In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to
move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E
option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol
versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc,
symbol, module).
In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that
suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I
suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are
no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export
type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbcedf4), which is over a decade ago now.
Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the
original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order
to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export
type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the
field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have
a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next
delimiter or end of line will follow.

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

This change adds the configuration option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, and
build system support for Clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO). In
preparation for LTO support with other compilers, potentially common
parts of the changes are gated behind CONFIG_LTO instead.
With -flto, instead of object files, Clang produces LLVM bitcode,
which is compiled into a native object at link time, allowing the
final binary to be optimized globally. For more details, see:
https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html
While the kernel normally uses GNU ld for linking, LLVM supports LTO
only with LLD or GNU gold linkers. This change assumes LLD is used.

When 'exported twice' is warned, let sym_add_exported() return without

Now that there is no overwrap between symbols from ELF files and
ones from Module.symvers.
So, the 'exported twice' warning should be reported irrespective
of where the symbol in question came from.
The exceptional case is external module; in some cases, we build
an external module to provide a different version/variant of the
corresponding in-kernel module, overriding the same set of exported
symbols.
You can see this use-case in upstream; tools/testing/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko
replaces drivers/nvdimm/libnvdimm.ko in order to link it against mocked
version of core kernel symbols.
So, let's relax the 'exported twice' warning when building external
modules. The multiple export from external modules is warned only
when the previous one is from vmlinux or itself.
With this refactoring, the ugly preloading goes away.

It is complicated to add mocked-up symbols for pre-handling CRC.
Handle CRC after all the export symbols in the relevant module
are registered.
Call handle_modversion() after the handle_symbol() iteration.
In some cases, I see atand-alone __crc_* without __ksymtab_*.
For example, ARCH=arm allyesconfig produces __crc_ccitt_veneer and
__crc_itu_t_veneer. I guess they come from crc_ccitt, crc_itu_t,
respectively. Since __*_veneer are auto-generated symbols, just
ignore them.

Currently, namespace_from_kstrtabns() relies on the fact that
namespace strings are recorded in the __ksymtab_strings section.
Actually, it is coded in include/linux/export.h, but modpost does
not need to hard-code the section name.
Elf_Sym::st_shndx holds the index of the relevant section. Using it is
a more portable way to get the namespace string.
Make namespace_from_kstrtabns() simply call sym_get_data(), and delete
the info->ksymtab_strings .
While I was here, I added more 'const' qualifiers to pointers.

The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps
files.
Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information.
This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel
when the -j option is given.
On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread.
I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files.
This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file,
modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format:
<module_name>: <list of missing namespaces>
Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones.
So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good.
This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process
already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the
nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.
This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu:

'make nsdeps' invokes the modpost three times at most; before linking

Since commit 040fcc819a ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for
external modules"), the external module build reads Module.symvers in
the directory of the module itself, then dumps symbols back into it.
It accumulates stale symbols in the file when you build an external
module incrementally.
The idea behind it was, as the commit log explained, you can copy
Modules.symvers from one module to another when you need to pass symbol
information between two modules. However, the manual copy of the file
sounds questionable to me, and containing stale symbols is a downside.
Some time later, commit 0d96fb20b7 ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced a saner approach.
So, this commit removes the former one. Going forward, the external
module build dumps symbols into Module.symvers to be carried via
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, but never reads it automatically.
With the -I option removed, there is no one to set the external_module
flag unless KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is passed. Now the -i option does it
instead.

The introduction of Symbol Namespaces changed the naming schema of the
__ksymtab entries from __kysmtab__symbol to __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.symbol.
That caused some breakages in tools that depend on the name layout in
either the binaries(vmlinux,*.ko) or in System.map. E.g. kmod's depmod
would not be able to read System.map without a patch to support symbol
namespaces. A warning reported by depmod for namespaced symbols would
look like
depmod: WARNING: [...]/uas.ko needs unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks
In order to address this issue, revert to the original naming scheme and
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
the __kstrtabns_ entries and update the namespaces accordingly.

Let the function 'sym_update_namespace' take care of updating the

location where namespaces are updated, in a following patch, this
function will get more call sites.
The function signature is intentionally close to sym_update_crc and
taking the name by char* seems like unnecessary work as the symbol has
to be looked up again. In a later patch of this series, this concern
will be addressed.
This function ensures that symbol::namespace is either NULL or has a
valid non-empty value. Previously, the empty string was considered 'no

Currently, external module builds produce tons of false-positives:
WARNING: module <mod> uses symbol <sym> from namespace <ns>, but does not import it.
Here, the <ns> part shows a random string.
When you build external modules, the symbol info of vmlinux and
in-kernel modules are read from $(objtree)/Module.symvers, but
read_dump() is buggy in multiple ways:
[1] When the modpost is run for vmlinux and in-kernel modules,
sym_extract_namespace() allocates memory for the namespace. On the
other hand, read_dump() does not, then sym->namespace will point to
somewhere in the line buffer of get_next_line(). The data in the
buffer will be replaced soon, and sym->namespace will end up with
pointing to unrelated data. As a result, check_exports() will show
random strings in the warning messages.
[2] When there is no namespace, sym_extract_namespace() returns NULL.
On the other hand, read_dump() sets namespace to an empty string "".
(but, it will be later replaced with unrelated data due to bug [1].)
The check_exports() shows a warning unless exp->namespace is NULL,
so every symbol read from read_dump() emits the warning, which is
mostly false positive.
To address [1], sym_add_exported() calls strdup() for s->namespace.
The namespace from sym_extract_namespace() must be freed to avoid
memory leak.
For [2], I changed the if-conditional in check_exports().
This commit also fixes sym_add_exported() to set s->namespace correctly
when the symbol is preloaded.

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.

When you run "make", the modpost is run twice; before linking vmlinux,
and before building modules. All the warnings above are from the second
modpost.
The offending symbols are defined not in vmlinux, but in the C library.
The first modpost is run against the relocatable vmlinux.o, and those
warnings are nicely suppressed because the SH_UNDEF entries from the
symbol table clear the ->is_static flag.
The second modpost is run against the executable vmlinux (+ modules),
where those symbols have been resolved, but the definitions do not
exist.
This commit fixes it in a straightforward way; suppress the static
EXPORT_SYMBOL warnings from "vmlinux".
Without this commit, we see valid warnings twice anyway. For example,
ARCH=arm64 defconfig shows the following warning twice:
WARNING: "HYPERVISOR_platform_op" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
So, it is reasonable to suppress the second one.
Fixes: 15bfc2348d ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions")

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
"The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
"clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.
Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.
Summary:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.
Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing
kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow
subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some
exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think:
inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as
well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols
to other parts of the kernel.
With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the
misuse of exported symbols during patch review.
Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in
Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.
- Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there"

This makes *.mod.c much more readable. I confirmed depmod still
produced the same modules.dep file.

This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file
per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module.
E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol
myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created
by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace
dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc.
These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like
coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A
later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a
corresponding make target to automatically add missing
MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses
the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

Add support for symbols that are exported into namespaces. For that,
extract any namespace suffix from the symbol name. In addition, emit a
warning whenever a module refers to an exported symbol without
explicitly importing the namespace that it is defined in. This patch
consistently adds the namespace suffix to symbol names exported into
Module.symvers.
Example warning emitted by modpost in case of the above violation:
WARNING: module ums-usbat uses symbol usb_stor_resume from namespace
USB_STORAGE, but does not import it.

Add NOFAIL check for the strndup call, because the function

Since guid_t is the recommended data type for UUIDs in
kernel (and I guess uuid_le is meant to be ultimately
replaced with it), it should be made available here as
well.

This patch adds a check to warn about static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions
during the modpost. In most of the cases, a static symbol marked for
exporting is an odd combination that should be fixed either by deleting
the exporting mark or by removing the static attribute and adding the
appropriate declaration to headers.
This check could help to detect the following problems:
1. 550113d4e9 ("i2c: add newly exported functions to the header, too")
2. 54638c6eaf ("net: phy: make exported variables non-static")
3. 98ef2046f2 ("mm: remove the exporting of totalram_pages")
4. 73df167c81 ("s390/zcrypt: remove the exporting of ap_query_configuration")
5. a57caf8c52 ("sunrpc/cache: remove the exporting of cache_seq_next")
6. e4e4730698 ("crypto: skcipher - remove the exporting of skcipher_walk_next")
7. 14b4c48bb1 ("gve: Remove the exporting of gve_probe")
8. 9b79ee9773 ("scsi: libsas: remove the exporting of sas_wait_eh")
9. ...
The build time impact is very limited and is almost at the unnoticeable
level (< 1 sec).
