module: Add module name to modinfo
module: Pass struct load_info into symbol checks
The current test fails to warn about improper alignment with code like
foo->bar = func(arg1,
arg2);
because foo->bar is not a single identifier.
Convert the $Ident to $Lval which allows for multiple dereferences.

The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force
colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format
of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in
common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user
to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when
the output is a terminal. The default is "auto".
The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

Checkpatch warns of an incorrect commit reference style for any
hexadecimal number of 12 digits and more.
Numbers of 12 digits are not necessarily commit ids.
For an example provoking the problem see
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9170897/
Checkpatch should only warn if the number refers to an existing commit.

Fix the off-by-one in the suppression of lines in a statement block.
This means that for multiple line statements like
foo(bar,
baz,
qux);
$stat has been inspected first correctly for the entire statement,
and subsequently incorrectly just for
qux);

Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.
THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature
only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different
intermediate-artifact schemes.
Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has
various advantages:
- save disk space for builds
- speed-up building a little
- fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to
more flexibility for the final linking
- work better with dead code elimination we are planning
As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally
so that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect".
With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now.

Pull GCC plugin updates from Kees Cook:
"The big part is the randstruct plugin infrastructure.
This is the first of two expected pull requests for randstruct since
there are dependencies in other trees that would be easier to merge
once those have landed. Notably, the IPC allocation refactoring in
-mm, and many trivial merge conflicts across several trees when
applying the __randomize_layout annotation.
As a result, it seemed like I should send this now since it is
relatively self-contained, and once the rest of the trees have landed,
send the annotation patches. I'm expecting the final phase of
randstruct (automatic struct selection) will land for v4.14, but if
its other tree dependencies actually make it for v4.13, I can send
that merge request too.

kbuild runs "find" on each entry in CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE that is a
directory. The order of the file listing output by "find" matter for
build reproducability, hence this patch applies "sort" to get
deterministic results.
Without this patch, two different machines with identical initramfs
directory input may produce differing initramfs cpio archives (different
hash) due to the different order of the files within the archive.

The thin archives build currently puts all lib.a and built-in.o
files together and links them with --whole-archive.
This works because thin archives can recursively refer to thin
archives. However some architectures include libgcc.a, which may
not be a thin archive, or it may not be constructed with the "P"
option, in which case its contents do not get linked correctly.
So don't pull .a libs into the root built-in.o archive. These
libs should already have symbol tables and indexes built, so they
can be direct linker inputs. Move them out of the --whole-archive
option, which restore the conditional linking behaviour of lib.a
to thin archives builds.

The P option makes ar do full path name matching and can prevent ar
from discarding files with duplicate names in some cases of creating
thin archives from thin archives. The sh architecture in particular
loses some object files from its kernel/cpu/sh*/ directories without
this option.
This could be a bug in binutils ar, but the P option should not cause
any negative effects so it is safe to use to work around this with.

Close the --whole-archives option with --no-whole-archive. Some
architectures end up including additional .o and files multiple
times after this, and they get duplicate symbols when they are
brought under the --whole-archives option.
This matches more closely with the incremental final link.

90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.
For instance typical use is:
pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);
Which can be written now as:
pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);
'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.
More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.
Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl

cc-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_CPPFLAGS when it determines
whether an option is supported or not. This is fine for options used to
build the kernel itself, however some components like the x86 boot code
use a different set of flags.
Add the new macro __cc-option which is a more generic version of
cc-option with additional parameters. One parameter is the compiler
with which the check should be performed, the other the compiler options
to be used instead KBUILD_C*FLAGS.
Refactor cc-option and hostcc-option to use __cc-option and move
hostcc-option to scripts/Kbuild.include.

This randstruct plugin is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code
in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
The randstruct GCC plugin randomizes the layout of selected structures
at compile time, as a probabilistic defense against attacks that need to
know the layout of structures within the kernel. This is most useful for
"in-house" kernel builds where neither the randomization seed nor other
build artifacts are made available to an attacker. While less useful for
distribution kernels (where the randomization seed must be exposed for
third party kernel module builds), it still has some value there since now
all kernel builds would need to be tracked by an attacker.
In more performance sensitive scenarios, GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE
can be selected to make a best effort to restrict randomization to
cacheline-sized groups of elements, and will not randomize bitfields. This
comes at the cost of reduced randomization.
Two annotations are defined,__randomize_layout and __no_randomize_layout,
which respectively tell the plugin to either randomize or not to
randomize instances of the struct in question. Follow-on patches enable
the auto-detection logic for selecting structures for randomization
that contain only function pointers. It is disabled here to assist with
bisection.
Since any randomized structs must be initialized using designated
initializers, __randomize_layout includes the __designated_init annotation
even when the plugin is disabled so that all builds will require
the needed initialization. (With the plugin enabled, annotations for
automatically chosen structures are marked as well.)
The main differences between this implemenation and grsecurity are:
- disable automatic struct selection (to be enabled in follow-up patch)
- add designated_init attribute at runtime and for manual marking
- clarify debugging output to differentiate bad cast warnings
- add whitelisting infrastructure
- support gcc 7's DECL_ALIGN and DECL_MODE changes (Laura Abbott)
- raise minimum required GCC version to 4.7
Earlier versions of this patch series were ported by Michael Leibowitz.

As the comparison uses process substitution to pass files after
conversion to DTS format, the diff header doesn't show the real
filenames, but the names of the file descriptors used:
--- /dev/fd/63 2017-06-22 11:21:47.531637188 +0200
+++ /dev/fd/62 2017-06-22 11:21:47.531637188 +0200
This is especially annoying when comparing a bunch of DT files in a
loop, as the output doesn't show a clue about which files it refers to.
Fix this by explicitly passing the original file names to the diff
command using the --label option, giving e.g.:
--- arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-koelsch.dtb
+++ arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-porter.dtb

Originally, generated-y and genhdr-y had different meaning, like
follows:
- generated-y: generated headers (other than asm-generic wrappers)
- header-y : headers to be exported
- genhdr-y : generated headers to be exported (generated-y + header-y)
Since commit fcc8487d47 ("uapi: export all headers under uapi
directories"), headers under UAPI directories are all exported.
So, there is no more difference between generated-y and genhdr-y.
We see two users of genhdr-y, arch/{arm,x86}/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild.
They generate some headers in arch/{arm,x86}/include/generated/uapi/asm
directories, which are obviously exported.

checksyscalls.sh is run at every "make" run while building the kernel,
even if no files have changed. I looked at where we spend time in
a trivial empty rebuild and found checksyscalls.sh to be a source
of noticeable overhead, as it spawns a lot of child processes just
to call 'cat' copying from stdin to stdout, once for each of the
over 400 x86 syscalls.
Using a shell-builtin (echo) instead of the external command gives

There was a time when the expedited grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and
synchronize_sched_expedited()) used rather antisocial kernel
facilities like try_stop_cpus(). However, they have since been
housebroken to use only single-CPU IPIs, and typically cause less
disturbance than a scheduling-clock interrupt. Furthermore, this
disturbance can be eliminated entirely using NO_HZ_FULL on the
one hand or the rcupdate.rcu_normal boot parameter on the other.
This commit therefore removes checkpatch's complaints about use
of the expedited RCU primitives.

Accessing the mod structure (e.g. for mod->name) prior to having completed
check_modstruct_version() can result in writing garbage to the error logs
if the layout of the mod structure loaded from disk doesn't match the
running kernel's mod structure layout. This kind of mismatch will become
much more likely if a kernel is built with different randomization seed
for the struct layout randomization plugin.
Instead, add and use a new modinfo string for logging the module name.
