[PATCH v2 17/26] modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files
From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sun May 01 2022 - 04:43:58 EST
Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol
versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs
from them.
The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying
to change it.
Current implementation
======================
embed CRC |---------| |------------|
$(CC) $(LD) | | | final link |
*.c ------> *.o --------> *.o -->| modpost |-- *.o ------>| for |
/ | |-- *.mod.c -->| vmlinux |
genksyms / | | | or module |
*.c ------> *.symversions |---------| |------------|
Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script
(*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object.
If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process becomes much more complex.
Embedding the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted
into ELF, creating another intermediate *.prelink.o.
However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must
embed version CRCs in objects so early.
There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and
modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can embed CRCs at the very
last moment.
New implementation
==================
$(CC) |---------| |------------|
*.c ------> *.o --->| | | final link |
| modpost |-- *.o ------------>| for |
genksyms | |-- *.mod.c -------->| vmlinux |
*.c ------> *.cmd -->| |-- *.symver.lds --->| or module |
|---------| |------------|
We can pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data.
(The previous commit output the versions in *.cmd files.)
This commit changes modpost to retrieve CRCs from *.cmd files instead
of from ELF objects.
