Description José Pekkarinen 2022-03-28 06:11:42 UTC 
Hi,

I'm trying to build a package for sgx driver:

https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx

The package looks like:

sgx-driver.mk:

################################################################################
#
# sgx-driver
#
################################################################################

SGX_DRIVER_VERSION = 2.14
SGX_DRIVER_SOURCE = sgx_driver_$(SGX_DRIVER_VERSION).tar.gz
SGX_DRIVER_SITE = https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx-driver/archive/refs/tags
SGX_DRIVER_LICENSE = BSD-3-Clause, GPL-2.0
SGX_DRIVER_LICENSE_FILES = License.txt

$(eval $(kernel-module))
$(eval $(generic-package))

Config.in:

comment "sgx-driver needs a Linux kernel to be built"
        depends on !BR2_LINUX_KERNEL

config BR2_PACKAGE_SGX_DRIVER
        bool "sgx-driver"
        depends on BR2_LINUX_KERNEL
        help
          Intel sgx driver for secured containers.

          https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx-driver

When building with a valid config, the build process
stops like this:

WARNING: modpost: suppressed 65 unresolved symbol warnings because there were too many)
WARNING: modpost: modpost: Found 2 writable function pointers.

While the symbols can be found in the original
source code of the kernel. Am I missing something
in the package to resolv the symbols?

Thanks!

José.
Comment 1 José Pekkarinen 2022-03-29 06:07:59 UTC 
Is there any way I can set in buildroot KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN?
According to the kernel documentation it will set all errors
as warning, and this is for testing purposes only, so no matter
if it boils out.
Comment 2 José Pekkarinen 2022-03-29 06:21:17 UTC 
as a workaround I have added to the package the following line:

SGX_DRIVER_MAKE_OPTS=KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1

That allows to build and test stuff. I'm uncertain this is a
kernel bug instead of a buildroot one by now.

Comment 4 José Pekkarinen 2022-03-30 05:37:38 UTC 
I want to highlight that this may be a buildroot issue, and not
a driver, or a linux one. This is because I tried the same kernel
version on my laptop:

$ uname -r
5.15.21-hardened1

And this is the building output of the module:

 make
make -C /lib/modules/5.15.21-hardened1/build M=/home/pekkari/linux-sgx-driver-sgx_driver_2.14 modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.21-hardened1'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.21-hardened1'

and installing and loading the module I can see in dmesg:

[  233.145965] isgx: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[  233.146006] isgx: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[  233.146559] intel_sgx: the CPU is missing SGX

So symbols are in place, kernel is not wrong, module either, but
buildroot configures the linker in a way the symbols are not found.

Thanks!
Comment 5 José Pekkarinen 2022-04-07 05:18:13 UTC 
Kernel was trimminig unused symbols, removing the config
to trim them makes the module build properly. Sorry!
