The 'id' pointer is never NULL since it has the same address as
'symval'.
Also, checking (*id)[0] is simpler than calling strlen().

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.

Set the -e option to ensure this script fails on any unexpected errors.

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

$ 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).

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.

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

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>

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.

With -ffunction-sections, the compiler places each function in its own

the .text section. In the AutoFDO build, this allows the linker to
utilize profile information to reorganize functions for improved
utilization of iCache and iTLB.

Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a frequent
source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide new
developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very nice.
- Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
_not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up locally
ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).
- Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance, our
first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
importantly, enabling the checking of private items.
- Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.
- Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is the
support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e. as
receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc' that
common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has been
accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps required to
get there.
- Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.
- Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.
- Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize' instead
of 32/64-bit integers.
- Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.
- Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some distributions
backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All major distributions
we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.
'macros' crate:
- Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and
clean up and enable the corresponding doctests.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove
the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the extension
traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags.
Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'.
Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type 'T'
that is also generic over an allocator and considers the kernel's GFP
flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add 'ArrayLayout'
type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type) and its shorthand
aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator support.
For instance, now we may write code such as:
let mut v = KVec::new();
v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?;
assert_eq!(&v, &[1]);
Treewide, move as well old users to these new types.
- 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the
'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types
and the 'global_lock!' macro. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method.
- 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make
conversion functions public.
- 'page' module: add 'page_align' function.
- Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes'
traits.
- 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation.
- 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple
examples for the 'Either' types.
drm/panic:
- Clean up a series of Clippy warnings.
Documentation:
- Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature.
- Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.
MAINTAINERS:

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a
frequent source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide
new developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very
nice.
- Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
_not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up
locally ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).
- Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance,
our first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
importantly, enabling the checking of private items.
- Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.
- Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is
the support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e.
as receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc'
that common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has
been accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps
required to get there.
- Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.
- Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.
- Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize'
instead of 32/64-bit integers.
- Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.
- Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some
distributions backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All
major distributions we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.

* sysctl ctl_table constification
Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler
function pointers. All ctl_table struct arguments are const qualified in the
sysctl API in such a way that the ctl_table arrays being defined elsewhere
and passed through sysctl can be constified one-by-one. We kick the
constification off by qualifying user_table in kernel/ucount.c and expect all
the ctl_tables to be constified in the coming releases.
* Misc fixes
Adjust comments in two places to better reflect the code. Remove superfluous
dput calls. Remove Luis from sysctl maintainership. Replace comments about
holding a lock with calls to lockdep_assert_held.
* Testing
All these went through 0-day and they have all been in linux-next for at
least 1 month (since Oct-24). I also rand these through the sysctl selftest
for x86_64.

There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit. This
location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under
an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits
the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call
parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the
callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them.
Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf,

- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
straight forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
- Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
other clusters.
- Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Currently if an fopen fails the error exit path is via code that
checks if fp is not null and closes the file, however, fp is null
so this check and close is redundant. Since the only use of the
err exit label is on the fopen check, remove it and replace the
code with a simple return of errno. Also remove variable rc since
it's no longer required.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Add support for netlink xperms
Some time ago we added the concept of "xperms" to the SELinux policy
so that we could write policy for individual ioctls, this builds upon
this by using extending xperms to netlink so that we can write
SELinux policy for individual netlnk message types and not rely on
the fairly coarse read/write mapping tables we currently have.
There are limitations involving generic netlink due to the
multiplexing that is done, but it's no worse that what we currently
have. As usual, more information can be found in the commit message.
- Deprecate /sys/fs/selinux/user
We removed the only known userspace use of this back in 2020 and now
that several years have elapsed we're starting down the path of
deprecating it in the kernel.
- Cleanup the build under scripts/selinux
A couple of patches to move the genheaders tool under
security/selinux and correct our usage of kernel headers in the tools
located under scripts/selinux. While these changes originated out of
an effort to build Linux on different systems, they are arguably the
right thing to do regardless.
- Minor code cleanups and style fixes
Not much to say here, two minor cleanup patches that came out of the
netlink xperms work

When testing a `clang` upgrade with Rust Binder, Alice encountered [1] a
build failure caused by `bindgen` not translating some symbols related to
tracepoints. This was caused by commit 2e770edd8ce1 ("[libclang] Compute
the right spelling location") changing the behavior of a function exposed
by `libclang`. `bindgen` fixed the regression in commit 600f63895f73
("Use clang_getFileLocation instead of clang_getSpellingLocation").
However, the regression fix is only available in `bindgen` versions
0.69.5 or later (it was backported for 0.69.x). This means that when
older bindgen versions are used with new versions of `libclang`, `bindgen`
may do the wrong thing, which could lead to a build failure.
Alice encountered the bug with some header files related to tracepoints,
but it could also cause build failures in other circumstances. Thus,
always emit a warning when using an old `bindgen` with a new `libclang`
so that other people do not have to spend time chasing down the same
bug.
However, testing just the version is inconvenient, since distributions
do patch their packages without changing the version, so I reduced the
issue into the following piece of code that can trigger the issue:
#define F(x) int x##x
F(foo);
In particular, an unpatched `bindgen` will ignore the macro expansion
and thus not provide a declaration for the exported `int`.
Thus add a build test to `rust_is_available.sh` using the code above
(that is only triggered if the versions appear to be affected), following
what we did for the 0.66.x issue.
Moreover, I checked the status in the major distributions we have
instructions for:
- Fedora 41 was affected but is now OK, since it now ships `bindgen`
0.69.5.
Thanks Ben for the quick reply on the updates that were ongoing.
Fedora 40 and earlier are OK (older `libclang`, and they also now
carry `bindgen` 0.69.5).
- Debian Sid was affected but is now OK, since they now ship a patched
`bindgen` binary (0.66.1-7+b3). The issue was reported to Debian by
email and then as a bug report [2].
Thanks NoisyCoil and Matthias for the quick replies. NoisyCoil handled
the needed updates. Debian may upgrade to `bindgen` 0.70.x, too.
Debian Testing is OK (older `libclang` so far).
- Ubuntu non-LTS (oracular) is affected. The issue was reported to Ubuntu
by email and then as a bug report [3].
Ubuntu LTS is not affected (older `libclang` so far).
- Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux and openSUSE should be OK (newer `bindgen` is
provided). Nix as well (older `libclang` so far).
This issue was also added to our "live list" that tracks issues around
distributions [4].

Pass the value of make's -j/--jobs argument to pahole, to avoid out of
memory errors and make pahole respect the "jobs" value of make.
On systems with little memory but many cores, invoking pahole using -j
without argument potentially creates too many pahole instances,
causing an out-of-memory situation. Instead, we should pass make's
"jobs" value as an argument to pahole's -j, which is likely configured
to be (much) lower than the actual core count on such systems.
If make was invoked without -j, either via cmdline or MAKEFLAGS, then
JOBS will be simply empty, resulting in the existing behavior, as
expected.

When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

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.
Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel:
1) Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled, for example,
$ 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>

Do not add an extra space at the end of the line if module is not set,

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.

To allow the Rust implementation of static_key_false to use runtime code
patching instead of the generic implementation, pull in the relevant
inline assembly from the jump_label.h header by running the C
preprocessor on a .rs.S file. Build rules are added for .rs.S files.
Since the relevant inline asm has been adjusted to export the inline asm
via the ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH_ASM macro in a consistent way, the Rust side
does not need architecture specific code to pull in the asm.
It is not possible to use the existing C implementation of
arch_static_branch via a Rust helper because it passes the argument
`key` to inline assembly as an 'i' parameter. Any attempt to add a C
helper for this function will fail to compile because the value of `key`
must be known at compile-time.

Some architectures embed boot DTBs in vmlinux. A potential issue for
these architectures is a race condition during parallel builds because
Kbuild descends into arch/*/boot/dts/ twice.
One build thread is initiated by the 'dtbs' target, which is a
prerequisite of the 'all' target in the top-level Makefile:
ifdef CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
all: dtbs
endif
For architectures that support the built-in boot dtb, arch/*/boot/dts/
is visited also during the ordinary directory traversal in order to
build obj-y objects that wrap DTBs.
Since these build threads are unaware of each other, they can run
simultaneously during parallel builds.
This commit introduces a generic build rule to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux
to support embedded boot DTBs in a race-free way. Architectures that
want to use this rule need to select CONFIG_GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB.
After the migration, Makefiles under arch/*/boot/dts/ will be visited
only once to build only *.dtb files.
This change also aims to unify the CONFIG options used for built-in DTBs
support. Currently, different architectures use different CONFIG options
for the same purposes.
With this commit, the CONFIG options will be unified as follows:
- CONFIG_GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB
This enables the generic rule for built-in boot DTBs. This will be
renamed to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB after all architectures migrate to the
generic rule.
- CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME
This specifies the path to the embedded DTB.
(relative to arch/*/boot/dts/)
- CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_ALL
If this is enabled, all DTB files compiled under arch/*/boot/dts/ are
embedded into vmlinux. Only used by MIPS.

When building a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit build host, incorrect
input MODULE_ALIAS() entries may be generated.
For example, when compiling a 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
on a 64-bit build machine, you will get the correct output:
$ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");
However, building the same kernel on a 32-bit machine results in
incorrect output:
$ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*130,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*16A,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*165,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*20,*21,*38,*3C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*130,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");
A similar issue occurs with CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m. On a 64-bit build
machine, the output is:
$ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*120,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*130,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
However, on a 32-bit machine, the output is incorrect:
$ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*20,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*22,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*28,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*26,*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*2E0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
When building a 64-bit kernel, BITS_PER_LONG is defined as 64. However,
on a 32-bit build machine, the constant 1L is a signed 32-bit value.
Left-shifting it beyond 32 bits causes wraparound, and shifting by 31
or 63 bits makes it a negative value.
The fix in commit e0e9263271 ("[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix:
modpost-64bit-fix.patch") is incorrect; it only addresses cases where
a 64-bit kernel is built on a 64-bit build machine, overlooking cases
on a 32-bit build machine.
Using 1ULL ensures a 64-bit width on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines,
avoiding the wraparound issue.

When CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=m, modpost outputs incorect acpi
MODULE_ALIAS() if the endianness of the target and the build machine
do not match.
When the endianness of the target kernel and the build machine match,
the output is correct:
$ grep 'MODULE_ALIAS("acpi' drivers/ata/ahci_platform.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:APMC0D33:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:010601:*");
However, when building a little-endian kernel on a big-endian machine
(or vice versa), the output is incorrect:
$ grep 'MODULE_ALIAS("acpi' drivers/ata/ahci_platform.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:APMC0D33:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:0601??:*");
The 'cls' and 'cls_msk' fields are 32-bit.
DEF_FIELD() must be used instead of DEF_FIELD_ADDR() to correctly handle
endianness of these 32-bit fields.
The check 'if (cls)' was unnecessary; it never became NULL, as it was
the pointer to 'symval' plus the offset to the 'cls' field.

Since commit f79dc03fe6 ("kconfig: refactor choice value
calculation"), when EXPERT is disabled, nothing within the "if INPUT"
... "endif" block in drivers/input/Kconfig is displayed. This issue
affects all command-line interfaces and GUI frontends.
The prompt for INPUT is hidden when EXPERT is disabled. Previously,
menu_is_visible() returned true in this case; however, it now returns
false, resulting in all sub-menu entries being skipped.
Here is a simplified test case illustrating the issue:
config A
bool "A" if X
default y
config B
bool "B"
depends on A
When X is disabled, A becomes unconfigurable and is forced to y.
B should be displayed, as its dependency is met.
This commit restores the necessary code, so menu_is_visible() functions
as it did previously.

I believe this issue is less common on Fedora because the disto's cross-
compilier cannot link user-space programs. Hence, CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK is
unset.
On Fedora 40, the package information explains this limitation clearly:
$ dnf info gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu

Description : Cross-build GNU C compiler.
:
: Only building kernels is currently supported. Support for cross-building
: user space programs is not currently provided as that would massively multiply
: the number of packages.
Anyway, cross-compiling RPM packages is somewhat challenging.
This commit disables the kernel-devel package when cross-compiling
because I did not come up with a better solution.

On powerpc, we would like to be able to make a pass on vmlinux.o and
generate a new object file to be linked into vmlinux. Add a generic pass
in Makefile.vmlinux that architectures can use for this purpose.
Architectures need to select CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_PRE_LINK_VMLINUX and must
provide arch/<arch>/tools/Makefile with .arch.vmlinux.o target, which
will be invoked prior to the final vmlinux link step.

Some old versions of `rustc` did not report the LLVM version without
the patch version, e.g.:
$ rustc --version --verbose
rustc 1.48.0 (7eac88abb 2020-11-16)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: 7eac88abb2e57e752f3302f02be5f3ce3d7adfb4
commit-date: 2020-11-16
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
release: 1.48.0
LLVM version: 11.0
Which would make the new `scripts/rustc-llvm-version.sh` fail and,
in turn, the build:
$ make LLVM=1
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd
./scripts/rustc-llvm-version.sh: 13: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "10000 * 10 + 100 * 0 + "

make[1]: *** [/home/cam/linux/Makefile:780: include/config/auto.conf.cmd] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:224: __sub-make] Error 2
Since we do not need to support such binaries, we can avoid adding logic
for computing `rustc`'s LLVM version for those old binaries.
Thus, instead, just make the match stricter.
Other `rustc` binaries (even newer) did not report the LLVM version at
all, but that was fine, since it would not match "LLVM", e.g.:
$ rustc --version --verbose

On 64-bit architectures without CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS
(e.g. ppc64, ppc64le, parisc, s390x,...) the __KSYM_REF() macro stores
64-bit pointers into the __ksymtab* sections.
Make sure that those sections will be correctly aligned at module link time,
otherwise unaligned memory accesses may happen at runtime.

This reverts commit c02904f05f.
Such commit assumed that only two symbols are relevant for the symbol
size calculation. However, this can lead to an incorrect symbol size
calculation when there are mapping symbols emitted by readelf.
For instance, when feeding 'update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4', faddr2line
might need to process the following readelf lines:
784284: ffffffc0081cca30 428 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 update_irq_load_avg
87319: ffffffc0081ccb0c 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62522
87321: ffffffc0081ccbdc 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62524
87323: ffffffc0081ccbe0 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62526
87325: ffffffc0081ccbe4 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62528
87327: ffffffc0081ccbe8 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62530
87329: ffffffc0081ccbec 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62532
87331: ffffffc0081ccbf0 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62534
87332: ffffffc0081ccbf4 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62535
783403: ffffffc0081ccbf4 424 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 sched_pelt_multiplier
The symbol size of 'update_irq_load_avg' should be calculated with the
address of 'sched_pelt_multiplier', after skipping the mapping symbols
seen in between. However, the offending commit cuts the list short and
faddr2line incorrectly assumes 'update_irq_load_avg' is the last symbol
in the section, resulting in:
$ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
skipping update_irq_load_avg address at 0xffffffc0081cca4c due to size mismatch (0x1c4 != 0x3ff9a59988)
no match for update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
After reverting the commit the issue is resolved:
$ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4:
cpu_of at kernel/sched/sched.h:1109

output_function_rst() does not handle object-like macros. It presents
a trailing "()" while output_function_man() handles these macros
correctly.
Update output_function_rst() to handle object-like macros.
Don't show the "Parameters" heading if there are no parameters.
For output_function_man(), don't show the "ARGUMENTS" heading if there
are no parameters.
I have tested this quite a bit with my ad hoc test files for both ReST
and man format outputs. The generated output looks good.
