kbuild: disable header exports for UML in a straightforward way

2022-09-01T15:14:30+00:00

Previously 'make ARCH=um headers' stopped because of missing arch/um/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild. The error is not shown since commit ed102bf2afed ("um: Fix W=1 missing-include-dirs warnings") added arch/um/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild. Hard-code the unsupported architecture, so it works like before.

kbuild: fix the modules order between drivers and libs

2022-08-20T17:47:49+00:00

Commit b2c885549122 ("kbuild: update modules.order only when contained modules are updated") accidentally changed the modules order. Prior to that commit, the modules order was determined based on vmlinux-dirs, which lists core-y/m, drivers-y/m, libs-y/m, in this order. Now, subdir-modorder lists them in a different order: core-y/m, libs-y/m, drivers-y/m. Presumably, there was no practical issue because the modules in drivers and libs are orthogonal, but there is no reason to have this distortion. Get back to the original order.

Makefile: link with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments

2022-08-11T01:29:34+00:00

Users of GNU ld (BFD) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple instances of a new warning when linking kernels in the form: ld: warning: vmlinux: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker ld: warning: vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions Generally, we would like to avoid the stack being executable. Because there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the .note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command line flag --noexecstack. Or we can simply tell the linker the production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as --noexecstack. LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt to be explicit here for all linkers IMO. --no-warn-rwx-segments is currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release, so it's wrapped in an ld-option check. While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use permissions from ELF segments.
