Commit Message

Masahiro Yamada Aug. 12, 2020, 5:39 p.m. UTC
Currently, you need to explicitly run scripts/gen_compile_commands.py
to create compile_commands.json. It traverses the object tree
(you need to pass the -d option to deal with a separate output tree),
and parses all the .*.cmd file found.

If you rebuild the kernel over again without 'make clean', stale
.*.cmd files from older builds will create invalid entries in
compile_commands.json.

This commit wires up the compile_commands.json rule to the top
Makefile, and makes it parse .*.cmd files only from the current build
to avoid stale entries.

It is possible to extract only relevant .*.cmd files by checking
$(KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS), $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS), and modules.order.
The objects or archives linked to vmlinux are listed in
$(KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS) or $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS). All the modules are
listed in modules.order.

You can create compile_commands.json from Make:

  $ make -j$(nproc) CC=clang compile_commands.json

Of course, you can build vmlinux, modules, and compile_commands.json
all together in a single command:

  $ make -j$(nproc) CC=clang all compile_commands.json

It works also for M= builds. In this case, compile_commands.json
is created in the top directory of the external module.

I hope this will be overall improvements, but it has a drawback;
the coverage of the compile_commands.json is reduced because only
the objects linked to vmlinux or modules are handled. For example,
the following C files are not included in compile_commands.json:

 - Decompressor source files (arch/*/boot/compressed/)
 - VDSO source files
 - C files used to generate intermediates (e.g. kernel/bounds.c)
 - standalone host programs

Here is a note for out-of-tree builds. 'make compile_commands.json'
works with O= option, but please notice compile_commands.json is
created in the object tree instead of the source tree.

Some people may want to have compile_commands.json in the source tree
because Clang Tools searches for it through all parent paths of the
first input source file.

However, you cannot do it for O= builds. Kbuild should never generate
any build artifact in the source tree when O= is given because the
source tree might be read-only. Any write attempt to the source tree
is monitored and the violation may be reported. See the commit log of
8ef14c2c41d9.

So, the only possible way it to create compile_commands.json in the
object tree, then specify '-p <build-path>' when you use clang-check,
clang-tidy, etc.

Definitely a problem; happy to see compile_commands.json added to
`make clean` target, too.

Oof, for an x86_64 defconfig, the difference in line count of
compile_commands.json
before: 12826
after: 12351

That's a loss of 475 (3.7% of 12826) coverage. Is there something more
we can do to preserve this functionality, while avoiding stale .cmd
files?

Is it that those aren't specified by `$(KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS)
$(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS)` ?

So the `clean` target doesn't make use of `CLEAN_FILES`? It looks like
there's some duplication there?  Oh, this is dependent on
!KBUILD_EXTMOD, and is a new `clean` target. Do I understand that
correctly?

This comment and the one above it uses tabs for indentation vs spaces
for the rest of the file.  I use
https://github.com/nickdesaulniers/dotfiles/blob/a90865a9ea48bbefa0082f7508607fdeb361e801/.vimrc#L37-L43
to help me catch these.

Consider breaking up this one long function into multiple, perhaps the
above could just return `objects`?

`object` is a builtin Class in python.  I'm not sure if it's quite
considered a keyword, but maybe a different identifier would be nicer,
like `object_file` or something?

Thank you for your assistance and help enabling these tools.

I think some lines of 'before'
are not so important.

Files suffixed with *.mod.c
are generated sources for modules.
There is no point to check them by Clang tools.


Some entries appear twice:

For example, 'before' contains two entries of
"file": "lib/cmdline.c"
Which entry is used by 'clang-tidy lib/cmdline.c',
the first one, the second one, or both?



Having said that, there is still a loss of more than 3%, yes.

I have no idea how to do this correctly.

These variables contain only objects and archives
linked to vmlinux.




For example, VDSO is built as a prerequisite of
another object that wraps it.

See line 61 of arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile:
$(obj)/vdso.o : $(obj)/vdso.so


I do not know how to get the full list of active objects,
some of which are built on demand
in the dependency chain.


Idea 1)
Merge this series, and accept the loss.


Idea 2)
Add Makefile targets,
and also keep the previous work-flow.

When you run it from Make,
only objects for vmlinux and modules are handled.

When you need the full coverage, including non-kernel-space
sources, run scripts manually:

$ scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py
$ scripts/clang-tools/run-clang-tools.py clang-tidy


Idea 3)
Give up supporting it from Makefile.
Instead, improve gen_scripts_commands.py
as a standalone program.


Maybe we can check whether the compiler is Clang or not.
We can run '<compiler> --version' and drop the
entry if it is GCC.

Usually, the compiler is the first word of
the "command" field in compile_commands.json,
but there are exceptions because
people may do CC="ccache clang".


If there are still stale entries causing troubles,
you need to run 'make clean', and rebuild the tree.


We were trying to have separate scripts,
gen_compile_commands.py and run-clang-tools.py,
and to add Makefile targets to run them in a row.

I think unifying the two scripts
might be handier.


Add two options, -t, -a,
to scripts/gen_compile_commands.py

If they are given,
scripts/gen_compilile_commands.py
generates compile_commands.json,
and immediately runs clang-tidy against it.


-t, --tidy
   Run 'clang-tidy -checks=-*,linuxkernel-*' after generating
compilation database
-a, --analyzer
   Run 'clang-tidy -checks=-*,clang-analyzer-*' after generating
compilation database


Both -a and -t are given,
it runs
'clang-tidy -checks=-*,linuxkernel-*,clang-analyzer-*'

This works more efficiently
if you want to check everything.


'make clang-tidy clang-analyzer'
will invoke clang-tidy twice for each file,
which is not very efficient.

Correct.

We can move CLEAN_FILES to a common part
so external module builds can use it.

Right.

nargs='+' seems to work.

I thought that returning a big list causes needless memory-copy.
If we do not need to be worried too much,
I can make it a helper function.

Not a keyword, but 'object' is a class, yes.
Not sure about 'file'.


$ python

If this is a problem, I can rename it.

Do you have any idea to cope with
the 3% loss problem?

If it is a problem, maybe I should try Idea 2).
