Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"This really says it all:

The variable 'PYTHON' allows users to specify a proper executable
name in case the default 'python' does not work. However, this does
not address the case where both Python 2.x and 3.x scripts are used
in one source tree.PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) provides a
convention for Python scripts portability. Here is a quotation:In order to tolerate differences across platforms, all new code
that needs to invoke the Python interpreter should not specify
'python', but rather should specify either 'python2' or 'python3'.
This distinction should be made in shebangs, when invoking from a
shell script, when invoking via the system() call, or when invoking
in any other context.
One exception to this is scripts that are deliberately written to
be source compatible with both Python 2.x and 3.x. Such scripts may
continue to use python on their shebang line without affecting their
portability.To meet this requirement, this commit adds new variables 'PYTHON2'
and 'PYTHON3'.arch/ia64/scripts/unwcheck.py is the only script that has ever used
$(PYTHON). Recent commit bd5edbe67794 ("ia64: convert unwcheck.py to
python3") converted it to be compatible with both Python 2.x and 3.x,
so this is the exceptional case where the use of 'python' is allowed.
So, I did not touch arch/ia64/Makefile.tools/perf/Makefile.config sets PYTHON and PYTHON2 by itself, so it
is not affected by this commit.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help
and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a
historical misnomer. That commit removed it from help and docs since
it is an internal interface. If so, it should be allowed to rename
it to something more intuitive. 'syncconfig' is the one I came up
with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize
include/generated/autoconf.h and include/config/* with it.You should not manually invoke 'silentoldcofig'. Display warning if
used in case existing scripts are doing wrong.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

If CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and the kernel is built from
a pristine state, the vmlinux is linked twice.[1] A user runs 'make'
[2] First build with empty autoksyms.h
[3] adjust_autoksyms.sh updates autoksyms.h and recurses 'make vmlinux'
--------(begin sub-make)--------
[4] Second build with new autoksyms.h[5] link-vmlinux.sh is invoked because vmlinux is missing
---------(end sub-make)---------[6] link-vmlinux.sh is invoked again despite vmlinux is up-to-date.
The reason of [6] is probably because Make already decided to update
vmlinux at the time of [2] because vmlinux was missing when Make
built up the dependency graph.Because if_changed is implemented based on $?, this issue can be
narrowed down to how Make handles $?.You can test it with the following simple code:
[Test Makefile]
A: B
@echo newer prerequisite: $?
cp B AB: C
cp C B
touch A[Result]
$ rm -f A B
$ touch C
$ make
cp C B
touch A
newer prerequisite: B
cp B AHere, 'A' has been touched in the recipe of 'B'. So, the dependency
'A: B' has already been met before the recipe of 'A' is executed.
However, Make does not notice the fact that the recipe of 'B' also
updates 'A' as a side-effect.The situation is similar in this case; the vmlinux has actually been
updated in the vmlinux_prereq target. Make cannot predict this, so
judges the vmlinux is old.link-vmlinux.sh is costly, so it is better to not run it when unneeded.
Split CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS recursion to a dedicated target.The reason of commit 2441e78b1919 ("kbuild: better abstract vmlinux
sequential prerequisites") was to cater to CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC, but
it was later removed by commit 184892925118 ("samples: move blackfin
gptimers-example from Documentation").Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

The idea of using fixdep was inspired by Kconfig, but autoksyms
belongs to a different group. So, I want to move those touched
files under include/config/ksym/ to include/ksym/.The directory include/ksym/ can be removed by 'make clean' because
it is meaningless for the external module building.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Commit d3fc425e819b ("kbuild: make sure autoksyms.h exists early")
moved the code that touches autoksyms.h to scripts/kconfig/Makefile
with obscure reason.From Nicolas' comment [1], he did not seem to be sure about the root
cause.I guess I figured it out, so here is a fix-up I think is more correct.
According to the error log in the original post [2], the build failed
in scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.cscripts/mod/Makefile is descended from scripts/Makefile, which is
invoked from the top-level Makefile by the 'scripts' target.To build vmlinux and/or modules, Kbuild descend into $(vmlinux-dirs).
This depends on 'prepare' and 'scripts' as follows:$(vmlinux-dirs): prepare scripts
Because there is no dependency between 'prepare' and 'scripts', the
parallel building can execute them simultaneously.'prepare' depends on 'prepare1', which touched autoksyms.h, while
'scripts' descends into script/, then scripts/mod/, which needs
if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS. It was the
reason of the race.I am not happy to have unrelated code in the Kconfig Makefile, so
getting it back to the top Makefile.I removed the standalone test target because I want to use it to
create an empty autoksyms.h file. Here is a little improvement;
unnecessary autoksyms.h is not created when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is disabled.[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/30/734

Currently LDFLAGS is not cleared, so same flags are accumulated in
LDFLAGS when the top Makefile is recursively invoked.I found unneeded rebuild for ARCH=arm64 when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is enabled. If include/generated/autoksyms.h is updated, the top
Makefile is recursively invoked, then arch/arm64/Makefile adds one
more '-maarch64linux'. Due to the command line change, modules are
rebuilt needlessly.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Incremental linking is gone, so rename built-in.o to built-in.a, which
is the usual extension for archive files.This patch does two things, first is a simple search/replace:
git grep -l 'built-in\.o' | xargs sed -i 's/built-in\.o/built-in\.a/g'
The second is to invert nesting of nested text manipulations to avoid
filtering built-in.a out from libs-y2:-libs-y2 := $(filter-out %.a, $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(libs-y)))
+libs-y2 := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(filter-out %.a, $(libs-y)))Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin

fs (/sys/fs/bpf/traffic_cookie_uid_map) and later on retrieving it
again resulting in above panic. Issue is that the map was wrongly
identified as a prog! Above kernel was compiled with clang 4.0,
and it turns out that clang decided to merge the bpf_prog_iops and
bpf_map_iops into a single memory location, such that the two i_ops
could then not be distinguished anymore.Reason for this miscompilation is that clang has the more aggressive
-fmerge-all-constants enabled by default. In fact, clang source code
has a comment about it in lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp on why it is okay
to do so:Pointers with different bases cannot represent the same object.
(Note that clang defaults to -fmerge-all-constants, which can
lead to inconsistent results for comparisons involving the address
of a constant; this generally doesn't matter in practice.)The issue never appeared with gcc however, since gcc does not enable
-fmerge-all-constants by default and even *explicitly* states in
it's option description that using this flag results in non-conforming
behavior, quote from man gcc:Languages like C or C++ require each variable, including multiple
instances of the same variable in recursive calls, to have distinct
locations, so using this option results in non-conforming behavior.There are also various clang bug reports open on that matter [1],
where clang developers acknowledge the non-conforming behavior,
and refer to disabling it with -fno-merge-all-constants. But even
if this gets fixed in clang today, there are already users out there
that triggered this. Thus, fix this issue by explicitly adding
-fno-merge-all-constants to the kernel's Makefile to generically
disable this optimization, since potentially other places in the
kernel could subtly break as well.Note, there is also a flag called -fmerge-constants (not supported
by clang), which is more conservative and only applies to strings
and it's enabled in gcc's -O/-O2/-O3/-Os optimization levels. In
gcc's code, the two flags -fmerge-{all-,}constants share the same
variable internally, so when disabling it via -fno-merge-all-constants,
then we really don't merge any const data (e.g. strings), and text
size increases with gcc (14,927,214 -> 14,942,646 for vmlinux.o).$ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 foo.c -S -o foo.S
-> foo.S lists -fmerge-constants under options enabled
$ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 -fno-merge-all-constants foo.c -S -o foo.S
-> foo.S doesn't list -fmerge-constants under options enabled
$ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 -fno-merge-all-constants -fmerge-constants foo.c -S -o foo.S
-> foo.S lists -fmerge-constants under options enabledThus, as a workaround we need to set both -fno-merge-all-constants
*and* -fmerge-constants in the Makefile in order for text size to
stay as is.[1] https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18538

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.Cc: Chris Metcalf

'--build-id' is passed to $(LD), so it should be tested by 'ld-option'.
This seems a kind of misconversion when ld-option was renamed to
cc-ldoption.Commit f86fd3066052 ("kbuild: rename ld-option to cc-ldoption") renamed
all instances of 'ld-option' to 'cc-ldoption'.Then, commit 691ef3e7fdc1 ("kbuild: introduce ld-option") re-added
'ld-option' as a new implementation.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Currently, sparse issues warnings on code using an attribute
it doesn't know about.One of the problem with this is that these warnings have no
value for the developer, it's just noise for him. At best these
warnings tell something about some deficiencies of sparse itself
but not about a potential problem with code analyzed.A second problem with this is that sparse release are, alas,
less frequent than new attributes are added to GCC.So, avoid the noise by asking sparse to not warn about
attributes it doesn't know about.Reference: https://marc.info/?l=linux-sparse&m=151871600016790

The comment above the silentoldconfig invocation is outdated.
'make oldconfig' updates just .config and doesn't touch the
include/config/ tree.This came up in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/12/415.
While fixing the comment, make it more informative by explaining the
purpose of the unfortunately named silentoldconfig.I can't make sense of the comment re. auto.conf.cmd and a cleaned tree.
include/config/auto.conf and include/config/auto.conf.cmd are both
created simultaneously by silentoldconfig (in
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c, by conf_write_autoconf()), and nothing seems
to remove auto.conf.cmd that wouldn't remove auto.conf. Remove that part
of the comment rather than blindly copying it. It might be a leftover
from an older way of doing things.The include/config/auto.conf.cmd prerequisite might be there to ensure
that silentoldconfig gets rerun if conf_write_autoconf() fails between
writing out auto.conf.cmd and auto.conf (a comment in the function
indicates that auto.conf is deliberately written out last to mark
completion of the operation). It seems the Makefile dependency between
include/config/auto.conf and .config would already take care of that
though, since include/config/auto.conf would still be out of date re.
.config if the operation fails.Cop out and leave the prerequisite in for now.

select the validation stuff for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y (most builds would already

Nearly all modern compilers support a stack-protector option, and nearly
all modern distributions enable the kernel stack-protector, so enabling
this by default in kernel builds would make sense. However, Kconfig does
not have knowledge of available compiler features, so it isn't safe to
force on, as this would unconditionally break builds for the compilers or
architectures that don't have support. Instead, this introduces a new
option, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO, which attempts to discover the best
possible stack-protector available, and will allow builds to proceed even
if the compiler doesn't support any stack-protector.This option is made the default so that kernels built with modern
compilers will be protected-by-default against stack buffer overflows,
avoiding things like the recent BlueBorne attack. Selection of a specific
stack-protector option remains available, including disabling it.Additionally, tiny.config is adjusted to use CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, since
that's the option with the least code size (and it used to be the default,
so we have to explicitly choose it there now).Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1510076320-69931-4-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org

Various portions of the kernel, especially per-architecture pieces,
need to know if the compiler is building with the stack protector.
This was done in the arch/Kconfig with 'select', but this doesn't
allow a way to do auto-detected compiler support. In preparation for
creating an on-if-available default, move the logic for the definition of
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR into the Makefile.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1510076320-69931-3-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org

In order to make stack-protector failures warn instead of unconditionally
breaking the build, this moves the compiler output sanity-check earlier,
and sets a flag for later testing. Future patches can choose to warn or
fail, depending on the flag value.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1510076320-69931-2-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org

With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset). KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/8ffecfffe04088c52c42b92739c2bd8a0bcb3f5e.1516384594.git.andreyknvl@google.com

Currently, GCC disables -Wunused-const-variable, but not
-Wunused-variable, so warns unused variables if they are
non-constant.While, Clang does not warn unused variables at all regardless of
the const qualifier because -Wno-unused-const-variable is implied
by the stronger option -Wno-unused-variable.Disable -Wunused-const-variable instead of -Wunused-variable so that
GCC and Clang work in the same way.Signed-off-by: Prasad Sodagudi
