After commit 5ab23c7923 ("modpost: Create modalias for builtin
modules"), relocatable RISC-V kernels with CONFIG_KASAN=y start failing
when attempting to strip the module device table symbols:
riscv64-linux-objcopy: not stripping symbol `__mod_device_table__kmod_irq_starfive_jh8100_intc__of__starfive_intc_irqchip_match_table' because it is named in a relocation
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:97: vmlinux] Error 1
The relocation appears to come from .LASANLOC5 in .data.rel.local:
$ llvm-objdump --disassemble-symbols=.LASANLOC5 --disassemble-all -r drivers/irqchip/irq-starfive-jh8100-intc.o
drivers/irqchip/irq-starfive-jh8100-intc.o: file format elf64-littleriscv

...
This section appears to come from GCC for including additional
information about global variables that may be protected by KASAN.
There appears to be no way to opt out of the generation of these symbols
through either a flag or attribute. Attempting to remove '.LASANLOC*'
with '--strip-symbol' results in the same error as above because these
symbols may refer to (thus have relocation between) each other.
Avoid this build breakage by switching to '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for
removing __mod_device_table__ symbols, as it will only remove the symbol
when there is no relocation pointing to it. While this may result in a
little more bloat in the symbol table in certain configurations, it is
not as bad as outright build failures.

Prior to binutils commit c12d9fa2afe ("Support objcopy
--remove-section=.relaFOO") [1] in 2.32, stripping relocation sections
required the trailing period (i.e., '.rel.*') to work properly.
After commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped"), there is an error with binutils 2.31.1 or earlier
because these sections are not properly removed:
s390-linux-objcopy: st6tO8Ev: symbol `.modinfo' required but not present
s390-linux-objcopy:st6tO8Ev: no symbols
Add the old pattern to resolve this issue (along with a comment to allow
cleaning this when binutils 2.32 or newer is the minimum supported
version). While the aforementioned kbuild change exposes this, the
pattern was originally changed by commit 71d815bf5d ("kbuild: Strip
runtime const RELA sections correctly"), where it would still be
incorrect with binutils older than 2.32.

Commit 27758d8c25 ("kbuild: enable -Werror for hostprogs")
unconditionally enabled -Werror for the compiler, assembler, and linker
when building the host programs, as the build footprint of the host
programs is small (thus risk of build failures from warnings are low)
and that stage of the build may not have Kconfig values (thus
CONFIG_WERROR could not be used as a precondition).
While turning warnings into errors unconditionally happens in a few
places within the kernel, it can be disruptive to people who may be
building with newer compilers, such as while doing a bisect. While it is
possible to avoid this behavior by passing HOSTCFLAGS=-w or
HOSTCFLAGS=-Wno-error, it may not be the most intuitive for regular
users not intimately familiar with Kbuild.
Avoid being disruptive to the entire build by depending on the explicit
opt-in of CONFIG_WERROR or W=e to enable -Werror and the like while
building the host programs. While this means there is a small portion of
the build that does not have -Werror enabled (namely scripts/kconfig/*
and scripts/basic/fixdep), it is better than not having it altogether.

The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig"
target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these
symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values
from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target
explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed.
The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional
symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with
SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these
symbols unnecessarily.
Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value
gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user
value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to
prevent prompting.
Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults
are not prompted in "oldconfig", except when conditional defaults evaluate
to 'no' and should legitimately be prompted.
Build tested with "make testconfig".

- The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
an anon vma.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking

Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code
- "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations
- "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
the memdesc project. Please see
https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
the treatment of stacked filesystems

Core & protocols
----------------
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets
and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS.
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by
an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions.
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has
some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads
capabilities.
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than
one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for
Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S).
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath.
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts,
this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW.
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds.
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump
operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on
delete.
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge
instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude
faster on large switches.
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation
time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios.
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets.
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent
TCP autotuning changes.
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down.
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups.
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races.
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing
code duplication.
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP
buffer.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated
YAML parser.
Driver API
----------
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection.
- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing
TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups.
- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath.
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the
number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX
ring queries and RSS configuration.
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause.
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average, controlling
the average smoothing factor.

"One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for
kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.
This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
support), this came up again.
The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming.

- Add a RISC-V optimized implementation of Poly1305. This code was
written by Andy Polyakov and contributed by Zhihang Shao.
- Migrate the MD5 code into lib/crypto/, and add KUnit tests for MD5.
Yes, it's still the 90s, and several kernel subsystems are still using
MD5 for legacy use cases. As long as that remains the case, it's
helpful to clean it up in the same way as I've been doing for other
algorithms. Later, I plan to convert most of these users of MD5 to use
the new MD5 library API instead of the generic crypto API.
- Simplify the organization of the ChaCha, Poly1305, BLAKE2s, and
Curve25519 code. Consolidate these into one module per algorithm,
and centralize the configuration and build process. This is the same
reorganization that has already been successful for SHA-1 and SHA-2.
- Remove the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519.
- Migrate the BLAKE2s and Curve25519 self-tests to KUnit.
- Always enable the architecture-optimized BLAKE2s code.
Due to interdependencies between test and non-test code, both are
included in this pull request. The broken-down diffstat is as follows:
Tests: 735 insertions(+), 1917 deletions(-)
RISC-V Poly1305: 877 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
Other: 1777 insertions(+), 3117 deletions(-)
Besides the new RISC-V code which is an addition, there are quite a
few simplifications due to the improved code organization for multiple
algorithms, the removal of the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519
and redundant tests, and the redesign of the BLAKE2s test.

However, these warnings are also triggered for code under tools/ and

This patch suppresses these warnings for files in tools/ and scripts/.

Add a new Coccinelle script to identify places where PTR_ERR() is used
in print functions and suggest using the %pe format specifier instead.
For printing error pointers (i.e., a pointer for which IS_ERR() is true)
%pe will print a symbolic error name (e.g,. -EINVAL), opposed to the raw
errno (e.g,. -22) produced by PTR_ERR().
It also makes the code cleaner by saving a redundant call to PTR_ERR().
The script supports context, report, and org modes.
Example transformation:
printk("Error: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(ptr)); // Before
printk("Error: %pe\n", ptr); // After

During kernel option migrations (e.g. CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI),
existing .config files need to maintain backward compatibility while
preventing deprecated options from appearing in newly generated
configurations. This is challenging with existing Kconfig mechanisms
because:
1. Simply removing old options breaks existing .config files.
2. Manually listing an option as "deprecated" leaves it needlessly
visible and still writes them to new .config files.
3. Using any method to remove visibility (.e.g no 'prompt', 'if n',
etc) prevents the option from being processed at all.
Add a "transitional" attribute that creates symbols which are:
- Processed during configuration (can influence other symbols' defaults)
- Hidden from user menus (no prompts appear)
- Omitted from newly written .config files (gets migrated)
- Restricted to only having help sections (no defaults, selects, etc)
making it truly just a "prior value pass-through" option.
The transitional syntax requires a type argument and prevents type
redefinition:
config NEW_OPTION
bool "New option"
default OLD_OPTION
config OLD_OPTION
bool
transitional
help
Transitional config for OLD_OPTION migration.
This allows seamless migration: olddefconfig processes existing
CONFIG_OLD_OPTION=y settings to enable CONFIG_NEW_OPTION=y, while
CONFIG_OLD_OPTION is omitted from newly generated .config files.
Added positive and negative testing via "testconfig" make target.

Alexey Gladkov says:
The modules.builtin.modinfo file is used by userspace (kmod to be specific) to
get information about builtin modules. Among other information about the module,
information about module aliases is stored. This is very important to determine
that a particular modalias will be handled by a module that is inside the
kernel.
There are several mechanisms for creating modalias for modules:
The first is to explicitly specify the MODULE_ALIAS of the macro. In this case,
the aliases go into the '.modinfo' section of the module if it is compiled
separately or into vmlinux.o if it is builtin into the kernel.
The second is the use of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE followed by the use of the
modpost utility. In this case, vmlinux.o no longer has this information and
does not get it into modules.builtin.modinfo.
For example:
$ modinfo pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30
modinfo: ERROR: Module pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30 not found.
$ modinfo xhci_pci
name: xhci_pci
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
The builtin module is missing alias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be
generated by modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to add the generated by modpost modalias to
modules.builtin.modinfo. Fortunately modpost already generates .vmlinux.export.c
for exported symbols. It is possible to add `.modinfo` for builtin modules and
modify the build system so that `.modinfo` section is extracted from the
intermediate vmlinux after modpost is executed.

For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.
When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.
As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias

Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.

At this point, if a symbol is compiled as part of the kernel,
information about which module the symbol belongs to is lost.
To save this it is possible to add the module name to the alias name.

With lines having a symbol to decode, the script was only trying to
preserve the alignment for the timestamps, but not the rest, nor when the
caller was set (CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER=y).
With this sample ...
[ 52.080924] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926] <TASK>
[ 52.080931] dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0
... the script was producing the following output:
[ 52.080924] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926] <TASK>
[ 52.080931] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)
(dump_stack_lvl is no longer aligned with <TASK>: one missing space)
With this other sample ...
[ 52.080924][ T48] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926][ T48] <TASK>
[ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0
... the script was producing the following output:
[ 52.080924][ T48] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926][ T48] <TASK>
[ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)
(the misalignment is clearer here)
That's because the script had a workaround for CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y only,
see the previous comment called "Format timestamps with tabs".
To always preserve spaces, they need to be recorded along the words. That
is what is now done with the new 'spaces' array.
Some notes:
- 'extglob' is needed only for this operation, and that's why it is set
in a dedicated subshell.
- 'read' is used with '-r' not to treat a <backslash> character in any
special way, e.g. when followed by a space.
- When a word is removed from the 'words' array, the corresponding space
needs to be removed from the 'spaces' array as well.
With the last sample, we now have:
[ 52.080924][ T48] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926][ T48] <TASK>
[ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)

A few patches slightly improving the output generated by
decode_stacktrace.sh.
This patch (of 3):
Lines having a symbol to decode might not always have info after this
symbol. It means ${info_str} might not be set, but it will always be
printed after a space, causing trailing whitespaces.
That's a detail, but when the output is opened with an editor marking
these trailing whitespaces, that's a bit disturbing. It is easy to remove
them by printing this variable with a space only if it is set.
While at it, do the same with ${module} and print everything in one line.
