be
the same."
IIRC, I think C++ template instantiations are emitted with common
linkage. LLVM IR has a linkage type corresponding to this that I
initially didn't understand, because without this attribute, I don't
think that linkage type is ever emitted for C code.
Indeed, for alpha, we can see the same symbol marked common in arch/alpha/:
arch/alpha/kernel/core_tsunami.c:36:} saved_config[2] __attribute__((common));
arch/alpha/kernel/sys_sio.c:43:} saved_config __attribute((common));
arch/alpha/kernel/core_cia.c:577:} saved_config __attribute((common));
arch/alpha/kernel/core_titan.c:36:} saved_config[4] __attribute__((common));
All of these have different sizes, so according to the GAS manual,
this line comes into play:
>>> If ld sees multiple common symbols with the same name, and they do not all have the same size, it will allocate space using the largest size.
This kind of smells like some overcomplicating code to save like 30B
of static memory. Fixing this requires careful use of enums. For
arch/alpha/ not sure such a rework is worth it, given the imminent
demise of the architecture I sense looming on the horizon.
