d92b7a3b52 modpost: deduplicate MODULE_ALIAS() for all drivers
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pnp_card, ...) may have duplicated IDs. For
instance, snd_ad1816a_pnpids[] in sound/isa/ad1816a/ad1816a.c includes
multiple occurrences of the "ADS7180" string within its .devs fields.

Currently, do_pnp_card_entries() handles deduplication on its own, but
this logic should be moved to a common helper function, as drivers in
other subsystems might also have similar duplication issues.

For example, drivers/media/i2c/s5c73m3/s5c73m3.mod.c contains duplicated
MODULE_ALIAS() entries because both s5c73m3-core.c and s5c73m3-spi.c
define the same compatible string.

This commit eliminates redundant MODULE_ALIAS() entries across all
drivers.

[Before]

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/media/i2c/s5c73m3/s5c73m3.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("i2c:S5C73M3");
  MODULE_ALIAS("of:N*T*Csamsung,s5c73m3");
  MODULE_ALIAS("of:N*T*Csamsung,s5c73m3C*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("of:N*T*Csamsung,s5c73m3");
  MODULE_ALIAS("of:N*T*Csamsung,s5c73m3C*");

[After]

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/media/i2c/s5c73m3/s5c73m3.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("i2c:S5C73M3");
  MODULE_ALIAS("of:N*T*Csamsung,s5c73m3");
  MODULE_ALIAS("of:N*T*Csamsung,s5c73m3C*");

f4fdb17ca5 modpost: introduce module_alias_printf() helper
The generic ->do_entry() handler is currently limited to returning
a single alias string.

However, this is not flexible enough for several subsystems, which
currently require their own implementations:

 - do_usb_table()
 - do_of_table()
 - do_pnp_device_entry()
 - do_pnp_card_entries()

This commit introduces a helper function so that these special cases can
add multiple MODULE_ALIAS() and then migrate to the generic framework.

0c3e091319 modpost: remove incorrect code in do_eisa_entry()
This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:

 - ac55182899 ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
 - 6543becf26 ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

Commit ac55182899 inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():

    else
            strcat(alias, "*");

This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.

Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:

    MODULE_ALIAS("*");

This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.

Commit ac55182899 introduced another bug.            

Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:

    if (eisa->sig[0])

This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.

However, commit ac55182899 changed it as follows:

    if (sig[0])

sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.

The correct conversion would have been:

    if ((*sig)[0])

However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.

This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

523f3dbc18 setlocalversion: work around "git describe" performance
Contrary to expectations, passing a single candidate tag to "git
describe" is slower than not passing any --match options.

  $ time git describe --debug
  ...
  traversed 10619 commits
  ...
  v6.12-rc5-63-g0fc810ae3ae1

  real    0m0.169s

  $ time git describe --match=v6.12-rc5 --debug
  ...
  traversed 1310024 commits
  v6.12-rc5-63-g0fc810ae3ae1

  real    0m1.281s

In fact, the --debug output shows that git traverses all or most of
history. For some repositories and/or git versions, those 1.3s are
actually 10-15 seconds.

This has been acknowledged as a performance bug in git [1], and a fix
is on its way [2]. However, no solution is yet in git.git, and even
when one lands, it will take quite a while before it finds its way to
a release and for $random_kernel_developer to pick that up.

So rewrite the logic to use plumbing commands. For each of the
candidate values of $tag, we ask: (1) is $tag even an annotated
tag? (2) Is it eligible to describe HEAD, i.e. an ancestor of
HEAD? (3) If so, how many commits are in $tag..HEAD?

I have tested that this produces the same output as the current script
for ~700 random commits between v6.9..v6.10. For those 700 commits,
and in my git repo, the 'make -s kernelrelease' command is on average
~4 times faster with this patch applied (geometric mean of ratios).

For the commit mentioned in Josh's original report [3], the
time-consuming part of setlocalversion goes from

$ time git describe --match=v6.12-rc5 c1e939a21e

e397a603e4 kbuild: switch from lz4c to lz4 for compression
Replace lz4c with lz4 for kernel image compression.
Although lz4 and lz4c are functionally similar, lz4c has been deprecated
upstream since 2018. Since as early as Ubuntu 16.04 and Fedora 25, lz4
and lz4c have been packaged together, making it safe to update the
requirement from lz4c to lz4.

Consequently, some distributions and build systems, such as OpenEmbedded,
have fully transitioned to using lz4. OpenEmbedded core adopted this
change in commit fe167e082cbd ("bitbake.conf: require lz4 instead of
lz4c"), causing compatibility issues when building the mainline kernel
in the latest OpenEmbedded environment, as seen in the errors below.

This change also updates the LZ4 compression commands to make it backward
compatible by replacing stdin and stdout with the '-' option, due to some
unclear reason, the stdout keyword does not work for lz4 and '-' works for
both. In addition, this modifies the legacy '-c1' with '-9' which is also
compatible with both. This fixes the mainline kernel build failures with
the latest master OpenEmbedded builds associated with the mentioned
compatibility issues.

13b25489b6 kbuild: change working directory to external module directory with M=
Currently, Kbuild always operates in the output directory of the kernel,
even when building external modules. This increases the risk of external
module Makefiles attempting to write to the kernel directory.

This commit switches the working directory to the external module
directory, allowing the removal of the $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/ prefix from
some build artifacts.

The command for building external modules maintains backward
compatibility, but Makefiles that rely on working in the kernel
directory may break. In such cases, $(objtree) and $(srctree) should
be used to refer to the output and source directories of the kernel.

The appearance of the build log will change as follows:

[Before]

  $ make -C /path/to/my/linux M=/path/to/my/externel/module
  make: Entering directory '/path/to/my/linux'
    CC [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.o
    MODPOST /path/to/my/externel/module/Module.symvers
    CC [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.mod.o
    CC [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/.module-common.o
    LD [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.ko
  make: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/linux'

[After]

  $ make -C /path/to/my/linux M=/path/to/my/externel/module
  make: Entering directory '/path/to/my/linux'
  make[1]: Entering directory '/path/to/my/externel/module'
    CC [M]  helloworld.o
    MODPOST Module.symvers
    CC [M]  helloworld.mod.o
    CC [M]  .module-common.o
    LD [M]  helloworld.ko
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/externel/module'
  make: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/linux'

Printing "Entering directory" twice is cumbersome. This will be
addressed later.

d5dc958361 kbuild: Add Propeller configuration for kernel build
Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like
AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information
about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a
binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's
optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary.

The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the
create_llvm_prof tool
(https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This
commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features
like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS.

Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller
optimized kernel:

1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller
   build config
      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
      CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
   then
      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile>

“<autofdo_profile>” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller
AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization
level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block
information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized
kernel.

2) Install the kernel on test/production machines.

3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
   event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number,
   like 500009, for this purpose.
   For Intel platforms:
      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
        -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
   For AMD platforms:
      The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
      # To see if Zen3 support LBR:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
      # To see if Zen4 support LBR:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
      # If the result is yes, then collect the profile using:
      $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
        -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>

4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.

5) Generate Propeller profile:
   $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
     --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \
     --out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt \
     --propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt

   “create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt
   binary for linux can be found on
   https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build
   from source).

   "<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like
   "/home/user/dir/any_string".

   This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles:
   "<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and
   "<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt".

6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.
      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
      CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
   and
      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile> \
        CLANG_PROPELLER_PROFILE_PREFIX=<propeller_profile_prefix>

2fd65f7afd AutoFDO: Enable machine function split optimization for AutoFDO
Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang.

Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that
splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all
cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code
fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization.

MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.

315ad8780a kbuild: Add AutoFDO support for Clang build
Add the build support for using Clang's AutoFDO. Building the kernel
with AutoFDO does not reduce the optimization level from the
compiler. AutoFDO uses hardware sampling to gather information about
the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary.
This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization
decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. Experiments
showed that the kernel can improve up to 10% in latency.

The support requires a Clang compiler after LLVM 17. This submission
is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on
Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Support for SPE on ARM 1,
 and BRBE on ARM 1 is part of planned future work.

       $ make menuconfig LLVM=1
    Turn on AutoFDO build config:
      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
    With a configuration that has LLVM enabled, use the following
    command:
       scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG
    After getting the config, build with
      $ make LLVM=1

2) Install the kernel on the test machine.

3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
   event period. We suggest     using a suitable prime number,
   like 500009, for this purpose.
   For Intel platforms:
      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
        -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
   For AMD platforms:
      The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
     For Zen3:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
      For Zen4:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
      $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
        -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>

4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.

5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available:
   create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part
   of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub
   (https://github.com/google/autofdo), version v0.30.1 or later. The
   llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's
   important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to
   match the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release or
   later, or from the LLVM trunk.
      $ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> \
        -o <profile_file>
   or
      $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
        --format=extbinary --out=<profile_file>

   Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via:
      $ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file>  <profile_1> ... <profile_n>

6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config
   as step 1, (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled):
      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file>

572cd1d2a9 kconfig: qconf: avoid unnecessary parentSelected() when ESC is pressed
When the ESC key is pressed, the parentSelected() signal is currently
emitted for singleMode, menuMode, and symbolMode.

However, parentSelected() signal is functional only for singleMode.

In menuMode, the signal is connected to the goBack() slot, but nothing
occurs because configList->rootEntry is always &rootmenu.

In symbolMode (in the right pane), the parentSelected() signal is not
connected to any slot.

This commit prevents the unnecessary emission of the parentSelected()
signal.
