The conditional, define(__KERNEL__), was added by commit f235541699
("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").
It was needed at that time to avoid the build error of modpost
with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.
Since commit b2c5cdcfd4 ("modpost: remove symbol prefix support"),
modpost no longer includes linux/export.h, thus the define(__KERNEL__)
is unneeded.

GCC and Clang have different policy for -Wunused-function; GCC does not
warn unused static inline functions at all whereas Clang does if they
are defined in source files instead of included headers although it has
been suppressed since commit abb2ea7dfd ("compiler, clang: suppress
warning for unused static inline functions").
We often miss to delete unused functions where 'static inline' is used
in *.c files since there is no tool to detect them. Unused code remains
until somebody notices. For example, commit 075ddd7568 ("regulator:
core: remove unused rdev_get_supply()").
Let's remove __maybe_unused from the inline macro to allow Clang to
start finding unused static inline functions. For now, we do this only
for W=1 build since it is not a good idea to sprinkle warnings for the
normal build (e.g. 35 warnings for arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig).
My initial attempt was to add -Wno-unused-function for no W= build
(https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1120594/)
Nathan Chancellor pointed out that would weaken Clang's checks since
we would no longer get -Wunused-function without W=1. It is true GCC
would catch unused static non-inline functions, but it would weaken
Clang as a standalone compiler, at least.
Hence, here is a counter implementation. The current problem is, W=...
only controls compiler flags, which are globally effective. There is
no way to address only 'static inline' functions.
This commit defines KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN[123] corresponding to W=[123].
When KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN1 is defined, __maybe_unused is omitted from
the 'inline' macro.
The new macro __inline_maybe_unused makes the code a bit uglier, so I
hope we can remove it entirely after fixing most of the warnings.
If you contribute to code clean-up, please run "make CC=clang W=1"
and check -Wunused-function warnings. You will find lots of unused
functions.
Some of them are false-positives because the call-sites are disabled
by #ifdef. I do not like to abuse the inline keyword for suppressing
unused-function warnings because it is intended to be a hint for the
compiler optimization. I prefer #ifdef around the definition, or
__maybe_unused if #ifdef would make the code too ugly.

KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS started as a switch to add extra warning
options for GCC, but now it is a historical misnomer since we use it
also for Clang, DTC, and even kernel-doc.

Instead of the warning-[123] magic, let's accumulate compiler options
to KBUILD_CFLAGS directly as the top Makefile does. I think this makes
it easier to understand what is going on in this file.
This commit slightly changes the behavior, I think all of which are OK.
[1] Currently, cc-option calls are needlessly evaluated. For example,
warning-3 += $(call cc-option, -Wpacked-bitfield-compat)
needs evaluating only when W=3, but it is actually evaluated for
W=1, W=2 as well. With this commit, only relevant cc-option calls
will be evaluated. This is a slight optimization.
[2] Currently, unsupported level like W=4 is checked by:
$(error W=$(KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS) is unknown)
This will no longer be checked, but I do not think it is a big
deal.
[3] Currently, 4 Clang warnings (Winitializer-overrides, Wformat,
Wsign-compare, Wformat-zero-length) are shown by any of W=1, W=2,
and W=3. With this commit, they will be warned only by W=1. I
think this is a more correct behavior since each warning belongs
to only one group.
For understanding this commit correctly:
We have 3 warning groups, W=1, W=2, and W=3. You may think W=3 has a
higher level than W=1, but they are actually independent. If you like,
you can combine them like W=13. To enable all the warnings, you can
pass W=123. It is shown by 'make help', but not noticed much. Since we
support W= combination, there should not exist intersection among the
three groups. If we enable Winitializer-overrides for W=1, we do not
need to for W=2 or W=3. This is the reason why I think the change [3]
makes sense.
The documentation says -Winitializer-overrides is enabled by default.
(https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#winitializer-overrides)
We negate it by passing -Wno-initializer-overrides for the normal
build, but we do not do that for W=1. This means, W=1 effectively
enables -Winitializer-overrides by the clang's default. The same for
the other three.
Add comments in case people are confused with the code.

The merge_config.sh script verifies that all the config options have

Kbuild provides per-file compiler flag addition/removal:
CFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
CFLAGS_REMOVE_<basetarget>.o
AFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
AFLAGS_REMOVE_<basetarget>.o
CPPFLAGS_<basetarget>.lds
HOSTCFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
HOSTCXXFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
The <basetarget> is the filename of the target with its directory and
suffix stripped.
This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename
appear in one Makefile, for example:
obj-y += foo.o
obj-y += dir/foo.o
CFLAGS_foo.o := <some-flags>
Here, the <some-flags> applies to both foo.o and dir/foo.o
The real world problem is:
scripts/kconfig/util.c
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.c
Both files are compiled into scripts/kconfig/mconf, but only the
latter should be given with the ncurses flags.
It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this:
obj-y += foo.o
CFLAGS_foo.o := <some-flags>
obj-y += dir/foo.o
CFLAGS_dir/foo.o := <other-flags>
At first, I attempted to replace $(basetarget) with $*. The $* variable
is replaced with the stem ('%') part in a pattern rule. This works with
most of cases, but does not for explicit rules.
For example, arch/ia64/lib/Makefile reuses rule_as_o_S in its own
explicit rules, so $* will be empty, resulting in ignoring the per-file
AFLAGS.
I introduced a new variable, target-stem, which can be used also from
explicit rules.

CONFIG_SHELL falls back to sh when bash is not installed on the system,
but nobody is testing such a case since bash is usually installed.
So, shell scripts invoked by CONFIG_SHELL are only tested with bash.
It makes it difficult to test whether the hashbang #!/bin/sh is real.
For example, #!/bin/sh in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh is
false. (I fixed it up)
Besides, some shell scripts invoked by CONFIG_SHELL use bash-extension
and #!/bin/bash is specified as the hashbang, while CONFIG_SHELL may
not always be set to bash.
Probably, the right thing to do is to introduce BASH, which is bash by
default, and always set CONFIG_SHELL to sh. Replace $(CONFIG_SHELL)
with $(BASH) for bash scripts.
If somebody tries to add bash-extension to a #!/bin/sh script, it will
be caught in testing because /bin/sh is a symlink to dash on some major
distributions.

This functionally reverts commit bfd77145f3 ("Makefile: Convert
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 to just -Wimplicit-fallthrough for clang").
clang enabled support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough in C in r369414 [1],
which causes a lot of warnings when building the kernel for two reasons:
1. Clang does not support the /* fall through */ comments. There seems
to be a general consensus in the LLVM community that this is not
something they want to support. Joe Perches wrote a script to convert
all of the comments to a "fallthrough" keyword that will be added to
compiler_attributes.h [2] [3], which catches the vast majority of the
comments. There doesn't appear to be any consensus in the kernel
community when to do this conversion.
2. Clang and GCC disagree about falling through to final case statements
with no content or cases that simply break:
https://godbolt.org/z/c8csDu
This difference contributes at least 50 warnings in an allyesconfig
build for x86, not considering other architectures. This difference
will need to be discussed to see which compiler is right [4] [5].

Given these two problems need discussion and coordination, do not enable
-Wimplicit-fallthrough with clang right now. Add a comment to explain
what is going on as well. This commit should be reverted once these two
issues are fully flushed out and resolved.

If you try out-of-tree build with an unclean source tree, Kbuild

it suggests to run 'make ARCH=<ARCH> mrproper'.
This looks odd when you are not cross-compiling the kernel. Show the

If ARCH is the default (native build) or came from the environment,

Now that the single target build descends into sub-directories in the
same way as the normal build, these dummy Makefiles are not needed
any more.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Currently, the single target build directly descends into the directory
of the target. For example,
$ make foo/bar/baz.o
... directly descends into foo/bar/.
On the other hand, the normal build usually descends one directory at
a time, i.e. descends into foo/, and then foo/bar/.
This difference causes some problems.
[1] miss subdir-asflags-y, subdir-ccflags-y in upper Makefiles
The options in subdir-{as,cc}flags-y take effect in the current
and its sub-directories. In other words, they are inherited
downward. In the example above, the single target will miss
subdir-{as,cc}flags-y if they are defined in foo/Makefile.
[2] could be built in a different directory
As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst section 4.3 says, Kbuild can
handle files that are spread over several sub-directories.
The build rule of foo/bar/baz.o may not necessarily be specified in
foo/bar/Makefile. It might be specifies in foo/Makefile as follows:
[foo/Makefile]
obj-y := bar/baz.o
This often happens when a module is so big that its source files
are divided into sub-directories.
In this case, there is no Makefile in the foo/bar/ directory, yet
the single target descends into foo/bar/, then fails due to the
missing Makefile. You can still do 'make foo/bar/' for partial
building, but cannot do 'make foo/bar/baz.s'. I believe the single
target '%.s' is a useful feature for inspecting the compiler output.
Some modules work around this issue by putting an empty Makefile
in every sub-directory.
This commit fixes those problems by making the single target build
descend in the same way as the normal build does.
Another change is the single target build will observe the CONFIG
options. Previously, it allowed users to build the foo.o even when
the corresponding CONFIG_FOO is disabled:
obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
In the new behavior, the single target build will just fail and show
"No rule to make target ..." (or "Nothing to be done for ..." if the
stale object already exists, but cannot be updated).
The disadvantage of this commit is the build speed. Now that the
single target build visits every directory and parses lots of
Makefiles, it is slower than before. (But, I hope it will not be
too slow.)

Most of these are false positives because scripts/headers_check.pl
parses comment lines.
It is also false negative. arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h contains
CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION and CONFIG_X86_64, but the only former is reported.
It would be possible to fix scripts/headers_check.pl, of course.
However, we already have some duplicated checks between headers_check
and CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST. At this moment of time, there are still
dozens of headers excluded from the header test (usr/include/Makefile),
but we might be able to remove headers_check eventually.
I re-implemented it in scripts/headers_install.sh by using sed because
the most of code in scripts/headers_install.sh is written in sed.
This patch works like this:
[1] Run scripts/unifdef first because we need to drop the code
surrounded by #ifdef __KERNEL__ ... #endif
[2] Remove all C style comments. The sed code is somewhat complicated
since we need to deal with both single and multi line comments.
Precisely speaking, a comment block is replaced with a space just
in case.
CONFIG_FOO/* this is a comment */CONFIG_BAR
should be converted into:
CONFIG_FOO CONFIG_BAR
instead of:
CONFIG_FOOCONFIG_BAR
[3] Match CONFIG_... pattern. It correctly matches to all CONFIG
options that appear in a single line.
After this commit, this would detect the following warnings, all of
which are real ones.

However, it is not nice to show them right now. I created a list of
existing leakages. They are not warned, but a new leakage will be
blocked by the 0-day bot.

The in-kernel build and external module build have similar code
for descending into sub-directories.
Factor out the code into the common place.

There is no need to set 0 to variables such as config-targets,
mixed-targets, etc.
Unset instead of setting 0 in order to use 'ifdef' to test them.
I also renamed:
config-targets -> config-build
mixed-targets -> mixed-build
dot-config -> need-config
to clarify what we are doing.

'make clean' descends into ./Kbuild, but does not clean anything
since everything is added to no-clean-files.
There is no need to descend to ./Kbuild in the first place.
We can drop the no-clean-files assignment.
With this, there is no more user of no-clean-files. I will keep it
for a while to see whether a new user will appear.

timeconst.h is generated by $(call filechk,...), missing-syscalls and
old-atomics are invoked by $(call cmd,...)
None of them needs to be added to 'targets'.

'make /' is just an alias for 'make ./'; this builds all objects of an
external module, but skips the modpost stage.
I am not a big fan of 'make /' since it looks as if it were touching
the root directory of the system. I like 'make ./' better.
I do not know how many people are using it, but let's show a hint if
it is used. Also, move it close to the external module rules since
this only makes sense for external modules.

For the single target building %.symtypes from %.S, $(a_flags) is
expanded into the _KERNEL flags even if the object is a part of a
module.
$(real-obj-m:.o=.symtypes): modkern_aflags := $(KBUILD_AFLAGS_MODULE) $(AFLAGS_MODULE)
... would fix the issue, but it is not nice to duplicate similar code
for every suffix.
Implement modkern_aflags in the same way as modkern_cflags.
