kconfig: add optional warnings for changed input values
When reading .config input, Kconfig stores user-provided values first
and then resolves the final value after applying dependencies, ranges,
and other constraints.

If the final value differs from the user input, Kconfig already tracks
that state internally, but it does not provide a focused diagnostic to
show which explicit inputs were adjusted. This is particularly confusing
for requested values that get forced down by unmet dependencies or
clamped by ranges.

Add an opt-in diagnostic controlled by KCONFIG_WARN_CHANGED_INPUT. Emit
the warnings from conf_write() and conf_write_defconfig() after value
resolution. Print the diagnostic to stderr directly, not through the
normal message callback, so it remains visible when conf is run with -s,
such as from make -s.

Keep the diagnostic out of the conf_message() formatting buffer so long
warning lists are not truncated, and mark processed symbols as written
before the SYMBOL_WRITE check so duplicate menu nodes cannot emit
duplicate warnings.

Document the new environment variable and add tests for olddefconfig,
savedefconfig, and the silent-conf path.

modpost: Ignore Clang LTO suffixes in symbol matching
When building the kernel with Clang ThinLTO enabled, the compiler
can mangle static variable names by appending suffixes such as
".llvm.<hash>" to prevent naming collisions across translation units.

This name mangling breaks the section mismatch whitelisting in modpost.
modpost relies on glob patterns (e.g., "*_ops" or "*_probe") to identify
safe references between permanent data and initialization code. Because
the LTO suffix modifies the end of the symbol name, legitimately
whitelisted structures fail the match, resulting in false positive
warnings.

For example, a static pernet_operations struct triggers the following:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: \
  ping_v4_net_ops.llvm.5641696707737373282 (section: .data) -> \
  ping_v4_proc_init_net (section: .init.text)

Fix this by ignoring "*_ops.llvm.*" in "from" symbol names (the same
as "*_ops").

kbuild: Use ld.lld for linking host programs when LLVM is set
Currently, host programs are linked with HOSTCC using the toolchain's
default linker. This can result in confusing behavior when using the
LLVM Kbuild variable (which states that the user would like to build
with the LLVM toolchain instead of the GNU one), as clang's default
linker is ld for most platforms, not ld.lld. The documentation mentions
HOSTLD=ld.lld is set but this variable is not used by Kbuild proper,
only within some tools/ projects. Kbuild provides the HOSTLDFLAGS
variable, which allow users to provide the '-fuse-ld' or '--ld-path'
flags to customize what linker is used, but this is not super obvious to
folks not familiar with Kbuild.

If the user has not customized the linker already using one of these
flags, default to ld.lld when using the LLVM variable, which is more in
line with user expectations when using that variable.

kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for Propeller
The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most
recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

modpost: Add __llvm_covfun and __llvm_covmap to section_white_list
Modpost emits hundreds of warnings when using Clang to build for ARCH=um
and CONFIG_GCOV=y. e.g.:
    vmlinux (__llvm_covfun): unexpected non-allocatable section.
    Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
    Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
    section definitions for use in .S files.

For example, when we use LLVM for a kunit user mode build with coverage:
    python3 tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build --make_options LLVM=1 \
        --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/default.config \
        --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/coverage_uml.config

The behaviour occurs when building the kernel for ARCH=um with code
coverage enabled. The warnings come from modpost's check_sec_ref
function, which ensures no sections reference others that will be
discarded. covfun and covmap sections must reference __init and __exit
sections to collect coverage data, triggering the modpost warning.

To suppress these warnings, these section names have been added to
modpost's whitelist. This is unlikely to suppress legitimate warnings as
Clang will only insert these sections when building with coverage, and
can be assumed to manage these references safely.

kconfig: add kconfig-sym-check static checker
Add 'make kconfig-sym-check', a static checker that finds Kconfig
symbols referenced in expressions (select, depends on, default, etc.)
but never defined via config/menuconfig anywhere in the tree. New
dangling symbols are reported as errors (exit 1) unless they are
listed in an exclusion file, e.g.

 KCONFIG_SYM_CHECK_EXCLUDES=sym-check-excludes make kconfig-sym-check

The exclusion file lists one symbol per line; blank lines and lines
starting with '#' are ignored.

The checker also warns about uppercase N/Y/M used as tristate literal
values following the same logic as checkpatch.

This new static checker is the script used for [1] with a few
improvements to avoid some false positives.

kbuild: distributed build support for Clang ThinLTO
Add distributed ThinLTO build support for the Linux kernel.
This new mode offers several advantages: (1) Increased
flexibility in handling user-specified build options.
(2) Improved user-friendliness for developers. (3) Greater
convenience for integrating with objtool and livepatch.

Note that "distributed" in this context refers to a term
that differentiates in-process ThinLTO builds by invoking
backend compilation through the linker, not necessarily
building in distributed environments.

Distributed ThinLTO is enabled via the
`CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST` Kconfig option. For example:
 > make LLVM=1 defconfig
 > scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST
 > make LLVM=1 oldconfig
 > make LLVM=1 vmlinux -j <..>

The build flow proceeds in four stages:
  1. Perform FE compilation, mirroring the in-process ThinLTO mode.
  2. Thin-link the generated IR files and object files.
  3. Find all IR files and perform BE compilation, using the flags
    stored in the .*.o.cmd files.
  4. Link the BE results to generate the final vmlinux.o.

NOTE: This patch currently implements the build for the main kernel
image (vmlinux) only. Kernel module support is planned for a
subsequent patch.

Tested on the following arch: x86, arm64, loongarch, and
riscv.

The earlier implementation details can be found here:

scripts: modpost: detect and report truncated buf_printf() output
buf_printf() uses a fixed-size stack buffer. vsnprintf() returns the
number of bytes that *would* have been written to that buffer, which can
be larger than the size of said buffer if the formatted string is too
long.

The problem is that whenever this happens buf_printf() currently passes
this length, unchecked, to buf_write(), which silently reads past the
stack buffer and copies invalid data into the output buffer.

Fix this by detecting vsnprintf() failures and truncations before
appending to the output buffer, and report a fatal error instead of
producing corrupt symbol names.

security/Kconfig.hardening: Remove tautological condition from CC_HAS_ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS
Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been raised to 17.0.1, the '!Clang || Clang > 15.0.6' dependency for
CONFIG_CC_HAS_ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS is always true, so it can be removed.

kbuild: Bump minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 17.0.1
The current minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel is 15.0.0.
However, there are two deficiencies compared to GCC that were fixed in
LLVM 17 that are starting to become more noticeable.

The first was a bug in LLVM's scope checker [1], where all labels in a
function were validated as potential targets of an asm goto statement,
even if they were not listed in the asm goto statement as targets. This
becomes particularly problematic when the cleanup attribute is used, as

  asm goto(... : label_a);
  ...
label_a:
  ...
  int var __free(foo);
  asm goto(... : label_b);
  ...
label_b:
  ...

will trigger an error since the scope checker will complain that the
cleanup variable would be skipped when jumping from the first asm goto
to label_b (which obviously cannot happen). This issue was the catalyst
for commit e2ffa15b9b ("kbuild: Disable CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT on
clang < 17"). Unfortunately, this issue is reproducible with regular asm
goto in addition to asm goto with outputs, so that change was not
entirely sufficient to avoid the issue altogether. As asm goto has
effectively been required since commit a0a12c3ed0 ("asm goto:
eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO") and the usage of the cleanup attribute
continues to grow across the tree, raising the minimum to a version that
avoids this issue altogether is a better long term solution than
attempting to workaround it at every spot where it happens.

The second issue is an incompatibility with GCC 8.1+ around variables
marked with const being valid constant expressions for _Static_assert
and other macros [2]. With GCC 8.1 being the minimum supported version
since commit 118c40b7b5 ("kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30"),
this incompatibility becomes more of a maintenance burden since only
clang-15 and clang-16 are affected by it.

Looking at the clang version of various major distributions through
Docker images, no one should be left behind as a result of this bump, as
the old ones cannot clear the current minimum of 15.0.0.

17.0.1 is chosen as the minimum instead of 17.0.0 to ensure that the
particular version of LLVM 17 has the two aforementioned bugs fixed, as
the second was fixed during the 17.0.0 release candidate phase and it
was not until LLVM 18 that LLVM adopted the scheme of x.0.0 being a
prerelease version and x.1.0 is a release version [3] to help with
scenarios such as this.

kconfig: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in conf_askvalue
In conf_askvalue(), the 'def' argument (retrieved via sym_get_string_value)
can be NULL. While current call sites ensure that 'def' is valid,
calling printf("%s\n", def) is technically undefined behavior and could
lead to a segmentation fault on certain libc implementations if the
function were called with a NULL pointer in the future.

Improve the robustness of conf_askvalue() by providing an empty string
as a fallback.

Additionally, remove the redundant re-initialization of the 'line'
buffer inside the !sym_is_changeable(sym) block, as it is already
properly initialized at the function entry.

kbuild/btf: Remove broken module relinking exclusion
Commit 5f9ae91f7c ("kbuild: Build kernel module BTFs if BTF is enabled
and pahole supports it") in 2020 introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES
to enable generation of split BTF for kernel modules. This change required
the %.ko Makefile rule to additionally depend on vmlinux, which is used as
a base for deduplication. The regular ld_ko_o command executed by the rule
was then modified to be skipped if only vmlinux changes. This was done by
introducing a new if_changed_except command and updating the original call
to '+$(call if_changed_except,ld_ko_o,vmlinux)'.

Later, commit 214c0eea43 ("kbuild: add $(objtree)/ prefix to some
in-kernel build artifacts") in 2024 updated the rule's reference to vmlinux
from 'vmlinux' to '$(objtree)/vmlinux'. This accidentally broke the
previous logic to skip relinking modules if only vmlinux changes. The issue
is that '$(objtree)' is typically '.' and GNU Make normalizes the resulting
prerequisite './vmlinux' to just 'vmlinux', while the exclusion logic
retains the raw './vmlinux'. As a result, if_changed_except doesn't
correctly filter out vmlinux. Consequently, with
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, modules are relinked even if only vmlinux
changes.

It is possible to fix this Makefile issue. However, having the %.ko rule
update the resulting file in place without starting from the original
inputs is rather fragile. The logic is harder to debug if something breaks
during a subsequent .ko update because the old input is lost due to the
overwrite. Additionally, it requires that the BTF processing is idempotent.
For example, sorting id+flags BTF_SET8 pairs in .BTF_ids by resolve_btfids
currently doesn't have this property.

One option is to split the %.ko target into two rules: the first for
partial linking and the second one for generating the BTF data. However,
this approach runs into an issue with requiring additional intermediate
files, which increases the size of the build directory. On my system, when
using a large distribution config with ~5500 modules, the size of the build
directory with debuginfo enabled is already ~25 GB, with .ko files
occupying ~8 GB. Duplicating these .ko files doesn't seem practical.

Measuring the speed of the %.ko processing shows that the link step is
actually relatively fast. It takes about 20% of the overall rule time,
while the BTF processing accounts for 80%. Moreover, skipping the link part
becomes relevant only during local development. In such cases, developers
typically use configs that enable a limited number of modules, so having
the %.ko rule slightly slower doesn't significantly impact the total
rebuild time. This is supported by the fact that no one has complained
about this optimization being broken for the past two years.

Therefore, remove the logic that prevents module relinking when only
vmlinux changes and simplify Makefile.modfinal.

1d9f1b5e43 Here are the accumulated fixes for 7.1-rc1 and a single structural worth of
mentioning separately: Rafael's commit converting tpm_crb from ACPI driver
 to a platform driver. Starting from this release cycle, the branch with TPM
 changes mirrored to next is 'for-next-tpm', and patches for keys have their
 own separate 'for-next-keys' branch.

18c5b9ea4e tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy.8: Document SoC Slider Options
x86_energy_perf_policy accesses the SoC Slider via standard
user/kernel APIs to the processor_thermal_soc_slider driver.

Machines that support SoC Slider largely use it instead of EPP,
which may continue to exist in a diminished role, or vanish entirely.

25ff5848c0 tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy: Enhances SoC Slider related checks
When processor_thermal_soc_slider is loaded, its slider
and offset modparams are visible.  Check that the driver
actually registered the profile named "SoC Slider" before
reading or writing these modparams.

n.b. This utility allows writing the Slider and Offset modparams
even if the driver policy is not "balanced".  Currently the
processor_thermal_soc_slider consults those modparams
only in "balanced" mode.

clk: bcm: rpi: Mark VEC clock as CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
On Raspberry Pi 3B, the VEC clock is used by the VideoCore firmware
display driver, which remains active until the vc4 driver loads and
sends NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE. If this clock is disabled during boot, a bus
lockup happens and the firmware becomes unresponsive, causing a complete
system lockup.

Mark the VEC clock with CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED so it survives the unused
clock disablement and remains available until the vc4 driver takes over
display management.

27d128c1cf ring-buffer fix for 7.1:
- Fix accounting of persistent ring buffer rewind
 
   On boot up, the head page is moved back to the earliest point of
   the saved ring buffer. This is because the ring buffer being read by
   user space on a crash may not save the part it read. Rewinding the head
   page back to the earliest saved position helps keep those events from
   being lost.
 
   The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the
   stats file in the tracefs directory. It's also used for other accounting
   as well. On boot up, the "reader page" is accounted for but a rewind may
   put it back into the buffer and then the reader page may be accounted
   for again.
 
   Save off the original reader page and skip accounting it when scanning
   the pages in the ring buffer.
