coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocatorsgrafted
- pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by
commit 7968778914e5
("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API")
- kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276
("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()")
- kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba
("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()")
- kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit
bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers")
So drop them from the rules.
No functional change.

Copyright (C) 2025 TNG Technology Consulting GmbH + +KernelSbom +========== + +Introduction +------------ + +KernelSbom is a Python script ``scripts/sbom/sbom.py`` that can be +executed after a successful kernel build. When invoked, KernelSbom +analyzes all files involved in the build and generates Software Bill of +Materials (SBOM) documents in SPDX 3.0.1 format. +The generated SBOM documents capture: + +* **Final output artifacts**, typically the kernel image and modules +* **All source files** that contributed to the build with metadata + and licensing information +* **Details of the build process**, including intermediate artifacts + and the build commands linking source files to the final output + artifacts + +KernelSbom is originally developed in the +`KernelSbom repository <https://github.com/TNG/KernelSbom>`_. + +Requirements +------------ + +Python 3.10 or later. No libraries or other dependencies are required. + +Basic Usage +----------- + +Run the ``make sbom`` target. +For example:: + + $ make defconfig O=kernel_build + $ make sbom O=kernel_build -j$(nproc) + +This will trigger a kernel build. After all build outputs have been +generated, KernelSbom produces three SPDX documents in the root +directory of the object tree: + +* ``sbom-source.spdx.json`` + Describes all source files involved in the build and + associates each file with its corresponding license expression. + +* ``sbom-output.spdx.json`` + Captures all final build outputs (kernel image and ``.ko`` module files) + and includes build metadata such as environment variables and + a hash of the ``.config`` file used for the build. + +* ``sbom-build.spdx.json`` + Imports files from the source and output documents and describes every + intermediate build artifact. For each artifact, it records the exact + build command used and establishes the relationship between + input files and generated outputs. + +When invoking the sbom target, it is recommended to perform +out-of-tree builds using ``O=<objtree>``. KernelSbom classifies files as +source files when they are located in the source tree and not in the +object tree. For in-tree builds, where the source and object trees are +the same directory, this distinction can no longer be made reliably. +In that case, KernelSbom does not generate a dedicated source SBOM. +Instead, source files are included in the build SBOM. + +Standalone Usage +---------------- + +KernelSbom can also be used as a standalone script to generate +SPDX documents for specific build outputs. For example, after a +successful x86 kernel build, KernelSbom can generate SPDX documents +for the ``bzImage`` kernel image:: + + $ SRCARCH=x86 python3 scripts/sbom/sbom.py \ + --src-tree . \ + --obj-tree ./kernel_build \ + --roots arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ + --generate-spdx \ + --generate-used-files \ + --prettify-json \ + --debug + +Note that when KernelSbom is invoked outside of the ``make`` process, +the environment variables used during compilation are not available and +therefore cannot be included in the generated SPDX documents. It is +recommended to set at least the ``SRCARCH`` environment variable to the +architecture for which the build was performed. + +For a full list of command-line options, run:: + + $ python3 scripts/sbom/sbom.py --help + +Output Format +------------- + +KernelSbom generates documents conforming to the +`SPDX 3.0.1 specification <https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v3.0.1/>`_ +serialized as JSON-LD. + +To reduce file size, the output documents use the JSON-LD ``@context`` +to define custom prefixes for ``spdxId`` values. While this is compliant +with the SPDX specification, only a limited number of tools in the +current SPDX ecosystem support custom JSON-LD contexts. To use such +tools with the generated documents, the custom JSON-LD context must +be expanded before providing the documents. +See https://lists.spdx.org/g/Spdx-tech/message/6064 for more information. + +How it Works +------------ + +KernelSbom operates in two major phases: + +1. **Generate the cmd graph**, an acyclic directed dependency graph. +2. **Generate SPDX documents** based on the cmd graph. + +KernelSbom begins from the root artifacts specified by the user, e.g., +``arch/x86/boot/bzImage``. For each root artifact, it collects all +dependencies required to build that artifact. The dependencies come +from multiple sources: + +* **.cmd files**: The primary source is the ``.cmd`` file of the + generated artifact, e.g., ``arch/x86/boot/.bzImage.cmd``. These files + contain the exact command used to build the artifact and often include + an explicit list of input dependencies. By parsing the ``.cmd`` + file, the full list of dependencies can be obtained. + +* **.incbin statements**: The second source are include binary + ``.incbin`` statements in ``.S`` assembly files. + +* **Hardcoded dependencies**: Unfortunately, not all build dependencies + can be found via ``.cmd`` files and ``.incbin`` statements. Some build + dependencies are directly defined in Makefiles or Kbuild files. + Parsing these files is considered too complex for the scope of this + project. Instead, the remaining gaps of the graph are filled using a + list of manually defined dependencies, see + ``scripts/sbom/sbom/cmd_graph/hardcoded_dependencies.py``. This list is + known to be incomplete. However, analysis of the cmd graph indicates a + ~99% completeness. For more information about the completeness analysis, + see `KernelSbom #95 <https://github.com/TNG/KernelSbom/issues/95>`_. + +Given the list of dependency files, KernelSbom recursively processes +each file, expanding the dependency chain all the way to the version +controlled source files. The result is a complete dependency graph +where nodes represent files, and edges represent "file A was used to +build file B" relationships. + +Using the cmd graph, KernelSbom produces three SPDX documents. +For every file in the graph, KernelSbom: + +* Parses ``SPDX-License-Identifier`` headers, +* Computes file hashes, +* Estimates the file type based on extension and path, +* Records build relationships between files. + +Each root output file is additionally associated with an SPDX Package +element that captures version information, license data, and copyright. + +Advanced Usage +-------------- + +Including Kernel Modules +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The list of all ``.ko`` kernel modules produced during a build can be +extracted from the ``modules.order`` file within the object tree. +For example:: + + $ echo "arch/x86/boot/bzImage" > sbom-roots.txt + $ sed 's/\.o$/.ko/' ./kernel_build/modules.order >> sbom-roots.txt + +Then use the generated roots file:: + + $ SRCARCH=x86 python3 scripts/sbom/sbom.py \ + --src-tree . \ + --obj-tree ./kernel_build \ + --roots-file sbom-roots.txt \ + --generate-spdx + +Equal Source and Object Trees +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When the source tree and object tree are identical (for example, when +building in-tree), source files can no longer be reliably distinguished +from generated files. +In this scenario, KernelSbom does not produce a dedicated +``sbom-source.spdx.json`` document. Instead, both source files and build +artifacts are included together in ``sbom-build.spdx.json``, and +``sbom.used-files.txt`` lists all files referenced in the build document. + +Unknown Build Commands +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Because the kernel supports a wide range of configurations and versions, +KernelSbom may encounter build commands in ``.cmd`` files that it does +not yet support. By default, KernelSbom will fail if an unknown build +command is encountered. + +If you still wish to generate SPDX documents despite unsupported +commands, you can use the ``--do-not-fail-on-unknown-build-command`` +option. KernelSbom will continue and produce the documents, although +the resulting SBOM will be incomplete. + +This option should only be used when the missing portion of the +dependency graph is small and an incomplete SBOM is acceptable for +your use case. diff --git a/Documentation/tools/unittest.rst b/Documentation/tools/unittest.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0fa871674 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/tools/unittest.rst @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +..
