82b8000c28 net: drop special comment style
As we discussed in the room at netdevconf earlier this week,
drop the requirement for special comment style for netdev.

For checkpatch, the general check accepts both right now, so
simply drop the special request there as well.

d5d6281ae8 checkpatch: check for missing Fixes tags
This check looks for common words that probably indicate a patch
is a fix.  For now the regex is:

	(?:(?:BUG: K.|UB)SAN: |Call Trace:|stable\@|syzkaller)/)

Why are stable patches encouraged to have a fixes tag?  Some people mark
their stable patches as "# 5.10" etc.  This is useful but a Fixes tag is
still a good idea.  For example, the Fixes tag helps in review.  It
helps people to not cherry-pick buggy patches without also
cherry-picking the fix.

Also if a bug affects the 5.7 kernel some people will round it up to
5.10+ because 5.7 is not supported on kernel.org.  It's possible the Bad
Binder bug was caused by this sort of gap where companies outside of
kernel.org are supporting different kernels from kernel.org.

Should it be counted as a Fix when a patch just silences harmless
WARN_ON() stack trace.  Yes.  Definitely.

Is silencing compiler warnings a fix?  It seems unfair to the original
authors, but we use -Werror now, and warnings break the build so let's
just add Fixes tags.  I tell people that silencing static checker
warnings is not a fix but the rules on this vary by subsystem.

Is fixing a minor LTP issue (Linux Test Project) a fix?  Probably?  It's
hard to know what to do if the LTP test has technically always been
broken.

One clear false positive from this check is when someone updated their
debug output and included before and after Call Traces.  Or when crashes
are introduced deliberately for testing.  In those cases, you should
just ignore checkpatch.

d6bb39519a checkpatch: really skip LONG_LINE_* when LONG_LINE is ignored
For a printout to happen, all types must be set to "show".  So, AND is
needed for the flags, not OR, if we want to ignore something.

b1be5844c1 scripts: checkpatch: check unused parameters for function-like macro
If function-like macros do not utilize a parameter, it might result in a
build warning.  In our coding style guidelines, we advocate for utilizing
static inline functions to replace such macros.  This patch verifies
compliance with the new rule.

For a macro such as the one below,

 #define test(a) do { } while (0)

The test result is as follows.

 WARNING: Argument 'a' is not used in function-like macro
 #21: FILE: mm/init-mm.c:20:

 	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231207134213.25631ae9@canb.auug.org.au
 or in a simpler patch form in that thread:
 	https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZXHzooF07LfQQYiE@google.com
 
 If there are issues with the merge of this file, please let me know.
 
 Other than lots of binder driver changes (as you can see by the merge
 conflicts) included in here are:
  - lots of iio driver updates and additions
  - spmi driver updates
  - eeprom driver updates
  - firmware driver updates
  - ocxl driver updates

3e7aeb78ab Networking changes for 6.8.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
    netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up
    build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes.
    This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections
    up to 40%.
 
  - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the
    memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify
    bad PP users and possible leaks.
 
  - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
    source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set.
    This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having
    many active connections to the same destination.
 
  - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
    structs.
 
  - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to
    allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF.
 
  - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value
    to 128KB and namespecifying it.
 
  - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
    RX performances with some common configurations.
 
  - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time.
 
  - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
    request the deletion of matching entries.
 
  - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
    datapath first.
 
  - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
    multicast-like behavior at the TC layer.
 
  - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
    classifiers (RSVP and tcindex).
 
  - More data-race annotations.
 
  - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets.
 
  - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions.
 
  - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
    a sub-network using a specific PAN ID.
 
  - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support.
 
  - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Tons of verifier improvements:
    - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
      test suite
    - log improvements
    - complete precision tracking support for register spills
    - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. It
      improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
      digit to 50-60% for some programs
    - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
      commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience
    - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
      transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
      like
    - several fixes
 
  - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
    mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
    now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload.
 
  - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
    kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
    BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.
 
  - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
    instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
    guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques.
 
  - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs.
 
  - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
    within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified
    by its id.
 
  - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field
    obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext.
 
  - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
    integration for the latter.
 
  - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints.
 
  - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project
    is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter).
 
 Misc
 ----
 
  - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution.
 
  - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage.
 
  - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
    undocumented features.
 
  - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to
    avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent
    runs.
 
  - Add TCP-AO self-tests.
 
  - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211.
 
  - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec.
 
  - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the
    tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families
    for which we have specs.
 
  - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes.
 
  - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
    full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
    in rust.
 
  - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
    allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
    relationship.
 
  - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
    application scale to thousands of instances.
 
  - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
    each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host.
 
  - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash.
 
  - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
    platform.
 
  - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
    netlink attribute.
 
  - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void.
 
  - Add support for PHY package MMD read/write.

9b5f621cea checkpatch: add ethtool_sprintf rules
Add some warnings for using ethtool_sprintf() where a simple
ethtool_puts() would suffice.

The two cases are:

1) Use ethtool_sprintf() with just two arguments:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, driver[i].name);
or
2) Use ethtool_sprintf() with a standalone "%s" fmt string:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, "%s", driver[i].name);

The former may cause -Wformat-security warnings while the latter is just
not preferred. Both are safely in the category of warnings, not errors.

5b2c73341a checkpatch: special case extern struct in .c
"externs should be avoided in .c files" needs an exception for linker
symbols, like those that mark the start, stop of many kernel sections.

Since checkpatch already checks REALNAME to avoid looking at fragments
changing vmlinux.lds.h, add a new else-if block to look at them
instead.  As a simple heuristic, treat all words (in the patch-line)
as possible symbols, to screen later warnings.

For my test case, the possible-symbols included BOUNDED_BY (a macro),
which is extra, but not troublesome - these are just to screen
WARNINGS that might be issued on later fragments (changing .c files)

Where the WARN is issued, precede it with an else-if block to catch
one common extern-in-c use case: "extern struct foo bar[]".  Here we
can at least issue a softer warning, after checking for a match with a
maybe-linker-symbol parsed earlier from the patch.

Though heuristic, it worked for my test-case, allowing both start__,
stop__ $symbol's (wo the prefixes specifically named).  I've coded it
narrowly, it can be expanded later to cover any other expressions.

It does require that the externs in .c's have the additions to
vmlinux.lds.h in the same patch.  And requires vmlinux.lds.h before .c
fragments.

RCU Tasks Trace is quite specialized, having been created specifically

account.  Therefore, update checkpatch.pl to complain about use of any of
the RCU Tasks Trace API members outside of BPF and outside of RCU itself.

It is difficult to make sure the link is public but at least we can verify
the tag is followed by 'http(s)://'.

With that, we avoid such a tag that is not allowed [1]:

  Closes: <number>

Now that we check the "link" tags are followed by a URL, we can relax the
check linked to "Reported-by being followed by a link tag" to only verify
if a "link" tag is present after the "Reported-by" one.

44c3188809 checkpatch: allow Closes tags with links
As a follow-up of a previous patch modifying the documentation to allow
using the "Closes:" tag, checkpatch.pl is updated accordingly.

checkpatch.pl now no longer complain when the "Closes:" tag is used by
itself:

  commit 76f381bb77 ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links")

... or after the "Reported-by:" tag:

  commit d7f1d71e5e ("checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:")

f94e40ea27 checkpatch: use a list of "link" tags
The following commit will allow the use of a similar "link" tag.

Because there is a possibility that other similar tags will be added in
the future and to reduce the number of places where the code will be
modified to allow this new tag, a list with all these "link" tags is now
used.

Two variables are created from it: one to search for such tags and one to
print all tags in a warning message.

c917a872ce checkpatch: don't print the next line if not defined
When checking if "Reported-by" tag is followed by "Link:", there is no
need to print the next line if there is no next line.

While at it, also mention in this case that the "Link:" tag should be
followed by a URL, similar to the next warning.

By doing that, the code is now similar to what is done above when checking
if the Co-developed-by tag is properly used.

Since commit 4104a20646 ("checkpatch: ignore generated CamelCase defines
and enum values") enum values like ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_Asym_Pause_BIT are
ignored.  But there are other enums like
ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_1000baseT_Full_BIT, which are not ignored because of the
not matching '1000baseT' substring.

Add regex to match all ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE enums.

1eacac3255 checkpatch: Error out if deprecated RCU API used
Single-argument kvfree_rcu() usage is being deprecated [1] [2]. However,
till all users are converted, we would like to introduce checkpatch
errors for new patches submitted.

This patch adds support for the same. Tested with a trial patch.

For now, we are only considering usages that don't have compound
nesting, for example ignore: kvfree_rcu( (rcu_head_obj), rcu_head_name).
This is sufficient as such usages are unlikely.

Once all users are converted and we remove the old API, we can also revert this
checkpatch patch then.

1916f77729 checkpatch: use proper way for show problematic line
Instead of using an unnecessarily complicated approach to print a line
that is warned about, use `$herecurr` instead, just like everywhere else
in checkpatch.

While at it, remove a superfluous space in one of the changed lines, too. 
In a unmodified line also remove a superfluous check for a space before a
signed-off-by tag, to me consistent with the check at the start of the
section.

All three problems were found by Joe Perches during review of new code
inspired by the code modified here.

d7f1d71e5e checkpatch: warn when Reported-by: is not followed by Link:
Encourage patch authors to link to reports by issuing a warning, if a
Reported-by: is not accompanied by a link to the report.  Those links are
often extremely useful for any code archaeologist that wants to know more
about the backstory of a change than the commit message provides.  That
includes maintainers higher up in the patch-flow hierarchy, which is why
Linus asks developers to add such links [1, 2, 3].  To quote [1]:

> Again, the commit has a link to the patch *submission*, which is
> almost entirely useless. There's no link to the actual problem the
> patch fixes.

> flush operations.."
>
> I don't want to know what device drivers _might_ do. I would want to
> have an actual pointer to what they do and where.

Another reason why these links are wanted: the ongoing regression tracking
efforts can only scale with them, as they allow the regression tracking
bot 'regzbot' to automatically connect tracked reports with patches that
are posted or committed to fix tracked regressions.

76f381bb77 checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links
Patch series "checkpatch.pl: warn about discouraged tags and missing Link:
tags", v4.

The first two changes make checkpatch.pl check for a few mistakes wrt to
links to bug reports Linus recently complained about a few times. 
Avoiding those is also important for my regression tracking efforts a lot,
as the automated tracking performed by regzbot relies on the proper usage
of the Link: tag.

The third patch fixes a few small oddities noticed in existing code during
review of the two changes.


This patch (of 3):

Issue a warning when encountering URLs behind unknown tags, as Linus
recently stated ```please stop making up random tags that make no sense. 
Just use "Link:"```[1].  That statement was triggered by an use of
'BugLink', but that's not the only tag people invented:

$ git log -100000 --no-merges --format=email -P \
   --grep='^\w+:[ 	]*http' | grep -Poh '^\w+:[ 	]*http' | \
  sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 20

      3 Link:http

Some of these non-standard tags make it harder for external tools that
rely on use of proper tags.  One of those tools is the regression tracking
bot 'regzbot', which looks out for "Link:" tags pointing to reports of
tracked regressions.

The initial idea was to use a disallow list to raise an error when
encountering known unwanted tags like BugLink:; during review it was
requested to use a list of allowed tags instead[2].

It was suggested by Fabio that kunmap() be marked deprecated in
checkpatch.[1] This did not seem necessary until an invalid conversion of
kmap_local_page() appeared in mainline.[2][3] The introduction of this bug
would have been flagged with kunmap() being marked deprecated.

Add kunmap() and kunmap_atomic() to checkpatch to help prevent further
confusion.

8aebac8293 Rust introduction for v6.1-rc1
The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
 
 - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
 
 - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
 
 - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
 
 - Rust kernel documentation and samples
 
 Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
 short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have contributed
 both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to

Merge tag 'rust-v6.1-rc1' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux

Pull Rust introductory support from Kees Cook:
 "The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next
  for a year and a half[1]. It's been updated based on feedback from the
  Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags.

  Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted.
  Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing
  practice once this initial infrastructure series lands.

  The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the
  kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1
  GPU[5]) on the way.

  The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:

   - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)

   - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)

   - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build

   - Rust kernel documentation and samples

  Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
  short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have
  contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream
  Rust side to support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people,
  and many more, who have been involved in all kinds of ways:

69d517e6e2 checkpatch: warn on usage of VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants
checkpatch does not point out that VM_BUG_ON() and friends should be
avoided, however, Linus notes:

    VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
    no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
    because these are less important". [1]

So let's warn on VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants as well. While at it,
make it clearer that the kernel really shouldn't be crashed.

As there are some subsystem BUG macros that actually don't end up crashing
the kernel -- for example, KVM_BUG_ON() -- exclude these manually.

and teach `checkpatch` about the comment style for Rust files.

This enables the malformed SPDX check, the misplaced SPDX license
tag check, the long line checks, the lines without a newline check
and the embedded filename check.

8ea0114eda checkpatch: handle FILE pointer type
When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error:
  ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
  #32: FILE: f.c:8:

                      ^

Fix this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type.  This is useful for
user space patches.

With this patch, we now get:

defdaff15a checkpatch: add kmap and kmap_atomic to the deprecated list
kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

kmap_local_page() is safe from any context and is therefore redundant with
kmap_atomic() with the exception of any pagefault or preemption disable
requirements.  However, using kmap_atomic() for these side effects makes
the code less clear.  So any requirement for pagefault or preemption
disable should be made explicitly.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). 
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled.  Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored.

f858e23a29 checkpatch: fix incorrect camelcase detection on numeric constant
The code fragment below

	int foo(int *array, int index)
	{
		return array[index & 0xFF];
	}

triggers an incorrect camelcase detection by checking a substring of the
hex constant:

	CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <xFF>
	#3: FILE: test.c:3:
	+	return array[index & 0xFF];

This is caused by passing the whole string "array[index & 0xFF]" to the
inner loop that iterates over a "$Ident" match.  The numeric constant is
not a $Ident as it doesn't start with [A-Za-z_] and should be excluded
from the match.

Similar issue can be detected with other constants like "1uL", "0xffffU".

Force the match to start at word boundary so the $Ident will be properly
checked starting from its first char and the constants will be
filtered-out.

c882c6b1cb checkpatch: use python3 to find codespell dictionary
Commit 0ee3e7b889 ("checkpatch: get default codespell dictionary path
from package location") introduced the ability to search for the
codespell dictionary rather than hardcoding its path.

codespell requires Python 3.6 or above, but on some systems, the python
executable is a Python 2.7 interpreter.  In this case, searching for the
dictionary fails, subsequently making codespell fail:

  No codespell typos will be found - file '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt': No such file or directory

So, use python3 to remove ambiguity.

In addition, when searching for dictionary.txt, do not check if the
codespell executable exists since,

 - checkpatch.pl only uses dictionary.txt, not the codespell
   executable.

 - codespell can be installed via a Python package manager, in which
   case the codespell executable may not be present in a typical $PATH,
   but a dictionary does exist.
