'make deb-pkg' builds build-arch in parallel, but binary-arch serially.
Given that all binary packages are independent of one another, they can
be built in parallel.
I am uncertain whether debian/files is robust against a race condition.
Just in case, make dh_gencontrol (dpkg-gencontrol) output to separate
debian/*.files, which are then concatenated into debian/files.

Add $(Q) to the commands in debian/rules to make them quiet when the

When the Debian package build is initiated by Kbuild ('make deb-pkg'
or 'make bindeb-pkg'), the log messages are displayed in the short
form, which is the Kbuild default.
Otherwise, let's show verbose messages (unless the 'terse' tag is set
in DEB_BUILD_OPTION), as suggested by Debian Policy: "The package build
should be as verbose as reasonably possible, except where the terse tag
is included in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS." [1]
This is what the Debian kernel also does. [2]

Retrieve the list of *.dtb(o) files from arch/*/boot/dts/dtbs-list
instead of traversing the directory tree again.
Please note that 'make dtbs_install' installs *.dtb(o) files directly
added to dtb-y because scripts/Makefile.dtbinst installs $(dtb-y)
without expanding the -dtbs suffix.
This commit preserves this behavior.

It is useful to have a list of all *.dtb and *.dtbo files generated
from the current build.
With this commit, 'make dtbs' creates arch/*/boot/dts/dtbs-list, which
lists the dtb(o) files created in the current build. It maintains the
order of the dtb-y additions in Makefiles although the order is not
important for DTBs. It is a (good) side effect through the reuse of the
modules.order rule.
Please note this list only includes the files directly added to dtb-y.
For example, consider this case:
foo-dtbs := foo_base.dtb foo_overlay.dtbo
dtb-y := foo.dtb
In this example, the list will include foo.dtb, but not foo_base.dtb
or foo_overlay.dtbo.

This results in the following error message:

In Kconfig, there is a stack to save the lexer state for each inclusion
level.
Currently, it operates as an empty stack, with the 'current_buf' always
pointing to an empty buffer. There is no need to preallocate the buffer.

Certain assembler instruction tests may only induce warnings from the
assembler on an unsupported instruction or option, which causes as-instr
to succeed when it was expected to fail. Some tests workaround this
limitation by additionally testing that invalid input fails as expected.
However, this is fragile if the assembler is changed to accept the
invalid input, as it will cause the instruction/option to be unavailable
like it was unsupported even when it is.
Use '-Wa,--fatal-warnings' in the as-instr macro to turn these warnings
into hard errors, which avoids this fragility and makes tests more
robust and well formed.

This file is using an ungodly mixture of 4 spaces, 2-wide tabs, 4-wide
tabs, _and_ 8-wide tabs, making it really hard to find good editor
settings for working with this file.
Bite the bullet and reindent it by hand. I tried using both perltidy
and vim, but neither of them were up to the task without changing too
much or getting confused about what they were supposed to be doing.
I did change a few instances of
}
else
into
} else
(and same for elsif); the file is again written using both styles, and
I left functions which already seemed self-consistent alone.
You can verify that this commit only changes whitespace using e.g.:
git diff --ignore-all-space --word-diff
or to see (only) the instances where newlines were added/removed:
git diff --ignore-all-space
You can also see the delta from what perltidy would have wanted to
do to this file (when asked to only indent it), which isn't that much
in the end:
perltidy -io -fnl scripts/kernel-doc
git diff --no-index scripts/kernel-doc{,.tdy}

Commit 90ceddcb4950 ("bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF")
changed the ELF type of .btf.vmlinux.bin.o to ET_REL via dd, which works
fine for little endian platforms:
00000000 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.ELF............|

+00000010 01 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff |................|
However, for big endian platforms, it changes the wrong byte, resulting
in an invalid ELF file type, which ld.lld rejects:
00000000 7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.ELF............|

It is more accurate to check if KVM is enabled, instead of having the
architecture say so. Architectures always "have" KVM, so for example
checking CONFIG_HAVE_KVM in x86 code is pointless, but if KVM is disabled
in a specific build, there is no need for support code.
Alternatively, many of the #ifdefs could simply be deleted. However,
this would add completely dead code. For example, when KVM is disabled,
there should not be any posted interrupts, i.e. NOT wiring up the "dummy"
handlers and treating IRQs on those vectors as spurious is the right
thing to do.

Geert Uytterhoeven reported that commit 4e244c10eab3 ("kconfig: remove
unneeded symbol_empty variable") changed the default value of
CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT from 12 to 0.
As it turned out, this is an undefined behavior because sym_calc_value()
stopped setting the sym->curr.tri field for 'int', 'hex', and 'string'
symbols.
This commit restores the original behavior, where 'int', 'hex', 'string'
symbols are interpreted as false if used in boolean contexts.
CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT will default to 12 again, irrespective
of CONFIG_BASE_SMALL. Presumably, this is not the intended behavior,
as already reported [1], but this is another issue that should be
addressed by a separate patch.

The new installkernel application that is now included in systemd-udev
package allows installation although destination files are already present
in the boot directory of the kernel package, but is failing with the
implemented workaround for the old installkernel application from grubby
package.
For the new installkernel application, as Davide says:
<<The %post currently does a shuffling dance before calling installkernel.
This isn't actually necessary afaict, and the current implementation
ends up triggering downstream issues such as
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29568
This commit simplifies the logic to remove the shuffling. For reference,
the original logic was added in commit 3c9c7a14b627("rpm-pkg: add %post
section to create initramfs and grub hooks").>>
But we need to keep the old behavior as well, because the old installkernel
application from grubby package, does not allow this simplification and
we need to be backward compatible to avoid issues with the different
packages.
Mimic Fedora shipping process and store vmlinuz, config amd System.map
in the module directory instead of the boot directory. In this way, we will
avoid the commented problem for all the cases, because the new destination
files are not going to exist in the boot directory of the kernel package.
Replace installkernel tool with kernel-install tool, because the latter is
more complete.
Besides, after installkernel tool execution, check to complete if the
correct package files vmlinuz, System.map and config files are present
in /boot directory, and if necessary, copy manually for install operation.
In this way, take into account if files were not previously copied from
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/* scripts and if the suitable files for the
requested package are present (it could be others if the rpm files were
replace with a new pacakge with the same release and a different build).
Tested with Fedora 38, Fedora 39, RHEL 9, Oracle Linux 9.3,

The generated bpf_helper_defs.h file currently contains definitions
like this for the kernel helpers, which are static objects:
static void *(*bpf_map_lookup_elem)(void *map, const void *key) = (void *) 1;
These work well in both clang and GCC because both compilers do
constant propagation with -O1 and higher optimization, resulting in
`call 1' BPF instructions being generated, which are calls to kernel
helpers.
However, there is a discrepancy on how the -Wunused-variable
warning (activated by -Wall) is handled in these compilers:
- clang will not emit -Wunused-variable warnings for static variables
defined in C header files, be them constant or not constant.
- GCC will not emit -Wunused-variable warnings for _constant_ static
variables defined in header files, but it will emit warnings for
non-constant static variables defined in header files.
There is no reason for these bpf_helpers_def.h pointers to not be
declared constant, and it is actually desirable to do so, since their
values are not to be changed. So this patch modifies bpf_doc.py to
generate prototypes like:
static void *(* const bpf_map_lookup_elem)(void *map, const void *key) = (void *) 1;
This allows GCC to not error while compiling BPF programs with `-Wall
-Werror', while still being able to detect and error on legitimate
unused variables in the program themselves.
This change doesn't impact the desired constant propagation in neither
Clang nor GCC with -O1 and higher. On the contrary, being declared as
constant may increase the odds they get constant folded when
used/referred to in certain circumstances.
Tested in bpf-next master.
No regressions.

After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a
segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost:
unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a
warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown)
WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references
section ".ltext" which is not in the list of
authorized sections. If you're adding a new section
and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the
list of authorized sections to jump to on fault.
This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to
OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c.
The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and
'.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large',
which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text'
and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.74.1 to 1.75.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
The `const_maybe_uninit_zeroed` unstable feature [3] was stabilized in
Rust 1.75.0, which we were using in the PHYLIB abstractions.
The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.
Please see [4] for details.
# Other improvements
Rust 1.75.0 stabilized `pointer_byte_offsets` [5] which we could
potentially use as an alternative for `ptr_metadata` in the future.
# Required changes
For this upgrade, no changes were required (i.e. on our side).
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

The existing mainline clang development version encounters difficulties
compiling the LoongArch kernel module. It is anticipated that this issue
will be resolved in the upcoming 18.0.0 release. To prevent user
confusion arising from broken builds, it is advisable to raise the
minimum required clang version for LoongArch to 18.0.0.

With recent trunk versions of binutils and gcc, alignment directives are
represented with R_LARCH_ALIGN relocs on LoongArch, which is necessary
for the linker to maintain alignment requirements during its relaxation
passes. And even though the kernel is built with relaxation disabled, so
far a small number of R_LARCH_RELAX marker relocs are still emitted as
part of la.* pseudo instructions in assembly. These two kinds of relocs
do not refer to symbols, which can trip up modpost's section mismatch
checks, because the r_offset of said relocs can be zero or any other
meaningless value, eventually leading to a `from == NULL` condition in
default_mismatch_handler and SIGSEGV.
As the two kinds of relocs are not concerned with symbols, just ignore
them for section mismatch check purposes.

GNU's addr2line can have problems parsing a vmlinux built with LLVM,
particularly when LTO was used. In order to decode the traces correctly
this patch adds the ability to switch to LLVM's utilities readelf and
addr2line. The same approach is followed by Will in [1].
Before:
$ scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux < kernel.log
[17716.240635] Call trace:
[17716.240646] skb_cow_data (??:?)
[17716.240654] esp6_input (ld-temp.o:?)
[17716.240666] xfrm_input (ld-temp.o:?)
[17716.240674] xfrm6_rcv (??:?)
[...]
After:
$ LLVM=1 scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux < kernel.log
[17716.240635] Call trace:
[17716.240646] skb_cow_data (include/linux/skbuff.h:2172 net/core/skbuff.c:4503)
[17716.240654] esp6_input (net/ipv6/esp6.c:977)

[17716.240674] xfrm6_rcv (net/ipv6/xfrm6_input.c:172)
[...]
Note that one could set CROSS_COMPILE=llvm- instead to hack around this
issue. However, doing so can break the decodecode routine as it will
force the selection of other LLVM utilities down the line e.g. llvm-as.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute
- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void
- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write
