commit a0d1c951 upstream. As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy. Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an environment variable. Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the integrated assembler, I think we can make it default. We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean flag that switches both target and host tools: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494 https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43 Some items discussed, but not adopted: - LLVM_DIR When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful. CC = $(LLVM_DIR)clang LD = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld ... However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do this. - LLVM_SUFFIX Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with naming conventions that use the version as a suffix. CC = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX) LD = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX) ... will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc., but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

commit 7e20e47c upstream. The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better fit for this purpose. AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1, breaking the backward compatibility. Suggested-by:

commit aa824e0c upstream. As commit 5ef87263 ("kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from documents") noted, we rarely use $(AS) directly in the kernel build. Now that the only/last user of $(AS) in drivers/net/wan/Makefile was converted to $(CC), $(AS) is no longer used in the build process. You can still pass in AS=clang, which is just a switch to turn on the LLVM integrated assembler. Signed-off-by:

commit eefb8c12 upstream. Introduce a new READELF variable to top-level Makefile, so the name of readelf binary can be specified. Before this change the name of the binary was hardcoded to "$(CROSS_COMPILE)readelf" which might not be present for every toolchain. This allows to build with LLVM Object Reader by using make parameter READELF=llvm-readelf. Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/771 Signed-off-by:

commit ca9b31f6 upstream. When CROSS_COMPILE is set (e.g. aarch64-linux-gnu-), if $(CROSS_COMPILE)elfedit is found at /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-elfedit, GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR will be set to /usr/bin/. --prefix= will be set to /usr/bin/ and Clang as of 11 will search for both $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu-$needle and $(prefix)$needle. GCC searchs for $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$version/$needle, $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle and $(prefix)$needle. In practice, $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle rarely contains executables. To better model how GCC's -B/--prefix takes in effect in practice, newer Clang (since https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/3452a0d8c17f7166f479706b293caf6ac76ffd90 ) only searches for $(prefix)$needle. Currently it will find /usr/bin/as instead of /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-as. Set --prefix= to $(GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(notdir $(CROSS_COMPILE)) (/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-) so that newer Clang can find the appropriate cross compiling GNU as (when -no-integrated-as is in effect).

commit 4b50c8c4 upstream. This code does not work as stated in the comment. $(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) is always empty because it is expanded before include/config/auto.conf is included. Hence, 'make modules' with CONFIG_MODVERSION=y cannot record the version CRCs. This has been broken since 2003, commit ("kbuild: Enable modules to be build using the "make dir/" syntax").

[ Upstream commit b5154bf6 ] 'make dtbs_check' checks the shecma in addition to building *.dtb files, in other words, 'make dtbs_check' is a super-set of 'make dtbs'. So, you do not have to do 'make dtbs dtbs_check', but I want to keep the build system as robust as possible in any use. Currently, 'dtbs' and 'dtbs_check' are independent of each other. In parallel building, two threads descend into arch/*/boot/dts/, one for dtbs and the other for dtbs_check, then end up with building the same DTB simultaneously. This commit fixes the concurrency issue. Otherwise, I see build errors like follows: $ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig $ make -j16 ARCH=arm64 DT_SCHEMA_FILES=Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/psci.yaml dtbs dtbs_check <snip> DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sdm845-cheza-r2.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mn-evk.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/zte/zx296718-pcbox.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/altera/socfpga_stratix10_socdk.dt.yaml DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-gxl-s905d-p230.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/xilinx/zynqmp-zc1254-revA.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-pine-h64.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-gru-scarlet-inx.dtb DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb CHECK arch/arm64/boot/dts/altera/socfpga_stratix10_socdk.dt.yaml fixdep: error opening file: arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/.sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2.dtb.d: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.lib:296: arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2.dtb] Error 2 make[2]: *** Deleting file 'arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2.dtb' make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

commit adc71920 upstream. gcc-10 now warns about passing aliasing pointers to functions that take restricted pointers. That's actually a great warning, and if we ever start using 'restrict' in the kernel, it might be quite useful. But right now we don't, and it turns out that the only thing this warns about is an idiom where we have declared a few functions to be "printf-like" (which seems to make gcc pick up the restricted pointer thing), and then we print to the same buffer that we also use as an input. And people do that as an odd concatenation pattern, with code like this: #define sysfs_show_gen_prop(buffer, fmt, ...) \ snprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, "%s"fmt, buffer, __VA_ARGS__) where we have 'buffer' as both the destination of the final result, and as the initial argument. Yes, it's a bit questionable. And outside of the kernel, people do have standard declarations like int snprintf( char *restrict buffer, size_t bufsz, const char *restrict format, ... ); where that output buffer is marked as a restrict pointer that cannot alias with any other arguments. But in the context of the kernel, that 'use snprintf() to concatenate to the end result' does work, and the pattern shows up in multiple places. And we have not marked our own version of snprintf() as taking restrict pointers, so the warning is incorrect for now, and gcc picks it up on its own. If we do start using 'restrict' in the kernel (and it might be a good idea if people find places where it matters), we'll need to figure out how to avoid this issue for snprintf and friends. But in the meantime, this warning is not useful. Signed-off-by:

commit 5a76021c upstream. This is the final array bounds warning removal for gcc-10 for now. Again, the warning is good, and we should re-enable all these warnings when we have converted all the legacy array declaration cases to flexible arrays. But in the meantime, it's just noise. Signed-off-by:

commit 44720996 upstream. This is another fine warning, related to the 'zero-length-bounds' one, but hitting the same historical code in the kernel. Because C didn't historically support flexible array members, we have code that instead uses a one-sized array, the same way we have cases of zero-sized arrays. The one-sized arrays come from either not wanting to use the gcc zero-sized array extension, or from a slight convenience-feature, where particularly for strings, the size of the structure now includes the allocation for the final NUL character. So with a "char name[1];" at the end of a structure, you can do things like v = my_malloc(sizeof(struct vendor) + strlen(name)); and avoid the "+1" for the terminator. Yes, the modern way to do that is with a flexible array, and using 'offsetof()' instead of 'sizeof()', and adding the "+1" by hand. That also technically gets the size "more correct" in that it avoids any alignment (and thus padding) issues, but this is another long-term cleanup thing that will not happen for 5.7. So disable the warning for now, even though it's potentially quite useful. Having a slew of warnings that then hide more urgent new issues is not an improvement. Signed-off-by:

commit 5c45de21 upstream. This is a fine warning, but we still have a number of zero-length arrays in the kernel that come from the traditional gcc extension. Yes, they are getting converted to flexible arrays, but in the meantime the gcc-10 warning about zero-length bounds is very verbose, and is hiding other issues. I missed one actual build failure because it was hidden among hundreds of lines of warning. Thankfully I caught it on the second go before pushing things out, but it convinced me that I really need to disable the new warnings for now. We'll hopefully be all done with our conversion to flexible arrays in the not too distant future, and we can then re-enable this warning. Signed-off-by:

commit 78a5255f upstream. We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though. Signed-off-by:
