Forgot to engage my brain before posting.

Architectures will need to have an include/asm/asm-prototypes.h that
defines or #include<>s C-style prototypes for exported asm functions.
We can do an asm-generic version for the common ones like memset so
there's not a lot of pointless duplication there.

Care to do a patch for x86?

Thanks,
Nick

Sure, did so.  With the prototypes added, your patch works!
Tested on a handful of modules, and one out-of-tree (virtualbox).
I didn't try a 32-bit build.

Note that powerpc already has an include/asm/asm-prototypes.h which might or
might not be what you want.  It doesn't have memset and co, for example.

Anyway, here's my stab at x86:

It is easy to obtain. Here is top 10 with runtime bigger than 0.50%:

_int_malloc
ht_lookup_with_hash
_cpp_lex_direct
cpp_get_token_1
ggc_internal_alloc_statm
_int_free
malloc_consolidate
lex_identifier
enter_macro_context
c_lex_with_flags
bitmap_set_bit
malloc
grokdeclarator
htab_find_slot_with_hash
c_lex_one_token
_cpp_lex_token
pop_scopev
c_parser_declspecs

Imagine you're a compiler. Those extern's are tokens. They need to be parsed
(byte-by-byte), allocated, and, in case of "extern" with prototype, thrown away.
They make line longer forcing people to dance around with splitting
per 80 characters
and generally making everything somewhat slower. Might as well don't new ones.

bitops.h is wrong header as well.
Why do you need bitops for bunch of function prototypes?

Before too late, those extern keywords aren't needed and
only slowdown compilation.

Unless you guys prefer using low-level headers only, that is.

Hi Adam,

Thanks, this is looking good. powerpc will be able to use the generic
header.

Well you can't use asm/arch_hweight.h in a generic header of course.
I would suggest just including linux/ variants where practical for
the asm-generic/asm-prototypes.h header.

We should probably just bring all these arch patches through the
kbuild tree.

I'm sorry for the breakage: I didn't realize it broke the build with
some configs, otherwise I would have given Michal a heads up before
his pull request, and worked to get this stuff in first.

Thanks,
Nick

It breaks with some binutils versions only (and only with
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, of course).

Yeah this seems to be the issue, it apparently slipped past all the
automated builds. It seems like the existing CRC warnings in the tree
only trigger in rare circumstances too, so something could be a bit
fragile there.

#1501926 — [PATCH] kbuild: provide include/asm/asm-prototypes.h for ARM

This adds an asm/asm-prototypes.h header for ARM to fix the
broken symbol versioning for symbols exported from assembler
files.

In addition to the header, we have to do these other small
changes:

- move the 'extern' declarations out of memset_io/memcpy_io
  to make them visible to the symbol version generator
- move the exports from bitops.h to {change,clear,set,...}bit.S
- move the exports from csumpartialgeneric.S into the files
  including it

I couldn't find the correct prototypes for the compiler builtins,
so I went with the fake 'void f(void)' prototypes that we had
before.

Hi Arnd,

just to make sure I'm looking at the right code - is this based on the
patch by Nick here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9377783/?

Thanks,
Michal

Correct.  I had imported Nick's patch into my randconfig tree and
this is what I needed to build all configurations cleanly with it.

I'm not in favour of this.

   +extern void mmioset(void *, unsigned int, size_t);
   +extern void mmiocpy(void *, const void *, size_t);
   +
    #ifndef __ARMBE__
    static inline void memset_io(volatile void __iomem *dst, unsigned c,
           size_t count)
    {
   -       extern void mmioset(void *, unsigned int, size_t);
           mmioset((void __force *)dst, c, count);
    }

The reason they're declared _within_ memset_io() is to prevent people
from using them by hiding their declaration.  Moving them outside is
an open invitation to stupid people starting to use them as an "oh it
must be an official API".

We know this happens, there's been a long history of this kind of stupid
in the ARM community, not only with cache flushing APIs, but also the
DMA APIs.

The way the existing code is written is a completely valid way to hide
declarations from outside the intended caller's scope.

We've been here many times, we've had many people doing this crap, so
I'm now at the point of NAKing changes which result in an increased
visibility to the rest of the kernel of symbols that should not be
used by stupid driver authors.

Now, why do we have these extra functions when they're just aliased to
memset()/memcpy() - to avoid GCC optimising them because it thinks that
they're standard memset()/memcpy().

So overall this gets a NAK from me.

Now, it would have _ALSO_ been nice to have been at least COPIED on the
original set of changes that caused the need for this change.  I wasn't.
So I want to see the original set of changes reverted, because they're
clearly causing breakage.  Let's revert them and then go through the
proper process of maintainer review, rather than bypassing maintainers
and screwing up architectures in the process.  There really is no
excuse for this crap.

Fair point, what about leaving those as they are, and also adding
them to asm-prototypes.h protected with GENKSYMS ifdef? It's not
beautiful, but still better than armksyms.c before Al's patches (or
at least no worse).

You may have a point about improvement of the process. I wasn't
involved in the original patches, but we did cc linux-arch when the
.S CRC issue became known.

However let's work on the assumption that they won't be reverted at this
stage, and try to come up with something to fix it that you're happy with.

Thanks,
Nick

I disagree (also see below).  The armksyms way was understandable.
The new way... I've no idea yet, because I wasn't even copied on
any of the patches.  I've no idea how the exports are now handled.
I'm in a black hole with respect to that, and that's now a problem.

Yes, but I'm not on linux-kernel-v2, and I've no desire to end up with
another list I've no hope of keeping up with to my mailbox - I'll just
ignore it.  99% of the messages on it at the time when vger kicked me
off the list was x86 related discussion, and not really cross-arch
issues.  As I say, it just became another linux-kernel list.

Well, there's more problems with this new KSYMS approach than just the
CRCs.  It forces a rebuild of the ksyms files every single time, which
then causes a relink of the kernel:

New way is you put the EXPORT_SYMBOL in the .S file, and give it a C
style prototype in asm-prototypes.h, and that's it. The build system
will do the rest. Either way you require some file of C prototypes,
but after Al's patches, at least the EXPORT goes with its definition.

As far as rebuilding too often, that sounds like a bug, more below.

For the patches that touched arm code, I'd agree you should have been cc'ed.

Not to dismiss that concern at all, but for issues of interest to arch code
but not specific to any (such as discovery that the asm exports change would
require this change to restore CRC generation), I was just saying linux-arch
is most appropriate for better or worse. Ccing 30 arch lists is not workable.

And again not to dismiss your concern, I'm just here trying to come up with
a workable fix for the non-revert scenario. Revert is no less valid an
option, it's just not one I'm in favour of myself.

Good catch, I'm surprised you're the first one who reported it. This patch
seems to do the trick for me:

Thanks for testing it.

Hopefully if Arnd is able to respin the ARM patch to something a bit more
to your liking that doesn't expose prototypes, and no other problems arise,
we can avoid reverting. You had a poor first impression, but we may yet win
you over.

Thanks. Added to kbuild.git#rc-fixes.
