Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names, header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options. provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

Currently, Kbuild produces inconsistent results in some cases. You can do an interesting experiment using the --shuffle option, which is supported by GNU Make 4.4 or later. Set CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y and CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m (or vice versa), and repeat incremental builds w/wo --shuffle=reverse. $ make [ snip ] CC arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s $ make --shuffle=reverse [ snip ] CC [M] arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s $ make [ snip ] CC arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is rebuilt every time w/wo the [M] marker. arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as built-in when it is built as a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.o, which is built-in. arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as modular when it is built as a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.o, which is a module. Another odd example is single target builds. When CONFIG_LKDTM=m, drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o can be built as built-in or modular, depending on how it is built. $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.o [ snip ] CC [M] drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o [ snip ] CC drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o is built as modular when it is built as a prerequisite of another, but built as built-in when it is a final target. The same thing happens to drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s when CONFIG_TI_EMIF_SRAM=m. $ make drivers/memory/ti-emif-sram.o [ snip ] CC [M] drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s $ make drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s [ snip ] CC drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s This is because the part-of-module=y flag defined for the modules is inherited by its prerequisites. Target-specific variables are likely intended only for local use. This commit adds 'private' to them. Signed-off-by:

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined in scripts/Makefile.build: src := $(obj) When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically passed to the compiler. This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter. To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree. Going forward, the variables used ...

There is an issue in clang's ThinLTO caching (enabled for the kernel via '--thinlto-cache-dir') with .incbin, which the kernel occasionally uses to include data within the kernel, such as the .config file for /proc/config.gz. For example, when changing the .config and rebuilding vmlinux, the copy of .config in vmlinux does not match the copy of .config in the build folder: $ echo 'CONFIG_LTO_NONE=n CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y' >kernel/configs/repro.config $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean defconfig repro.config vmlinux ... $ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y $ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y $ scripts/config -d HEADERS_INSTALL $ make -kj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 vmlinux ... UPD kernel/config_data GZIP kernel/config_data.gz CC kernel/configs.o ... LD vmlinux ... $ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config # CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL is not set $ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y Without '--thinlto-cache-dir' or when using full LTO, this issue does not occur. Benchmarking incremental builds on a few different machines with and without the cache shows a 20% increase in incremental build time without the cache when measured by touching init/main.c and running 'make all'. ARCH=arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y on an arm64 host: Benchmark 1: With ThinLTO cache Time (mean ± σ): 56.347 s ± 0.163 s [User: 83.768 s, System: 24.661 s] Range (min … max): 56.109 s … 56.594 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: Without ThinLTO cache Time (mean ± σ): 67.740 s ± 0.479 s [User: 718.458 s, System: 31.797 s] Range (min … max): 67.059 s … 68.556 s 10 runs Summary With ThinLTO cache ran 1.20 ± 0.01 times faster than Without ThinLTO cache ARCH=x86_64 defconfig + CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y on an x86_64 host: Benchmark 1: With ThinLTO cache Time (mean ± σ): 85.772 s ± 0.252 s [User: 91.505 s, System: 8.408 s] Range (min … max): 85.447 s … 86.244 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: Without ThinLTO cache Time (mean ± σ): 103.833 s ± 0.288 s [User: 232.058 s, System: 8.569 s] Range (min … max): 103.286 s … 104.124 s 10 runs Summary With ThinLTO cache ran 1.21 ± 0.00 times faster than Without ThinLTO cache While it is unfortunate to take this performance improvement off the table, correctness is more important. If/when this is fixed in LLVM, it can potentially be brought back in a conditional manner. Alternatively, a developer can just disable LTO if doing incremental compiles quickly is important, as a full compile cycle can still take over a minute even with the cache and it is unlikely that LTO will result in functional differences for a kernel change.

Running dtbs_check and dt_compatible_check targets really only depend on processed-schema.json, but the dependency is 'dt_binding_check'. That was sort worked around with the CHECK_DT_BINDING variable in order to skip some of the work that 'dt_binding_check' does. It still runs the full checks of the schemas which is not necessary and adds 10s of seconds to the build time. That's significant when checking only a few DTBs and with recent changes that have improved the validation time by 6-7x. Add a new target, dt_binding_schema, which just builds processed-schema.json and can be used as the dependency for other targets. The scripts_dtc dependency isn't needed either as the examples aren't built for it. Signed-off-by:

Commit 25b146c5 ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory") exported abs_srctree and abs_objtree to avoid recomputation after the sub-make. However, this approach turned out to be fragile. Commit 5fa94ceb ("kbuild: set correct abs_srctree and abs_objtree for package builds") moved them above "ifneq ($(sub_make_done),1)", eliminating the need for exporting them. These are only needed in the top Makefile. If an absolute path is required in sub-directories, you can use $(abspath ) or $(realpath ) as needed. Signed-off-by:

`rustc` (like Cargo) may take advantage of the jobserver at any time (e.g. for backend parallelism, or eventually frontend too). In the kernel, we call `rustc` with `-Ccodegen-units=1` (and `-Zthreads` is 1 so far), so we do not expect parallelism. However, in the upcoming Rust 1.76.0, a warning is emitted by `rustc` [1] when it cannot connect to the jobserver it was passed (in many cases, but not all: compiling and `--print sysroot` do, but `--version` does not). And given GNU Make always passes the jobserver in the environment variable (even when a line is deemed non-recursive), `rustc` will end up complaining about it (in particular in Make 4.3 where there is only the simple pipe jobserver style). One solution is to remove the jobserver from `MAKEFLAGS`. However, we can mark the lines with calls to `rustc` (and Cargo) as recursive, which looks simpler. This is being documented as a recommendation in `rustc` [2] and allows us to be ready for the time we may use parallelism inside `rustc` (potentially now, if a user passes `-Zthreads`). Thus do so. Similarly, do the same for `rustdoc` and `cargo` calls. Finally, there is one case that the solution does not cover, which is the `$(shell ...)` call we have. Thus, for that one, set an empty `MAKEFLAGS` environment variable. Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120515 [1] Acked-by:

GCC recently added option -fmin-function-alignment, which should appear in GCC 14. Unlike -falign-functions, this option causes all functions to be aligned at the specified value, including the cold ones. In particular, when an arm64 kernel is built with DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y, the 8-byte function alignment is required for correct functionality. This was done by -falign-functions=8 and having workarounds in the kernel to force the compiler to follow this alignment. The new -fmin-function-alignment option directly guarantees it. Detect availability of -fmin-function-alignment and use it instead of -falign-functions when present. Introduce CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and enable __cold to work as expected when it is set.

It is useful to have a list of all *.dtb and *.dtbo files generated from the current build. With this commit, 'make dtbs' creates arch/*/boot/dts/dtbs-list, which lists the dtb(o) files created in the current build. It maintains the order of the dtb-y additions in Makefiles although the order is not important for DTBs. It is a (good) side effect through the reuse of the modules.order rule. Please note this list only includes the files directly added to dtb-y. For example, consider this case: foo-dtbs := foo_base.dtb foo_overlay.dtbo dtb-y := foo.dtb In this example, the list will include foo.dtb, but not foo_base.dtb or foo_overlay.dtbo. Signed-off-by:

GNU Make manual [1] clearly forbids a tab at the beginning of the conditional directive line: "Extra spaces are allowed and ignored at the beginning of the conditional directive line, but a tab is not allowed." This will not work for the next release of GNU Make, hence commit 82175d1f ("kbuild: Replace tabs with spaces when followed by conditionals") replaced the inappropriate tabs with 8 spaces. However, the 8-space indentation cannot be visually distinguished. Linus suggested 2-4 spaces for those nested if-statements. [2] This commit redoes the replacement with 4 spaces.
