Every EXPORT_SYMBOL creates __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_*, which
consumes 15-20% of the kallsyms entries.
For example, on the system built from the x86_64 defconfig,
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | wc
129527 388581 5685465
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep __kstrtab | wc
23489 70467 1187932
We already ignore __crc_* symbols populated by EXPORT_SYMBOL, so it
should be fine to ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* as well.
This makes vmlinux a bit smaller.

scripts/mksysmap internally runs ${NM} (dropping some symbols).
When CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, mksysmap creates .tmp_System.map, but it is
almost the same as the output from the ${NM} invocation in kallsyms().
It is true scripts/mksysmap drops some symbols, but scripts/kallsyms.c
ignores more anyway.

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.
A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.
I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.
I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.
This commit gets rid of the latter.
Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.
With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.
There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.
$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.
When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.
However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.
To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:
[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
include/generated/compile.h
include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.
[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
from init/version.c
init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
timestamp.

The AWK code was added to deduplicate modules.order in case $(obj-m)
contains the same module multiple times, but it is actually unneeded
since commit b2c8855491 ("kbuild: update modules.order only when
contained modules are updated").
The list is already deduplicated before being processed by AWK because
$^ is the deduplicated list of prerequisites.
(Please note the real-prereqs macro uses $^)
Yet, modules.order will contain duplication if two different Makefiles
build the same module:
foo/Makefile:
obj-m += bar/baz.o
foo/bar/Makefile:
obj-m += baz.o
However, the parallel builds cannot properly handle this case in the
first place. So, it is better to let it fail (as already done by
scripts/modules-check.sh).

When receiving some signal, GNU Make automatically deletes the target if
it has already been changed by the interrupted recipe.
If the target is possibly incomplete due to interruption, it must be
deleted so that it will be remade from scratch on the next run of make.
Otherwise, the target would remain corrupted permanently because its
timestamp had already been updated.
Thanks to this behavior of Make, you can stop the build any time by
pressing Ctrl-C, and just run 'make' to resume it.
Kbuild also relies on this feature, but it is equivalently important
for any build systems that make decisions based on timestamps (if you
want to support Ctrl-C reliably).
However, this does not always work as claimed; Make immediately dies
with Ctrl-C if its stderr goes into a pipe.
[Test Makefile]
foo:
echo hello > $@
sleep 3
echo world >> $@
[Test Result]
$ make # hit Ctrl-C
echo hello > foo
sleep 3
^Cmake: *** Deleting file 'foo'
make: *** [Makefile:3: foo] Interrupt
$ make 2>&1 | cat # hit Ctrl-C
echo hello > foo
sleep 3
^C$ # 'foo' is often left-over
The reason is because SIGINT is sent to the entire process group.
In this example, SIGINT kills 'cat', and 'make' writes the message to
the closed pipe, then dies with SIGPIPE before cleaning the target.
A typical bad scenario (as reported by [1], [2]) is to save build log
by using the 'tee' command:
$ make 2>&1 | tee log
This can be problematic for any build systems based on Make, so I hope
it will be fixed in GNU Make. The maintainer of GNU Make stated this is
a long-standing issue and difficult to fix [3]. It has not been fixed
yet as of writing.
So, we cannot rely on Make cleaning the target. We can do it by
ourselves, in signal traps.
As far as I understand, Make takes care of SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and
SITERM for the target removal. I added the traps for them, and also for
SIGPIPE just in case cmd_* rule prints something to stdout or stderr
(but I did not observe an actual case where SIGPIPE was triggered).
[Note 1]
The trap handler might be worth explaining.
rm -f $@; trap - $(sig); kill -s $(sig) $$
This lets the shell kill itself by the signal it caught, so the parent
process can tell the child has exited on the signal. Generally, this is
a proper manner for handling signals, in case the calling program (like
Bash) may monitor WIFSIGNALED() and WTERMSIG() for WCE although this may
not be a big deal here because GNU Make handles SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT
in WUE and SIGTERM in IUE.
IUE - Immediate Unconditional Exit
WUE - Wait and Unconditional Exit
WCE - Wait and Cooperative Exit
For details, see "Proper handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT" [4].
[Note 2]
Reverting 392885ee82 ("kbuild: let fixdep directly write to .*.cmd
files") would directly address [1], but it only saves if_changed_dep.
As reported in [2], all commands that use redirection can potentially
leave an empty (i.e. broken) target.
[Note 3]
Another (even safer) approach might be to always write to a temporary
file, and rename it to $@ at the end of the recipe.
<command> > $(tmp-target)
mv $(tmp-target) $@
It would require a lot of Makefile changes, and result in ugly code,
so I did not take it.
[Note 4]
A little more thoughts about a pattern rule with multiple targets (or
a grouped target).
%.x %.y: %.z
<recipe>
When interrupted, GNU Make deletes both %.x and %.y, while this solution
only deletes $@. Probably, this is not a big deal. The next run of make
will execute the rule again to create $@ along with the other files.

-Wformat was recently re-enabled for builds with clang, then quickly
re-disabled, due to concerns stemming from the frequency of default

commit 258fafcd06 ("Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang")
commit 21f9c8a13b ("Revert "Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang"")
ISO WG14 has ratified N2562 to address default argument promotion
explicitly for printf, as part of the upcoming ISO C2X standard.
The behavior of clang was changed in clang-16 to not warn for the cited
cases in all language modes.
Add a version check, so that users of clang-16 now get the full effect
of -Wformat. For older clang versions, re-enable flags under the
-Wformat group that way users still get some useful checks related to
format strings, without noisy default argument promotion warnings. I
intentionally omitted -Wformat-y2k and -Wformat-security from being
re-enabled, which are also part of -Wformat in clang-16.

other than treewide clean-ups.
There are no users within the kernel tree, and probably no out-of-tree

Delete this obsolete gcc-ld script.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

There is a test in powerpc's Kconfig which checks __LONG_DOUBLE_128__
and sets CONFIG_PPC_LONG_DOUBLE_128 if it is understood by the compiler.
We currently don't handle it, so this results in PPC_LONG_DOUBLE_128 not
being in super-config generated by dummy-tools. So take this into
account in the gcc script and preprocess __LONG_DOUBLE_128__ as "1".

Since commit 7b4537199a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link,
removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS"), module versioning is broken on
some architectures. Loading a module fails with "disagrees about
version of symbol module_layout".
On such architectures (e.g. ARCH=sparc build with sparc64_defconfig),
modpost shows a warning, like follows:
WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "_mcount" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
Is "_mcount" prototyped in <asm/asm-prototypes.h>?
Previously, it was a harmless warning (CRC check was just skipped),
but now wrong CRCs are used for comparison because invalid CRCs are
just skipped.
$ sparc64-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux

0000000000c53b48 D __crc__raw_read_lock_bh
Please notice __crc__mcount is missing here.
When the module subsystem looks up a CRC that comes after, it results
in reading out a wrong address. For example, when __crc__printk is
needed, the module subsystem reads 0xc53b44 instead of 0xc53b40.
All CRC entries must be output for correct index accessing. Invalid
CRCs will be unused, but are needed to keep the one-to-one mapping
between __ksymtab_* and __crc_*.
The best is to fix all modpost warnings, but several warnings are still
remaining on less popular architectures.

Commit 36d4b36b69 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.
This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.
This leads to the following:

This reverts commit 258fafcd06.
The clang -Wformat warning is terminally broken, and the clang people
can't seem to get their act together.
This test program causes a warning with clang:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
}
resulting in
t.c:5:19: warning: format specifies type 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Wformat]
printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
~~~~ ^~~
%d
and apparently clang people consider that a feature, because they don't
want to face the reality of how either C character constants, C
arithmetic, and C varargs functions work.
The rest of the world just shakes their head at that kind of
incompetence, and turns off -Wformat for clang again.
And no, the "you should use a pointless cast to shut this up" is not a
valid answer. That warning should not exist in the first place, or at
least be optinal with some "-Wformat-me-harder" kind of option.
[ Admittedly, there's also very little reason to *ever* use '%hh[ud]' in
C, but what little reason there is is entirely about 'I want to see
only the low 8 bits of the argument'. So I would suggest nobody ever
use that format in the first place, but if they do, the clang
behavious is simply always wrong. Because '%hhu' takes an 'int'. It's
that simple. ]

For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes
effort. This is becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code
split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect
to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future.
The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and
Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted
a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this
misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should
be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually
hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up
spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect
misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are
dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info
regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored)
this really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page()
and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the
virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module
decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which has
been there for 3 weeks.

really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
preemption. This is only used on module decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
has been there for 3 weeks"
* tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux:
module: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()
module: Show the last unloaded module's taint flag(s)
module: Use strscpy() for last_unloaded_module
module: Modify module_flags() to accept show_state argument
module: Move module's Kconfig items in kernel/module/
MAINTAINERS: Update file list for module maintainers
module: Use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc()/memset(0)
modules: Ensure natural alignment for .altinstructions and __bug_table sections
module: Increase readability of module_kallsyms_lookup_name()
module: Fix ERRORs reported by checkpatch.pl
module: Add support for default value for module async_probe
The changes are as follows:
* Update the semantic patches in the kernel that contain a URL for
Coccinelle with a URL that is currently valid (from myself).
* Add a semantic patch checking for unnecessary NULL tests on dev_{put,
hold} functions (from Ziyang Xuan, followed bt a modification from
myself).
* Drop a semantic patch that replaces 0/1 by booleans, as this change was
considered to be not worthwhile by some maintainers (from Steve Rostedt).
* Extend an existing semantic patch with more checks for useless tests on
variables addresses (from Jérémy Lefaure).
