kbuild: Abort make on install failures

2024-07-20T04:34:54+00:00

Setting '-e' flag tells shells to exit with error exit code immediately
after any of commands fails, and causes make(1) to regard recipes as
failed.

Before this, make will still continue to succeed even after the
installation failed, for example, for insufficient permission or
directory does not exist.

nios2: convert to generic syscall table

2024-07-10T12:23:38+00:00

The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.

nios2 has one extra system call that gets added to scripts/syscall.tbl.

The time32, stat64, and rlimit entries in the syscall_abis_32
line are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when
arch/nios2 got added but are no longer enabled by default for new
architectures.

Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

clone3: drop __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 macro

2024-07-10T12:23:38+00:00

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.

Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.

Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

arch: make execmem setup available regardless of CONFIG_MODULES

2024-05-14T07:31:44+00:00

execmem does not depend on modules, on the contrary modules use
execmem.

To make execmem available when CONFIG_MODULES=n, for instance for
kprobes, split execmem_params initialization out from
arch/*/kernel/module.c and compile it when CONFIG_EXECMEM=y

mm/execmem, arch: convert simple overrides of module_alloc to execmem

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address
range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space.

Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for
address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided
by architectures.

The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement
execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the
execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather
from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem.

The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range()
with the parameters defined by the architectures.  If an architecture does
not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to
module_alloc().

nios2: define virtual address space for modules

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

nios2 uses kmalloc() to implement module_alloc() because CALL26/PCREL26
cannot reach all of vmalloc address space.

Define module space as 32MiB below the kernel base and switch nios2 to
use vmalloc for module allocations.

kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory

2024-05-09T19:34:52+00:00

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

nios2: Only use built-in devicetree blob if configured to do so

2024-04-03T19:35:53+00:00

Starting with commit 7b937cc243e5 ("of: Create of_root if no dtb provided
by firmware"), attempts to boot nios2 images with an external devicetree
blob result in a crash.

Kernel panic - not syncing: early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch:
	Failed to allocate 72 bytes align=0x40

For nios2, a built-in devicetree blob always overrides devicetree blobs
provided by ROMMON/BIOS. This includes the new dummy devicetree blob.
Result is that the dummy devicetree blob is used even if an external
devicetree blob is provided. Since the dummy devicetree blob does not
include any memory information, memory allocations fail, resulting in
the crash.

To fix the problem, only use the built-in devicetree blob if
CONFIG_NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE_BOOL is enabled.
