If RUST_LIB_SRC is defined in the top-level Makefile (via an environment
variable or command line), it is already exported.
The only situation where it is defined but not exported is when the
top-level Makefile is wrapped by another Makefile (e.g., GNUmakefile).
I cannot think of any other use cases.
I know some people use this tip to define custom variables. However,
even in that case, you can export it directly in the wrapper Makefile.
Example GNUmakefile:
export RUST_LIB_SRC = /path/to/your/sysroot/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library
include Makefile

Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.
The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
- modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
- vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
per section
- vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
- .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE
The generated data will look like:
.text 00000000-00000000 = _text
.text 0000baf0-0000cb10 amd_uncore
.text 0009bd10-0009c8e0 iosf_mbi
...
.text 00b9f080-00ba011a intel_skl_int3472_discrete
.text 00ba0120-00ba03c0 intel_skl_int3472_discrete intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
.text 00ba03c0-00ba08d6 intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
...
.data 00000000-00000000 = _sdata
.data 0000f020-0000f680 amd_uncore
For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol. This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.
Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules. Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.
The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.
How it works:
1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
referred to as <kmodfile>). This object name can be used to
identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
-DKBUILD_MODFILE=<kmodfile> present in its build command, and those
can be found in the .<obj>.cmd file in the kernel build tree.
If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.
This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
kernel build belong to any modules, and which.
2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
turned into offsets. This makes it possible to handle sections
getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.
We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).
We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
level section. This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
know what object a symbol is found in.
And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
(or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:
vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:
vmlinux.map:
<top level section>
<included section> -- might be same as top level section)
<object> -- built-in association known
<symbol> -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
...
vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:
vmlinux.map:
<top level section>
<included section> -- might be same as top level section)
vmlinux.o -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
<symbol> -- ignored
...
vmlinux.o.map:
<section>
<object> -- built-in association known
<symbol> -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
...
3. As sections, objects, and symbols are processed, offset ranges are
constructed in a straight-forward way:
- If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:
- If we were working on the same module(s), extend the range
to include this object
- If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
and start the new one
- If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:
- If we were working on a module(s) range, close that range

Support for several Rust compiler versions started in commit 63b27f4a00
("rust: start supporting several compiler versions"). Since we currently
need to use a number of unstable features in the kernel, it is a matter
of time until one gets stabilized and the `stable_features` lint warns.
For instance, the `new_uninit` feature may become stable soon, which
would give us multiple warnings like the following:
warning: the feature `new_uninit` has been stable since 1.82.0-dev
and no longer requires an attribute to enable
--> rust/kernel/lib.rs:17:12
|
17 | #![feature(new_uninit)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(stable_features)]` on by default
Thus allow the `stable_features` lint to avoid such warnings. This is
the simplest approach -- we do not have that many cases (and the goal
is to stop using unstable features anyway) and cleanups can be easily
done when we decide to update the minimum version.
An alternative would be to conditionally enable them based on the
compiler version (with the upcoming `RUSTC_VERSION` or maybe with the
unstable `cfg(version(...))`, but that one apparently will not work for
the nightly case). However, doing so is more complex and may not work
well for different nightlies of the same version, unless we do not care
about older nightlies.
Another alternative is using explicit tests of the feature calling
`rustc`, but that is also more complex and slower.

The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust

The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers 3 stable Rust
releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow), plus beta,
plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates.
Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages:
* The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and
bootloader configuration
* Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks
* New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping
The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the
downstream Arch Linux "linux" package.
Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have
been removed and an UAPI header package has been added.

Kbuild provides scripts/Makefile.host to build host programs used for
building the kernel. Unfortunately, there are two exceptions that opt
out of Kbuild. The build system under tools/ is a cheesy replica, and
cause issues. I was recently poked about a problem in the tools build
system, which I do not maintain (and nobody maintains). [1]
Without a comment, people might believe this is the right location
because that is where objtool lives, even if a more robust Kbuild
syntax satisfies their needs. [2]

There are 11 copies of arch/*/kernel/syscalls/Makefile that all implement
the same basic logic in a somewhat awkward way.
I tried out various ways of unifying the existing copies and ended up
with something that hooks into the logic for generating the redirections
to asm-generic headers. This gives a nicer syntax of being able to list
the generated files in $(syscall-y) inside of arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
instead of both $(generated-y) in that place and also in another
Makefile.
The configuration for which syscall.tbl file to use and which ABIs to
enable is now done in arch/*/kernel/Makefile.syscalls. I have done
patches for all architectures and made sure that the new generic
rules implement a superset of all the architecture specific corner
cases.
ince the header file is not specific to asm-generic/*.h redirects
now, I ended up renaming the file to scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.

All Clippy lint groups that we enable, except `correctness`, have a
default `warn` level, thus they may be removed now that we relaxed all
lints to `warn`.
Moreover, Clippy provides an `all` lint group that covers the groups
we enable by default. Thus just use `all` instead -- the only change is
that, if Clippy introduces a new lint group or splits an existing one,
we will cover that one automatically.
In addition, `let_unit_value` is in `style` since Rust 1.62.0, thus it
does not need to be enabled manually.

Since we are starting to support several Rust toolchains, lints (including
Clippy ones) now may behave differently and lint groups may include
new lints.
Therefore, to maximize the chances a given version works, relax some
deny-level lints to warnings. It may also make our lives a bit easier
while developing new code or refactoring.
To be clear, the requirements for in-tree code are still the same, since
Rust code still needs to be warning-free (patches should be clean under
`WERROR=y`) and the set of lints is not changed.
`unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` is left unmodified, i.e. as an error, since it is
becoming the default in the language (warn-by-default in Rust 2024 [1] and
ideally an error later on) and thus it should also be very well tested. In
addition, it is simple enough that it should not have false positives
(unlike e.g. `rust_2018_idioms`'s `explicit_outlives_requirements`).
`non_ascii_idents` is left unmodified as well, i.e. as an error, since
it is unlikely one gains any productivity during development if it
were a warning (in fact, it may be worse, since it is likely one made
a typo). In addition, it should not have false positives.
Finally, put the two `-D` ones at the top and take the chance to do one
per line.

1) Provide a better error message for the "Rust not available" case.
Without this patch, one gets various misleading messages, such as:
"No rule to make target 'rust-analyzer'"
Instead, run scripts/rust_is_available.sh directly, as a prerequisite,
and let that script report the cause of any problems, as well as
providing a link to the documentation. Thanks to Miguel Ojeda for the
idea of just letting rust_is_available.sh report its results directly.

Since we dropped our custom `alloc` in commit 9d0441bab7 ("rust: alloc:
remove our fork of the `alloc` crate"), there is no need anymore to keep
the custom sysroot hack.
Thus delete it, which makes the target way simpler and faster too.
This also means we are not using Cargo for anything at the moment,
and that no download is required anymore, so update the main `Makefile`
and the documentation accordingly.

Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run
floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names,
header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.
provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is rebuilt every time w/wo the [M] marker.
arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as built-in when it is built as

arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as modular when it is built as
a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.o, which is a module.
Another odd example is single target builds.
When CONFIG_LKDTM=m, drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o can be built as
built-in or modular, depending on how it is built.
$ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.o

$ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o

drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o is built as modular when it is built as a
prerequisite of another, but built as built-in when it is a final
target.
The same thing happens to drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s when
CONFIG_TI_EMIF_SRAM=m.
$ make drivers/memory/ti-emif-sram.o

checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:
src := $(obj)
When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.
This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:
$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

There is an issue in clang's ThinLTO caching (enabled for the kernel via
'--thinlto-cache-dir') with .incbin, which the kernel occasionally uses
to include data within the kernel, such as the .config file for
/proc/config.gz. For example, when changing the .config and rebuilding
vmlinux, the copy of .config in vmlinux does not match the copy of
.config in the build folder:
$ echo 'CONFIG_LTO_NONE=n
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y
CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y' >kernel/configs/repro.config
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean defconfig repro.config vmlinux
...
$ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
$ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
$ scripts/config -d HEADERS_INSTALL
$ make -kj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 vmlinux
...
UPD kernel/config_data
GZIP kernel/config_data.gz
CC kernel/configs.o
...
LD vmlinux
...
$ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config
# CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL is not set
$ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
Without '--thinlto-cache-dir' or when using full LTO, this issue does
not occur.
Benchmarking incremental builds on a few different machines with and
without the cache shows a 20% increase in incremental build time without
the cache when measured by touching init/main.c and running 'make all'.
ARCH=arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y on an arm64 host:
Benchmark 1: With ThinLTO cache
Time (mean ± σ): 56.347 s ± 0.163 s [User: 83.768 s, System: 24.661 s]
Range (min … max): 56.109 s … 56.594 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: Without ThinLTO cache
Time (mean ± σ): 67.740 s ± 0.479 s [User: 718.458 s, System: 31.797 s]
Range (min … max): 67.059 s … 68.556 s 10 runs

While it is unfortunate to take this performance improvement off the
table, correctness is more important. If/when this is fixed in LLVM, it
can potentially be brought back in a conditional manner. Alternatively,
a developer can just disable LTO if doing incremental compiles quickly
is important, as a full compile cycle can still take over a minute even
with the cache and it is unlikely that LTO will result in functional
differences for a kernel change.

Running dtbs_check and dt_compatible_check targets really only depend
on processed-schema.json, but the dependency is 'dt_binding_check'. That
was sort worked around with the CHECK_DT_BINDING variable in order to
skip some of the work that 'dt_binding_check' does. It still runs the
full checks of the schemas which is not necessary and adds 10s of
seconds to the build time. That's significant when checking only a few
DTBs and with recent changes that have improved the validation time by
6-7x.
Add a new target, dt_binding_schema, which just builds
processed-schema.json and can be used as the dependency for other
targets. The scripts_dtc dependency isn't needed either as the examples
aren't built for it.
