Commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS")
make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS.
When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y,
make menuconfig screams like this:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PROC_CHILDREN
Depends on [n]: PROC_FS [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- CHECKPOINT_RESTORE [=y]
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE would select PROC_CHILDREN which depends on PROC_FS,
so add depends on PROC_FS to CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to fix this.

Distro kernels tend to be moving to VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, and there
is not much reason why PPC64 should be special here. Remove the special
case and make the ppc64 and pseries defconfigs use GEN accounting
(others will use TICK, as-per Kconfig defaults).
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE does provide scaled vtime and stolen time
apportioned between system and user time, and vtime accounting is not
unconditionally enabled, and possibly other things. But it would be
better at this point to extend GEN to cover important missing features
rather than directing users back to a less used option.

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.

For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes
effort. This is becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code
split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect
to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future.
The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and
Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted
a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this
misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should
be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually
hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up
spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect
misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are
dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info
regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored)
this really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page()
and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the
virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module
decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which has
been there for 3 weeks.

Merge tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
preemption. This is only used on module decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
has been there for 3 weeks"

This pull request contains the following branches:
doc.2022.06.21a: Documentation updates.
fixes.2022.07.19a: Miscellaneous fixes.
nocb.2022.07.19a: Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to
be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS
and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel
boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering
with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms.
poll.2022.07.21a: Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably
making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace
periods.
rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing
the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than
a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction
is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems
reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might
see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead.
torture.2022.06.21a: Torture-test updates.
ctxt.2022.07.05a: Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into
context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to
kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution
for kernels that track context independently of RCU. This is

CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

The difference in most compilers between `-O3` and `-O2` is mostly down
to whether loops with statically determinable trip counts are fully
unrolled vs unrolled to a multiple of SIMD width.
This patch is effectively a revert of
commit 15f5db60a1 ("kbuild,arc: add
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC") without re-adding
ARCH_CFLAGS
Ever since
commit cfdbc2e16e ("ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker
script")
ARC has been built with -O3, though the reason for doing so was not
specified in inline comments or the commit message. This commit does not
re-add -O3 to arch/arc/Makefile.
Folks looking to experiment with `-O3` (or any compiler flag for that
matter) may pass them along to the command line invocation of make:
$ make KCFLAGS=-O3
Code that looks to re-add an explicit Kconfig option for `-O3` should
provide:
1. A rigorous and reproducible performance profile of a reasonable
userspace workload that demonstrates a hot loop in the kernel that
would benefit from `-O3` over `-O2`.
2. Disassembly of said loop body before and after.
3. Provides stats on terms of increase in file size.

3942a9bd7b ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.
This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.
Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

Since the Linux RNG no longer uses sha1_transform(), the SHA-1 library
is no longer needed unconditionally. Make it possible to build the
Linux kernel without the SHA-1 library by putting it behind a kconfig
option, and selecting this new option from the kconfig options that gate
the remaining users: CRYPTO_SHA1 for crypto/sha1_generic.c, BPF for
kernel/bpf/core.c, and IPV6 for net/ipv6/addrconf.c.
Unfortunately, since BPF is selected by NET, for now this can only make
a difference for kernels built without networking support.

In init/Kconfig, the part dedicated to modules is quite large.
Move it into a dedicated Kconfig in kernel/module/
MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP was outside of the 'if MODULES', but as it is
only used when MODULES are set, move it in with everything else to
avoid confusion.
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is left in init/Kconfig because this configuration
item is not used in kernel/modules/ but in kernel/ and can be

In commit 8b202ee218 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people
disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic
in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro,
which accesses absolute pointers.
It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes
that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config
entry instead.
Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and
use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations
that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example:
select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS
and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues.
Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more
targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again
the s390 case as an example:
KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds)
but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since
the current issues are spread fairly widely all over:
KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds
We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough
that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this
warning.

As promised, for v5.19 I queued up quite a bit of work for modules, but
still with a pretty conservative eye. These changes have been soaking on
modules-next (and so linux-next) for quite some time, the code shift was
merged onto modules-next on March 22, and the last patch was queued on May
5th.
The following are the highlights of what bells and whistles we will get for
v5.19:
1) It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any
functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split
is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while
bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping
make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review
for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now
pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.
The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:
$ size kernel/module.o
text data bss dec hex filename
38434 4540 104 43078 a846 kernel/module.o
$ size -t kernel/module/*.o
text data bss dec hex filename
4785 120 0 4905 1329 kernel/module/kallsyms.o
28577 4416 104 33097 8149 kernel/module/main.o
1158 8 0 1166 48e kernel/module/procfs.o
902 108 0 1010 3f2 kernel/module/strict_rwx.o
3390 0 0 3390 d3e kernel/module/sysfs.o
832 0 0 832 340 kernel/module/tree_lookup.o
39644 4652 104 44400 ad70 (TOTALS)
2) Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
so to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.
3) Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
architecture might want this:
a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect
against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by
different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By
default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in
a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as
NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not.
b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.
c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some
security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting
module data with text let's future generic special allocators
be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok
the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's
permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over
time.

- A series to add a generic ticket spinlock that can be shared by most
architectures with a working cmpxchg or ll/sc type atomic, including
the conversion of riscv, csky and openrisc. This series is also a

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.
Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.
It is time to get rid of this complexity.
Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.
Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.
No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.
Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.

We used to have USERFAULTFD configs stored in init/. It makes sense as a
start because that's the default place for storing syscall related
configs.
However userfaultfd evolved a bit in the past few years and some more
config options were added. They're no longer related to syscalls and
start to be not suitable to be kept in the init/ directory anymore,
because they're pure mm concepts.
But it's not ideal either to keep the userfaultfd configs separate from
each other. Hence this patch moves the userfaultfd configs under init/ to
be under mm/ so that we'll start to group all userfaultfd configs
together.
We do have quite a few examples of syscall related configs that are not
put under init/Kconfig: FTRACE_SYSCALLS, SWAP, FILE_LOCKING,
MEMFD_CREATE.. They all reside in the dir where they're more suitable for
the concept. So it seems there's no restriction to keep the role of
having syscall related CONFIG_* under init/ only.

Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is
recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded.
The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of
each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to
displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the
event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or
taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained.
The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by
default.

initramfs cpio mtime preservation, as implemented in commit 889d51a107
("initramfs: add option to preserve mtime from initramfs cpio images"),
uses a linked list to defer directory mtime processing until after all
other items in the cpio archive have been processed. This is done to
ensure that parent directory mtimes aren't overwritten via subsequent
child creation.
The lkml link below indicates that the mtime retention use case was for
embedded devices with applications running exclusively out of initramfs,
where the 32-bit mtime value provided a rough file version identifier.
Linux distributions which discard an extracted initramfs immediately after
the root filesystem has been mounted may want to avoid the unnecessary
overhead.
This change adds a new INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME Kconfig option, which can
be used to disable on-by-default mtime retention and in turn speed up
initramfs extraction, particularly for cpio archives with large directory
counts.
Benchmarks with a one million directory cpio archive extracted 20 times
demonstrated:
mean extraction time (s) std dev
INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME=y 3.808 0.006
INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME unset 3.056 0.004
The above extraction times were measured using ftrace (initcall_finish -
initcall_start) values for populate_rootfs() with initramfs_async
disabled.

This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in
the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good
for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default
bootconfigs.
This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set
the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE.
Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the
embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different
bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead
of the default bootconfig.

Add a config option to guard (future) usage of asm_volatile_goto() that
includes "tied outputs", i.e. "+" constraints that specify both an input
and output parameter. clang-13 has a bug[1] that causes compilation of
such inline asm to fail, and KVM wants to use a "+m" constraint to
implement a uaccess form of CMPXCHG[2]. E.g. the test code fails with
<stdin>:1:29: error: invalid operand in inline asm: '.long (${1:l}) - .'
int foo(int *x) { asm goto (".long (%l[bar]) - .\n": "+m"(*x) ::: bar); return *x; bar: return 0; }
^
<stdin>:1:29: error: unknown token in expression
<inline asm>:1:9: note: instantiated into assembly here
.long () - .

2 errors generated.
on clang-13, but passes on gcc (with appropriate asm goto support). The
bug is fixed in clang-14, but won't be backported to clang-13 as the
changes are too invasive/risky.
gcc also had a similar bug[3], fixed in gcc-11, where gcc failed to
account for its behavior of assigning two numbers to tied outputs (one
for input, one for output) when evaluating symbolic references.

Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays.
Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once.
Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle. Use
stackdepot to save stack trace.
The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate
per-cache statistics in the following patch using the stackdepot handle
instead of matching stacks manually.
[ vbabka@suse.cz: rebase to 5.17-rc1 and adjust accordingly ]
This was initially merged as commit 788691464c and reverted by commit
ae14c63a9f due to several issues, that should now be fixed.
The problem of unconditional memory overhead by stackdepot has been
addressed by commit 2dba5eb1c7 ("lib/stackdepot: allow optional init
and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()"), so the dependency on
stackdepot will result in extra memory usage only when a slab cache
tracking is actually enabled, and not for all CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG builds.
The build failures on some architectures were also addressed, and the
reported issue with xfs/433 test did not reproduce on 5.17-rc1 with this
patch.

* 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc:
remove the h8300 architecture
This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at
the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that
does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB
of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just
for .text/.data.
Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013
after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought
it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history
since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree
are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups:

Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout
the stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower
iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from
getting split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop
the user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called
from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling
of TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Allow additional arguments be passed to userprogs compilation.
Reproducible clang builds need to provide a sysroot and gcc path to
ensure the same toolchain is used across hosts. KCFLAGS is not currently
used for any user programs compilation, so add new USERCFLAGS and
USERLDFLAGS which serves similar purpose as HOSTCFLAGS/HOSTLDFLAGS.
Clang might detect GCC installation on hosts which have it installed
to a default location in /. With addition of these environment
variables, you can specify flags such as:
$ make USERCFLAGS=--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot
This can also be used to specify different sysroots such as musl or
bionic which may be installed on the host in paths that the compiler
may not search by default.

The CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES option is enabled by CONFIG_FUTEX and CONFIG_I2C.
If both are disabled then a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT build fails to compile.
It is not possible to have a PREEMPT_RT kernel without RT_MUTEX support
because RT_MUTEX based locking is always used.
Enable CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES by default on PREEMPT_RT builds.

There are a few different places where pahole's version is turned into a
three digit form with the exact same command. Move this command into
scripts/pahole-version.sh to reduce the amount of duplication across the

Create CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION so the version code can be used in Kconfig

which is already done in a couple of places.
