[ Upstream commit 2c1ccd9a1d786503086e83fe83e5c3b3c953b70e ]

Commit 9edd04c4189e ("docs: Raise minimum pahole version to 1.26 for
KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS kfuncs") raised the minimum required pahole version
from 1.22 to 1.26 in the requirements table and added a paragraph
explaining the failure mode for distributions still shipping pahole
v1.25 (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS).

The next day, commit ece7e57afd51 ("docs: changes.rst and ver_linux:
sort the lists") came through a different tree (docs vs sched_ext) and
re-flowed the table alphabetically, but its base did not include
9edd04c4189e.  When the two commits met in mainline, the textual rewrite
of the table won and the version bump was lost.  The added "Since Linux
7.0..." paragraph also disappeared.

The result is that changes.rst on master (v7.1-rc5) lists pahole 1.22
again, even though sched_ext kfuncs annotated with KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS
genuinely require v1.26 to produce a correct vmlinux BTF.  Users on
distributions with pahole v1.25 hit "func_proto incompatible with
vmlinux" when loading any sched_ext BPF program (scx_simple,
scx_qmap, ...) and have no documentation pointing them at the version
gap.

Restore both changes from 9edd04c4189e.

<title>rust: bump `bindgen` minimum supported version to 0.71.1 (Debian Trixie)</title>

As proposed in the past in e.g. LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1],
we are going to follow Debian Stable's `bindgen` versions as our minimum
supported version.

Debian Trixie was released with `bindgen` 0.71.1, which it still uses
to this day [2].

Debian Trixie's release happened on 2025-08-09 [3], which means that a
fair amount of time has passed since its release for kernel developers
to upgrade.

Thus bump the minimum to the new version.

Then, in later commits, clean up most of the workarounds and other bits
that this upgrade of the minimum allows us.

Ubuntu 25.10 also has a recent enough `bindgen` [4] (even the already
unsupported Ubuntu 25.04 had it), and they also provide versioned packages
with `bindgen` 0.71.1 back to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS [5].

<title>rust: bump Rust minimum supported version to 1.85.0 (Debian Trixie)</title>

As proposed in the past in e.g. LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1],
we are going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
supported version.

Debian Trixie was released with a Rust 1.85.0 toolchain [2], which it
still uses to this day [3] (i.e. no update to Rust 1.85.1).

Debian Trixie's release happened on 2025-08-09 [4], which means that a

to upgrade.

Thus bump the minimum to the new version.

Then, in later commits, clean up most of the workarounds and other bits
that this upgrade of the minimum allows us.

pin-init was left as-is since the patches come from upstream. And the
vendored crates are unmodified, since we do not want to change those.

Note that the minimum LLVM major version for Rust 1.85.0 is LLVM 18 (the
Rust upstream binaries use LLVM 19.1.7), thus e.g. `RUSTC_LLVM_VERSION`
tests can also be updated, but there are no suitable ones to simplify.

Ubuntu 25.10 also has a recent enough Rust toolchain [5], and they also
provide versioned packages with a Rust 1.85.1 toolchain even back to
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS [6].

<title>lib/Kconfig.debug: Set the minimum required pahole version to v1.22</title>

Subsequent patches in the series change vmlinux linking scripts to
unconditionally pass --btf_encode_detached to pahole, which was
introduced in v1.22 [1][2].

This change allows to remove PAHOLE_HAS_SPLIT_BTF Kconfig option and
other checks of older pahole versions.
