Linus pointed out a third of the time in the Kconfig parse stage comes
from the single invocation of cc1plus in scripts/gcc-plugin.sh [1],
and directly testing plugin-version.h for existence cuts down the
overhead a lot. [2]
This commit takes one step further to kill the build test entirely.
The small piece of code was probably intended to test the C++ designated
initializer, which was not supported until C++20.
In fact, with -pedantic option given, both GCC and Clang emit a warning.
$ echo 'class test { public: int test; } test = { .test = 1 };' | g++ -x c++ -pedantic - -fsyntax-only
<stdin>:1:43: warning: C++ designated initializers only available with '-std=c++2a' or '-std=gnu++2a' [-Wpedantic]
$ echo 'class test { public: int test; } test = { .test = 1 };' | clang++ -x c++ -pedantic - -fsyntax-only
<stdin>:1:43: warning: designated initializers are a C++20 extension [-Wc++20-designator]
class test { public: int test; } test = { .test = 1 };
^
1 warning generated.
Otherwise, modern C++ compilers should be able to build the code, and
hopefully skipping this test should not make any practical problem.
Checking the existence of plugin-version.h is still needed to ensure
the plugin-dev package is installed. The test code is now small enough
to be embedded in scripts/gcc-plugins/Kconfig.

GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the

compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.

The complexity M of a function's control flow graph is defined as:
|
|
M = E - N + 2P
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
E = the number of edges
|
|
N = the number of nodes
|
|
P = the number of connected components (exit nodes).
|
|
|
|
Enabling this plugin reports the complexity to stderr during the
|
|
build. It mainly serves as a simple example of how to create a
|
|
gcc plugin for the kernel.

This plugin inserts a __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() call at the start of

gcc-4.5 on). It is based on the commit "Add fuzzing coverage support"

bool "Generate some entropy during boot and runtime"
|
|
help
|
|
By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
|
|
extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
|
|
program state. This will help especially embedded systems where
|
|
there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally. The cost
|
|
is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
|
|
irq processing.
|
|
|
|
Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
|
|
secure!

help
|
|
If you say Y here, the layouts of structures that are entirely
|
|
function pointers (and have not been manually annotated with
|
|
__no_randomize_layout), or structures that have been explicitly
|
|
marked with __randomize_layout, will be randomized at compile-time.
|
|
This can introduce the requirement of an additional information
|
|
exposure vulnerability for exploits targeting these structure
|
|
types.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this feature will introduce some performance impact,
|
|
slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic
|
|
tools like Volatility against the system (unless the kernel
|
|
source tree isn't cleaned after kernel installation).
|
|
|
|
The seed used for compilation is located at
|
|
scripts/gcc-plugins/randomize_layout_seed.h. It remains after
|
|
a make clean to allow for external modules to be compiled with
|
|
the existing seed and will be removed by a make mrproper or
|
|
make distclean.
|
|
|
|
Note that the implementation requires gcc 4.7 or newer.

If you say Y here, the RANDSTRUCT randomization will make a
|
|
best effort at restricting randomization to cacheline-sized
|
|
groups of elements. It will further not randomize bitfields
|
|
in structures. This reduces the performance hit of RANDSTRUCT

at the cost of weakened randomization.
