The first error message in device_id_check() is obscure and can be
misleading because the cause of the error is unlikely to be found in
the struct definition in mod_devicetable.h.
This type of error occurs when an array is passed to an incorrect type
of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
[Example 1]
static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = {
{ "FOO" },
{ /* sentinel */ },
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, foo_ids);
Currently, modpost outputs a meaningless suggestion:
ERROR: modpost: ...: sizeof(struct of_device_id)=200 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_device_table__of__<identifier>=64.
Fix definition of struct of_device_id in mod_devicetable.h
The root cause here is that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) is used instead
of the correct MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ...).
This commit provides a more intuitive error message:
ERROR: modpost: ...: type mismatch between foo_ids[] and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...)
The second error message, related to a missing terminator, is too
verbose.
[Example 2]
static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = {
{ "FOO" },
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, foo_ids);
The current error message is overly long, and does not pinpoint the
incorrect array:
...: struct acpi_device_id is 32 bytes. The last of 1 is:
0x46 0x4f 0x4f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
ERROR: modpost: ...: struct acpi_device_id is not terminated with a NULL entry!
This commit changes it to a more concise error message, sufficient to
identify the incorrect array:
ERROR: modpost: ...: foo_ids[] is not terminated with a NULL entry
Lastly, this commit squashes device_id_check() into do_table() and
changes fatal() into error(), allowing modpost to continue processing
other modules.

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");

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.

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.

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

$ 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

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, objtool is disabled in scripts/Makefile.{modfinal,vmlinux}.
This commit moves rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S to scripts/Makefile.lib

This rule is unnecessary because you can generate foo/bar.symtypes

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

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.

Enable -ffunction-sections by default for the AutoFDO build.
With -ffunction-sections, the compiler places each function in its own
section named .text.function_name instead of placing all functions in
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:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.
And a few other small cleanups and fixes.

- '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:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.

performs some cleanups in the resource management code.
- The series "Improve the copy of task comm" from Yafang Shao addresses
possible race-induced overflows in the management of task_struct.comm[].
- The series "Remove unnecessary header includes from
{tools/}lib/list_sort.c" from Kuan-Wei Chiu adds some cleanups and a
small fix to the list_sort library code and to its selftest.
- The series "Enhance min heap API with non-inline functions and
optimizations" also from Kuan-Wei Chiu optimizes and cleans up the
min_heap library code.
- The series "nilfs2: Finish folio conversion" from Ryusuke Konishi
finishes off nilfs2's folioification.
- The series "add detect count for hung tasks" from Lance Yang adds more
userspace visibility into the hung-task detector's activity.
- Apart from that, singelton patches in many places - please see the
individual changelogs for details.

- Allow Rust code to have trace events
Trace events is a popular way to debug what is happening inside the kernel
or just to find out what is happening. Rust code is being added to the
Linux kernel but it currently does not support the tracing infrastructure.
Add support of trace events inside Rust code.
