Message

Ivan Khoronzhuk Sept. 16, 2019, 10:54 a.m. UTC
This series contains mainly fixes/improvements for cross-compilation
but not only, tested for arm, arm64, but intended for any arch.
Also verified on native build (not cross compilation) for x86_64
and arm.

Initial RFC link:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/8/29/1665

Prev. version:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/10/331

Besides the patches given here, the RFC also contains couple patches
related to llvm clang
  arm: include: asm: swab: mask rev16 instruction for clang
  arm: include: asm: unified: mask .syntax unified for clang
They are necessarily to verify arm build.

The change touches not only cross-compilation and can have impact on
other archs and build environments, so might be good idea to verify
it in order to add appropriate changes, some warn options could be
tuned also.

All is tested on x86-64 with clang installed (has to be built containing
targets for arm, arm64..., see llc --version, usually it's present already)

Instructions to test native on x86_64
=================================================
Native build on x86_64 is done in usual way and shouldn't have difference
except HOSTCC is now printed as CC wile building the samples.

Instructions to test cross compilation on arm64

Based on bpf-next/master

v3..v2:
- renamed makefile.progs to makeifle.target, as more appropriate
- left only __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ for D options for arm
- for host build - left options from KBUILD_HOST for compatibility reasons
- split patch adding c/cxx/ld flags to libbpf by modules
- moved readme change to separate patch
- added patch setting options for cross-compile
- fixed issue with option error for syscall_nrs.S,
  avoiding overlap for ccflags-y.

v2..v1:
- restructured patches order
- split "samples: bpf: Makefile: base progs build on Makefile.progs"
  to make change more readable. It added couple nice extra patches.
- removed redundant patch:
  "samples: bpf: Makefile: remove target for native build"
- added fix:
  "samples: bpf: makefile: fix cookie_uid_helper_example obj build"
- limited -D option filter only for arm
- improved comments
- added couple instructions to verify cross compilation for arm and
  arm64 arches based on TI am57xx and am65xx sdks.
- corrected include a little order

With GCC BPF front-end recently added, we should probably generalize
this to something like BPF_EXTRA_CFLAGS or something like that,
eventually. But for now:

Specifying one arg per line seems like overkill, put them in one line?

Why this one?

Are these in some way special that we want them in cross-compile mode only?

All of those flags seem useful regardless of cross-compilation or not,
shouldn't they be common? I'm a bit lost about the intent here...

Thanks for these changes, they look good overall. It would be great if
someone else could test and validate that cross-compilation works not
just in your environment and generated binaries successfully run on
target machines, though...

Prefixes like "samples: bpf: makefile: " are very verbose without
adding much value. We've been converging to essentially this set of
prefixes:

- "libbpf:" for libbpf changes
- "bpftool:" for bpftool changes
- "selftests/bpf:" for bpf selftests
- "samples/bpf:" for bpf samples

There is no need to prefix with "makefile: " either. Please update
your patch subjects in the next version. Thanks!

I've explained in commit msg. The logic is to have as much as close options
to have smiliar binaries. As those options are used before for hosts and kinda
cross builds - better follow same way.

They are common but split is needed to expose it at least. Also host for
different arches can have some own opts already used that shouldn't be present
for cross, better not mix it for safety.

I'm just asking why omit frame pointers and make it harder to do stuff
like profiling? What performance benefits are we seeking for in BPF
samples?

We want -Wmissing-prototypes and -Wstrict-prototypes for cross-compile
and non-cross-compile cases, right? So let's specify them as common
set of options, instead of relying on KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS or
HOST_EXTRACFLAGS to have them. Otherwise we'll be getting extra
warnings for just cross-compile case, which is not good. If you are
worrying about having duplicate -W flags, seems like it's handled by
GCC already, so shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, lets drop omit-frame-pointer.

But then, lets do more radical step and drop
KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS & HOST_EXTRACFLAG in this patch:

-ifdef CROSS_COMPILE
+TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wall -O2
+TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wmissing-prototypes
+TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wstrict-prototypes
-else
-TPROGS_LDLIBS := $(KBUILD_HOSTLDLIBS)
-TPROGS_CFLAGS += $(KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS) $(HOST_EXTRACFLAGS)
-endif

At least it allows to use same options always for both, native and cross.

I verified on native x86_64, arm64 and arm and cross for arm and arm64,
but should work for others, at least it can be tuned explicitly and
no need to depend on KBUILD and use "cross" fork here.

Yeah, let's do this, if you confirmed that everything still works (and
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't). Thanks.

Yep, I like it.
