145082ebfc Documentation/llvm: turn make command for ccache into code block
The command provided to use ccache with clang is not a literal code
block. Once built, the documentation displays the '' symbols as a "
character, which is wrong, and the command can not be applied as
provided.

Turn the command into a literal code block.

fde192511b kconfig: remove tristate choice support
I previously submitted a fix for a bug in the choice feature [1], where
I mentioned, "Another (much cleaner) approach would be to remove the
tristate choice support entirely".

There are more issues in the tristate choice feature. For example, you
can observe a couple of bugs in the following test code.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    choice
            prompt "tristate choice"
            default A

    config A
            tristate "A"

    config B
            tristate "B"

    endchoice

Bug 1: the 'default' property is not correctly processed

'make alldefconfig' produces:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    # CONFIG_A is not set
    # CONFIG_B is not set

However, the correct output should be:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_A=y
    # CONFIG_B is not set

The unit test file, scripts/kconfig/tests/choice/alldef_expected_config,
is wrong as well.

Bug 2: choice members never get 'y' with randconfig

For the test code above, the following combinations are possible:

               A    B
        (1)    y    n
        (2)    n    y
        (3)    m    m
        (4)    m    n
        (5)    n    m
        (6)    n    n

'make randconfig' never produces (1) or (2).

These bugs are fixable, but a more critical problem is the lack of a
sensible syntax to specify the default for the tristate choice.
The default for the choice must be one of the choice members, which
cannot specify any of the patterns (3) through (6) above.

In addition, I have never seen it being used in a useful way.

The following commits removed unnecessary use of tristate choices:

 - df8df5e4bc ("usb: get rid of 'choice' for legacy gadget drivers")
 - bfb57ef054 ("rapidio: remove choice for enumeration")

This commit removes the tristate choice support entirely, which allows
me to delete a lot of code, making further refactoring easier.

Note:
This includes the revert of commit fa64e5f6a3 ("kconfig/symbol.c:
handle choice_values that depend on 'm' symbols"). It was suspicious
because it did not address the root cause but introduced inconsistency
in visibility between choice members and other symbols.

45c7f555bf kconfig: doc: document behavior of 'select' and 'imply' followed by 'if'
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst explains the behavior of
'select' as follows:

  reverse dependencies can be used to force a lower limit of
  another symbol. The value of the current menu symbol is used as the
  minimal value <symbol> can be set to.

This is not true when the 'select' property is followed by 'if'.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate y
            select C if B

    config B
            def_tristate m

    config C
            tristate

[Result]

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_A=y
    CONFIG_B=m
    CONFIG_C=m

If "the value of A is used as the minimal value C can be set to",
C must be 'y'.

The actual behavior is "C is selected by (A && B)". The lower limit of
C is downgraded due to B being 'm'.

This behavior is kind of weird, and this has arisen several times in
the mailing list.

I do not know whether it is a bug or intended behavior. Anyway, it is
not feasible to change it now because many Kconfig files are written
based on this behavior. The same applies to 'imply'.

Document this (but reserve the possibility for a future change).

b1992c3772 kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
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).

6a1215888e kconfig: remove 'optional' property support
The 'choice' statement is primarily used to exclusively select one
option, but the 'optional' property allows all entries to be disabled.

In the following example, both A and B can be disabled simultaneously:

    choice
            prompt "choose A, B, or nothing"
            optional

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

You can achieve the equivalent outcome by other means.

A common solution is to add another option to guard the choice block.
In the following example, you can set ENABLE_A_B_CHOICE=n to disable
the entire choice block:

    choice
            prompt "choose A or B"
            depends on ENABLE_A_B_CHOICE

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

Another approach is to insert one more entry:

    choice
            prompt "choose A, B, or disable both"

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    config DISABLE_A_AND_B
            bool "choose this to disable both A and B"

    endchoice

Some real examples are DEBUG_INFO_NONE, INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE,
LTO_NONE, etc.

The 'optional' property is even more unnecessary for a tristate choice.

Without the 'optional' property, you can disable A and B; you can set
'm' in the choice prompt, and disable A and B individually:

    choice
            prompt "choose one built-in or make them modular"

    config A
            tristate "A"

    config B
            tristate "B"

    endchoice

In conclusion, the 'optional' property was unneeded.

that has SystemZ support implemented in ld.lld and llvm-objcopy.

Update the supported architectures table in the Kbuild LLVM

f6314b76d8 docs: kbuild/kconfig: reformat/cleanup
This document was using headings in an odd way, causing the sidebar to be
quite messy. I've adding new headings and turned some of the old headings
into description lists.

The indentation was a mix of spaces and tabs; I've turned them all into
4 spaces so it always reads correctly regardless of tab settings.

Also use ``...`` instead of `...`; the difference is that `` is meant
for "inline literals" (and renders in a monospace font) while ` is for
"interpreted text" (and renders with italics).

Also changed the title of the document to be more descriptive.

7cd343008b kconfig: add warn-unknown-symbols sanity check
Introduce KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS environment variable,
which makes Kconfig warn about unknown config symbols.

This is especially useful for continuous kernel uprevs when
some symbols can be either removed or renamed between kernel
releases (which can go unnoticed otherwise).

By default KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS generates warnings,
which are non-terminal. There is an additional environment
variable KCONFIG_WERROR that overrides this behaviour and
turns warnings into errors.

a3c6bfba44 Documentation/llvm: refresh docs
Recent fixes for an embargoed hardware security vulnerability failed to
link with ld.lld (LLVM's linker).  [0]  To be fair, our documentation
mentions ``CC=clang`` foremost with ``LLVM=1`` being buried "below the
fold."

We want to encourage the use of ``LLVM=1`` rather than just
``CC=clang``. Make that suggestion "above the fold" and "front and
center" in our docs.

While here, the following additional changes were made:
- remove the bit about CROSS_COMPILE setting --target=, that's no longer
  true.
- Add ARCH=loongarch to the list of maintained targets (though we're
  still working on getting defconfig building cleanly at the moment;
  we're pretty close).
- Bump ARCH=powerpc from CC=clang to LLVM=1 status.
- Promote ARCH=riscv from being Maintained to being Supported. Android
  is working towards supporting RISC-V, and we have excellent support
  from multiple companies in this regard.
- Note that the toolchain distribution on kernel.org has been built with
  profile data from kernel builds.
- Note how to use ccache with clang.

56b0f453db kernel-doc: don't let V=1 change outcome
The kernel-doc script currently reports a number of issues
only in "verbose" mode, but that's initialized from V=1
(via KBUILD_VERBOSE), so if you use KDOC_WERROR=1 then
adding V=1 might actually break the build. This is rather
unexpected.

Change kernel-doc to not change its behaviour wrt. errors
(or warnings) when verbose mode is enabled, but rather add
separate warning flags (and -Wall) for it. Allow enabling
those flags via environment/make variables in the kernel's
build system for easier user use, but to not have to parse
them in the script itself.

Google transitioned its data center fleet to run Clang built kernels in
2021, and Meta did so as well in 2022.  Meta talked about this at LPC
2022 at a talk titled Kernel Live Patching at Scale.

These were important milestones for building the kernel with Clang.

40bf2fcd85 scripts/tags.sh: choose which directories to exclude from being indexed
It's common for drivers that share same physical components to also
duplicate source code (or at least portions of it). A good example is
both drivers/gpu/drm/amdgpu/* and drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/* have a header
file called atombios.h.

While their contents aren't the same, a lot of their structs have
the exact same names which makes navigating through the code base a bit
messy as cscope will show up 'references' across drivers which aren't
exactly correct.

Add IGNORE_DIRS variable, which specifies which directories
to be ignored from indexing.

Example:
        make ARCH=x86 IGNORE_DIRS="drivers/gpu/drm/radeon tools" cscope

8afc66e8d4 Kbuild updates for v6.1
- Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
    SIGINT etc. in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
    to another program.
 
  - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.
 
  - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.
 
  - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.
 
  - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in kallsyms.
 
  - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
    potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
    back-and-forth.
 
  - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.
 
  - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing particular
    sections in the head of vmlinux.
 
  - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.
 
  - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

Merge tag 'kbuild-v6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

8aebac8293 Rust introduction for v6.1-rc1
The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
 
 - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
 
 - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
 
 - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
 
 - Rust kernel documentation and samples
 
 Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
 short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have contributed
 both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to
 support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people, and many more,

ce697ccee1 kbuild: remove head-y syntax
Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.

A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.

I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.

I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

3216484550 kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

d07479b211 docs: add Rust documentation
Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.

However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.

It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

In that distro, that header file is available in the separate
libmpc-devel package.

Although future versions of Fedora might correctly mark
that dependency, mention this additional package.

To help detect such problems ahead of time, describe the

command that is used by scripts/gcc-plugins/Kconfig to detect
plugins [1].

a0a12c3ed0 asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO
GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.

Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.

The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.

Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.
