docs: netdev: document guidance on cleanup.h
Document what was discussed multiple times on list and various virtual / in-person conversations. guard() being okay in functions <= 20 LoC is a bit of my own invention. If the function is trivial it should be fine, but feel free to disagree :) We'll obviously revisit this guidance as time passes and we and other subsystems get more experience.

Documentation: embargoed-hardware-issues.rst: add a section documenting the "early access" process
Over the past years there have been many "misunderstandings" and "confusion" as to who is, and is not, allowed early access to the changes created by the members of the embargoed hardware issue teams working on a specific problem. The current process, while it does work, is "difficult" for many companies to understand and agree with. Because of this, there has been numerous attempts by many companies to work around the process by lies, subterfuge, and other side channels sometimes involving unsuspecting lawyers. Cut all of that out, and put the responsibility of distributing code on the silicon vendor affected, as they already have legal agreements in place that cover this type of distribution. When this distribution happens, the developers involved MUST be notified of this happening, to be kept aware of the situation at all times. The wording here has been hashed out by many different companies and lawyers involved in the process, as well as community members and everyone now agrees that the proposed change here should work better than what is currently happening. This change has been approved by a review from a large number of different open source legal members, representing the companies involved in this process.

Documentation: embargoed-hardware-issues.rst: minor cleanups and fixes
The embargoed-hardware-issues.rst file needed a bunch of minor grammar, punctuation, and syntax cleanups based on feedback we have gotten over the past few years. The main change here is the term "silicon" being used over "hardware" to differentiate between companies that make a chip (i.e. a CPU) and those that take the chip and put it into their system. No process changes are made here at all, only clarification for the way the current process works. All of these changes have been approved by a review from a large number of different open source legal members, representing the companies involved in this process.

Rust changes for v6.11
The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'. 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 will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust compiler versions should generally work. In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three flagship goals for 2024H2 [1]. I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel. [1] https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2024h2/index.html#flagship-goals Toolchain and infrastructure: - Support several Rust toolchain versions. - Support several bindgen versions. - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to 'alloc' having been dropped last cycle. - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.

Nothing hugely exciting happening in the documentation tree this time
around, mostly more of the usual:
- More Spanish, Italian, and Chinese translations
- A new script, scripts/checktransupdate.py, can be used to see which
commits have touched an (English) document since a given translation was
last updated.
- A couple of "best practices" suggestions (on Link: tags and off-list
discussions) that were not entirely at consensus level, but I concluded
they were close enough to accept.
- Some nice cleanups removing documentation for kernel parameters that have
not been recognized for ... a long time.
...along with the usual updates, typo fixes, and such.

kbuild: raise the minimum GNU Make requirement to 4.0
RHEL/CentOS 7, popular distributions that install GNU Make 3.82, reached EOM/EOL on June 30, 2024. While you may get extended support, it is a good time to raise the minimum GNU Make version. The new requirement, GNU Make 4.0, was released in October, 2013. I did not touch the Makefiles under tools/ because I do not know the requirements for building tools. I do not find any GNU Make version checks under tools/. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> |

docs: rust: quick-start: add section on Linux distributions
Now that we are starting to support several Rust compiler and `bindgen` versions, there is a good chance some Linux distributions work out of the box. Thus, provide some instructions on how to set the toolchain up for a few major Linux distributions. This simplifies the setup users need to build the kernel. In addition, add an introduction to the document so that it is easier to understand its structure and move the LLVM+Rust kernel.org toolchains paragraph there (removing "depending on the Linux version"). We may want to reorganize the document or split it in the future, but I wanted to focus this commit on the new information added about each particular distribution. Finally, remove the `rustup`'s components mention in `changes.rst` since users do not need it if they install the toolchain via the distributions (and anyway it was too detailed for that main document).

rust: start supporting several compiler versions
It is time to start supporting several Rust compiler versions and thus establish a minimum Rust version. We may still want to upgrade the minimum sometimes in the beginning since there may be important features coming into the language that improve how we write code (e.g. field projections), which may or may not make sense to support conditionally. We will start with a window of two stable releases, and widen it over time. Thus this patch does not move the current minimum (1.78.0), but instead adds support for the recently released 1.79.0. 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 Tumbleweed. See the documentation patch about it later in this series. In addition, Rust for Linux is now being built-tested in Rust's pre-merge CI [1]. 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 -- thanks to the Rust project for that! 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 will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust compiler versions should generally work. For instance, currently, the beta (1.80.0) and nightly (1.81.0) branches work as well. Of course, the Rust for Linux CI job in the Rust toolchain may still need to be temporarily disabled for different reasons, but the intention is to help bring Rust for Linux into stable Rust.

docs: stable-kernel-rules: create special tag to flag 'no backporting'
Document a new variant of the stable tag developers can use to make the stable team's tools ignore a change[1]. That way developers can use 'Fixes:' tags without fearing the changes might be backported in semi-automatic fashion. Such concerns are the reason why some developers deliberately omit the 'Fixes:' tag in changes[2] -- which somewhat undermines the reason for the existence of that tag and might be unwise in the long term[3].

arm64: boot: Support Flat Image Tree
Add a script which produces a Flat Image Tree (FIT), a single file containing the built kernel and associated devicetree files. Compression defaults to gzip which gives a good balance of size and performance. The files compress from about 86MB to 24MB using this approach. The FIT can be used by bootloaders which support it, such as U-Boot and Linuxboot. It permits automatic selection of the correct devicetree, matching the compatible string of the running board with the closest compatible string in the FIT. There is no need for filenames or other workarounds. Add a 'make image.fit' build target for arm64, as well. The FIT can be examined using 'dumpimage -l'. This uses the 'dtbs-list' file but processes only .dtb files, ignoring the overlay .dtbo files. This features requires pylibfdt (use 'pip install libfdt'). It also requires compression utilities for the algorithm being used. Supported compression options are the same as the Image.xxx files. Use FIT_COMPRESSION to select an algorithm other than gzip. While FIT supports a ramdisk / initrd, no attempt is made to support this here, since it must be built separately from the Linux build.

Quoting of the '"no regressions" rule' expression differs between occurrences, sometimes being presented as '"no regressions rule"'. Unify the quoting using the first form which seems semantically correct or is at least used dominantly, albeit marginally. One of the occurrences is obviously missing the 'rule' part -- add it.

Documentation/maintainer-tip: Clarify merge window policy
There are lots of maintainers "pings" during the merge window, even for trivial patches. Clarify that contributors should not expect progress on *any* non-urgent patches during the merge window. This applies to all contributions, not just large ones. Clarify the language around -rc1. Trees really are closed during the merge window.

- Rework some of the other top-level pages for better readability and, with
luck, fewer merge conflicts in the future.
- Submit-checklist improvements, hopefully the first of many.
- New Italian translations

Rust changes for v6.9
Another routine one in terms of features. We got two version upgrades
this time, but in terms of lines, 'alloc' changes are not very large.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Upgrade to Rust 1.76.0.
This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have
aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove two
more unstable features ('const_maybe_uninit_zeroed' and
'ptr_metadata') from the list, among other improvements.
- Mark 'rustc' (and others) invocations as recursive, which fixes a new
warning and prepares us for the future in case we eventually take
advantage of the Make jobserver.
'kernel' crate:
- Add the 'container_of!' macro.
- Stop using the unstable 'ptr_metadata' feature by employing the now
stable 'byte_sub' method to implement 'Arc::from_raw()'.
- Add the 'time' module with a 'msecs_to_jiffies()' conversion function
to begin with, to be used by Rust Binder.
- Add 'notify_sync()' and 'wait_interruptible_timeout()' methods to
'CondVar', to be used by Rust Binder.
- Update integer types for 'CondVar'.
- Rename 'wait_list' field to 'wait_queue_head' in 'CondVar'.
- Implement 'Display' and 'Debug' for 'BStr'.
- Add the 'try_from_foreign()' method to the 'ForeignOwnable' trait.
- Add reexports for macros so that they can be used from the right
module (in addition to the root).
- A series of code documentation improvements, including adding
intra-doc links, consistency improvements, typo fixes...
'macros' crate:
- Place generated 'init_module()' function in '.init.text'.
Documentation:
- Add documentation on Rust doctests and how they work.

docs: submit-checklist: structure by category
While going through the submit checklist, the list order seemed rather random, probably just by historical coincidences of always adding yet the next point someone thought of at the end of the list. Structure and order them by the category of such activity, reviewing, documenting, checking with tools, building and testing. As the diff of the reordering is large: Review code now includes previous points 1, 5 and 22. Review Kconfig includes previous 6, 7 and 8. Documenting includes previous 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 23. Checking with tools includes previous 5, 9 and 10. Building includes previous 2, 3, 20 and 24. Testing includes previous 12, 13, 14, 19 and 21. Previous point 4 (compile for ppc64) was merged into point 3 (build for many architectures), as it was just a further note to cross-compiling. Previous point 5 was split into one in review and one in checking to have every previous point in the right category. Point 11 was shortened, as building documentation is mentioned already in Build your code, 1d. A note that was presented visually much too aggressive in the HTML view was turned into a simple "Note that..." sentence in the enumeration. The recommendation to test with the -mm patchset (previous 21, now testing, point 5) was updated to the current state of affairs to test with a recent tag of linux-next. Note that the previous first point still remains the first list even after reordering. Randy confirmed that it was important to Stephen Rothwell to keep 'include what you use' to be the first in the list. While at it, replace the reference to the obsolete CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.
