Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING
are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in
list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the
output of --list-types.
Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are
passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too.
So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

The variable name "$msg_type" is sometimes used to set the message type,
and sometimes used to set the message level. This works but is kind of
confusing. Use "$msg_level" in the latter case instead, to make the code
clearer.

I had stupidly missed one special use of 'is_reserved_word()' when I
converted the code to avoid gperf.
I had changed that function to return the token ID directly rather than
a pointer to the token descriptor structure, but that meant that the
test for "is this a reserved word" changed from checking the return
value against NULL, to checking that it wasn't negative.
And while I had converted the main token parser over, I missed the
special case of the typeof phrase handling. And since our dependency
chain for genksyms does not include the genksyms program itself
changing, my kernel rebuild didn't show the problem.

Only the media PDF book was requiring adjustbox, in order to
scale big tables. That worked pretty good with Sphinx versions
1.4 and 1.5, but Spinx 1.6 changed the way tables are produced,
by introducing some weird macros before tabulary.
That causes adjustbox to fail. So, it can't be used anymore,
and its usage was removed from the media book.
So, let's remove it from conf.py and sphinx-pre-install.

Remove our use of 'gperf' for generating perfect hashes from some of our
build tools.
This removal was prompted by Masahiro Yamada sending out a patch that
removes all our pre-generated files, and when I tested it, I noticed
that the gperf version I have (3.1) apparently generates code that no
longer works with out code-base because the function interfaces
generated by gperf have changed.
We really don't care that much, and the gperf people changed their
interfaces in ways that makes it annoying to work with them. Tools that
make it hard to use them should not be used, and the kernel is not at
all interested in some autoconf mess. So remove the gperf dependency
entirely.
It turns out that if you ignore the pre-generated files, the use of
gperf apparently saved us a whopping fifteen lines of code. It
obviously wasn't worth it, considering that the pre-generated files are
about 500 lines.
I sent this out as a patch about three weeks ago, and got absolutely
zero responses. So let's see if anybody notices now that I merge it.
Because there might be serious bugs here, but it WorksForMe(tm).
* gperf-removal:
Remove gperf usage from toolchain
that are entirely function pointers (along with a couple designated
initializer fixes).
- For the structleak plugin, provide an option to perform zeroing
initialization of all otherwise uninitialized stack variables that are
passed by reference (Ard Biesheuvel).

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
its removal. (Juergen Gross)

dtc uses an incorrect format specifier for printing a uint64_t value.
uint64_t may be either 'unsigned long' or 'unsigned long long' depending
on the host architecture.
Fix this by using %llx and casting to unsigned long long, which ensures
that we always have a wide enough variable to print 64 bits of hex.

Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::
struct something {
struct foo
bar;
};
has to be::
struct something {struct foo bar;};
Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::
struct something {struct foobar;};
Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::
warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'
Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).

Since commit d5d332d3f7 ("devicetree: Move include prefixes from
arch to separate directory"), cross-arch DT reference works well,
but only for CPP style #include directives.
It makes as much sense to share DT between different architectures
by using DTC's /include/ directives.
So, scripts/dtc/include-prefixes should be passed to both CPP and DTC.
I refactored Makefile.lib a bit to not repeat the same path.

Having arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts as an include search path is not
very useful these days because some architectures such as ARM64,
MIPS have no DT in this directory. Instead, they have DT in vendor
sub-directories.
With some DT files in ARM and PowerPC fixed, we can now drop this
include search path.

This search path was added by commit b5190516b2 ("of: Move testcase
FDT data into drivers/of"). At that time, it was needed for platform
DT files to include testcase data.
It became unnecessary when commit ae9304c9d3 ("Adding selftest
testdata dynamically into live tree") introduced dynamic addition of
testcase data, but it missed to delete this search path.
Moreover, the directory drivers/of/testcase-data does not exist since
commit 19fd74879a ("of/unittest: Rename selftest.c to unittest.c").

This definition in Makefile.dtbinst:
export dtbinst-root ?= $(obj)
should define and export dtbinst-root when handling the root dts
directory, and do nothing in the subdirectories. However some shells,
including dash, will not pass through environment variables whose name
includes a hyphen. Usually GNU make does not use a shell to recurse,
but if e.g. $(srctree) contains '~' it will use a shell here.
Rename the variable to dtbinst_root.

RHEL 7.x and clone distros are shipped with Sphinx 1.1.x,
with is incompatible with Kernel ReST markups.
So, on those systems, the only alternative is to install
it via a Python virtual environment.
While seeking for "pip" on CentOS 7.3, I noticed that it
is not really needed, as python-virtualenv has its version
packaged there already. So, remove this from the list of
requirements for all distributions.
With regards to PDF, we need at least texlive-tabulary
extension, but that is not shipped there (at least on
CentOS). So, disable PDF packages as a whole.
Please notice, however, that texlive + amsmath is needed for
ReST to properly handle ReST ".. math::" tags. Yet, Sphinx
fall back to display the LaTeX math expressions as-is, if
such extension is not available.
So, let's just disable all texlive packages as a whole.

In the Linux kernel, struct type variables are rarely passed by-value,
and so functions that initialize such variables typically take an input
reference to the variable rather than returning a value that can
subsequently be used in an assignment.
If the initalization function is not part of the same compilation unit,
the lack of an assignment operation defeats any analysis the compiler
can perform as to whether the variable may be used before having been
initialized. This means we may end up passing on such variables
uninitialized, resulting in potential information leaks.
So extend the existing structleak GCC plugin so it will [optionally]
apply to all struct type variables that have their address taken at any
point, rather than only to variables of struct types that have a __user
annotation.

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.
However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.
As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.
Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.
Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.
