When KCSAN and CONSTRUCTORS are enabled, one can trigger the
"Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!"
catch-all warning.
Usually, when objtool runs on the .o objects, it does generate a section
.return_sites which contains all offsets in the objects to the return
thunks of the functions present there. Those return thunks then get
patched at runtime by the alternatives.
KCSAN and CONSTRUCTORS add this to the object file's .text.startup
section:
-------------------
Disassembly of section .text.startup:
...
0000000000000010 <_sub_I_00099_0>:
10: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64

1a: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_return_thunk-0x4
-------------------
which, if it is built as a module goes through the intermediary stage of
creating a <module>.mod.c file which, when translated, receives a second
constructor:
-------------------
Disassembly of section .text.startup:
0000000000000010 <_sub_I_00099_0>:
10: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
14: e8 00 00 00 00 call 19 <_sub_I_00099_0+0x9>
15: R_X86_64_PLT32 __tsan_init-0x4
19: e9 00 00 00 00 jmp 1e <_sub_I_00099_0+0xe>
1a: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_return_thunk-0x4
...

3a: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_return_thunk-0x4
-------------------
in the .ko file.
Objtool has run already so that second constructor's return thunk cannot
be added to the .return_sites section and thus the return thunk remains
unpatched and the warning rightfully fires.
Drop KCSAN flags from the mod.c generation stage as those constructors
do not contain data races one would be interested about.

The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.
Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.
There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.
Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and
'.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation
fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler().
find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL
if a better one is not found.
This fixes the reported segmentation fault.

The boolean 'choice' is used to list exclusively selected config
options.
You must not add a dependency between choice members, because such a
dependency would create an invisible entry.
In the following test case, it is impossible to choose 'C'.
[Test Case 1]
choice
prompt "Choose one, but how to choose C?"
config A
bool "A"
config B
bool "B"
config C
bool "C"
depends on A
endchoice
Hence, Kconfig shows the following error message:
Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
Kconfig:1: choice <choice> contains symbol C
Kconfig:10: symbol C is part of choice A
Kconfig:4: symbol A is part of choice <choice>
For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst
subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations"
However, Kconfig does not report anything for the following similar code:
[Test Case 2]
choice
prompt "Choose one, but how to choose B?"
config A
bool "A"
config B
bool "B"
depends on A
config C
bool "C"
endchoice
This is because menu_finalize() reparents the menu tree when an entry
depends on the preceding one.
With reparenting, the menu tree:
choice
|- A
|- B
\- C
... will be transformed into the following structure:
choice
|- A
| \- B
\- C
Consequently, Kconfig considers only 'A' and 'C' as choice members.
This behavior is awkward. The second test case should be an error too.
This commit stops reparenting inside a choice.

Commit c8fb7d7e48d1 ("kconfig: fix broken dependency in randconfig-
generated .config") fixed the issue, but I did not add a test case.
This commit adds a test case that emulates the reported situation.
The test would fail without c8fb7d7e48d1.
To handle the choice "choose X", FOO must be calculated beforehand.
FOO depends on A, which is a member of another choice "choose A or B".
Kconfig _temporarily_ assumes the value of A to proceed. The choice
"choose A or B" will be shuffled later, but the result may or may not
meet "FOO depends on A". Kconfig should invalidate the symbol values
and recompute them.
In the real example for ARCH=arm64, the choice "Instrumentation type"
needs the value of CPU_BIG_ENDIAN. The choice "Endianness" will be
shuffled later.

Since commit 3b9a19e08960 ("kconfig: loop as long as we changed some
symbols in randconfig"), conf_set_all_new_symbols() is repeated until
there is no more choice left to be shuffled. The motivation was to
shuffle a choice nested in another choice.
Although commit 09d5873e4d1f ("kconfig: allow only 'config', 'comment',
and 'if' inside 'choice'") disallowed the nested choice structure,
we must still keep 3b9a19e08960 because there are still cases where
conf_set_all_new_symbols() must iterate.
scripts/kconfig/tests/choice_randomize/Kconfig is the test case.
The second choice depends on 'B', which is the member of the first
choice.
With 3b9a19e08960 reverted, we would never get the pattern specified by
scripts/kconfig/tests/choice_randomize/expected_config2.
A real example can be found in lib/Kconfig.debug. Without 3b9a19e08960,
the randconfig would not shuffle the "Compressed Debug information"
choice, which depends on DEBUG_INFO, which is derived from another
choice "Debug information".
My goal is to refactor Kconfig so that randconfig will work more
simply, without using the loop.
For now, let's add a test case to ensure all dependent choices are
shuffled, as it is a somewhat tricky case for the current Kconfig.

Some architectures, like aarch64 ones, need a dtb file to configure the
hardware. The default dtb file can be preloaded from u-boot, but the final
and/or more complete dtb file needs to be able to be loaded later from
rootfs.
Add the possible dtb files to the kernel rpm and mimic Fedora shipping
process, storing the dtb files in the module directory. These dtb files
will be copied to /boot directory by the install scripts, but add fallback
just in case, checking if the content in /boot directory is correct.
Mark the files installed to /boot as %ghost to make sure they will be
removed when the package is uninstalled.
Tested with Fedora Rawhide (x86_64 and aarch64) with dnf and rpm tools.
In addition, fallback was also tested after modifying the install scripts.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"S390:
- Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
- Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
requested
- More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)
- Fix selftests undefined behavior
x86:
- Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
architectural PMU spec
- Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
kvm-unit-tests)
- Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized
- Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
exposed to the guest
- Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit
- Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
code
- Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support
- Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
deletes a memslot
- Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives
- Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM
- Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
some optimization for both Intel and AMD
- Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
unnecessary work
- Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
in-kernel
- Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
kernel
x86 Xen emulation:
- Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
but the underlying host virtual address remains the same
- When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
timer emulation
- Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
behavior)
- Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
IDs
RISC-V:
- Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
- New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
- New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
- Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs
ARM:
- Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
registers
- Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
assigned devices that can tolerate it
- Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
injection path
- Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
- Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
selftests
LoongArch:
- Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG
- Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking
- Do not restart SW timer when it is expired
- Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest
- Misc cleanups and fixes as usual
Generic:
- Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else
- Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
requiring each architecture to specify it
- Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers
- Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
- Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded
- Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker
Selftests:
- Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
infrastructure
- Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory
- Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

When getting kernel version via make, the result may be polluted by other
output, like directory change info. e.g.
$ export MAKEFLAGS="-w"
$ make kernelversion
make: Entering directory '/home/net'
6.8.0
make: Leaving directory '/home/net'
This will distort the reStructuredText output and make latter rst2man
failed like:
[...]
bpf-helpers.rst:20: (WARNING/2) Field list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
[...]
Using silent mode would help. e.g.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".
Drivers:
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Add a new driver for Marvell's Octeon PCI Endpoint NIC VF.
- Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
- support E825-C devices
- nVidia/Mellanox:
- support devices with one port and multiple PCIe links

- Synopsys (stmmac):
- obey queueMaxSDU and implement counters required by 802.1Qbv
- Renesas (ravb):
- support packet checksum offload

Pull SoC device tree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"There is very little going on with new SoC support this time, all the
new chips are variations of others that we already support, and they
are all based on ARMv8 cores:
- Mediatek MT7981B (Filogic 820) and MT7988A (Filogic 880) are
networking SoCs designed to be used in wireless routers, similar to
the already supported MT7986A (Filogic 830).
- NXP i.MX8DXP is a variant of i.MX8QXP, with two CPU cores less.
These are used in many embedded and industrial applications.
- Renesas R8A779G2 (R-Car V4H ES2.0) and R8A779H0 (R-Car V4M) are
automotive SoCs.
- TI J722S is another automotive variant of its K3 family, related to
the AM62 series.
There are a total of 7 new arm32 machines and 45 arm64 ones, including
- Two Android phones based on the old Tegra30 chip
- Two machines using Cortex-A53 SoCs from Allwinner, a mini PC and a
SoM development board
- A set-top box using Amlogic Meson G12A S905X2
- Eight embedded board using NXP i.MX6/8/9
- Three machines using Mediatek network router chips
- Ten Chromebooks, all based on Mediatek MT8186
- One development board based on Mediatek MT8395 (Genio 1200)

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory
via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the
compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
of FPU switching - which also generates better code
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate
slightly better code

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"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

- 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...

- Place generated 'init_module()' function in '.init.text'

The kernel CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC option enables the ORC unwinder, which is
similar in concept to a DWARF unwinder. The difference is that the format
of the ORC data is much simpler than DWARF, which in turn allows the ORC
unwinder to be much simpler and faster.
The ORC data consists of unwind tables which are generated by objtool.
After analyzing all the code paths of a .o file, it determines information
about the stack state at each instruction address in the file and outputs
that information to the .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections.
The per-object ORC sections are combined at link time and are sorted and
post-processed at boot time. The unwinder uses the resulting data to
correlate instruction addresses with their stack states at run time.
Most of the logic are similar with x86, in order to get ra info before ra
is saved into stack, add ra_reg and ra_offset into orc_entry. At the same
time, modify some arch-specific code to silence the objtool warnings.

Commit 4a5838ad9d2d ("kbuild: Add extra gcc checks") added the
-Wpacked-bitfield-compat flag, but there is no need to add it
explicitly.
GCC manual says:
"This warning is enabled by default. Use -Wno-packed-bitfield-compat
to disable this warning."
The test code in the manual:
struct foo
{
char a:4;
char b:8;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
... emits "note: offset of packed bit-field ‘b’ has changed in GCC 4.4"
without W=3.
Let's remove it, as it is a default with GCC.
Clang does not support this flag, so its removal will not affect Clang
builds.

Commit 25b146c5b8ce ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory")
exported abs_srctree and abs_objtree to avoid recomputation after the
sub-make. However, this approach turned out to be fragile.
Commit 5fa94ceb793e ("kbuild: set correct abs_srctree and abs_objtree
for package builds") moved them above "ifneq ($(sub_make_done),1)",
eliminating the need for exporting them.
These are only needed in the top Makefile. If an absolute path is

as needed.

Doing arithmetic between or returning two different types of enums could
be a bug, so each of the instance of the warning needs to be evaluated.
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there are many instances of this
warning in many different configurations, which can break the build when
CONFIG_WERROR is enabled.
To avoid introducing new instances of the warnings while cleaning up the
disruption for the majority of users, disable these warnings for the
default build while leaving them on for W=1 builds.

Currently, there is no direct link from (struct symbol) to (struct menu).
It is still possible to access associated menus through the P_SYMBOL
property, because property::menu is the relevant menu entry, but it
results in complex code, as seen in get_symbol_str().
Use a linked list for simpler traversal of relevant menus.
