kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS

2026-02-26T18:50:19+00:00

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

hexagon: vmlinux.lds.S: handle attributes section

2024-03-26T18:07:23+00:00

After the linked LLVM change, the build fails with
CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN_LEVEL="error", which happens with allmodconfig:

  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(init/main.o):(.hexagon.attributes) is being placed in '.hexagon.attributes'

Handle the attributes section in a similar manner as arm and riscv by
adding it after the primary ELF_DETAILS grouping in vmlinux.lds.S, which
fixes the error.

hexagon: use common DISCARDS macro

2021-07-08T18:48:20+00:00

ld.lld warns that the '.modinfo' section is not currently handled:

ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(workqueue.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(printk/printk.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(irq/spurious.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(rcu/update.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'

The '.modinfo' section was added in commit 898490c010b5 ("moduleparam:
Save information about built-in modules in separate file") to the DISCARDS
macro but Hexagon has never used that macro.  The unification of DISCARDS
happened in commit 023bf6f1b8bf ("linker script: unify usage of discard
definition") in 2009, prior to Hexagon being added in 2011.

Switch Hexagon over to the DISCARDS macro so that anything that is
expected to be discarded gets discarded.

hexagon: handle {,SOFT}IRQENTRY_TEXT in linker script

2021-07-08T18:48:20+00:00

Patch series "hexagon: Fix build error with CONFIG_STACKDEPOT and select CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN".

This series fixes an error with ARCH=hexagon that was pointed out by the
patch "mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects".

The first patch fixes that error by handling the '.irqentry.text' and
'.softirqentry.text' sections.

The second patch switches Hexagon over to the common DISCARDS macro, which
should have been done when Hexagon was merged into the tree to match
commit 023bf6f1b8bf ("linker script: unify usage of discard definition").

The third patch selects CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN so that something
like this does not happen again.

This patch (of 3):

Patch "mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects" in -mm
selects CONFIG_STACKDEPOT when CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT is selected and
CONFIG_STACKDEPOT requires IRQENTRY_TEXT and SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT to be
handled after commit 505a0ef15f96 ("kasan: stackdepot: move
filter_irq_stacks() to stackdepot.c") due to the use of the
__{,soft}irqentry_text_{start,end} section symbols.  If those sections are
not handled, the build is broken.

$ make ARCH=hexagon CROSS_COMPILE=hexagon-linux- LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig all
...
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __irqentry_text_start
>>> referenced by stackdepot.c
>>>               stackdepot.o:(filter_irq_stacks) in archive lib/built-in.a

...

Add these sections to the Hexagon linker script so the build continues to
work.  ld.lld's orphan section warning would have caught this prior to the
-mm commit mentioned above:

ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(softirq.o):(.softirqentry.text) is being placed in '.softirqentry.text'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(softirq.o):(.softirqentry.text) is being placed in '.softirqentry.text'

2020-09-01T07:50:35+00:00

The .comment section doesn't belong in STABS_DEBUG. Split it out into a
new macro named ELF_DETAILS. This will gain other non-debug sections
that need to be accounted for when linking with --orphan-handling=warn.
