Stephen Rothwell reported a build error on ppc64 when
CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled.
Jessica Yu pointed out the cause of the error with the reference to the
ppc64 ELF ABI:
"Symbol names with a dot (.) prefix are reserved for holding entry
point addresses. The value of a symbol named ".FN", if it exists,
is the entry point of the function "FN".
As it turned out, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS has never worked for ppc64,
but this issue has been unnoticed until recently because this option
depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS hence is disabled by all{mod,yes}config.
(Then, it was uncovered by another patch removing UNUSED_SYMBOLS.)
Removing the dot prefix in scripts/gen_autoksyms.sh fixes the issue.
Please note it must be done before 'sort -u' because modules have
both ._mcount and _mcount undefined when CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y.

ARM randconfig builds with lld sometimes show a build failure
from kallsyms:
Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround
The problem is the veneers/thunks getting added by the linker extend
the symbol table, which in turn leads to more veneers being needed,
so it may take a few extra iterations to converge.
This bug has been fixed multiple times before, but comes back every time
a new symbol name is used. lld uses a different set of identifiers from
ld.bfd, so the additional ones need to be added as well.
I looked through the sources and found that arm64 and mips define similar
prefixes, so I'm adding those as well, aside from the ones I observed. I'm
not sure about powerpc64, which seems to already be handled through a
section match, but if it comes back, the "__long_branch_" and "__plt_"
prefixes would have to get added as well.

We will start building overlays for platforms soon in the kernel and
would need fdtoverlay going forward. Lets start building it.
The fdtoverlay program applies one or more overlay dtb blobs to a base
dtb blob. The kernel build system would later use fdtoverlay to generate
the overlaid blobs based on platform specific configurations.

The kernel build system as a whole is dropping support for Python 2, so we
should do the same. The effects are rather small, especially considering
that much of the deleted code was not doing anything under any version of
Python anyway.

Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the
'python' command any more.
As in commit 51839e29cb ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"),
we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they
are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing
users to 'PYTHON3'.
BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful
material.

Kernel-doc currently expects that the kernel-doc markup to come
just before the function/enum/struct/union/typedef prototype.
Yet, if it find things like:
/**
* refcount_add - add a value to a refcount
* @i: the value to add to the refcount
* @r: the refcount
*/
static inline void __refcount_add(int i, refcount_t *r, int *oldp);
static inline void refcount_add(int i, refcount_t *r);
Kernel-doc will do the wrong thing:
foobar.h:6: warning: Function parameter or member 'oldp' not described in '__refcount_add'
.. c:function:: void __refcount_add (int i, refcount_t *r, int *oldp)
add a value to a refcount
**Parameters**
``int i``
the value to add to the refcount
``refcount_t *r``
the refcount
``int *oldp``
*undescribed*
Basically, it will document "__refcount_add" with the kernel-doc
markup for refcount_add.
If both functions have the same arguments, this won't even
produce any warning!
Add a logic to check if the kernel-doc identifier matches the actual
name of the C function or data structure that will be documented.

The Surface Aggregator EC provides varying functionality, depending on
the Surface device. To manage this functionality, we use dedicated
client devices for each subsystem or virtual device of the EC. While
some of these clients are described as standard devices in ACPI and the
corresponding client drivers can be implemented as platform drivers in
the kernel (making use of the controller API already present), many
devices, especially on newer Surface models, cannot be found there.
To simplify management of these devices, we introduce a new bus and
client device type for the Surface Aggregator subsystem. The new device
type takes care of managing the controller reference, essentially
guaranteeing its validity for as long as the client device exists, thus
alleviating the need to manually establish device links for that purpose
in the client driver (as has to be done with the platform devices).

Changes the final fallback path in the ncurses locator for mconf
to support host compilers with a non-default sysroot.
This is similar to the hardcoded search for ncurses under
'/usr/include', but can support compilers that keep their default
header and library directories elsewhere.
For nconfig, do nothing because the only vendor compiler I'm aware
of with this layout (Apple Clang) ships an ncurses version that's too
old for nconfig anyway.

The command "make coccicheck C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" results in the
error:
./scripts/coccicheck: line 65: -1: shift count out of range
This happens because every time the C variable is specified,
the shell arguments need to be "shifted" in order to take only
the last argument, which is the C file to test. These shell arguments
mostly comprise flags that have been set in the Makefile. However,
when coccicheck is specified in the make command as a rule, the
number of shell arguments is zero, thus passing the invalid value -1
to the shift command, resulting in an error.
Modify coccicheck to print correct usage of make coccicheck so as to
avoid the error.

The C11 _Static_assert() keyword may be used at module scope, and we
need to teach genksyms about it to not abort with an error. We currently
have a growing number of static_assert() (but also direct usage of
_Static_assert()) users at module scope:
git grep -E '^_Static_assert\(|^static_assert\(' | grep -v '^tools' | wc -l
135
More recently, when enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS with CONFIG_KCSAN, we
observe a number of warnings:
WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "<..all kcsan symbols..>" [vmlinux] [...]
When running a preprocessed source through 'genksyms -w' a number of
syntax errors point at usage of static_assert()s. In the case of
kernel/kcsan/encoding.h, new static_assert()s had been introduced which
used expressions that appear to cause genksyms to not even be able to
recover from the syntax error gracefully (as it appears was the case
previously).
Therefore, make genksyms ignore all _Static_assert() and the contained
expression. With the fix, usage of _Static_assert() no longer cause
"syntax error" all over the kernel, and the above modpost warnings for
KCSAN are gone, too.

Change fatal() to error() to continue running to report more possible

There is no difference in the fact that modpost will fail anyway.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
We have 3 log functions. fatal() is special because it lets modpost bail
out immediately. The difference between warn() and error() is the only
prefix parts ("WARNING:" vs "ERROR:").
In my understanding, the expected handling of error() is to propagate
the return code of the function to the exit code of modpost, as
check_exports() etc. already does. This is a good manner in general
because we should display as many error messages as possible in a
single run of modpost.
What is annoying about fatal() is that it kills modpost at the first
error. People would need to run Kbuild again and again until they fix
all errors.
But, unfortunately, people tend to do:
"This case should not be allowed. Let's replace warn() with fatal()."
One of the reasons is probably it is tedious to manually hoist the error
code to the main() function.
This commit refactors error() so any single call for it automatically
makes modpost return the error code.
I also added comments in modpost.h for warn(), error(), and fatal().
Please use fatal() only when you have a strong reason to do so.
For example:
- Memory shortage (i.e. malloc() etc. has failed)
- The ELF file is broken, and there is no point to continue parsing
- Something really odd has happened
For general coding errors, please use error().

Tested-by: Quentin Perret <qperret@google.com>
The log function names, warn(), merror(), fatal() are inconsistent.
Commit 2a11665945 ("kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings
in modpost") intentionally chose merror() to avoid the conflict with
the library function error(). See man page of error(3).
But, we are already causing the conflict with warn() because it is also
a library function. See man page of warn(3). err() would be a problem
for the same reason.
The common technique to work around name conflicts is to use macros.
For example:
/* in a header */
#define error(fmt, ...) __error(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define warn(fmt, ...) __warn(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
/* function definition */
void __error(const char *fmt, ...)
{
<our implementation>
}
void __warn(const char *fmt, ...)
{
<our implementation>
}
In this way, we can implement our own warn() and error(), still we can
include <error.h> and <err.h> with no problem.
And, commit 93c95e526a ("modpost: rework and consolidate logging
interface") already did that.
Since the log functions are all macros, we can use error() without
causing "conflicting types" errors.

gcc-plugins: simplify GCC plugin-dev capability test

the results.
