depmod: handle the case of /sbin/depmod without /sbin in PATH

2021-01-01T20:26:39+00:00

Commit 436e980e2ed5 ("kbuild: don't hardcode depmod path") stopped
hard-coding the path of depmod, but in the process caused trouble for
distributions that had that /sbin location, but didn't have it in the
PATH (generally because /sbin is limited to the super-user path).

Work around it for now by just adding /sbin to the end of PATH in the
depmod.sh script.

scripts: coccicheck: Correct usage of make coccicheck

2020-12-24T11:59:43+00:00

The command "make coccicheck C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" results in the
error:
        ./scripts/coccicheck: line 65: -1: shift count out of range

This happens because every time the C variable is specified,
the shell arguments need to be "shifted" in order to take only
the last argument, which is the C file to test. These shell arguments
mostly comprise flags that have been set in the Makefile. However,
when coccicheck is specified in the make command as a rule, the
number of shell arguments is zero, thus passing the invalid value -1
to the shift command, resulting in an error.

Modify coccicheck to print correct usage of make coccicheck so as to
avoid the error.

kasan, arm64: expand CONFIG_KASAN checks

2020-12-22T20:55:08+00:00

Some #ifdef CONFIG_KASAN checks are only relevant for software KASAN modes
(either related to shadow memory or compiler instrumentation).  Expand
those into CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC || CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS.

kconfig: fix return value of do_error_if()

2020-12-21T05:48:54+00:00

$(error-if,...) is expanded to an empty string. Currently, it relies on
eval_clause() returning xstrdup("") when all attempts for expansion fail,
but the correct implementation is to make do_error_if() return xstrdup("").

genksyms: Ignore module scoped _Static_assert()

2020-12-21T04:57:08+00:00

The C11 _Static_assert() keyword may be used at module scope, and we
need to teach genksyms about it to not abort with an error. We currently
have a growing number of static_assert() (but also direct usage of
_Static_assert()) users at module scope:

	git grep -E '^_Static_assert\(|^static_assert\(' | grep -v '^tools' | wc -l
	135

More recently, when enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS with CONFIG_KCSAN, we
observe a number of warnings:

	WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "<..all kcsan symbols..>" [vmlinux] [...]

When running a preprocessed source through 'genksyms -w' a number of
syntax errors point at usage of static_assert()s. In the case of
kernel/kcsan/encoding.h, new static_assert()s had been introduced which
used expressions that appear to cause genksyms to not even be able to
recover from the syntax error gracefully (as it appears was the case
previously).

Therefore, make genksyms ignore all _Static_assert() and the contained
expression. With the fix, usage of _Static_assert() no longer cause
"syntax error" all over the kernel, and the above modpost warnings for
KCSAN are gone, too.

modpost: turn static exports into error

2020-12-21T04:57:08+00:00

Using EXPORT_SYMBOL*() on static functions is fundamentally wrong.
Modpost currently reports that as a warning, but clearly this is not a
pattern we should allow, and all in-tree occurences should have been
fixed by now. So, promote the warn() message to error() to make sure
this never happens again.
