init: move THIS_MODULE from <linux/export.h> to <linux/init.h>

Commit f50169324df4 ("module.h: split out the EXPORT_SYMBOL into
export.h") appropriately separated EXPORT_SYMBOL into <linux/export.h>
because modules and EXPORT_SYMBOL are orthogonal; modules are symbol
consumers, while EXPORT_SYMBOL are used by symbol providers, which
may not be necessarily a module.

However, that commit also relocated THIS_MODULE. As explained in the
commit description, the intention was to define THIS_MODULE in a
lightweight header, but I do not believe <linux/export.h> was the
best location because EXPORT_SYMBOL and THIS_MODULE are unrelated.

Move it to another lightweight header, <linux/init.h>. The reason for
choosing <linux/init.h> is to make <linux/moduleparam.h> self-contained
without relying on <linux/linkage.h> incorrectly including
<linux/export.h>.

With this adjustment, the role of <linux/export.h> becomes clearer as
it only defines EXPORT_SYMBOL.

linux/export.h: make <linux/export.h> independent of CONFIG_MODULES

Currently, all files with EXPORT_SYMBOL() are rebuilt when CONFIG_MODULES
is flipped due to <linux/export.h> depending on CONFIG_MODULES.

Now that modpost can make a final decision about export symbols,
<linux/export.h> does not need to make EXPORT_SYMBOL() no-op.
Instead, modpost can skip emitting KSYMTAB when CONFIG_MODULES is unset.

This commit will reduce the number of recompilation when CONFIG_MODULES

kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.

Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits:

- 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
- a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding")

We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL
are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit
KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.

Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another
ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules,
modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB
only for symbols with sym->used==true.

BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/

Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain
reaction of trimming comes into play because:

- CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols
- CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux,
but not modules

If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess
that is unlikely to happen.

kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost

Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way
whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S.

For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the
entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL().

The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages.

When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into
a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section.

For example,

EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);

will be encoded into the following assembly code:

.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_foo:
.asciz "" /* license */
.asciz "" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad foo /* symbol reference */
.previous

.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_bar:
.asciz "GPL" /* license */
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad bar /* symbol reference */
.previous

They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script.

Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.export_symbol section, and generates the final C code:

KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", "");
KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE");

KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct
kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module.

With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S
files, providing the following benefits.

[1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()

In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export
a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file.
arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner.

Commit 22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation.
Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition
in *.S files. It was a nice improvement.

However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
for data objects on some architectures.

In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not),
and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly.

There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL:

EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S)
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S)

They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c

KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", "");
KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", "");

The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as
KSYMTAB_FUNC().

EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated.

[2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h>

There are two similar header implementations:

include/linux/export.h for .c files
include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files

Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they
tend to diverge.

Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did
not support the namespace for *.S files.

This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files.

<asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of
<linux/export.h> for a while.

They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all
replaced with #include <linux/export.h>.

[3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit)

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.

We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries
that are really used by modules.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.

Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.

It is time to get rid of this complexity.

Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.

Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.

Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.

export: Make CRCs robust to symbol trimming

The CRC calculation done by genksyms is triggered when the parser hits
EXPORT_SYMBOL*() macros. At this point, genksyms recursively expands the
types, and uses that as the input for the CRC calculation. In the case
of forward-declared structs, the type expands to 'UNKNOWN'. Next, the
result of the expansion of each type is cached, and is re-used when/if
the same type is seen again for another exported symbol in the file.

Unfortunately, this can cause CRC 'stability' issues when a struct
definition becomes visible in the middle of a C file. For example, let's
assume code with the following pattern:

struct foo;

int bar(struct foo *arg)
{
/* Do work ... */
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bar);

/* This contains struct foo's definition */
#include "foo.h"

int baz(struct foo *arg)
{
/* Do more work ... */
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(baz);

Here, baz's CRC will be computed using the expansion of struct foo that
was cached after bar's CRC calculation ('UNKOWN' here). But if
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bar) is removed from the file (because of e.g. symbol
trimming using CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS), struct foo will be expanded
late, during baz's CRC calculation, which now has visibility over the
full struct definition, hence resulting in a different CRC for baz.

This can cause annoying issues for distro kernel (such as the Android
Generic Kernel Image) which use CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST. Indeed,
as per the above, adding a symbol to the whitelist can change the CRC of
symbols that are already kept exported. As such, modules built against a
kernel with a trimmed ABI may not load against the same kernel built
with an extended whitelist, even though they are still strictly binary
compatible. While rebuilding the modules would obviously solve the
issue, I believe this classifies as an odd genksyms corner case, and it
gets in the way of kernel updates in the GKI context.

To work around the issue, make sure to keep issuing the
__GENKSYMS_EXPORT_SYMBOL macros for all trimmed symbols, hence making
the genksyms parsing insensitive to symbol trimming.

export.h: reduce __ksymtab_strings string duplication by using "MS" section flags

Commit c3a6cf19e695 ("export: avoid code duplication in
include/linux/export.h") refactors export.h quite nicely, but introduces
a slight increase in memory usage due to using the empty string ""
instead of NULL to indicate that an exported symbol has no namespace. As
mentioned in that commit, this meant an increase of 1 byte per exported
symbol without a namespace. For example, if a kernel configuration has
about 10k exported symbols, this would mean that the size of
__ksymtab_strings would increase by roughly 10kB.

We can alleviate this situation by utilizing the SHF_MERGE and
SHF_STRING section flags. SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRING indicate to the linker
that the data in the section are null-terminated strings that can be
merged to eliminate duplication. More specifically, from the binutils
documentation - "for sections with both M and S, a string which is a
suffix of a larger string is considered a duplicate. Thus "def" will be
merged with "abcdef"; A reference to the first "def" will be changed to
a reference to "abcdef"+3". Thus, all the empty strings would be merged
as well as any strings that can be merged according to the cited method
above. For example, "memset" and "__memset" would be merged to just
"__memset" in __ksymtab_strings.

As of v5.4-rc5, the following statistics were gathered with x86
defconfig with approximately 10.7k exported symbols.

Size of __ksymtab_strings in vmlinux:
-------------------------------------
v5.4-rc5: 213834 bytes
v5.4-rc5 with commit c3a6cf19e695: 224455 bytes
v5.4-rc5 with this patch: 205759 bytes

So, we already see memory savings of ~8kB compared to vanilla -rc5 and
savings of nearly 18.7kB compared to -rc5 with commit c3a6cf19e695 on top.

Unfortunately, as of this writing, strings will not get deduplicated for
kernel modules, as ld does not do the deduplication for
SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS sections for relocatable files (ld -r), which
kernel modules are. A patch for ld is currently being worked on to
hopefully allow for string deduplication in relocatable files in the
future.

export: avoid code duplication in include/linux/export.h

include/linux/export.h has lots of code duplication between
EXPORT_SYMBOL and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS.

To improve the maintainability and readability, unify the
implementation.

When the symbol has no namespace, pass the empty string "" to
the 'ns' parameter.

The drawback of this change is, it grows the code size.
When the symbol has no namespace, sym->namespace was previously
NULL, but it is now an empty string "". So, it increases 1 byte
for every no namespace EXPORT_SYMBOL.

A typical kernel configuration has 10K exported symbols, so it
increases 10KB in rough estimation.

I did not come up with a good idea to refactor it without increasing
the code size.

I am not sure how big a deal it is, but at least include/linux/export.h
looks nicer.

rather read the __kstrtabns_<symbol> entries and their corresponding
values from __ksymtab_strings to update the namespace values for
symbols. After having read all symbols and handled them in
handle_modversions(), the symbols are created. In a second pass, read

module: rename __kstrtab_ns_* to __kstrtabns_* to avoid symbol conflict

The module namespace produces __strtab_ns_<sym> symbols to store
namespace strings, but it does not guarantee the name uniqueness.
This is a potential problem because we have exported symbols starting
with "ns_".

For example, kernel/capability.c exports the following symbols:

EXPORT_SYMBOL(ns_capable);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(capable);

Assume a situation where those are converted as follows:

EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(ns_capable, some_namespace);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(capable, some_namespace);

The former expands to "__kstrtab_ns_capable" and "__kstrtab_ns_ns_capable",
and the latter to "__kstrtab_capable" and "__kstrtab_ns_capable".
Then, we have the duplicated "__kstrtab_ns_capable".

module: swap the order of symbol.namespace

Currently, EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(_GPL) constructs the kernel symbol as
follows:

__ksymtab_SYMBOL.NAMESPACE

The sym_extract_namespace() in modpost allocates memory for the part
SYMBOL.NAMESPACE when '.' is contained. One problem is that the pointer
returned by strdup() is lost because the symbol name will be copied to
malloc'ed memory by alloc_symbol(). No one will keep track of the
pointer of strdup'ed memory.

sym->namespace still points to the NAMESPACE part. So, you can free it
with complicated code like this:

free(sym->namespace - strlen(sym->name) - 1);

It complicates memory free.

To fix it elegantly, I swapped the order of the symbol and the
namespace as follows:

__ksymtab_NAMESPACE.SYMBOL

then, simplified sym_extract_namespace() so that it allocates memory
only for the NAMESPACE part.

I prefer this order because it is intuitive and also matches to major
languages. For example, NAMESPACE::NAME in C++, MODULE.NAME in Python.

export.h, genksyms: do not make genksyms calculate CRC of trimmed symbols

Arnd Bergmann reported false-positive modpost warnings detected by his

Actually, this happens under the combination of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost:

For example, arch/arm/config/multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
+ CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS produces the following false-positives:

WARNING: "__lshrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)

WARNING: "__ashldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsl" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)

The root cause of the problem is not in the modpost, but in the
implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS.

If there is at least one untrimmed symbol in the file, genksyms is
invoked to calculate CRC of *all* the exported symbols in that file
even if some of them have been trimmed due to no caller existing.

As a result, .tmp_*.ver files contain CRC of trimmed symbols, thus
unneeded, orphan __crc* symbols are added to objects. It had been
harmless until recently.

With commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*

modpost call sym_update_crc() to add the symbols to the hash table,
but there is no one that clears the ->is_static member.

module: Fix link failure due to invalid relocation on namespace offset

Commit 8651ec01daed ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.")
broke linking for arm64 defconfig:

| lib/crypto/arc4.o: In function `__ksymtab_arc4_setkey':
| arc4.c:(___ksymtab+arc4_setkey+0x8): undefined reference to `no symbol'
| lib/crypto/arc4.o: In function `__ksymtab_arc4_crypt':
| arc4.c:(___ksymtab+arc4_crypt+0x8): undefined reference to `no symbol'

This is because the dummy initialisation of the 'namespace_offset' field
in 'struct kernel_symbol' when using EXPORT_SYMBOL on architectures with
support for PREL32 locations uses an offset from an absolute address (0)
in an effort to trick 'offset_to_pointer' into behaving as a NOP,
allowing non-namespaced symbols to be treated in the same way as those
belonging to a namespace.

Unfortunately, place-relative relocations require a symbol reference
rather than an absolute value and, although x86 appears to get away with
this due to placing the kernel text at the top of the address space, it
almost certainly results in a runtime failure if the kernel is relocated
dynamically as a result of KASLR.

Rework 'namespace_offset' so that a value of 0, which cannot occur for a
valid namespaced symbol, indicates that the corresponding symbol does
not belong to a namespace.

export.h: remove defined(__KERNEL__), which is no longer needed

The conditional, define(__KERNEL__), was added by commit f235541699bc
("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").

It was needed at that time to avoid the build error of modpost
with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.

Since commit b2c5cdcfd4bc ("modpost: remove symbol prefix support"),
modpost no longer includes linux/export.h, thus the define(__KERNEL__)
is unneeded.

export: allow definition default namespaces in Makefiles or sources

To avoid excessive usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(sym, MY_NAMESPACE), where
MY_NAMESPACE will always be the namespace we are exporting to, allow
exporting all definitions of EXPORT_SYMBOL() and friends by defining
DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE.

For example, to export all symbols defined in usb-common into the
namespace USB_COMMON, add a line like this to drivers/usb/common/Makefile:

ccflags-y += -DDEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE=USB_COMMON

That is equivalent to changing all EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym) definitions to
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(sym, USB_COMMON). Subsequently all symbol namespaces
functionality will apply.

Another way of making use of this feature is to define the namespace
within source or header files similar to how TRACE_SYSTEM defines are
used:
#undef DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
#define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE USB_COMMON

Please note that, as opposed to TRACE_SYSTEM, DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
has to be defined before including include/linux/export.h.

If DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE is defined, a symbol can still be exported
to another namespace by using EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and friends with
explicitly specifying the namespace.

module: add support for symbol namespaces.

The EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL() macros can be used to
export a symbol to a specific namespace. There are no _GPL_FUTURE and
_UNUSED variants because these are currently unused, and I'm not sure
they are necessary.

I didn't add EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for ASM exports; this patch sets the
namespace of ASM exports to NULL by default. In case of relative
references, it will be relocatable to NULL. If there's a need, this
should be pretty easy to add.

A module that wants to use a symbol exported to a namespace must add a
MODULE_IMPORT_NS() statement to their module code; otherwise, modpost
will complain when building the module, and the kernel module loader
will emit an error and fail when loading the module.

MODULE_IMPORT_NS() adds a modinfo tag 'import_ns' to the module. That
tag can be observed by the modinfo command, modpost and kernel/module.c
at the time of loading the module.

The ELF symbols are renamed to include the namespace with an asm label;
for example, symbol 'usb_stor_suspend' in namespace USB_STORAGE becomes
'usb_stor_suspend.USB_STORAGE'. This allows modpost to do namespace
checking, without having to go through all the effort of parsing ELF and
relocation records just to get to the struct kernel_symbols.

On x86_64 I saw no difference in binary size (compression), but at
runtime this will require a word of memory per export to hold the
namespace. An alternative could be to store namespaced symbols in their
own section and use a separate 'struct namespaced_kernel_symbol' for
that section, at the cost of making the module loader more complex.

export: explicitly align struct kernel_symbol

This change allows growing struct kernel_symbol without wasting bytes to
alignment. It also concretized the alignment of ksymtab entries if
relative references are used for ksymtab entries.

struct kernel_symbol was already implicitly being aligned to the word
size, except on x86_64 and m68k, where it is aligned to 16 and 2 bytes,
respectively.

As far as I can tell there is no requirement for aligning struct
kernel_symbol to 16 bytes on x86_64, but gcc aligns structs to their
size, and the linker aligns the custom __ksymtab sections to the largest
data type contained within, so setting KSYM_ALIGN to 16 was necessary to
stay consistent with the code generated for non-ASM EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Now
that non-ASM EXPORT_SYMBOL() explicitly aligns to word size (8),
KSYM_ALIGN is no longer necessary.

In case of relative references, the alignment has been changed
accordingly to not waste space when adding new struct members.

As for m68k, struct kernel_symbol is aligned to 2 bytes even though the
structure itself is 8 bytes; using a 4-byte alignment shouldn't hurt.

I manually verified the output of the __ksymtab sections didn't change
on x86, x86_64, arm, arm64 and m68k. As expected, the section contents
didn't change, and the ELF section alignment only changed on x86_64 and
m68k. Feedback from other archs more than welcome.

kbuild: simplify dependency generation for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include
and scripts/Makefile.build.

Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick;
possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace
EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is
post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing
is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly.

I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy
symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those
dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then
appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a
new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy
symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker
script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules.

A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will
be much faster.

module: use relative references for __ksymtab entries

An ordinary arm64 defconfig build has ~64 KB worth of __ksymtab entries,
each consisting of two 64-bit fields containing absolute references, to
the symbol itself and to a char array containing its name, respectively.

When we build the same configuration with KASLR enabled, we end up with an
additional ~192 KB of relocations in the .init section, i.e., one 24 byte
entry for each absolute reference, which all need to be processed at boot
time.

Given how the struct kernel_symbol that describes each entry is completely
local to module.c (except for the references emitted by EXPORT_SYMBOL()
itself), we can easily modify it to contain two 32-bit relative references
instead. This reduces the size of the __ksymtab section by 50% for all
64-bit architectures, and gets rid of the runtime relocations entirely for
architectures implementing KASLR, either via standard PIE linking (arm64)
or using custom host tools (x86).

Note that the binary search involving __ksymtab contents relies on each
section being sorted by symbol name. This is implemented based on the
input section names, not the names in the ksymtab entries, so this patch
does not interfere with that.

Given that the use of place-relative relocations requires support both in
the toolchain and in the module loader, we cannot enable this feature for
all architectures. So make it dependent on whether
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS is defined.

modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.

This has a couple of downsides:

- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,

- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)

- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.

Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.

So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.

Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

kbuild: add fine grained build dependencies for exported symbols

Like with kconfig options, we now have the ability to compile in and
out individual EXPORT_SYMBOL() declarations based on the content of
include/generated/autoksyms.h. However we don't want the entire
world to be rebuilt whenever that file is touched.

Let's apply the same build dependency trick used for CONFIG_* symbols
where the time stamp of empty files whose paths matching those symbols
is used to trigger fine grained rebuilds. In our case the key is the
symbol name passed to EXPORT_SYMBOL().

However, unlike config options, we cannot just use fixdep to parse
the source code for EXPORT_SYMBOL(ksym) because several variants exist
and parsing them all in a separate tool, and keeping it in synch, is
not trivially maintainable. Furthermore, there are variants such as

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_user_read_config_##size);

that are instanciated via a macro for which we can't easily determine
the actual exported symbol name(s) short of actually running the
preprocessor on them.

Storing the symbol name string in a special ELF section doesn't work
for targets that output assembly or preprocessed source.

So the best way is really to leverage the preprocessor by having it
output actual symbol names anchored by a special sequence that can be
easily filtered out. Then the list of symbols is simply fed to fixdep
to be merged with the other dependencies.

That implies the preprocessor is executed twice for each source file.
A previous attempt relied on a warning pragma for each EXPORT_SYMBOL()
instance that was filtered apart from stderr by the build system with
a sed script during the actual compilation pass. Unfortunately the
preprocessor/compiler diagnostic output isn't stable between versions
and this solution, although more efficient, was deemed too fragile.

Because of the lowercasing performed by fixdep, there might be name
collisions triggering spurious rebuilds for similar symbols. But this
shouldn't be a big issue in practice. (This is the case for CONFIG_*
symbols and I didn't want to be different here, whatever the original
reason for doing so.)

To avoid needless build overhead, the exported symbol name gathering is
performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.

CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().

A lot of files pull in module.h when all they are really
looking for is the basic EXPORT_SYMBOL functionality. The
recent data from Ingo[1] shows that this is one of several

Note that several commonly used header files in include/*
directly include <linux/module.h> themselves (some 34 of them!)
The most commonly used ones of these will have to be made
independent of module.h before the full benefit of this change
can be realized.

We also transition THIS_MODULE from module.h to export.h,
since there are lots of files with subsystem structs that
in turn will have a struct module *owner and only be doing:

.owner = THIS_MODULE;

and absolutely nothing else modular. So, we also want to have
the THIS_MODULE definition present in the lightweight header.
