From 5febf432df1cfa5b25d99b54c32103fafbdd0eb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miguel Ojeda Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:32:33 +0200 Subject: kbuild: rust: keep Rust objects out of Clang LTO with inline helpers Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit `objtool` errors such as: vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a: can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) -- the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the `-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach. This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in its own section. Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

The initial +usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where +ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU +as it would consume too much of the kernel address space. + +A mapping object is created during driver initialization using:: + + struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base, + unsigned long size) + +'base' is the bus address of the region to be made +mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to +enable. Both are in bytes. + +This _wc variant provides a mapping which may only be used with +io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(), io_mapping_map_local_wc() or +io_mapping_map_wc(). + +With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either temporarily +or long term, depending on the requirements. Of course, temporary maps are +more efficient. They come in two flavours:: + + void *io_mapping_map_local_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping, + unsigned long offset) + + void *io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping, + unsigned long offset) + +'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region. Accessing +addresses beyond the region specified in the creation function yields +undefined results. Using an offset which is not page aligned yields an +undefined result.
