Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add support for 'syn'.
Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.
Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.
'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.
'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io), and
it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount of code
is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for these
crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big, e.g. +7k
-3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.
'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided scripts.
They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.
Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.
- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for doctests.
Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public items
and use names such as 'foo'.
Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code as
possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is important
for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust does not
support yet but we are stricter).
'kernel' crate:
- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.
Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension trait
and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core' import.
This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.
- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.
C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:
c"hi"
instead of:
c_str!("hi")
- Add 'num' module for numerical features.
It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.
It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' less significant bits of the wrapped
type to be encoded:
// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>:🆕:<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);
'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Values can be constructed from simple non-constant expressions or,
for more complex ones, validated at runtime.
'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations (with
both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a compatible
backing type), casts to change the backing type, extending/shrinking
and infallible/fallible conversions from/to primitives as applicable.
- 'rbtree' module: add immutable cursor ('Cursor').
It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where appropriate.
The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed to 'CursorMut'.
kallsyms:
- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.
'pin-init' crate:
- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).
Documentation:
- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).
Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.
We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version in
Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the first
one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add entry for the new 'num' module.
- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to contribute
for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in practice.
And a few other cleanups and improvements.

This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b checksums.
With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have library
APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code and
BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by default.
The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved as well.

- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build
script to generate livepatch modules using a
source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree
kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for
many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels.
However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates
hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve
the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
specials such as alternatives:

Merge tag 'namespace-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests
- Pagination and stress tests
- EFAULT handling test
- nsid tests fixes"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
sync.
- Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().
- Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"

With all the new files in place and ready from the new crate, enable
the support for it in the build system.
`proc_macro_byte_character` and `proc_macro_c_str_literals` were
stabilized in Rust 1.79.0 [1] and were implemented earlier than our
minimum Rust version (1.78) [2][3]. Thus just enable them instead of using
the `cfg` that `proc-macro2` uses to emulate them in older compilers.
In addition, skip formatting for this vendored crate and take the chance
to add a comment mentioning this.

We need to handle `cfg`s in both `rustc` and `rust-analyzer`, and in
future commits some of those contain double quotes, which complicates
things further.
Thus, instead of removing the `--cfg ` part in the rust-analyzer
generation script, have the `*-cfgs` variables contain just the actual
`cfg`, and use that to generate the actual flags in `*-flags`.

One can debug BPF programs with QEMU gdbstub by setting a breakpoint on
bpf_prog_kallsyms_add(), waiting for a hit with a matching aux.name, and
then setting a breakpoint on bpf_func. This is tedious, error-prone, and
also lacks line numbers.
Automate this in a way similar to the existing support for modules in
lx-symbols.
Enumerate and monitor changes to both BPF kallsyms and JITed progs. For
each ksym, generate and compile a synthetic .s file containing the name,
code, and size. In addition, if this ksym is also a prog, and not a
trampoline, add line number information.
Ensure that this is a no-op if the kernel is built without BPF support or
if "as" is missing. In theory the "as" dependency may be dropped by
generating the synthetic .o file manually, but this is too much complexity
for too little benefit.
Now one can debug BPF progs out of the box like this:
(gdb) lx-symbols -bpf
(gdb) b bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add
Breakpoint 2 (bpf_prog_4e612a6a881a086b_arena_list_add) pending.
# ./test_progs -t arena_list

Patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB",
v2.
This series greatly simplifies debugging BPF progs when using QEMU gdbstub
by providing symbol names, sizes, and line numbers to GDB.
Patch 1 adds radix tree iteration, which is necessary for parsing
prog_idr. Patch 2 is the actual implementation; its description contains
some details on how to use this.
This patch (of 2):
Add a function and a command to iterate over radix tree contents.
Duplicate the C implementation in Python, but drop support for tagging.

It is possible that the kernel toolchain generates warnings when used
together with the system toolchain. This happens for example when the
older kernel toolchain does not handle new versions of sframe debug
information. While these warnings where ignored during the evaluation
of CC_CAN_LINK, together with CONFIG_WERROR the actual userprog build
will later fail.
Example warning:
.../x86_64-linux/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-linux/bin/ld:
error in /lib/../lib64/crt1.o(.sframe); no .sframe will be created
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Make sure that the very simple example program does not generate
warnings already to avoid breaking the userprog compilations.

And it makes sense, because after expansion it ends up like this:

So add another set of double quotes to surround whatever CC expands to

Starting with Rust 1.91.0 (released 2025-10-30), in upstream commit
ab91a63d403b ("Ignore intrinsic calls in cross-crate-inlining cost model")
[1][2], `bindings.o` stops containing DWARF debug information because the
`Default` implementations contained `write_bytes()` calls which are now
ignored in that cost model (note that `CLIPPY=1` does not reproduce it).
This means `gendwarfksyms` complains:
RUSTC L rust/bindings.o
error: gendwarfksyms: process_module: dwarf_get_units failed: no debugging information?
There are several alternatives that would work here: conditionally
skipping in the cases needed (but that is subtle and brittle), forcing
DWARF generation with e.g. a dummy `static` (ugly and we may need to
do it in several crates), skipping the call to the tool in the Kbuild
command when there are no exports (fine) or teaching the tool to do so
itself (simple and clean).
Thus do the last one: don't attempt to process files if we have no symbol
versions to calculate.
[ I used the commit log of my patch linked below since it explained the
root issue and expanded it a bit more to summarize the alternatives.

This prevents tools like clangd from working properly on text-included c
files, such as kernel/sched/ext.c because the generated compile_commands.json
does not have entries for them.
Extend process_line() to detect when a source file includes .c files, and
generate additional compile_commands.json entries for them. For included c
files, use the same compile flags as their parent and add their parents headers.

When building out-of-tree modules with CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE=y,
module signing fails because the private key path uses $(srctree)
while the public key path uses $(objtree). Since signing keys are
generated in the build directory during kernel compilation, both
paths should use $(objtree) for consistency.
This causes SSL errors like:
SSL error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory
sign-file: /kernel-src/certs/signing_key.pem
The issue occurs because:
- sig-key uses: $(srctree)/certs/signing_key.pem (source tree)
- cmd_sign uses: $(objtree)/certs/signing_key.x509 (build tree)
But both keys are generated in $(objtree) during the build.
This complements commit 25ff08aa43 ("kbuild: Fix signing issue for
external modules") which fixed the scripts path and public key path,
but missed the private key path inconsistency.
Fixes out-of-tree module signing for configurations with separate

After commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"), running modules_install with certain
versions of kmod (such as 29.1 in Ubuntu Jammy) in certain
configurations may fail with:
depmod: ERROR: kmod_builtin_iter_next: unexpected string without modname prefix
The additional padding bytes to ensure .modinfo is aligned within
vmlinux.unstripped are unexpected by kmod, as this section has always
just been null-terminated strings.
Strip the trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo after it
has been extracted from vmlinux.unstripped to restore the format that
kmod expects while keeping .modinfo aligned within vmlinux.unstripped to
avoid regressing the Authenticode calculation fix for EDK2.

When kernel-doc parses the sections for the documentation some errors
may occur. In many cases the warning is simply stored to the current
"entry" object. However, in the most of such cases this object gets
discarded and there is no way for the output engine to even know about
that. To avoid that, check if the "entry" is going to be discarded and
if there warnings have been collected, issue them to the current logger
as is and then flush the "entry". This fixes the problem that original
Perl implementation doesn't have.
As of Linux kernel v6.18-rc4 the reproducer can be:
$ scripts/kernel-doc -v -none -Wall include/linux/util_macros.h

Our documentation-related tools are spread out over various directories;
several are buried in the scripts/ dumping ground. That makes them harder
to discover and harder to maintain.
Recent work has started accumulating our documentation-related tools in
/tools/docs. This series nearly completes that task, moving most of the
rest of our various utilities there, hopefully fixing up all of the
relevant references in the process.
The one exception is scripts/kernel-doc; that move turned up some other
problems, so I have dropped it until those are ironed out.
At the end, rather than move the old, Perl kernel-doc, I simply removed it.

The python version of the kernel-doc parser emits some strange warnings
with just a line number in certain cases:
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc -Wall -none 'include/linux/virtio_config.h'
Warning: 174
Warning: 184
Warning: 190
Warning: include/linux/virtio_config.h:226 No description found for return value of '__virtio_test_bit'

Warning: include/linux/virtio_config.h:392 No description found for return value of 'virtqueue_set_affinity'
I eventually tracked this down to the lone call of emit_msg() in the
KernelEntry class, which looks like:
self.emit_msg(self.new_start_line, f"duplicate section name '{name}'\n")
This looks like all the other emit_msg calls. Unfortunately, the definition
within the KernelEntry class takes only a message parameter and not a line
number. The intended message is passed as the warning!
Pass the filename to the KernelEntry class, and use this to build the log
message in the same way as the KernelDoc class does.
To avoid future errors, mark the warning parameter for both emit_msg
definitions as a keyword-only argument. This will prevent accidentally
passing a string as the warning parameter in the future.
Also fix the call in dump_section to avoid an unnecessary additional
newline.

Add FIPS cryptographic algorithm self-tests for all SHA-1 and SHA-2
algorithms. Following the "Implementation Guidance for FIPS 140-3"
document, to achieve this it's sufficient to just test a single test
vector for each of HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, and HMAC-SHA512.
Just run these tests in the initcalls, following the example of e.g.
crypto/kdf_sp800108.c. Note that this should meet the FIPS self-test
requirement even in the built-in case, given that the initcalls run
before userspace, storage, network, etc. are accessible.
This does not fix a regression, seeing as lib/ has had SHA-1 support
since 2005 and SHA-256 support since 2018. Neither ever had FIPS
self-tests. Moreover, fips=1 support has always been an unfinished
feature upstream. However, with lib/ now being used more widely, it's
now seeing more scrutiny and people seem to want these now [1][2].

In order for tracepoint-update.c to work with modules, it cannot error out
if both "__tracepoint_check" and "__tracepoints_strings" are not found.
When enabled, the vmlinux.o may be required to have both, but modules only
have these sections if they have tracepoints. Modules without tracepoints
will not have either. They should not fail to build because of that.
If one section exists the other one should too. Note, if a module defines
a tracepoint but doesn't use any, it can cause this to fail.
Add a new "--module" parameter to tracepoint-update to be used when
running on module code. It will not error out if this is set and both
sections are missing. If this is set, and only the "__tracepoint_check"
section is missing, it means the module has defined tracepoints but none
of them are used. In that case, it prints a warning that the module has
only unused tracepoints and exits normally to not fail the build.
If the "__tracepoint_check" section exists but not the
"__tracepoint_strings", then that is an error and should fail the build.

If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never
called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still
around in memory and not discarded.
When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the
TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event.
Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes.
Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it
calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check".
For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory
section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the
"__tracepoint_check" section if it is used.
Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is
executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is
discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This
program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check
section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the
__tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name
is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and
a warning is printed.
Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in
modules.
Enabling this currently with a given config produces:
warning: tracepoint 'sched_move_numa' is unused.

Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their
"trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined
tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are
architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should
either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the
architectures they are for.
This tool could be updated to process modules in the future.
I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead
of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations
and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so.
To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1
Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build,
the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when
tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this
isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings
for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this
commit for those warnings.

The 'old' argument in atomic_try_cmpxchg() and related functions is a
pointer to a normal non-atomic integer number, which does not require
to be naturally aligned, unlike the atomic_t/atomic64_t types themselves.
In order to add an alignment check with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC into the
normal instrument_atomic_read_write() helper, change this check to use
the non-atomic instrument_read_write(), the same way that was done
earlier for try_cmpxchg() in commit ec570320b0 ("locking/atomic:
Correct (cmp)xchg() instrumentation").
This prevents warnings on m68k calling the 32-bit atomic_try_cmpxchg()
with 16-bit aligned arguments as well as several more architectures
including x86-32 when calling atomic64_try_cmpxchg() with 32-bit
aligned u64 arguments.

Quoth Mauro:
This series should probably be called:
"Move the trick-or-treat build hacks accumulated over time
into a single place and document them."
as this reflects its main goal. As such:
- it places the jobserver logic on a library;
- it removes sphinx/parallel-wrapper.sh;
- the code now properly implements a jobserver-aware logic
to do the parallelism when called via GNU make, failing back to
"-j" when there's no jobserver;
- converts check-variable-fonts.sh to Python and uses it via
function call;
- drops an extra script to generate man pages, adding a makefile
target for it;
- ensures that return code is 0 when PDF successfully builds;
- about half of the script is comments and documentation.
I tried to do my best to document all tricks that are inside the
script. This way, the docs build steps is now documented.
It should be noticed that it is out of the scope of this series
to change the implementation. Surely the process can be improved,
but first let's consolidate and document everything on a single
place.
Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a Makefile. Running outside Makefile is
interesting specially when debug is needed. The command line
interface replaces the need of having lots of env vars before
calling sphinx-build:
$ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper --help
usage: sphinx-build-wrapper [-h]
[--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]] [--conf CONF]
[--builddir BUILDDIR] [--theme THEME] [--css CSS] [--paper {,a4,letter}] [-v]
[-j JOBS] [-i] [-V [VENV]]
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Kernel documentation builder
positional arguments:
{cleandocs,linkcheckdocs,htmldocs,epubdocs,texinfodocs,infodocs,mandocs,latexdocs,pdfdocs,xmldocs}
Documentation target to build
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--sphinxdirs SPHINXDIRS [SPHINXDIRS ...]
Specific directories to build
--conf CONF Sphinx configuration file
--builddir BUILDDIR Sphinx configuration file
--theme THEME Sphinx theme to use
--css CSS Custom CSS file for HTML/EPUB
--paper {,a4,letter} Paper size for LaTeX/PDF output
-v, --verbose place build in verbose mode
-j, --jobs JOBS Sets number of jobs to use with sphinx-build
-i, --interactive Change latex default to run in interactive mode
-V, --venv [VENV] If used, run Sphinx from a venv dir (default dir: sphinx_latest)
the only mandatory argument is the target, which is identical with
"make" targets.
The call inside Makefile doesn't use the last four arguments. They're
there to help identifying problems at the build:
-v makes the output verbose;
-j helps to test parallelism;
-i runs latexmk in interactive mode, allowing to debug PDF
build issues;
-V is useful when testing it with different venvs.
When used with GNU make (or some other make which implements jobserver),
a call like:
make -j <targets> htmldocs
will make the wrapper to automatically use POSIX jobserver to claim
the number of available job slots, calling sphinx-build with a
"-j" parameter reflecting it. ON such case, the default can be
overriden via SPHINXDIRS argument.
Visiable changes when compared with the old behavior:
When V=0, the only visible difference is that:
- pdfdocs target now returns 0 on success, 1 on failures.
This addresses an issue over the current process where we
it always return success even on failures;
- it will now print the name of PDF files that failed to build,
if any.
In verbose mode, sphinx-build-wrapper and sphinx-build command lines
are now displayed.
Add a --show-first-changed option to identify where changed functions
begin to diverge:
- Parse 'objtool klp diff' output to find changed functions.
- Run objtool again on each object with --debug-checksum=<funcs>.
- Diff the per-instruction checksum debug output to locate the first
differing instruction.
This can be useful for quickly determining where and why a function
changed.

Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch
module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps:
- Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and
-fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming.
- Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same
options.
- Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate
intermediate binary diff objects.
- Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some
livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c).
- Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage)
using 'objtool klp post-link'.

The __LINE__ macro creates challenges for binary diffing. When a .patch
file adds or removes lines, it shifts the line numbers for all code
below it.
This can cause the code generation of functions using __LINE__ to change
due to the line number constant being embedded in a MOV instruction,
despite there being no semantic difference.
Avoid such false positives by adding a fix-patch-lines script which can
be used to insert a #line directive in each patch hunk affecting the
line numbering. This script will be used by klp-build, which will be
introduced in a subsequent patch.

In preparation for klp-build, defer objtool validation for
CONFIG_KLP_BUILD kernels until the final pre-link archive (e.g.,
vmlinux.o, module-foo.o) is built. This will simplify the process of
generating livepatch modules.
Delayed objtool is generally preferred anyway, and is already standard
for IBT and LTO. Eventually the per-translation-unit mode will be
phased out.

Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate
livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete
rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of
maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
(coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:
- Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
section.
- Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.
Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things. To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.
After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.
Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'. Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.
Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:
- For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
relocations.
- Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:
- Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
symbol is being referenced.
- A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
versa.
A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN and friends are defined differently depending on
whether certain config options enable -ffunction-sections and/or
-fdata-sections.
There's no technical reason for that beyond voodoo coding. Keeping the
separate implementations adds unnecessary complexity, fragments the
logic, and increases the risk of subtle bugs.
Unify the macros by using the same input section patterns across all
configs.
This is a prerequisite for the upcoming livepatch klp-build tooling
which will manually enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections via
KCFLAGS.

The run_readelf() function reads the entire output of readelf into a
single shell variable. For large object files with extensive debug
information, the size of this variable can exceed the system's
command-line argument length limit.
When this variable is subsequently passed to sed via `echo "${out}"`, it
triggers an "Argument list too long" error, causing the script to fail.
Fix this by redirecting the output of readelf to a temporary file
instead of a variable. The sed commands are then modified to read from
this file, avoiding the argument length limitation entirely.

This section appears to come from GCC for including additional
information about global variables that may be protected by KASAN.
There appears to be no way to opt out of the generation of these symbols
through either a flag or attribute. Attempting to remove '.LASANLOC*'
with '--strip-symbol' results in the same error as above because these
symbols may refer to (thus have relocation between) each other.
Avoid this build breakage by switching to '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for
removing __mod_device_table__ symbols, as it will only remove the symbol
when there is no relocation pointing to it. While this may result in a
little more bloat in the symbol table in certain configurations, it is
not as bad as outright build failures.

Prior to binutils commit c12d9fa2afe ("Support objcopy
--remove-section=.relaFOO") [1] in 2.32, stripping relocation sections
required the trailing period (i.e., '.rel.*') to work properly.
After commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped"), there is an error with binutils 2.31.1 or earlier
because these sections are not properly removed:
s390-linux-objcopy: st6tO8Ev: symbol `.modinfo' required but not present
s390-linux-objcopy:st6tO8Ev: no symbols
Add the old pattern to resolve this issue (along with a comment to allow
cleaning this when binutils 2.32 or newer is the minimum supported
version). While the aforementioned kbuild change exposes this, the
pattern was originally changed by commit 71d815bf5d ("kbuild: Strip
runtime const RELA sections correctly"), where it would still be
incorrect with binutils older than 2.32.

Commit 27758d8c25 ("kbuild: enable -Werror for hostprogs")
unconditionally enabled -Werror for the compiler, assembler, and linker
when building the host programs, as the build footprint of the host
programs is small (thus risk of build failures from warnings are low)
and that stage of the build may not have Kconfig values (thus
CONFIG_WERROR could not be used as a precondition).
While turning warnings into errors unconditionally happens in a few
places within the kernel, it can be disruptive to people who may be
building with newer compilers, such as while doing a bisect. While it is
possible to avoid this behavior by passing HOSTCFLAGS=-w or
HOSTCFLAGS=-Wno-error, it may not be the most intuitive for regular
users not intimately familiar with Kbuild.
Avoid being disruptive to the entire build by depending on the explicit
opt-in of CONFIG_WERROR or W=e to enable -Werror and the like while
building the host programs. While this means there is a small portion of
the build that does not have -Werror enabled (namely scripts/kconfig/*
and scripts/basic/fixdep), it is better than not having it altogether.

The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig"
target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these
symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values
from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target
explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed.
The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional
symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with
SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these
symbols unnecessarily.
Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value
gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user
value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to
prevent prompting.
Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults
are not prompted in "oldconfig", except when conditional defaults evaluate
to 'no' and should legitimately be prompted.
Build tested with "make testconfig".

arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To
end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with
64-bit's needs.
- The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li
cleans up some swap code.
- The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip
unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests
code.

THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes
to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other
workloads on the system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations.
- The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox
gets us started on the memdesc project. Please see
https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc.
- The 3 patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from
Chi Zhiling improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path.

Burkov introduces the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these
permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather
than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks.
- The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some
pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
to the page allocator code.

from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
an anon vma.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
- The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these

Core & protocols
----------------
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets
and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS.
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by
an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions.
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has
some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads
capabilities.
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than
one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for
Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S).
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath.
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts,
this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW.
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds.
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump
operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on
delete.
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge
instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude
faster on large switches.
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation
time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios.
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets.
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent
TCP autotuning changes.
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down.
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups.
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races.
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing
code duplication.
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP
buffer.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated
YAML parser.
Driver API
----------
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection.
- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing
TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups.
- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath.
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the
number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX
ring queries and RSS configuration.
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause.
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average, controlling
the average smoothing factor.

Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Derive 'Zeroable' for all structs and unions generated by 'bindgen'
where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the
'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'.
It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more to
come in the next cycle.
- Add warning to the 'rustdoc' target to detect broken 'srctree/' links
and fix existing cases.
- Remove support for unused (since v6.16) host '#[test]'s, simplifying
the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run within KUnit.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a power
of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid
alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations:
// Checked at build time.
assert_eq!(Alignment:🆕:<16>().as_usize(), 16);
// Checked at runtime.
assert_eq!(Alignment::new_checked(15), None);
assert_eq!(Alignment::of::<u8>().log2(), 0);

assert_eq!(0x5u8.align_up(Alignment:🆕:<0x10>()), Some(0x10));
assert_eq!(u8::MAX.align_up(Alignment:🆕:<0x10>()), None);
It also includes its first use in Nova.
- Add 'core::mem::{align,size}_of{,_val}' to the prelude, matching
Rust 1.80.0.
- Keep going with the steps on our migration to the standard library
'core::ffi::CStr' type (use 'kernel::{fmt, prelude::fmt!}' and use
upstream method names).
- 'error' module: improve 'Error::from_errno' and 'to_result'
documentation, including examples/tests.
- 'sync' module: extend 'aref' submodule documentation now that it
exists, and more updates to complete the ongoing move of 'ARef' and
'AlwaysRefCounted' to 'sync::aref'.
- 'list' module: add an example/test for 'ListLinksSelfPtr' usage.
- 'alloc' module:
- Implement 'Box::pin_slice()', which constructs a pinned slice of
elements.
- Provide information about the minimum alignment guarantees of
'Kmalloc', 'Vmalloc' and 'KVmalloc'.
- Take minimum alignment guarantees of allocators for
'ForeignOwnable' into account.
- Remove the 'allocator_test' (including 'Cmalloc').
- Add doctest for 'Vec::as_slice()'.
- Constify various methods.
- 'time' module:
- Add methods on 'HrTimer' that can only be called with exclusive
access to an unarmed timer, or from timer callback context.
- Add arithmetic operations to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- Add a few convenience and access methods to 'HrTimer' and

"One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for
kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.
This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
support), this came up again.
The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming.

Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still using

Add a new Coccinelle script to identify places where PTR_ERR() is used
in print functions and suggest using the %pe format specifier instead.
For printing error pointers (i.e., a pointer for which IS_ERR() is true)
%pe will print a symbolic error name (e.g,. -EINVAL), opposed to the raw
errno (e.g,. -22) produced by PTR_ERR().
It also makes the code cleaner by saving a redundant call to PTR_ERR().
The script supports context, report, and org modes.
Example transformation:
printk("Error: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(ptr)); // Before
printk("Error: %pe\n", ptr); // After

During kernel option migrations (e.g. CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI),
existing .config files need to maintain backward compatibility while
preventing deprecated options from appearing in newly generated
configurations. This is challenging with existing Kconfig mechanisms
because:
1. Simply removing old options breaks existing .config files.
2. Manually listing an option as "deprecated" leaves it needlessly
visible and still writes them to new .config files.
3. Using any method to remove visibility (.e.g no 'prompt', 'if n',
etc) prevents the option from being processed at all.
Add a "transitional" attribute that creates symbols which are:
- Processed during configuration (can influence other symbols' defaults)
- Hidden from user menus (no prompts appear)
- Omitted from newly written .config files (gets migrated)
- Restricted to only having help sections (no defaults, selects, etc)
making it truly just a "prior value pass-through" option.
The transitional syntax requires a type argument and prevents type
redefinition:
config NEW_OPTION
bool "New option"
default OLD_OPTION
config OLD_OPTION
bool
transitional
help
Transitional config for OLD_OPTION migration.
This allows seamless migration: olddefconfig processes existing
CONFIG_OLD_OPTION=y settings to enable CONFIG_NEW_OPTION=y, while
CONFIG_OLD_OPTION is omitted from newly generated .config files.
Added positive and negative testing via "testconfig" make target.

Alexey Gladkov says:
The modules.builtin.modinfo file is used by userspace (kmod to be specific) to
get information about builtin modules. Among other information about the module,
information about module aliases is stored. This is very important to determine
that a particular modalias will be handled by a module that is inside the
kernel.
There are several mechanisms for creating modalias for modules:
The first is to explicitly specify the MODULE_ALIAS of the macro. In this case,
the aliases go into the '.modinfo' section of the module if it is compiled
separately or into vmlinux.o if it is builtin into the kernel.
The second is the use of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE followed by the use of the
modpost utility. In this case, vmlinux.o no longer has this information and
does not get it into modules.builtin.modinfo.
For example:
$ modinfo pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30
modinfo: ERROR: Module pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30 not found.
$ modinfo xhci_pci
name: xhci_pci
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
The builtin module is missing alias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be
generated by modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to add the generated by modpost modalias to
modules.builtin.modinfo. Fortunately modpost already generates .vmlinux.export.c
for exported symbols. It is possible to add `.modinfo` for builtin modules and
modify the build system so that `.modinfo` section is extracted from the
intermediate vmlinux after modpost is executed.

For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.
When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.
As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias
pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30

Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.

At this point, if a symbol is compiled as part of the kernel,
information about which module the symbol belongs to is lost.
To save this it is possible to add the module name to the alias name.

With lines having a symbol to decode, the script was only trying to

(the misalignment is clearer here)
That's because the script had a workaround for CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y only,
see the previous comment called "Format timestamps with tabs".
To always preserve spaces, they need to be recorded along the words. That
is what is now done with the new 'spaces' array.
Some notes:
- 'extglob' is needed only for this operation, and that's why it is set
in a dedicated subshell.
- 'read' is used with '-r' not to treat a <backslash> character in any
special way, e.g. when followed by a space.
- When a word is removed from the 'words' array, the corresponding space
needs to be removed from the 'spaces' array as well.
With the last sample, we now have:

A few patches slightly improving the output generated by
decode_stacktrace.sh.
This patch (of 3):
Lines having a symbol to decode might not always have info after this
symbol. It means ${info_str} might not be set, but it will always be
printed after a space, causing trailing whitespaces.
That's a detail, but when the output is opened with an editor marking

Convert the code inside jobserver-exec to a class and
properly document it.
Using a class allows reusing the jobserver logic on other
scripts.
While the main code remains unchanged, being compatible with
Python 2.6 and 3.0+, its coding style now follows a more
modern standard, having tabs replaced by a 4-spaces
indent, passing autopep8, black and pylint.
The code allows using a pythonic way to enter/exit a python
code, e.g. it now supports:
with JobserverExec() as jobserver:
jobserver.run(sys.argv[1:])
With the new code, the __exit__() function should ensure
that the jobserver slot will be closed at the end, even if
something bad happens somewhere.

Add a KUnit test suite for BLAKE2s. Most of the core test logic is in
the previously-added hash-test-template.h. This commit just adds the
actual KUnit suite, commits the generated test vectors to the tree so
that gen-hash-testvecs.py won't have to be run at build time, and adds a
few BLAKE2s-specific test cases.
This is the replacement for blake2s-selftest, which an earlier commit
removed. Improvements over blake2s-selftest include integration with
KUnit, more comprehensive test cases, and support for benchmarking.

The uAPI stddef header includes compiler_types.h, a kernel-only
header, to make sure that kernel definitions of annotations
like __counted_by() take precedence.
There is a hack in scripts/headers_install.sh which strips includes
of compiler.h and compiler_types.h when installing uAPI headers.
While explicit handling makes sense for compiler.h, which is included
all over the uAPI, compiler_types.h is only included by stddef.h
(within the uAPI, obviously it's included in kernel code a lot).
Remove the stripping from scripts/headers_install.sh and wrap
the include of compiler_types.h in #ifdef __KERNEL__ instead.
This should be equivalent functionally, but is easier to understand
to a casual reader of the code. It also makes it easier to work
with kernel headers directly from under tools/

GCC doesn't support "hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix", only
"asan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix"[0], while LLVM supports both. This is
already taken into account when checking
"CONFIG_CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX", but not in the KASAN Makefile
adding those parameters when "CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS" is enabled.
Replace the version check with "CONFIG_CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX",
which already validates that mem-intrinsic prefix parameter can be used,
and choose the correct name depending on compiler.
GCC 13 and above trigger "CONFIG_CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX" which
prevents `mem{cpy,move,set}()` being redefined in "mm/kasan/shadow.c"
since commit 36be5cba99 ("kasan: treat meminstrinsic as builtins in
uninstrumented files"), as we expect the compiler to prefix those calls
with `__(hw)asan_` instead. But as the option passed to GCC has been
incorrect, the compiler has not been emitting those prefixes, effectively
never calling the instrumented versions of `mem{cpy,move,set}()` with
"CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS" enabled.
If "CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCES" is enabled, this issue would be mitigated as
it redefines `mem{cpy,move,set}()` and properly aliases the
`__underlying_mem*()` that will be called to the instrumented versions.

The dependeny list for OpenMandriva is wrong. Update it.
Yet, on my tests with OpenMandriva LX 4.3, the texlive packages are
broken: xelatex can't build anything there, as it lacks xelatex.sfm.
Yet, this could be a problem at the way I created the container.

When qconf (xconfig) exits, it saves the current Option settings
for Show Name, Show Debug Info, and Show {Normal|All|Prompt} Options.
When it is next run, it loads these Option settings from its
config file. It correctly shows the flag settings for Show Name
and Show Debug Info, but it does not show which of the 3 Show...Options
is set. This can lead to confusing output, e.g., if the user thinks
that xconfig is in Show All Options mode but kconfig options which
have an unmet dependency are still being listed.
Add code to show the radio button for the current Show...Options
mode during startup so that it will reflect the current config
setting.

While nothing was really needed for virtualenv to work on most
distros, we had an issue with OpenMandriva.
While checking for it, it was noticed that there was no check if
python-virtualenv was installed.
This didn't solve the issues we faced there: at least with
the half-broken OpenMandriva Lx 4.0 docker container we used,
ensurepip was not available anywhere, causing venv to fail.
Add a distro-specific note about that.
Note: at least at the time we did our tests, OpenMandriva Lx 4.0
docker was shipped with wrong dnf repositories. Also, there
was no repos available for it anymore. So, we had to do some
hacks to upgrade to 4.3 before being able to run any tests.

This program is somewhat complex. Add some docstring documentation,
explaining what each function and class is supposed to do.
Most of the focus here were to describe the ancillary functions used
to detect dependency needs.
The main SphinxDependencyChecker still requires a lot of care,
and probably need to be reorganized to clearly split the 4 types
of output it produces:
- Need to upgrade Python binary;
- System install needs;
- Virtual env install needs;
- Python install needs via system packages, to run Sphinx
natively.
Yet, for now, I'm happy of having it a lot better documented
than its Perl version.

It took me a lot of time, but I guess understand now what it
takes to install a package on Gentoo.
Handling dependencies is a nightmare, as Gentoo refuses to emerge
some packages if there's no package.use file describing them.
To make it worse, compilation flags shall also be present there
for some packages. If USE is not perfect, error/warning messages
like those are shown:
gnome-base/librsvg dev-texlive/texlive-xetex media-fonts/dejavu dev-python/pyyaml
...
!!! The following binary packages have been ignored due to non matching USE:
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf -python_single_target_python3_13 qt6 svg
=media-gfx/graphviz-12.2.1-r1 X pdf python_single_target_python3_12 -python_single_target_python3_13 qt6 svg

=app-text/texlive-core-2024-r1 -xetex
=dev-libs/zziplib-0.13.79-r1 sdl
If emerge is allowed, it will simply ignore the above packages,
creating an incomplete installation, which will later fail when
one tries to build docs with images or build PDFs.
After the fix, command line commands to produce the needed USE
chain will be emitted, if they don't exist yet.
sudo su -c 'echo "media-gfx/graphviz" > /etc/portage/package.use/graphviz'
sudo su -c 'echo "media-gfx/imagemagick" > /etc/portage/package.use/imagemagick'
sudo su -c 'echo "media-libs/harfbuzz icu" > /etc/portage/package.use/media-libs'

sudo su -c 'echo "dev-libs/zziplib sdl" > /etc/portage/package.use/zziblib'
The new logic tries to be smart enough to detect for missing files
and missing arguments. Yet, as Gentoo seems to require users to
manage those package.use files by hand, the logic isn't perfect:
users may still need to verify for conflicts on different use
files.

I forgot one f-string marker, with turned to be affecting 3
lines, because of cut-and-paste ;-)
Use the proper f-string marker to print Sphinx version at
the hint lines. Yet, we don't want to print as a tuple, so
call ver_str() for it.
Ideally, we would be placing it directly at the f-string, but
Python 3.6 f-string support was pretty much limited. Only
3.12 (PEP 701) makes it similar to Perl, allowing expressions
inside it. It sounds that function call itself was introduced
on 3.7.
As we explicitly want this one to run on 3.6, as latest Leap
comes with it, we can't use function calls on f-string.

On openSUSE Leap 15.6, which is the current LTS version, has two
Sphinx packages. The normal one requires Python 3.6, which we

newer Sphinx version (7.2.6).
Suggest the newer version:
Detected OS: openSUSE Leap 15.6.
ERROR: at least python 3.7 is required to build the kernel docs
Warning: python version is not supported.
Warning: better to also install "convert".
Warning: better to also install "dot".
ERROR: please install "yaml", otherwise, build won't work.
You should run:
sudo zypper install --no-recommends ImageMagick graphviz python311-pyyaml
Sphinx needs to be installed either:
1) via pip/pypi with:
Currently not possible.
Please upgrade Python to a newer version and run this script again
2) As a package with:
sudo zypper install --no-recommends python311-Sphinx
Please note that Sphinx >= 3.0 will currently produce false-positive
warning when the same name is used for more than one type (functions,
structs, enums,...). This is known Sphinx bug. For more details, see:

While we do need at least 3.6 for kernel-doc to work, and at least
3.7 for it to output functions and structs with parameters at the
right order, let the python binary be compatible with legacy
versions.
The rationale is that the Kernel build nowadays calls kernel-doc
with -none on some places. Better not to bail out when older
versions are found.
With that, potentially this will run with python 2.7 and 3.2+,
according with vermin:
$ vermin --no-tips -v ./scripts/kernel-doc
Detecting python files..
Analyzing using 24 processes..
2.7, 3.2 /new_devel/v4l/docs/scripts/kernel-doc
Minimum required versions: 2.7, 3.2
3.2 minimal requirement is due to argparse.
The minimal version I could check was version 3.4
(using anaconda). Anaconda doesn't support 3.2 or 3.3
anymore, and 3.2 doesn't even compile (I tested compiling
Python 3.2 on Fedora 42 and on Fedora 32 - no show).
With 3.4, the script didn't crash and emitted the right warning:
$ conda create -n py34 python=3.4
$ conda activate py34
python --version
Python 3.4.5
$ python ./scripts/kernel-doc --none include/media
Error: Python 3.6 or later is required by kernel-doc
$ conda deactivate
$ python --version
Python 3.13.5
$ python ./scripts/kernel-doc --none include/media
(no warnings and script ran properly)
Supporting 2.7 is out of scope, as it is EOL for 5 years, and
changing shebang to point to "python" instead of "python3"
would have a wider impact.
I did some extra checks about the differences from 3.2 and
3.4, and didn't find anything that would cause troubles:
grep -rE "yield from|asyncio|pathlib|async|await|enum" scripts/kernel-doc
Also, it doesn't use "@" operator. So, I'm confident that it
should run (producing the exit warning) since Python 3.2.

dump_struct is one of the longest functions in the kdoc_parser class,
making it hard to read and reason about. Move the definition of the prefix
transformations out of the function, join them with the definition of
"attribute" (which was defined at the top of the file but only used here),
and reformat the code slightly for shorter line widths.
Just code movement in the end.

Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and 'ref_as_ptr'.
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator, which
are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less powerful
and thus should help to avoid mistakes.
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is followed
as for the static branch code in order to share the assembly between
both C and Rust. This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers
-- the existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus
no functional change expected there.
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a 'DelayedWork'
struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an 'enqueue_delayed'
method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));
assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which reads
NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'.
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C, to
minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing them
up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add it to
the prelude, too.
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and some
other cleanups.
Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances.
- 'dma' module:
- Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature.
- Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'.
- Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'.
- Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add the
corresponding type invariants.
- Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'.
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the compiler
to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the 'Instant' use
'Instants' based on the same clock source.
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers take a
'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time, depending
on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can check the
type matches the timer mode.
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending on
the requested sleep time.
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps.
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types.
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'.
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove pointer
arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes 'impl_has_list_links!' or
'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other simplifications too.
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null.
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want to
encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases.
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs.
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'.
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it.
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method.
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which we
want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment in
'static_lock_class'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are now
(pin-)initializers.
- Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'.
- New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'.
- Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for '"Rust"'
and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments.
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T'.
- Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'.
- Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
'--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two '-next'
branches in upstream and the kernel.

Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone).

- 'time' module:
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
check the type matches the timer mode
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
on the requested sleep time
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
simplifications too
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want
to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
in 'static_lock_class'
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are
now (pin-)initializers
- Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'
- New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'
- Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for
'"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T'
- Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'
- Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
'--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
'-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops is
registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not work as
expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it twice as to
catch bugs before they are found by things just not working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very expensive
and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do not make it an
option. As soon as an architecture supports DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it.
This simplifies the code.
- Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment
In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the comment says
/* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing.
- Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container).
- Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX.
- Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK.
- Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP.
- Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface.
- Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB.
- Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users.
- Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque.
- Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly once.
- Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code.
- Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel NAPI
thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread would stick
around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization.
- Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets.
- Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing.
- MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling.
- Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink.
- Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed.
- Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries.
- Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM.
- Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister netconsole's
console when all net targets are removed. Code refactoring.
Add a number of selftests.
- Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
should be used for an inbound SA lookup.
- Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS.
- Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links.
- Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch.
- Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack.
- Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer.
- Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT.
Driver API

* Move sysctls out of the kern_table array
This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective subsystems. Only 5
(out of the original 50) will remain in kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle
either sysctl or common arch variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain control
over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and reducing the
likelihood of merge conflicts.
* docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs
Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented in the
check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to automatically
identify if documentation is missing.
* Testing
All these have been in linux-next since rc3, giving them a solid 3 to 4 weeks
worth of testing. Additionally, sysctl selftests and kunit were also run
locally on my x86_64

Add KUnit test suites for the Poly1305, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256,
SHA-384, and SHA-512 library functions.
These are the first KUnit tests for lib/crypto/. So in addition to
being useful tests for these specific algorithms, they also establish
some conventions for lib/crypto/ testing going forwards.
The new tests are fairly comprehensive: more comprehensive than the
generic crypto infrastructure's tests. They use a variety of
techniques to check for the types of implementation bugs that tend to
occur in the real world, rather than just naively checking some test
vectors. (Interestingly, poly1305_kunit found a bug in QEMU.)
The core test logic is shared by all six algorithms, rather than being
duplicated for each algorithm.
Each algorithm's test suite also optionally includes a benchmark.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Clicking the Back button may navigate to a non-menu hierarchy level.
[Example]
menu "menu1"
config A
bool "A"
default y
config B
bool "B"
depends on A
default y
menu "menu2"
depends on B
config C
bool "C"
default y
endmenu
endmenu
After being re-parented by menu_finalize(), the menu tree is structured
like follows:
menu "menu1"
\-- A
\-- B
\-- menu "menu2"
\-- C
In Single view, visit "menu2" and click the Back button. It should go up
to "menu1" and show A, B and "menu2", but instead goes up to A and show
only B and "menu2". This is a bug in on_back_clicked().

Zboot compressed kernel images are used for arm64 kernels on various
distros.
extract-vmlinux fails with those kernels because the wrapped image is
another PE. While this could be a bit confusing, the tools primary
purpose of unwrapping and decompressing the contained kernel image
makes it the obvious place for this functionality.
Add a 'file' check in check_vmlinux() that detects a contained PE
image before trying readelf. Recent (FILES_39, Jun/2020) file
implementations output something like:
"Linux kernel ARM64 boot executable Image, little-endian, 4K pages"
Which is also a stronger statement than readelf provides so drop that
part of the comment. At the same time this means that kernel images
which don't appear to contain a compressed image will be returned
rather than reporting an error. Which matches the behavior for
existing ELF files.
The extracted PE image can then be inspected, or used as would any
other kernel PE.

When writing symtypes information, we iterate through the entire hash

Use GdkRGBA instead.
This fixes warnings such as:

A menu can be created under a symbol.
[Example]
menu "outer menu"
config A
bool "A"
menu "inner menu"
depends on A
config B
bool "B"
endmenu
endmenu
After being re-parented by menu_finalize(), the menu tree is structured
like follows:
menu "outer menu"
\-- A
\-- menu "inner menu"
\-- B
In split view, the symbol A is shown in the right pane, so all of its
descendants must also be shown there. This has never worked correctly.

This patch adds the functionability to smartly identify origin commit
of the translation by matching the following patterns in commit log:
1) update to commit HASH
2) Update the translation through commit HASH
If no such pattern is found, script will obey the original workflow.

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

The Clang stack depth tracking implementation has a fixed name for
the stack depth tracking callback, "__sanitizer_cov_stack_depth", so
rename the GCC plugin function to match since the plugin has no external
dependencies on naming.

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:
- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

Use a match expression with slice patterns instead of length checks and

exercise the `using ListLinksSelfPtr` variant nor the generic cases. Add
that here. Generalize `impl_has_list_links_self_ptr` to handle nested
fields in the same manner as `impl_has_list_links`.
