Commit 86cdd2fdc4e3 ("kheaders: make headers archive reproducible")
introduced a number of options specific to GNU tar to the `tar`
invocation in `gen_kheaders.sh` script. This causes the script to fail
to work on systems where `tar` is not GNU tar. This can occur e.g.
on recent Gentoo Linux installations that support using bsdtar from
libarchive instead.
Add a `TAR` make variable to make it possible to override the tar
executable used, e.g. by specifying:
make TAR=gtar

The userprogs infrastructure does not expect clang being used with GNU ld
and in that case uses /usr/bin/ld for linking, not the configured $(LD).
This fallback is problematic as it will break when cross-compiling.
Mixing clang and GNU ld is used for example when building for SPARC64,
as ld.lld is not sufficient; see Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst.
Relax the check around --ld-path so it gets used for all linkers.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
'ref_as_ptr'
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
assembly between both C and Rust
This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
functional change expected there
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));
assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
it to the prelude, too
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
some other cleanups
Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances
- 'dma' module:
- Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature
- Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'
- Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'
- Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
the corresponding type invariants
- Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
check the type matches the timer mode
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
on the requested sleep time
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
simplifications too
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want
to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
in 'static_lock_class'
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are
now (pin-)initializers
- Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'
- New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'
- Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for
'"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T'
- Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'
- Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
'--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
'-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

In Rust 1.78.0, Clippy introduced the `ref_as_ptr` lint [1]:
> Using `as` casts may result in silently changing mutability or type.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

Before Rust 1.29.0, Clippy introduced the `cast_lossless` lint [1]:
> Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including
> silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from`
> will only perform lossless conversions. Using the conversion functions
> prevents conversions from becoming silently lossy if the input types

In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]:
> The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that
> might go undetected due to the type being inferred.
>
> The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always
> specifying the type.
Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call
contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying
the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`.
The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters.
There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was
revealed to be a `useless_conversion`.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

There is only one affected callsite, and the change amounts to replacing
`as _` with `.cast_mut().cast()`. This doesn't change the semantics, but
is more descriptive of what's going on.
Apply this change and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

There are only 3 affected sites:
- `*mut T as *const U as *mut U` becomes `(*mut T).cast()`.
- `&self as *const Self as *mut Self` becomes
`core::ptr::from_ref(self).cast_mut()`.
- `*const T as *mut _` becommes `(*const T).cast_mut()`.
Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change

> Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible,
> `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the
> pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`.
There are a few classes of changes required:
- Modules generated by bindgen are marked
`#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`.
- Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`.
- Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`.
- Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are
replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::<T>`
according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is
required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference
failure.
- Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`.
- `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut
T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing.
Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change
intended.

KBUILD_BUILTIN is set to 1 unless you are building only modules.
KBUILD_MODULES is set to 1 when you are building only modules
(a typical use case is "make modules").
It is more useful to set them to 'y' instead, so we can do
something like:
always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN) += vmlinux.lds
This works equivalently to:
extra-y += vmlinux.lds
This allows us to deprecate extra-y. extra-y and always-y are quite
similar, and we do not need both.

Since commit 7273ad2b08f8 ("kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux
forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y"), all objects from lib-y have been
forcibly linked to vmlinux when CONFIG_MODULES=y.
To simplify future changes, this commit makes all objects from lib-y
be linked regardless of the CONFIG_MODULES setting.
Most use cases (CONFIG_MODULES=y) are not affected by this change.
The vmlinux size with ARCH=arm allnoconfig, where CONFIG_MODULES=n,
increases as follows:
text data bss dec hex filename
1368644 835104 206288 2410036 24c634 vmlinux.before
1379440 837064 206288 2422792 24f808 vmlinux.after
We no longer benefit from using static libraries, but the impact is
mitigated by supporting CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION.
For example, the size of vmlinux remains almost the same with ARCH=arm
tinyconfig, where CONFIG_MODULES=n and
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y.

remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a
command-line option if need be. Unless some reason to keep it
around materializes, it will probably go away in 6.17.
Credit goes to Mauro Carvalho Chehab for doing all this work.

This reverts commit dbdffaf50ff9cee3259a7cef8a7bd9e0f0ba9f13.
--remap-path-prefix breaks the ability of debuggers to find the source
file corresponding to object files. As there is no simple or uniform
way to specify the source directory explicitly, this breaks developers
workflows.
Revert the unconditional usage of --remap-path-prefix, equivalent to the

Clang and GCC have different behaviors around disabling warnings
included in -Wall and -Wextra and the order in which flags are
specified, which is exposed by clang's new support for
-Wunterminated-string-initialization.
$ cat test.c
const char foo[3] = "FOO";
const char bar[3] __attribute__((__nonstring__)) = "BAR";
$ clang -fsyntax-only -Wextra test.c
test.c:1:21: warning: initializer-string for character array is too long, array size is 3 but initializer has size 4 (including the null terminating character); did you mean to use the 'nonstring' attribute? [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
1 | const char foo[3] = "FOO";
| ^~~~~
$ clang -fsyntax-only -Wextra -Wno-unterminated-string-initialization test.c
$ clang -fsyntax-only -Wno-unterminated-string-initialization -Wextra test.c
test.c:1:21: warning: initializer-string for character array is too long, array size is 3 but initializer has size 4 (including the null terminating character); did you mean to use the 'nonstring' attribute? [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
1 | const char foo[3] = "FOO";
| ^~~~~
$ gcc -fsyntax-only -Wextra test.c

$ gcc -fsyntax-only -Wno-unterminated-string-initialization -Wextra test.c
Move -Wextra up right below -Wall in Makefile.extrawarn to ensure these
flags are at the beginning of the warning options list. Move the couple
of warning options that have been added to the main Makefile since
commit e88ca24319e4 ("kbuild: consolidate warning flags in
scripts/Makefile.extrawarn") to scripts/Makefile.extrawarn after -Wall /
-Wextra to ensure they get properly disabled for all compilers.

This was triggered by one of my mis-uses causing odd build warnings on
sparc in linux-next, but while figuring out why the "obviously correct"
use of cc-option caused such odd breakage, I found eight other cases of
the same thing in the tree.
The root cause is that 'cc-option' doesn't work for checking negative
warning options (ie things like '-Wno-stringop-overflow') because gcc
will silently accept options it doesn't recognize, and so 'cc-option'
ends up thinking they are perfectly fine.
And it all works, until you have a situation where _another_ warning is
emitted. At that point the compiler will go "Hmm, maybe the user
intended to disable this warning but used that wrong option that I
didn't recognize", and generate a warning for the unrecognized negative
option.
Which explains why we have several cases of this in the tree: the
'cc-option' test really doesn't work for this situation, but most of the
time it simply doesn't matter that ity doesn't work.
The reason my recently added case caused problems on sparc was pointed
out by Thomas Weißschuh: the sparc build had a previous explicit warning
that then triggered the new one.
I think the best fix for this would be to make 'cc-option' a bit smarter
about this sitation, possibly by adding an intentional warning to the
test case that then triggers the unrecognized option warning reliably.
But the short-term fix is to replace 'cc-option' with an existing helper
designed for this exact case: 'cc-disable-warning', which picks the
negative warning but uses the positive form for testing the compiler
support.

I had left the warning around but as a non-fatal error to get my gcc-15
builds going, but fixed up some of the most annoying warning cases so
that it wouldn't be *too* verbose.
Because I like the _concept_ of the warning, even if I detested the
implementation to shut it up.
It turns out the implementation to shut it up is even more broken than I
thought, and my "shut up most of the warnings" patch just caused fatal
errors on gcc-14 instead.
I had tested with clang, but when I upgrade my development environment,
I try to do it on all machines because I hate having different systems
to maintain, and hadn't realized that gcc-14 now had issues.
The ACPI case is literally why I wanted to have a *type* that doesn't
trigger the warning (see commit d5d45a7f2619: "gcc-15: make
'unterminated string initialization' just a warning"), instead of
marking individual places as "__nonstring".
But gcc-14 doesn't like that __nonstring location that shut gcc-15 up,
because it's on an array of char arrays, not on one single array:
drivers/acpi/tables.c:399:1: error: 'nonstring' attribute ignored on objects of type 'const char[][4]' [-Werror=attributes]
399 | static const char table_sigs[][ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __initconst __nonstring = {
| ^~~~~~
and my attempts to nest it properly with a type had failed, because of
how gcc doesn't like marking the types as having attributes, only
symbols.
There may be some trick to it, but I was already annoyed by the bad
attribute design, now I'm just entirely fed up with it.
I wish gcc had a proper way to say "this type is a *byte* array, not a
string".
The obvious thing would be to distinguish between "char []" and an
explicitly signed "unsigned char []" (as opposed to an implicitly
unsigned char, which is typically an architecture-specific default, but
for the kernel is universal thanks to '-funsigned-char').
But any "we can typedef a 8-bit type to not become a string just because
it's an array" model would be fine.
But "__attribute__((nonstring))" is sadly not that sane model.

gcc-15 enabling -Wunterminated-string-initialization in -Wextra by
default was done with the best intentions, but the warning is still
quite broken.
What annoys me about the warning is that this is a very traditional AND
CORRECT way to initialize fixed byte arrays in C:
unsigned char hex[16] = "0123456789abcdef";
and we use this all over the kernel. And the warning is fine, but gcc
developers apparently never made a reasonable way to disable it. As is
(sadly) tradition with these things.
Yes, there's "__attribute__((nonstring))", and we have a macro to make
that absolutely disgusting syntax more palatable (ie the kernel syntax
for that monstrosity is just "__nonstring").
But that attribute is misdesigned. What you'd typically want to do is
tell the compiler that you are using a type that isn't a string but a
byte array, but that doesn't work at all:
warning: ‘nonstring’ attribute does not apply to types [-Wattributes]
and because of this fundamental mis-design, you then have to mark each
instance of that pattern.
This is particularly noticeable in our ACPI code, because ACPI has this
notion of a 4-byte "type name" that gets used all over, and is exactly
this kind of byte array.
This is a sad oversight, because the warning is useful, but really would
be so much better if gcc had also given a sane way to indicate that we
really just want a byte array type at a type level, not the broken "each
and every array definition" level.
So now instead of creating a nice "ACPI name" type using something like
typedef char acpi_name_t[4] __nonstring;
we have to do things like
char name[ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __nonstring;
in every place that uses this concept and then happens to have the
typical initializers.
This is annoying me mainly because I think the warning _is_ a good
warning, which is why I'm not just turning it off in disgust. But it is
hampered by this bad implementation detail.
[ And obviously I'm doing this now because system upgrades for me are
something that happen in the middle of the release cycle: don't do it
before or during travel, or just before or during the busy merge
window period. ]

Starting with Rust 1.86.0, Clippy's `needless_continue` lint complains
about the last statement of a loop [1], including cases like:
while ... {
match ... {
... if ... => {
...
return ...;
}
_ => continue,
}
}
as well as nested `match`es in a loop.
One solution is changing `continue` for `()` [2], but arguably using
`continue` shows the intent better when it is alone in an arm like that.
Moreover, I am not sure we want to force people to try to find other
ways to write the code either, in cases when that applies.
In addition, the help text does not really apply in the new cases the
lint has introduced, e.g. here one cannot simply "drop" the expression:
warning: this `continue` expression is redundant
--> rust/macros/helpers.rs:85:18
|
85 | _ => continue,
| ^^^^^^^^
|
= help: consider dropping the `continue` expression
= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_continue
= note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::needless-continue`
The examples in the documentation do not show a case like this, either,
so the second "help" line does not help.
In addition, locally disabling the lint is not possible with `expect`,
since the behavior differs across versions. Using `allow` would be
possible, but, even then, an extra line just for this is a bit too much,
especially if there are other ways to satisfy the lint.
Finally, the lint is still in the "pedantic" category and disabled by
default by Clippy.
Thus disable the lint, at least for the time being.
Feedback was submitted to upstream Clippy, in case this can be improved
or perhaps the lint split into several [3].
