Like syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh, add a simple script to generate
the __NR_syscalls, which should not be exported to userspace.
This script is useful to replace arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscallnr.sh,
refactor arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl, and eliminate the code
surrounded by #ifdef __KERNEL__ / #endif from exported uapi/asm/unistd_*.h
files.

Currently, syscall{hdr,tbl}.sh sorts the entire syscall table, but you
can assume it is already sorted by the syscall number.
The generated syscall table does not work if the same syscall number
appears twice. Check it in the script.

Add "auto" to the usage message so that it's a little clearer that you can
pass "auto" as the second argument. When passing "auto" the script tries
to find the base path automatically instead of requiring it be passed on
the commandline. Also use [<variable>] to indicate the variable argument
and that it is optional so that we can differentiate from the literal
"auto" that should be passed.

Sometimes if you're using tools that have linked things improperly or have
new features/sections that older tools don't expect you'll see warnings
printed to stderr. We don't really care about these warnings, so let's
just silence these messages to cleanup output of this script.

Now that stacktraces contain the build ID information we can update this
script to use debuginfod-find to locate the debuginfo for the vmlinux and
modules automatically. This can replace the existing code that requires
specifying a path to vmlinux or tries to find the vmlinux and modules
automatically by using the release number. Work it into the script as a
fallback option if the vmlinux isn't specified on the commandline.

- Rework inline asm to get rid of error prone "register asm"
constructs, which are problematic especially when code
instrumentation is enabled.
In particular introduce and use register pair union to allocate
even/odd register pairs. Unfortunately this breaks compatibility with
older clang compilers and minimum clang version for s390 has been
raised to 13.

the code.
- Add zstd kernel image compression support.
- Rework boot CPU lowcore handling.
- De-duplicate and move kernel memory layout setup logic earlier.
- Few fixes in preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time
and run-time field bounds checking for mem functions.
- Remove broken and unused power management support leftovers in s390
drivers.
- Disable stack-protector for decompressor and purgatory to fix
buildroot build.
- Fix vt220 sclp console name to match the char device name.
- Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT and add zpci_set_irq()/zpci_clear_irq() in
zPCI code.
- Remove some implausible WARN_ON_ONCEs and remove arch specific
counter transaction call backs in favour of default transaction
handling in perf code.
- Extend/add new uevents for online/config/mode state changes of AP
card / queue device in zcrypt.
- Minor entry and ccwgroup code improvements.

checkpatch complains about positive return values of poll functions.
Example:
WARNING: return of an errno should typically be negative (ie: return -EPOLLIN)
+ return EPOLLIN;
Poll functions return positive values. The defines for the return values
of poll functions all start with EPOLL, resulting in a number of false
positives. An often used workaround is to assign poll function return
values to variables and returning that variable, but that is a less than
perfect solution.
There is no error definition which starts with EPOLL, so it is safe to
omit the warning for return values starting with EPOLL.

checkpatch identifies a label only when a terminating colon
immediately follows an identifier.
Bitfield definitions can appear to be labels so ignore any
spaces between the identifier terminating colon and any digit
that may be used to define a bitfield length.
Miscellanea:
o Improve the initial checkpatch comment
o Use the more typical '&&' instead of 'and'
o Require the initial label character to be a non-digit
(Can't use $Ident here because $Ident allows ## concatenation)
o Use $sline instead of $line to ignore comments
o Use '$sline !~ /.../' instead of '!($line =~ /.../)'

Since commit d0259c42abff ("spdxcheck.py: Use Python 3"), spdxcheck.py
explicitly expects to run as python3 script. If "python" still points to
python v2.7 and the script is executed with "python scripts/spdxcheck.py",
the following error may be seen even if git-python is installed for
python3.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 10, in <module>

ImportError: No module named git
To fix the problem, check for the existence of python3, check if
the script is executable and not just for its existence, and execute
it directly.

Commit "mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to local_lock" will
introduce a zero-sized per-CPU variable, which causes pahole to generate
invalid BTF. Only pahole versions 1.18 through 1.21 are impacted, as
before 1.18 pahole doesn't know anything about per-CPU variables, and 1.22
contains the proper fix for the issue.
Luckily, pahole 1.18 got --skip_encoding_btf_vars option disabling BTF
generation for per-CPU variables in anticipation of some unanticipated
problems. So use this escape hatch to disable per-CPU var BTF info on
those problematic pahole versions. Users relying on availability of
per-CPU var BTFs would need to upgrade to pahole 1.22+, but everyone won't
notice any regressions.

The tab stop for Perl files is by default (at least in emacs) to be 4
spaces, where a tab is used for all 8 spaces. Add a local variable
comment to make vim do the same by default, and this will help keep the
file consistent in the future when others edit it via vim and not emacs.

Patch series "streamline_config.pl: Fix Perl spacing".
Talking with John Hawley about how vim and emacs deal with Perl files with
respect to tabs and spaces, I found that some of my Perl code in the
kernel had inconsistent spacing. The way emacs handles Perl by default is
to use 4 spaces per indent, but make all 8 spaces into a single tab. Vim
does not do this by default. But if you add the vim variable control:
# vim: softtabstop=4
to a perl file, it makes vim behave the same way as emacs.
The first patch is to change all 8 spaces into a single tab (mostly from
people editing the file with vim). The next patch adds the softtabstop
variable to make vim act like emacs by default.
This patch (of 2):
As Perl code tends to have 4 space indentation, but uses tabs for every 8
spaces, make that consistent in the streamline_config.pl code. Replace
all 8 spaces with a single tab.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.
It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
rather that take them via the -mm tree.
Summary:
- Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.
- Fix output format from SVE selftest.
- Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling
convention.
- Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
kernel and userspace.
- PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
attributes via sysfs.

clang versions prior to the current development version of 13.0.0 cannot
compile s390 after commit 3abbdfde5a65 ("s390/bitops: use register pair
instead of register asm") and the s390 maintainers do not intend to work
around this in the kernel. Codify this in scripts/min-tool-version.sh
similar to arm64 with GCC 5.1.0 so that there are no reports of broken
builds.
[hca@linux.ibm.com: breaking compatibility with older clang compilers
is intended to finally make use of a feature which allows the
compiler to allocate even/odd register pairs. This is possible since
a very long time with gcc, but only since llvm-project commit
d058262b1471 ("[SystemZ] Support i128 inline asm operands.") with
clang. Using that feature allows to get rid of error prone register
asm statements, of which the above named kernel commit is only the
first of a larger not yet complete series.]

To avoid unnecessary recompilations, mkcompile_h does not regenerate
compile.h if just the timestamp changed.
Though, if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is set, an explicit timestamp for the
build was requested, in which case we should not ignore it.
If a user follows the documentation for reproducible builds [1] and
defines KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP as the git commit timestamp, a clean
build will have the correct timestamp. A subsequent cherry-pick (or
amend) changes the commit timestamp and if an incremental build is done
with a different KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP now, that new value is not taken
into consideration. But it should for reproducibility.
Hence, whenever KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is explicitly set, do not ignore
UTS_VERSION when making a decision about whether the regenerated version
of compile.h should be moved into place.

One common cause of modpost version generation failures is a failure to
prototype exported assembly functions - the tooling requires this for
exported functions even if they are not and should not be called from C
code in order to do the version mangling for symbols. Unfortunately the
error message is currently rather abstruse, simply saying that "version
generation failed" and even diving into the code doesn't directly show
what's going on since there's several steps between the problem and it
being observed.
Provide an explicit hint as to the likely cause of a version generation
failure to help anyone who runs into this in future more readily diagnose

when loading a kernel built with CONFIG_RELR into GDB. It can also
prevent debugging symbols using such relocations.
Peter sugguests:
[That flag] means that lld will use dynamic tags and section type
numbers in the OS-specific range rather than the generic range. The
kernel itself doesn't care about these numbers; it determines the
location of the RELR section using symbols defined by a linker script.

However, even when --no-virtualenv, the current logic is

$ export ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-"
$ make M=drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/
but pahole fails to extract the BTF info from DWARF, breaking the build:

...
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:156: __modpost] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1866: modules] Error 2
this fails because OBJCOPY is set to "ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-copy" and
later pahole is executed with the following command line:
LLVM_OBJCOPY=$(OBJCOPY) $(PAHOLE) -J --btf_base vmlinux $@
which gets expanded to:

By using outlined checks we can achieve a significant code size
improvement by moving the tag-based ASAN checks into separate
functions. Unlike the existing CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE mode these
functions have a custom calling convention that preserves most
registers and is specialized to the register containing the address
and the type of access, and as a result we can eliminate the code
size and performance overhead of a standard calling convention such
as AAPCS for these functions.
This change depends on a separate series of changes to Clang [1] to
support outlined checks in the kernel, although the change works fine
without them (we just don't get outlined checks). This is because the
flag -mllvm -hwasan-inline-all-checks=0 has no effect until the Clang
changes land. The flag was introduced in the Clang 9.0 timeframe as
part of the support for outlined checks in userspace and because our
minimum Clang version is 10.0 we can pass it unconditionally.
Outlined checks require a new runtime function with a custom calling
convention. Add this function to arch/arm64/lib.
I measured the code size of defconfig + tag-based KASAN, as well
as boot time (i.e. time to init launch) on a DragonBoard 845c with
an Android arm64 GKI kernel. The results are below:
code size boot time
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y before 92824064 6.18s
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y after 38822400 6.65s
CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE=y 39215616 11.48s
We can see straight away that specialized outlined checks beat the
existing CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE=y on both code size and boot time
for tag-based ASAN.
As for the comparison between CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y before and after
we saw similar performance numbers in userspace [2] and decided
that since the performance overhead is minimal compared to the
overhead of tag-based ASAN itself as well as compared to the code
size improvements we would just replace the inlined checks with the
specialized outlined checks without the option to select between them,
and that is what I have implemented in this patch.

There were efforts to make 'make -s' really silent when it is a
warning-free build.
The conventional way was to let a shell script check ${quiet}, and if
it is 'silent_', suppress the stdout by itself.
With the previous commit, the 'cmd' takes care of it now. The 'cmd' is
also invoked from if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule.
You can omit ${quiet} checks in shell scripts when they are invoked
from the 'cmd' macro.

When building with 'make -s', no output to stdout should be printed.
As Arnd Bergmann reported [1], mkimage shows the detailed information
of the generated images.
I think this should be suppressed by the 'cmd' macro instead of by
individual scripts.
Insert 'exec >/dev/null;' in order to redirect stdout to /dev/null for
silent builds.
[Note about this implementation]
'exec >/dev/null;' may look somewhat tricky, but this has a reason.
Appending '>/dev/null' at the end of command line is a common way for
redirection, so I first tried this:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)) >/dev/null
... but it would not work if $(cmd_$(1)) itself contains a redirection.
For example, cmd_wrap in scripts/Makefile.asm-generic redirects the
output from the 'echo' command into the target file.
It would be expanded into:
echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@ >/dev/null
Then, the target file gets empty because the string will go to /dev/null
instead of $@.
Next, I tried this:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) { $(cmd_$(1)); } >/dev/null
The form above would be expanded into:
{ echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@; } >/dev/null
This works as expected. However, it would be a syntax error if
$(cmd_$(1)) is empty.
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled, $(call cmd,gen_ksymdeps) in
scripts/Makefile.build would be expanded into:
set -e; { ; } >/dev/null
..., which causes an syntax error.
I also tried this:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) ( $(cmd_$(1)) ) >/dev/null
... but this causes a syntax error for the same reason.
So, finally I adopted:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) exec >/dev/null; $(cmd_$(1))

Now that all architectures implement ARCH_ATOMIC, the fallbacks are
generated before the instrumented wrappers are generated. Due to this,
in atomic-instrumented.h we can assume that the whole set of atomic

need to provide a preprocessor definition for every atomic it wraps.

I do not see a good reason why only the libelf development package must
be so carefully checked.
Kbuild generally does not check host tools or libraries.
For example, x86_64 defconfig fails to build with no libssl development
package installed.
scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory
21 | #include <openssl/bio.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To solve the build error, you need to install libssl-dev or openssl-devel
package, depending on your distribution.
'apt-file search', 'dnf provides', etc. is your frined to find a proper
package to install.
This commit removes all the libelf checks from the top Makefile.
If libelf is missing, objtool will fail to build in a similar pattern:
.../linux/tools/objtool/include/objtool/elf.h:10:10: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory
10 | #include <gelf.h>
You need to install libelf-dev, libelf-devel, or elfutils-libelf-devel
to proceed.
Another remarkable change is, CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION (without
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC) previously continued to build with a warning,
but now it will treat missing libelf as an error.
This is just a one-time installation, so it should not hurt to break
a build and make a user install the package.
BTW, the traditional way to handle such checks is autotool, but according
to [1], I do not expect the kernel build would have similar scripting
like './configure' does.

"OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_vma.o := n" has a dependency bug. When
objtool source is updated, the affected object doesn't get re-analyzed
by objtool.
Peter's new variable-sized jump label feature relies on objtool
rewriting the object file. Otherwise the system can fail to boot. That
effectively upgrades this minor dependency issue to a major bug.
The problem is that variables in prerequisites are expanded early,
during the read-in phase. The '$(objtool_dep)' variable indirectly uses
'$@', which isn't yet available when the target prerequisites are
evaluated.
Use '.SECONDEXPANSION:' which causes '$(objtool_dep)' to be expanded in
a later phase, after the target-specific '$@' variable has been defined.

When LANG is not set to English, the logic which checks the
number of CPUs fail, as the messages can be localized, and
the logic at:
THREADS_PER_CORE=$(lscpu | grep "Thread(s) per core: " | tr -cd "[:digit:]")
will not get the number of threads per core.
This causes the script to not run properly, as it will produce
a warning:
$ make coccicheck COCCI=$PWD/scripts/coccinelle/misc/add_namespace.cocci MODE=report drivers/media/
./scripts/coccicheck: linha 93: [: número excessivo de argumentos
Fix it by forcing LANG=C when calling lscpu.

There are some regex expressions in the kernel-doc script, which are used
repeatedly in the script.
Reduce such expressions into variables, which can be used everywhere.
A quick manual check found that no errors and warnings were added/removed
in this process.

Commit 3fb0fdb3bbe7 ("x86/stackprotector/32: Make the canary into a regular
percpu variable") modified the stackprotector check on 32-bit x86 to check
if gcc supports using %fs as canary. Adjust dummy-tools gcc script to pass
this new test by returning "%fs" rather than "%gs" if it detects
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=fs on command line.
