[PATCH v2] Kbuild: fix issues with rustc-option
Posted by Alice Ryhl 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Fix a few different compiler errors that cause rustc-option to give
wrong results.

If KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS or the flags being tested contain any -Z flags, then
the error below is generated. The RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP environment variable
is added to fix this error.

	error: the option `Z` is only accepted on the nightly compiler
	help: consider switching to a nightly toolchain: `rustup default nightly`
	note: selecting a toolchain with `+toolchain` arguments require a rustup proxy;
	      see <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/index.html>
	note: for more information about Rust's stability policy, see
	      <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html#unstable-features>
	error: 1 nightly option were parsed

The probe may also fail incorrectly with the below error message. To fix
it, the /dev/null argument is replaced with a new rust/probe.rs file
that doesn't need even the core part of the standard library.

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`
  |
  = note: the `aarch64-unknown-none` target may not be installed
  = help: consider downloading the target with `rustup target add aarch64-unknown-none`
  = help: consider building the standard library from source with `cargo build -Zbuild-std`

The -o and --out-dir parameters are altered to fix this warning:

	warning: ignoring --out-dir flag due to -o flag

I verified that the Kconfig version of rustc-option doesn't have the
same issues.

What I did in the GitHub issue was:

    echo '#![feature(no_core)]#![no_core]' | rustc ... -

to avoid a file just for this and so that things were closer (i.e. the
comment would be then in the `Makefile`).

Not sure what Masahiro prefers.

try-run is not Rust-specific.

Is there any reason why you did not add it
to __rustc-option?


__rustc-option = $(call try-run,\
       RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 $(1) $(2) $(3) --crate-type=rlib
$(srctree)/rust/probe.rs --out-dir=$$TMP,$(3),$(4))



I guess it is still suspicious because the top-level Makefile
exports RUCTC_BOOTSTRAP.

I had an explanation for this in the commit message, but it looks like
it got lost when I rewrote it for v2. Anyway, the reason is that I'd
have to modify both __rustc-option and rustc-option-yn to do that, and
putting it here seemed more future-proof against making the same
mistake in any rustc-* commands added in the future.

But I realize that it's not clear-cut. I'm happy to move it if you prefer,
or perhaps add a try-run-rust. Let me know what you think.

> I guess it is still suspicious because the top-level Makefile

Moving the declaration of RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP to the top of the Makefile
seems to fix it. I guess moving it is probably a better solution than
adding it in scripts/Makefile.compiler.

Not that I really understand why that is. The existing invocations are
in scripts/Makefile.kasan which is invoked after RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP is
declared.

One solution is to delete rustc-option-yn since there are no users of it.

Another solution is to refactor the code.

Either way, there is no good reason for code duplication.


If you keep rustc-option-yn, you can rebased v3 on top of this patch:

I prefer to keep RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP close to other compiler flags.

I'll rebase on top of that. If we choose to delete rustc-option-yn
then I think we should first merge the refactor and then delete it in
a follow-up. That way, when someone does need it, they will find the
refactored implementation in the git history.

Posted by Matthew Maurer 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Thanks for catching this - I had a specialized toolchain enabled which
didn't exercise the `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` issue, and without an unexpected
failure, didn't see the `--out-dir` flag conflict after I got the
request to add it.

Posted by Matthew Maurer 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Err, slight amendment - I think you want `-o $$TMP`, and not
`--out-dir $$TMPOUT`

You definitely don't want `--out-dir $$TMP`, but the other two
settings above would be defensible.

We need the `--out-dir` to avoid temporary files being created in the
current working directory.

In that case we should omit `-o $$TMP`, because `rustc` is emitting a
warning that it's ignoring `--out-dir` because `-o` is set.

Yes, we need to omit `-o` or we could use `--out-dir` together with
one of the `--emit=X=...` types to be more explicit and avoid building
the `.rlib`, which is what I did in the GitHub issue.

IIRC I used `obj` to run most of the compiler stages just in case that
mattered, but perhaps an even simpler one is good enough, e.g.
`metadata`.

I think just `--out-dir` should be fine and is simpler for this use
case. However, apparently outputting to stdout works too, so we could
do:

    --emit=obj=- - >/dev/null

and avoid the output file altogether. We still most likely need the
`--out-dir` in case temporaries are created.

Cheers,
Miguel

Miguel, can you link this issue? I don't think I saw it.

Masahiro, are you able to clarify how to pass TMPOUT to rustc?

__rustc-option = $(call try-run2,\
       $(1) $(2) $(3) --crate-type=rlib $(srctree)/rust/probe.rs
--out-dir=$(TMPOUT),$(3),$(4))

Should I use $(TMPOUT) or $$TMPOUT for this case? Right now, only TMP
is defined inside try-run. I am assuming that there is a reason for
having TMP be defined in try-run, rather than just using $(TMP)
everywhere. Does the same reason apply to TMPOUT? Should I add a
TMPOUT=$(TMPOUT) inside try-run?

`TMPOUT` is defined already in that `Makefile`, thus you can directly
expand it. However, `TMP` is defined inside the `shell` function, and
thus `$$TMP` is used so that that script (inside the `shell`) expands
it instead.

This is why Masahiro was saying that the `TMPOUT=$(TMPOUT)` was
unnecessary, i.e. it would work, but we can just expand it directly.

Something like this, combining everything [1] seems to work for me.

i.e. passing the file inline, `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1`, avoiding an output
file, keeping `--out-dir` for intermediates files. I added using a
null sysroot too (and skipping if already given, since that is an
error).

I will test it a bit more with KASAN etc.

Cheers,
Miguel

Could you please add a comment line to remember the future clean-up?

e.g.

# TODO: remove RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 when we raise the minimum GNU Make
version to 4.4



I also like the commit description to record that
RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 is needed for GNU Make prier to commit 98da874c4303
("[SV 10593] Export variables to $(shell ...) commands"), i.e.,
GNU Make 4.3 or older.

Yes. I like --out-dir=$(TMPOUT)

Ah good point. It seems like the reason that `--out-dir $$TMP` still
works is that it creates a sub-directory. But I agree that this is not
what we want.
