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.

There is code that reports static EXPORT_SYMBOL a few lines below.
It is not a good idea to bail out here.
I renamed sec_mismatch_fatal to sec_mismatch_warn_only (with logical
inversion) to match to CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY.

We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail
out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only
prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:").
In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate
the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as
check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general
because we should display as many error messages as possible in a
single run of modpost.
What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first
error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix
all errors.
But, unfortunately, people tend to do:
"This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()."
One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error
code to the main() function.
This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically
makes modpost return the error code.
I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal().
Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so.
For example:
- Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed)
- The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing
- Something really odd has happened
For general coding errors, please use error().

The log function names, warn(), merror(), fatal() are inconsistent.
Commit 2a11665945d5 ("kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings
in modpost") intentionally chose merror() to avoid the conflict with
the library function error(). See man page of error(3).
But, we are already causing the conflict with warn() because it is also
a library function. See man page of warn(3). err() would be a problem
for the same reason.
The common technique to work around name conflicts is to use macros.
For example:
/* in a header */
#define error(fmt, ...) __error(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define warn(fmt, ...) __warn(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
/* function definition */
void __error(const char *fmt, ...)
{
<our implementation>
}
void __warn(const char *fmt, ...)
{
<our implementation>
}
In this way, we can implement our own warn() and error(), still we can
include <error.h> and <err.h> with no problem.
And, commit 93c95e526a4e ("modpost: rework and consolidate logging
interface") already did that.
Since the log functions are all macros, we can use error() without
causing "conflicting types" errors.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.
Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.
Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

strsep() is neither standard C nor POSIX and used outside
the kernel code here. Using it here requires that the
build host supports it out of the box which is e.g.
not true for a Darwin build host and using a cross-compiler.
This leads to:
scripts/mod/modpost.c:145:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strsep' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
return strsep(stringp, "\n");
^
and a segfault when running MODPOST.
See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7219504
So let's replace this by strchr() instead of using strsep().
It does not hurt kernel size or speed since this code is run
on the build host.

The meaning of 'skip' is obscure since it does not explain
"what to skip".
mod->skip is set when it is vmlinux or the module info came from
a dump file.
So, mod->skip is equivalent to (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump).
For the check in write_namespace_deps_files(), mod->is_vmlinux is
unneeded because the -d option is not passed in the first pass of
modpost.

Previously, there were two cases where mod->is_dot_o is unset:
[1] the executable 'vmlinux' in the second pass of modpost
[2] modules loaded by read_dump()
I think [1] was intended usage to distinguish 'vmlinux.o' and 'vmlinux'.
Now that modpost does not parse the executable 'vmlinux', this case
does not happen.
[2] is obscure, maybe a bug. Module.symver stores module paths without
extension. So, none of modules loaded by read_dump() has the .o suffix,
and new_module() unsets ->is_dot_o. Anyway, it is not a big deal because
handle_symbol() is not called for the case.
To sum up, all the parsed ELF files are .o files.
mod->is_dot_o is unneeded.

grab_file() mmaps a file, but it is not so efficient here because
get_next_line() copies every line to the temporary buffer anyway.
read_text_file() and get_line() are simpler. get_line() exploits the
library function strchr().
Going forward, the missing *.symvers or *.cmd is a fatal error.
This should not happen because scripts/Makefile.modpost guards the
-i option files with $(wildcard $(input-symdump)).

modpost uses grab_file() to open a file, but it is not suitable for
a text file because the mmap'ed file is not terminated by null byte.
Actually, I see some issues for the use of grab_file().
The new helper, read_text_file() loads the whole file content into a
malloc'ed buffer, and appends a null byte. Then, get_line() reads
each line.
To handle text files, I intend to replace as follows:
grab_file() -> read_text_file()
get_new_line() -> get_line()

check_exports() does not print warnings about unresolved symbols if
vmlinux is missing because there would be too many.
This situation happens when you do 'make modules' from the clean
tree, or compile external modules against a kernel tree that has
not been completely built.
It is dangerous to not check unresolved symbols because you might be
building useless modules. At least it should be warned.

I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them.

The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols
loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building
external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols
to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump
file or ELF object.
This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols
loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but
not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe
this makes more sense.

reloc_location() returning a wrong pointer for ET_EXEC object type.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected
against instrumentation for various reasons:
- Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86.
- With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it.
Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling
that no unsafe functions are invoked.
Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark
functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check
later.
Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end()
These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls
into regular instrumentable text section as safe.
The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is
enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging
the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a
kernel compiled with this option.

Pull timekeeping and timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core:
- Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the
difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by
restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build.
This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate
headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which
is necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from
the kernel headers and the vDSO specific files.
- Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained
control over the compiled in code, further reducing architecture
specific storage and preparing for adopting the generic library by
PPC.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the exit related code in posix CPU
timers.
- Small cleanups and enhancements here and there
Drivers:
- The obligatory new drivers: Ingenic JZ47xx and X1000 TCU support
- Correct the clock rate of PIT64b global clock
- setup_irq() cleanup
- Preparation for PWM and suspend support for the TI DM timer
- Expand the fttmr010 driver to support ast2600 systems
- The usual small fixes, enhancements and cleanups all over the
place"

In the process of creating the source file of a module modpost injects a
set of includes that are not required if the compilation unit is
statically built into the kernel.
The order of inclusion of the headers can cause redefinition problems
(e.g.):
In file included from include/linux/elf.h:5:0,
from include/linux/module.h:18,
from crypto/arc4.mod.c:2:
#define ELF_OSABI ELFOSABI_LINUX
In file included from include/linux/elfnote.h:62:0,
from include/linux/build-salt.h:4,
from crypto/arc4.mod.c:1:
include/uapi/linux/elf.h:363:0: note: this is the location of
the previous definition
#define ELF_OSABI ELFOSABI_NONE
The issue was exposed during the development of the series [1].

(uint16_t) st_shndx is limited to 65535(i.e. SHN_XINDEX) so sym_get_data() gets
wrong section index by st_shndx if requested symbol contains extended section
index that is more than 65535. In this case, we need to get proper section index
by .symtab_shndx section.
Module.symvers generated by building kernel with "-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
shows the issue.

In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to
move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E
option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol
versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc,
symbol, module).
In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that
suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I
suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are
no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export
type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbcedf44), which is over a decade ago now.
Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the
original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order
to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export
type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the
field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have
a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next
delimiter or end of line will follow.

MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n
Currently when CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n, modpost
only warns when a module is missing namespace imports. Under this
configuration, such a module cannot be loaded into the kernel anyway, as
the module loader would reject it. We might as well return a build
error when a module is missing namespace imports under
CONFIG_MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n, so that the build
warning does not go ignored/unnoticed.

Rework modpost's logging interface by consolidating merror(), warn(), and
fatal() to use a single function, modpost_log(). Introduce different
logging levels (WARN, ERROR, FATAL) as well. The purpose of this cleanup is
to reduce code duplication when deciding whether or not to warn or error
out based on a condition.

When 'exported twice' is warned, let sym_add_exported() return without
updating the symbol info. This respects the previous export, which is
ordered first in modules.order
This simplifies the code too.

Now that there is no overwrap between symbols from ELF files and
ones from Module.symvers.
So, the 'exported twice' warning should be reported irrespective
of where the symbol in question came from.
The exceptional case is external module; in some cases, we build
an external module to provide a different version/variant of the
corresponding in-kernel module, overriding the same set of exported
symbols.
You can see this use-case in upstream; tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko
replaces drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko in order to link it against mocked
version of core kernel symbols.
So, let's relax the 'exported twice' warning when building external
modules. The multiple export from external modules is warned only
when the previous one is from vmlinux or itself.
With this refactoring, the ugly preloading goes away.

It is complicated to add mocked-up symbols for pre-handling CRC.
Handle CRC after all the export symbols in the relevant module
are registered.
Call handle_modversion() after the handle_symbol() iteration.
In some cases, I see atand-alone __crc_* without __ksymtab_*.
For example, ARCH=arm allyesconfig produces __crc_ccitt_veneer and
__crc_itu_t_veneer. I guess they come from crc_ccitt, crc_itu_t,
respectively. Since __*_veneer are auto-generated symbols, just
ignore them.

This function handles not only modversions, but also unresolved
symbols, export symbols, etc.
Rename it to a more proper function name.
While I was here, I also added the 'const' qualifier to *sym.

Currently, namespace_from_kstrtabns() relies on the fact that
namespace strings are recorded in the __ksymtab_strings section.
Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does
not need to hard-code the section name.
Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is
a more portable way to get the namespace string.
Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete
the info->ksymtab_strings .
While I was here, I added more 'const' qualifiers to pointers.
