Subject: [PATCH v9 03/11] 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() is 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 ""
            .asciz ""
            .balign 8
            .quad foo
    .previous

    .section ".export_symbol","a"
    __export_symbol_bar:
            .asciz "GPL"
            .asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE"
            .balign 8
            .quad bar
    .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.

Changes in v9:
  - Fix build error for ARC when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is enabled.
    Use ASM_NL because hard-coding instruction separator does not work
  - Change the marker format to encode the license as a string

Changes in v8:
  - Fix the definition of ____EXPORT_SYMBOL() to v7.
    It seems to cause a regression for xtensa. (reported by 0day bot)

Changes in v7:
  - Fix sparse warning reported by 0day bot
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kbuild/202305280830.Rj5ltc9M-lkp@intel.com/

Changes in v6:
  - Fix build error on UML

Changes in v5:
  - Fix build error on ARM

Changes in v4:
  - Version 3 did not work if a same name symbol exists in a different compilation unit
    Fix it.

Changes in v3:
  - Move struct kernel_symbol to kernel/module/internal.h

Changes in v2:
  - Use KSYMTAB_FUNC and KSYMTAB_DATA for functions and data, respectively
    This distinction is needed for ia64.
