2012-10-10MODSIGN: Sign modules during the build processDavid Howells
If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, then this patch will cause all modules files to to have signatures added. The following steps will occur: (1) The module will be linked to foo.ko.unsigned instead of foo.ko (2) The module will be stripped using both "strip -x -g" and "eu-strip" to ensure minimal size for inclusion in an initramfs. (3) The signature will be generated on the stripped module. (4) The signature will be appended to the module, along with some information about the signature and a magic string that indicates the presence of the signature. Step (3) requires private and public keys to be available. By default these are expected to be found in files: signing_key.priv signing_key.x509 in the base directory of the build. The first is the private key in PEM form and the second is the X.509 certificate in DER form as can be generated from openssl: openssl req \ -new -x509 -outform PEM -out signing_key.x509 \ -keyout signing_key.priv -nodes \ -subj "/CN=H2G2/O=Magrathea/CN=Slartibartfast" If the secret key is not found then signing will be skipped and the unsigned module from (1) will just be copied to foo.ko. If signing occurs, lines like the following will be seen: LD [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.unsigned STRIP [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.stripped SIGN [M] fs/foo/foo.ko will appear in the build log. If the signature step will be skipped and the following will be seen: LD [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.unsigned STRIP [M] fs/foo/foo.ko.stripped NO SIGN [M] fs/foo/foo.ko NOTE! After the signature step, the signed module _must_not_ be passed through strip. The unstripped, unsigned module is still available at the name on the LD [M] line. This restriction may affect packaging tools (such as rpmbuild) and initramfs composition tools. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2010-08-03kbuild: allow assignment to {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE on the command lineSam Ravnborg
It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD on the command line - which is only used when building modules. {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules without overriding the original value. Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE that is used by arch specific files and free up {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on the command line. All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated. Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped. So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by two assignmnets. Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage from this.

As external modules often do: ccflags-y := -I$(src) We had problems because $(src) was unassinged and gcc then used the next parameter for -I resulting in strange build failures.

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency check where it is checked that the size of a structure in the kernel and on the build host are the same.

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

2007-07-17kbuild: do section mismatch check on full vmlinuxSam Ravnborg
Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across the .o files. Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed. The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.

2006-06-09kconfig: fix .config dependenciesRoman Zippel
This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make not to reread the changed .config file. Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from .config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus replaces include/linux/autoconf.h). This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
