currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be
used by kexec too. So make it compilation dependent on CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C
and this config option can be selected by CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_IKCONFIG.

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan
to post another patch series for that. Now distributions are already
signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
those signatures.
Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This
should help with two things.
- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.
- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
bypass any policy one wants to.
This patch (of 15):
Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.
So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/

c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says:
"type specifiers may occur in any order"
That means that:
short int is the same as int short
unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short
etc...
checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types.
For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by
checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int
signed short" variants are found.
Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants.
Add this misordered table to the findable types.
Warn when the misordered style is used.
This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it
depends on the correct parsing of the $Declare variable which looks for
"$Type $Ident;" (ie: declarations like "int foo;").

Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are
generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.
These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.
Emit a warning on these types of messages.
This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"
ie: this code matches:
foo = kmalloc();
if (foo == NULL) {
printk("Out of memory\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
This test is very crude and incomplete.
This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.
ie: this code does not match:
foo = kmalloc();
if (!foo) {
rtn = -ENOMEM;
printk("Out of memory!\n");
goto out;
}
This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.
spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for
that tool too.

For several years, the pattern "foo$" has effectively been treated as
equivalent to "foo" due to a bug in the (misnamed) helper
number_prefix(). This hasn't been observed to cause any problems, so
remove the broken $ functionality and change all foo$ patterns to foo.

The scripts/mod/modpost.c triggers the following warning:
scripts/mod/modpost.c: In function ‘remove_dot’:
scripts/mod/modpost.c:1710:10: warning: ignoring return value of ‘strtoul’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
The remove_dot function that calls strtoul does not care about the
numeric value of the string that is parsed but only looks for the
end of the numeric sequence. As such, it's equivalent to just skip
over all digits.

Object-like macros are different than function-like macros:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Object-like-Macros.htmlhttps://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Function-like-Macros.html
They are not parsed correctly, generating invalid intermediate
files (xmls) for cases like:
#define BIT_MASK (0xFF << BIT_SHIFT)
where "OxFF <<" is considered to be parameter type.
When parsing, we can differentiate beween these two types of macros by
checking whether there is at least one whitespace b/w "#define" and
first opening parenthesis.

We can now designate reviewers in the MAINTAINERS file with the new

These updates fix one bug in the component helper where the matched
components are not properly cleaned up when the master fails to bind.
I'll provide a version of this for stable trees if it's deemed that
we need to backport it.
The second patch causes the component helper to ignore duplicate
matches when adding components - this is something that was originally
needed for imx-drm, but since that has now been updated, we no longer
need to skip over a component which has already been matched.
The final patch starts the process of updating the component helper
API to achieve two goals: to allow the API to be more efficient when
deferred probing occurs, and to allow for future improvements to the
component helper without having a major impact on the users.
This represents groundwork for some other changes; once this has been
merged, I will then send two further pull requests (one for the staging
tree, and one for the DRM tree) to update the drivers to the new API.
This will result in these three commits being shared with those trees.
