MIPS: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

2022-11-21T16:56:53Z

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build now contains warnings that look like: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead. Here are the steps to install the latest grep: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make sudo make install export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

mips: Enable KCSAN

2022-02-07T17:31:57Z

This patch enables KCSAN for the 64-bit version. Updated rules for the incompatible compilation units (vdso, boot/compressed). Signed-off-by: Nemanja Rakovic Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

MIPS: VDSO: remove -nostdlib compiler flag

2021-11-09T15:09:37Z

The -nostdlib option requests the compiler to not use the standard system startup files or libraries when linking. It is effective only when $(CC) is used as a linker driver. Since commit 2ff906994b6c ("MIPS: VDSO: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO"), $(LD) is directly used, hence -nostdlib is unneeded.

MIPS: Makefile: Replace -pg with CC_FLAGS_FTRACE

2021-04-21T11:44:35Z

This patch replaces the "open-coded" -pg compile flag with a CC_FLAGS_FTRACE makefile variable which architectures can override if a different option should be used for code generation. Signed-off-by: zhaoxiao Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

kbuild: LD_VERSION redenomination

2021-02-11T20:12:31Z

Commit ccbef1674a15 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO. At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272) The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows: # We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not # support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object. # XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too # XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that? ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y) ... However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272) So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by commit 0d61ed17dd30 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version components"). Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros. Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

MIPS: VDSO: Use CLANG_FLAGS instead of filtering out '--target='

2021-01-18T14:40:14Z

Commit ee67855ecd9d ("MIPS: vdso: Allow clang's --target flag in VDSO cflags") allowed the '--target=' flag from the main Makefile to filter through to the vDSO. However, it did not bring any of the other clang specific flags for controlling the integrated assembler and the GNU tools locations (--prefix=, --gcc-toolchain=, and -no-integrated-as). Without these, we will get a warning (visible with tinyconfig): arch/mips/vdso/elf.S:14:1: warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per compilation unit .pushsection .note.Linux, "a",@note ; .balign 4 ; .long 2f - 1f ; .long 4484f - 3f ; .long 0 ; 1:.asciz "Linux" ; 2:.balign 4 ; 3: ^ arch/mips/vdso/elf.S:34:2: warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per compilation unit .section .mips_abiflags, "a" ^ All of these flags are bundled up under CLANG_FLAGS in the main Makefile and exported so that they can be added to Makefiles that set their own CFLAGS. Use this value instead of filtering out '--target=' so there is no warning and all of the tools are properly used.

mm: forbid splitting special mappings

2020-12-15T20:13:41Z

Don't allow splitting of vm_special_mapping's. It affects vdso/vvar areas. Uprobes have only one page in xol_area so they aren't affected. Those restrictions were enforced by checks in .mremap() callbacks. Restrict resizing with generic .split() callback.

kbuild: explicitly specify the build id style

2020-10-09T14:57:30Z

ld's --build-id defaults to "sha1" style, while lld defaults to "fast". The build IDs are very different between the two, which may confuse programs that reference them. Signed-off-by: Bill Wendling Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
