2021-02-28kbuild: fix UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST for Clang LTOMasahiro Yamada
Commit fbe078d397b4 ("kbuild: lto: add a default list of used symbols") does not work as expected if the .config file has already specified CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST="my/own/white/list" before enabling CONFIG_LTO_CLANG. So, the user-supplied whitelist and LTO-specific white list must be independent of each other. I refactored the shell script so CONFIG_MODVERSIONS and CONFIG_CLANG_LTO handle whitelists in the same way.

2021-02-12kbuild: fix CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS build for ppc64Masahiro Yamada
Stephen Rothwell reported a build error on ppc64 when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled. Jessica Yu pointed out the cause of the error with the reference to the ppc64 ELF ABI: "Symbol names with a dot (.) prefix are reserved for holding entry point addresses. The value of a symbol named ".FN", if it exists, is the entry point of the function "FN". As it turned out, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS has never worked for ppc64, but this issue has been unnoticed until recently because this option depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS hence is disabled by all{mod,yes}config. (Then, it was uncovered by another patch removing UNUSED_SYMBOLS.) Removing the dot prefix in scripts/gen_autoksyms.sh fixes the issue. Please note it must be done before 'sort -u' because modules have both ._mcount and _mcount undefined when CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y.

2020-03-03kbuild: generate autoksyms.h earlyQuentin Perret
When doing a cold build, autoksyms.h starts empty, and is updated late in the build process to have visibility over the symbols used by in-tree drivers. But since the symbol whitelist is known upfront, it can be used to pre-populate autoksyms.h and maximize the amount of code that can be compiled to its final state in a single pass, hence reducing build time. Do this by using gen_autoksyms.sh to initialize autoksyms.h instead of creating an empty file.

2020-03-03kbuild: split adjust_autoksyms.sh in two partsQuentin Perret
In order to prepare the ground for a build-time optimization, split adjust_autoksyms.sh into two scripts: one that generates autoksyms.h based on all currently available information (whitelist, and .mod files), and the other to inspect the diff between two versions of autoksyms.h and trigger appropriate rebuilds.
