For EXPORT_SYMBOL from C files, <linux/export.h> defines __ksymtab_* as local symbols. For EXPORT_SYMBOL from assembly, in contrast, <asm-generic/export.h> produces globally-visible __ksymtab_* symbols due to this .globl directive. I do not know why this must be global. It still works without this. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

'pushd' ... 'popd' is the last bash-specific code in this script. One way to avoid it is to run the code in a sub-shell. With that addressed, you can run this script with sh. I replaced $(BASH) with $(CONFIG_SHELL), and I changed the hashbang to #!/bin/sh. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

This script copies headers by the cpio command twice; first from srctree, and then from objtree. However, when we building in-tree, we know the srctree and the objtree are the same. That is, all the headers copied by the first cpio are overwritten by the second one. Skip the first cpio when we are building in-tree. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

This script computes md5sum of headers in srctree and in objtree. However, when we are building in-tree, we know the srctree and the objtree are the same. That is, we end up with the same computation twice. In fact, the first two lines of kernel/kheaders.md5 are always the same for in-tree builds. Unify the two md5sum calculations. For in-tree builds ($building_out_of_srctree is empty), we check only two directories, "include", and "arch/$SRCARCH/include". For out-of-tree builds ($building_out_of_srctree is 1), we check 4 directories, "$srctree/include", "$srctree/arch/$SRCARCH/include", "include", and "arch/$SRCARCH/include" since we know they are all different.

The 'head' and 'tail' commands can take a file path directly. So, you do not need to run 'cat'. cat kernel/kheaders.md5 | head -1 ... is equivalent to: head -1 kernel/kheaders.md5 and the latter saves forking one process. While I was here, I replaced 'head -1' with 'head -n 1'. I also replaced '==' with '=' since we do not have a good reason to use the bashism.

Since commit 040fcc81 ("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 0d96fb20 ("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.

When building external modules, $(objtree)/Module.symvers is scanned for symbol information of vmlinux and in-tree modules. Additionally, vmlinux is parsed if it exists in $(objtree)/. This is totally redundant since all the necessary information is contained in $(objtree)/Module.symvers. Do not parse vmlinux at all for external module builds. This makes sense because vmlinux is deleted by 'make clean'. 'make clean' leaves all the build artifacts for building external modules. vmlinux is unneeded for that.

The comment line "When building external modules ..." explains the same thing as "Include the module's Makefile ..." a few lines below. The comment "they may be used when building the .mod.c file" is no longer true; .mod.c file is compiled in scripts/Makefile.modfinal since commit 9b9a3f20 ("kbuild: split final module linking out into Makefile.modfinal"). I still keep the code in case $(obj) or $(src) is used in the external module Makefile. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

util.c exists both in scripts/kconfig/ and scripts/kconfig/lxdialog. Prior to commit 54b8ae66 ("kbuild: change *FLAGS_<basetarget>.o to take the path relative to $(obj)"), Kbuild could not pass different flags to source files with the same basename. Now that this issue was solved, you can split util.c out of parser.y and compile them independently of each other. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

The staging driver addition is the vboxsf filesystem, which is the VirtualBox guest shared folder code. Hans has been trying to get filesystem reviewers to review the code for many months now, and Christoph finally said to just merge it in staging now as it is stand-alone and the filesystem people can review it easier over time that way. I know it's late for this big of an addition, but it is stand-alone. The code has been in linux-next for a while, long enough to pick up a few tiny fixes for it already so people are looking at it.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Fixes 2019-11-08 This series contains fixes to igb, igc, ixgbe, i40e, iavf and ice drivers. Colin Ian King fixes a potentially wrap-around counter in a for-loop. Nick fixes the default ITR values for the iavf driver to 50 usecs interval. Arkadiusz fixes 'ethtool -m' for X722 devices where the correct value cannot be obtained from the firmware, so add X722 to the check to ensure the wrong value is not returned. Jake fixes igb and igc drivers in their implementation of launch time support by declaring skb->tstamp value as ktime_t instead of s64. Magnus fixes ixgbe and i40e where the need_wakeup flag for transmit may not be set for AF_XDP sockets that are only used to send packets. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The need_wakeup flag for Tx might not be set for AF_XDP sockets that are only used to send packets. This happens if there is at least one outstanding packet that has not been completed by the hardware and we get that corresponding completion (which will not generate an interrupt since interrupts are disabled in the napi poll loop) between the time we stopped processing the Tx completions and interrupts are enabled again. In this case, the need_wakeup flag will have been cleared at the end of the Tx completion processing as we believe we will get an interrupt from the outstanding completion at a later point in time. But if this completion interrupt occurs before interrupts are enable, we lose it and should at that point really have set the need_wakeup flag since there are no more outstanding completions that can generate an interrupt to continue the processing. When this happens, user space will see a Tx queue need_wakeup of 0 and skip issuing a syscall, which means will never get into the Tx processing again and we have a deadlock. This patch introduces a quick fix for this issue by just setting the need_wakeup flag for Tx to 1 all the time. I am working on a proper fix for this that will toggle the flag appropriately, but it is more challenging than I anticipated and I am afraid that this patch will not be completed before the merge window closes, therefore this easier fix for now. This fix has a negative performance impact in the range of 0% to 4%. Towards the higher end of the scale if you have driver and application on the same core and issue a lot of packets, and towards no negative impact if you use two cores, lower transmission speeds and/or a workload that also receives packets.

When implementing launch time support in the igb and igc drivers, the skb->tstamp value is assumed to be a s64, but it's declared as a ktime_t value. Although ktime_t is typedef'd to s64 it wasn't always, and the kernel provides accessors for ktime_t values. Use the ktime_to_timespec64 and ktime_set accessors instead of directly assuming that the variable is always an s64. This improves portability if the code is ever moved to another kernel version, or if the definition of ktime_t ever changes again in the future.
