Subject: [PATCH v6 02/10] kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS
Date:   Fri, 13 May 2022 20:39:22 +0900
Message-Id: <20220513113930.10488-3-masahiroy@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20220513113930.10488-1-masahiroy@kernel.org>

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.

Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.

It is time to get rid of this complexity.

Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.

Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.

Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.

(no changes since v5)

Changes in v5:
  - Fix the build error when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y (reported by Nathan)
  - Clean up arch/m68k/include/asm/export.h (Nick)
  - Keep gen_symversions (and will be removed by a later patch)

Changes in v4:
  - Rename .vmlinux-symver.c to .vmlinux.export.c
    because I notice this approach is useful for further cleanups,
    not only for modversioning but also for overall EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Changes in v3:
  - New patch
