This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0.
The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.
Please see [3] for details.
# Required changes
`rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make
jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please
see the previous commit for details.
# Other changes
Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore
for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case,
this debug information took:
samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size)
rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%)
rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%)
In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:
samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%)
rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%)
rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%)
In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the
`.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus
removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7].
Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6].
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

Patch series "Bump the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1".
This series bumps the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the
kernel to 13.0.1. The first patch does the bump and all subsequent
patches clean up all the various workarounds and checks for earlier
versions.
Quoting the first patch's commit message for those that were only on CC
for the clean ups:
When __builtin_mul_overflow() has arguments that differ in terms of
signedness and width, LLVM may generate a libcall to __muloti4 because
it performs the checks in terms of 65-bit multiplication. This issue
becomes harder to hit (but still possible) after LLVM 12.0.0, which
includes a special case for matching widths but different signs.
To gain access to this special case, which the kernel can take advantage
of when calls to __muloti4 appear, bump the minimum supported version of
LLVM for building the kernel to 13.0.1. 13.0.1 was chosen because there
is minimal impact to distribution support while allowing a few more
workarounds to be dropped in the kernel source than if 12.0.0 were
chosen. Looking at container images of up to date distribution versions:
archlinux:latest clang version 16.0.6
debian:oldoldstable-slim clang version 7.0.1-8+deb10u2 (tags/RELEASE_701/final)

ubuntu:latest Ubuntu clang version 14.0.0-1ubuntu1.1
ubuntu:rolling Ubuntu clang version 16.0.6 (15)
ubuntu:devel Ubuntu clang version 17.0.6 (3)
The only distribution that gets left behind is Debian Bullseye, as the
default version is 11.0.1; other distributions either have a newer
version than 13.0.1 or one older than the current minimum of 11.0.0.
Debian has easy access to more recent LLVM versions through
apt.llvm.org, so this is not as much of a concern. There are also the
kernel.org LLVM toolchains, which should work with distributions with
glibc 2.28 and newer.
Another benefit of slimming up the number of supported versions of LLVM
for building the kernel is reducing the build capacity needed to support
a matrix that builds with each supported version, which allows a matrix
to reallocate the freed up build capacity towards something else, such
as more configuration combinations.
This passes my build matrix with all supported versions.
This is based on Andrew's mm-nonmm-unstable to avoid trivial conflicts
with my series to update the LLVM links across the repository [1] but I
can easily rebase it to linux-kbuild if Masahiro would rather these
patches go through there (and defer the conflict resolution to the merge
window).

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.74.1 to 1.75.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features

The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.
Please see [4] for details.
# Other improvements
Rust 1.75.0 stabilized `pointer_byte_offsets` [5] which we could
potentially use as an alternative for `ptr_metadata` in the future.

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic
links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations
easy to access
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese
... plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes"

Since util-linux commit 13b26e3c36d1
("fdformat: remove command from default build")
the fdformat tool is not built anymore by default.
As a result it is not packaged anymore by distributions and therefore
not usable by users.
Instead mention the "mount" command as more likely to be present
alternative.
Also drop the reference to fdformat from the list of features of new
versions of util-linux.

Therefore, the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the
`kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to
be upstreamed may increase the list (e.g. `offset_of` was added recently).
Please see [3] for details.
# Other improvements
Rust 1.74.0 allows to use `#[repr(Rust)]` explicitly [4], which can be
useful to be explicit about particular cases that would normally use
e.g. the C representation, such as silencing lints like the upcoming
additions we requested [5] to the `no_mangle_with_rust_abi` Clippy lint
(which in turn triggered the `#[repr(Rust)]` addition).
Rust 1.74.0 includes a fix for one of the false negative cases we reported
in Clippy's `disallowed_macros` lint [6] that we would like to use in
the future.
Rust 1.74.1 fixes an ICE that the Apple AGX GPU driver was hitting [7].

Commit 31abfdda6527 (docs: Deprecate use of Sphinx < 2.4.x) in 6.2 added a
warning that support for older versions of Sphinx would be going away.
There have been no complaints, so the time has come. Raise the minimum
Sphinx version to 2.4.4 and clean out some compatibility code that we no
longer need.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.72.1 to 1.73.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.
Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [3] for details.
# Required changes
For the upgrade, the following changes are required:
- Allow `internal_features` for `feature(compiler_builtins)` since
now Rust warns about using internal compiler and standard library
features (similar to how it also warns about incomplete ones) [4].
- A cleanup for a documentation link thanks to a new `rustdoc` lint.
See previous commits for details.
- A need to make an intra-doc link to a macro explicit, due to a
change in behavior in `rustdoc`. See previous commits for details.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |

grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This is the third upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.71.1 to 1.72.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].

# Other improvements
Previously, the compiler could incorrectly generate a `.eh_frame`
section under `-Cpanic=abort`. We were hitting this bug when debug
assertions were enabled (`CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) [4]:
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
ld.lld: error: <internal>:(.eh_frame) is being placed in '.eh_frame'
Gary fixed the issue in Rust 1.72.0 [5].
# Required changes
For the upgrade, the following changes are required:
- A call to `Box::from_raw` in `rust/kernel/sync/arc.rs` now requires
an explicit `drop()` call. See previous patch for details.

In LLVM 16, anonymous items may return names like `(unnamed union at ..)`
rather than empty names [1], which breaks Rust-enabled builds because
bindgen assumed an empty name instead of detecting them via
`clang_Cursor_isAnonymous` [2]:

RUSTC L rust/core.o

This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to
a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16.
Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to
`--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too.
In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate
called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the
Quick Start guide.
Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind
`size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag
to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed
the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen.
Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in
its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust
panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly
generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.

This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).
# Context
The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.
The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".
# Upgrade policy
Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.
Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.
Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit
3519c4d6e08e ("Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version").
# Unstable features stabilized
This upgrade allows us to remove the following unstable features since
they were stabilized:
- `feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)` (1.63).
- `feature(core_ffi_c)` (1.64).
- `feature(generic_associated_types)` (1.65).
- `feature(const_ptr_offset_from)` (1.65, *).
- `feature(bench_black_box)` (1.66, *).
- `feature(pin_macro)` (1.68).
The ones marked with `*` apply only to our old `rust` branch, not
mainline yet, i.e. only for code that we may potentially upstream.
With this patch applied, the only unstable feature allowed to be used
outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [2] for details.
# Other required changes
Since 1.63, `rustdoc` triggers the `broken_intra_doc_links` lint for
links pointing to exported (`#[macro_export]`) `macro_rules`. An issue
was opened upstream [4], but it turns out it is intended behavior. For
the moment, just add an explicit reference for each link. Later we can
revisit this if `rustdoc` removes the compatibility measure.
Nevertheless, this was helpful to discover a link that was pointing to
the wrong place unintentionally. Since that one was actually wrong, it
is fixed in a previous commit independently.
Another change was the addition of `cfg(no_rc)` and `cfg(no_sync)` in
upstream [5], thus remove our original changes for that.
Similarly, upstream now tests that it compiles successfully with
`#[cfg(not(no_global_oom_handling))]` [6], which allow us to get rid
of some changes, such as an `#[allow(dead_code)]`.
In addition, remove another `#[allow(dead_code)]` due to new uses
within the standard library.
Finally, add `try_extend_trusted` and move the code in `spec_extend.rs`
since upstream moved it for the infallible version.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
There are a large amount of changes, but the vast majority of them are
due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer

especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream

Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.
We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.
Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months
before GCC 5.1.
With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
Examples:
arch/arm/Kconfig.assembler
arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
arch/powerpc/Makefile
arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler

GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds.
rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2
make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2
The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private'
keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82.
GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is
disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make
version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81.
GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

Bash 4.4, released in 2016, supports 'wait $!' to check the exit status
of a process substitution, but it seems too new.
Some people using older bash versions (on CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, etc.)
reported an error like this:
./scripts/check-local-export: line 54: wait: pid 17328 is not a child of this shell
I used the process substitution to avoid a pipeline, which executes each
command in a subshell. If the while-loop is executed in the subshell
context, variable changes within are lost after the subshell terminates.
Fortunately, Bash 4.2, released in 2011, supports the 'lastpipe' option,
which makes the last element of a pipeline run in the current shell process.
Switch to the pipeline with 'lastpipe' solution, and also set 'pipefail'
to catch errors from ${NM}.
Add the bash requirement to Documentation/process/changes.rst.

LLVM versions prior to 11.0.0 have a harder time with dead code
elimination, which can cause issues with commonly used expressions such
as BUILD_BUG_ON and the bitmask functions/macros in bitfield.h (see the
first two issues links below).
Whenever there is an issue within LLVM that has been resolved in a later
release, the only course of action is to gate the problematic
configuration or source code on the toolchain verson or raise the
minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel, as LLVM has a
limited support lifetime compared to GCC. GCC major releases will
typically see a few point releases across a two year period on average
whereas LLVM major releases are only supported until the next major
release and will only see one or two point releases within that
timeframe. For example, GCC 8.1 was released in May 2018 and GCC 8.5 was
released in May 2021, whereas LLVM 12.0.0 was released in April 2021 and
its only point release, 12.0.1, was released in July 2021, giving a
minimal window for fixes to be backported.
To resolve these build errors around improper dead code elimination,
raise the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to
11.0.0. Doing so is a more proper solution than mucking around with core
kernel macros that have always worked with GCC or disabling drivers for
using these macros in a proper manner. This type of issue may continue
to crop up and require patching, which creates more debt for bumping the
minimum supported version in the future.
This should have a minimal impact to distributions. Using a script to
pull several different Docker images and check the output of
'clang --version':
archlinux:latest: clang version 13.0.0
debian:oldoldstable-slim: clang version 3.8.1-24 (tags/RELEASE_381/final)
debian:oldstable-slim: clang version 7.0.1-8+deb10u2 (tags/RELEASE_701/final)
debian:stable-slim: Debian clang version 11.0.1-2

fedora:latest: clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0-3.fc35)
fedora:rawhide: clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0-5.fc36)
opensuse/leap:15.2: clang version 9.0.1
opensuse/leap:latest: clang version 11.0.1
opensuse/tumbleweed:latest: clang version 13.0.0
ubuntu:bionic: clang version 6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
ubuntu:latest: clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1

ubuntu:rolling: Ubuntu clang version 13.0.0-2
ubuntu:devel: Ubuntu clang version 13.0.0-9
In every case, the distribution's version of clang is either older than
the current minimum supported version of LLVM 10.0.1 or equal to or
greater than the proposed 11.0.0 so nothing should change.
Another benefit of this change is LLVM=1 works better with arm64 and
x86_64 since commit f12b034afeb3 ("scripts/Makefile.clang: default to
LLVM_IAS=1") enabled the integrated assembler by default, which only
works well with clang 11+ (clang-10 required it to be disabled to
successfully build a kernel).

commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")
Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.
Also, because the macro is type agnostic, it is very difficult to write
a similarly type generic macro that dispatches to one of:
* div64_s64
* div64_u64
* div_s64
* div_u64
Raising the minimum supported versions allows us to remove all of the
fallback helpers for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW, instead
dispatching the compiler builtins.
arm64 has already raised the minimum supported GCC version to 5.1, do
this for all targets now. See the link below for the previous
discussion.

Based on a vote at the LLVM BoF at Plumbers 2020, we decided to start
small, supporting just one formal upstream release of LLVM for now.
We can probably widen the support window of supported versions over
time. Also, note that LLVM's release process is different than GCC's.
GCC tends to have 1 major release per year while releasing minor updates
to the past 3 major versions. LLVM tends to support one major release
and one minor release every six months.

The currently minimum-supported binutils version 2.21 has the problem of
promoting symbols which are defined outside of a section into absolute.
According to Arvind:
binutils-2.21 and -2.22. An x86-64 defconfig will fail with
Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: _etext
and after fixing that one, with
Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: __end_of_kernel_reserve
Those two versions of binutils have a bug when it comes to handling
symbols defined outside of a section and binutils 2.23 has the proper
fix, see: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/binutils/2012-06/msg00155.html
Therefore, up to the fixed version directly, skipping the broken ones.
Currently shipping distros already have the fixed binutils version so
there should be no breakage resulting from this.
For more details about the whole thing, see the thread in Link.

With all isdn4linux hardware drivers gone, this is only a wrapper around
CAPI to support old user space. However, from looking at the mailing
list, it seems that the last time anyone asked about it was in 2014,
when the upgrade from a linux-2.4 installation failed, and mISDN was
suggested as a replacement.
The largest public ISDN network (Deutsche Telekom) was supposed to be
shut down 2018, which must have drastically reduced the number of legacy
installations.
When we last discussed removing i4l in 2016, Karsten Keil suggested
revisiting this in 2018. I guess this is overdue.

Meelis Roos reported a {menu,n}config regression:
"I have libncurses devel package installed in the default system
location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this
case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when
libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but
it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines
where make menuconfig would be possibly run."
For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed.
For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it
for finding the installation paths of the required packages.
Fixes: 4ab3b80159d4 ("kconfig: check for pkg-config on make {menu,n,g,x}config")

Various architectures fail to build properly with older versions of the
gcc compiler.
An example from Guenter Roeck in thread [1]:
>
> In file included from ./include/linux/mm.h:17:0,
> from ./include/linux/pid_namespace.h:7,
> from ./include/linux/ptrace.h:10,
> from arch/openrisc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:32:
> ./include/linux/mm_types.h:497:16: error: flexible array member in otherwise empty struct
>
> This is just an example with gcc 4.5.1 for or32. I have seen the problem
> with gcc 4.4 (for unicore32) as well.
So update the minimum required version of gcc to 4.6.

Miscellanea:
- Update Documentation/process/changes.rst
- Remove and consolidate version test blocks in compiler-gcc.h for
versions lower than 4.6

Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- show clearer error messages where pkg-config is needed, but not
installed
- rename SYMBOL_AUTO to SYMBOL_NO_WRITE to reflect its semantics
- create all necessary directories by Kconfig tool itself instead of
Makefile
- update the .config unconditionally when syncconfig is invoked
- use 'include' directive instead of '-include' where
include/config/{auto,tristate}.conf is mandatory
- do not try to update the .config when running install targets
- add .DELETE_ON_ERROR to delete partially updated files
- misc cleanups and fixes
* tag 'kconfig-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
kconfig: remove P_ENV property type
kconfig: remove unused sym_get_env_prop() function
kconfig: fix the rule of mainmenu_stmt symbol
init/Kconfig: Use short unix-style option instead of --longname
Kbuild: Makefile.modbuiltin: include auto.conf and tristate.conf mandatory
kbuild: remove auto.conf from prerequisite of phony targets
kbuild: do not update config for 'make kernelrelease'
kbuild: do not update config when running install targets
kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target
kbuild: use 'include' directive to load auto.conf from top Makefile
kconfig: allow all config targets to write auto.conf if missing
kconfig: make syncconfig update .config regardless of sym_change_count
kconfig: create directories needed for syncconfig by itself
kconfig: remove unneeded directory generation from local*config
kconfig: split out useful helpers in confdata.c
kconfig: rename file_write_dep and move it to confdata.c
kconfig: fix typos in description of "choice" in kconfig-language.txt
kconfig: handle format string before calling conf_message_callback()
kconfig: rename SYMBOL_AUTO to SYMBOL_NO_WRITE
kconfig: check for pkg-config on make {menu,n,g,x}config
|

Each of 'make {menu,n,g,x}config' uses (needs) pkg-config to make sure
that other required files are present and to determine build flags
settings, but none of these check that pkg-config itself is present.
Add a check for all 4 of these targets and update
Documentation/process/changes.rst to mention 'pkg-config'.
