2013-12-20Don't set the INITRD_COMPRESS environment variable automaticallyv3.13-jcLinus Torvalds
Commit 1bf49dd4be0b ("./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option") started setting the INITRD_COMPRESS environment variable depending on which decompression models the kernel had available. That is completely broken. For example, we by default have CONFIG_RD_LZ4 enabled, and are able to decompress such an initrd, but the user tools to *create* such an initrd may not be availble. So trying to tell dracut to generate an lz4-compressed image just because we can decode such an image is completely inappropriate.

2013-12-20stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONGKees Cook
This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of "None", "Regular", and "Strong": CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG "Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option. "Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all. For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are: -fstack-protector-all: Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users (e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option from the kernel many years ago. -fstack-protector: Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8 (--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no measurable performance or size overhead. -fstack-protector-strong Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions with only a small change in performance. Based on the original design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any of: - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side of an assignment or function argument - local variable is an array (or union containing an array), regardless of array type or length - uses register local variables https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1xXBH6rRZue4f296vGt9YQcuLVQHeE516stHwt8M9xyU Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with gcc-4.9 in three configurations: - defconfig 11430641 kernel text size 36110 function bodies - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR 11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%) 1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%) - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch 11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%) 7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%) With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used during decompression and was never used before, the exposure here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the stack guard is back to normal. Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel builds for the last 8 months with no problems.

2013-12-18fix build with make 3.80Jan Beulich
According to Documentation/Changes, make 3.80 is still being supported for building the kernel, hence make files must not make (unconditional) use of features introduced only in newer versions. Commit 1bf49dd4be0b ("./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option") however introduced "else ifeq" constructs which make 3.80 doesn't understand. Replace the logic there with more conventional (in the kernel build infrastructure) list constructs (except that the list here is intentionally limited to exactly one element).

2013-11-13./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config optionP J P
Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial ramdisk image. But this choice does not result in duly compressed ramdisk image. Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs file. dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie. gzip(1). This patch exports the selected compression option to a sub-shell environment, so that it could be used by dracut(8) tool to generate appropriately compressed initramfs images. There isn't a straightforward way to pass on options to dracut(8) via positional parameters. Because it is indirectly invoked at the end of a $ make install sequence. # make install -> arch/$arch/boot/Makefile -> arch/$arch/boot/install.sh -> /sbing/installkernel ... -> /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ... -> /sbin/dracut ...

2013-11-11Kbuild: Ignore GREP_OPTIONS env variableBorislav Petkov
When building the kernel in a shell which defines GREP_OPTIONS so that grep behavior is modified, we can break the generation of the syscalls table like so: __SYSCALL_COMMON(^[[01;31m^[[K0^[[m^[[K, sys_read, sys_read) __SYSCALL_COMMON(^[[01;31m^[[K1^[[m^[[K, sys_write, sys_write) __SYSCALL_COMMON(^[[01;31m^[[K1^[[m^[[K0, sys_mprotect, sys_mprotect) ... This is just the initial breakage, later we barf when generating modules. In this case, GREP_OPTIONS contains "--color=always" which adds the shell colors markup and completely fudges the headers under ...generated/asm/. Fix that by unexporting the GREP_OPTIONS variable for the whole kernel build as we tend to use grep at a bunch of places.

2013-07-10Revert "Makefile: Fix install error with make -j option"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit d2aae8477cd00325bb7c7c7e95be488088900c48. It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is complete and utter sh*t. The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root) absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the already-built files over. So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should* get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.
