The compat vDSO building requires a cross-compiler than produces AArch32 binaries, defined via CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO or the CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT environment variable. If none of these is defined, building the kernel always prints a warning as there is no way to deselect the compat vDSO.
Add an arm64 Kconfig entry to allow the deselection of the compat vDSO. In addition, make it an EXPERT option, default n, until other issues with the compat vDSO are solved (64-bit only kernel headers included in user-space vDSO code, CC_IS_CLANG irrelevant to CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT). Fixes: bfe801ebe84f ("arm64: vdso: Enable vDSO compat support") Cc: Will Deacon <w...@kernel.org> Cc: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frasc...@arm.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.mari...@arm.com> --- It looks like you can't really win with the current compat vDSO logic. You either don't have a compat cross-compiler and you get a Makefile warning or you have one and a get a compiler warning (or failure) because of the 64-bit kernel headers included in 32-bit user-space code. "depends on BROKEN" for ARM64_COMPAT_VDSO also work for me instead of EXPERT. I'll leave it up to Will to decide but I'd like at least this patch in -rc2 (even better if everything else is fixed before the final 5.4). Suggestions for future improvements of the compat vDSO handling: - replace the CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT prefix with a full COMPATCC; maybe check that it indeed produces 32-bit code - check whether COMPATCC is clang or not rather than CC_IS_CLANG, which only checks the native compiler - clean up the headers includes; vDSO should not include kernel-only headers that may even contain code patched at run-time arch/arm64/Kconfig | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/arm64/Kconfig b/arch/arm64/Kconfig index 866e05882799..83a9a78085c6 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm64/Kconfig @@ -110,7 +110,6 @@ config ARM64 select GENERIC_STRNLEN_USER select GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL select GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY - select GENERIC_COMPAT_VDSO if (!CPU_BIG_ENDIAN && COMPAT) select HANDLE_DOMAIN_IRQ select HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND select HAVE_PCI @@ -1185,6 +1184,15 @@ config KUSER_HELPERS Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not need these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y. +config ARM64_COMPAT_VDSO + bool "Enable the 32-bit vDSO" if EXPERT + depends on !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN + select GENERIC_COMPAT_VDSO + help + Enable the vDSO support for 32-bit applications.
