New pahole (version 1.24) generates by default new BTF_KIND_ENUM64 BTF tag,
which is not supported by stable kernel.

As a result the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF option will fail to
compile with following error:

  BTFIDS  vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: Invalid argument

New pahole provides --skip_encoding_btf_enum64 option to skip BTF_KIND_ENUM64
generation and produce BTF supported by stable kernel.

Adding this option to scripts/pahole-flags.sh.

This change does not have equivalent commit in linus tree, because linus tree
has support for BTF_KIND_ENUM64 tag, so it does not need to be disabled.

<title>kbuild: remove the target in signal traps when interrupted</title>

[ Upstream commit a7f3257da8a86b96fb9bf1bba40ae0bbd7f1885a ]

When receiving some signal, GNU Make automatically deletes the target if
it has already been changed by the interrupted recipe.

If the target is possibly incomplete due to interruption, it must be
deleted so that it will be remade from scratch on the next run of make.
Otherwise, the target would remain corrupted permanently because its
timestamp had already been updated.

Thanks to this behavior of Make, you can stop the build any time by
pressing Ctrl-C, and just run 'make' to resume it.

Kbuild also relies on this feature, but it is equivalently important
for any build systems that make decisions based on timestamps (if you
want to support Ctrl-C reliably).

However, this does not always work as claimed; Make immediately dies
with Ctrl-C if its stderr goes into a pipe.

  [Test Makefile]

    foo:
            echo hello &gt; $@
            sleep 3
            echo world &gt;&gt; $@

  [Test Result]

    $ make                         # hit Ctrl-C
    echo hello &gt; foo
    sleep 3
    ^Cmake: *** Deleting file 'foo'
    make: *** [Makefile:3: foo] Interrupt

    $ make 2&gt;&amp;1 | cat              # hit Ctrl-C
    echo hello &gt; foo
    sleep 3
    ^C$                            # 'foo' is often left-over

The reason is because SIGINT is sent to the entire process group.
In this example, SIGINT kills 'cat', and 'make' writes the message to
the closed pipe, then dies with SIGPIPE before cleaning the target.

A typical bad scenario (as reported by [1], [2]) is to save build log
by using the 'tee' command:

    $ make 2&gt;&amp;1 | tee log

This can be problematic for any build systems based on Make, so I hope
it will be fixed in GNU Make. The maintainer of GNU Make stated this is
a long-standing issue and difficult to fix [3]. It has not been fixed
yet as of writing.

So, we cannot rely on Make cleaning the target. We can do it by
ourselves, in signal traps.

As far as I understand, Make takes care of SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and
SITERM for the target removal. I added the traps for them, and also for
SIGPIPE just in case cmd_* rule prints something to stdout or stderr
(but I did not observe an actual case where SIGPIPE was triggered).

[Note 1]

The trap handler might be worth explaining.

    rm -f $@; trap - $(sig); kill -s $(sig) $$

This lets the shell kill itself by the signal it caught, so the parent
process can tell the child has exited on the signal. Generally, this is
a proper manner for handling signals, in case the calling program (like
Bash) may monitor WIFSIGNALED() and WTERMSIG() for WCE although this may
not be a big deal here because GNU Make handles SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT
in WUE and SIGTERM in IUE.

  IUE - Immediate Unconditional Exit
  WUE - Wait and Unconditional Exit
  WCE - Wait and Cooperative Exit

For details, see "Proper handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT" [4].

[Note 2]

Reverting 392885ee82d3 ("kbuild: let fixdep directly write to .*.cmd
files") would directly address [1], but it only saves if_changed_dep.
As reported in [2], all commands that use redirection can potentially
leave an empty (i.e. broken) target.

[Note 3]

Another (even safer) approach might be to always write to a temporary
file, and rename it to $@ at the end of the recipe.

   &lt;command&gt;  &gt; $(tmp-target)
   mv $(tmp-target) $@

It would require a lot of Makefile changes, and result in ugly code,
so I did not take it.

[Note 4]

A little more thoughts about a pattern rule with multiple targets (or
a grouped target).

    %.x %.y: %.z
            &lt;recipe&gt;

When interrupted, GNU Make deletes both %.x and %.y, while this solution
only deletes $@. Probably, this is not a big deal. The next run of make
will execute the rule again to create $@ along with the other files.

commit 2120635108b35ecad9c59c8b44f6cbdf4f98214e upstream.

We enable -Wcast-function-type globally in the kernel to warn about
mismatching types in function pointer casts. Compilers currently
warn only about ABI incompability with this flag, but Clang 16 will
enable a stricter version of the check by default that checks for an
exact type match. This will be very noisy in the kernel, so disable
-Wcast-function-type-strict without W=1 until the new warnings have
been addressed.

[ Upstream commit 32ef9e5054ec0321b9336058c58ec749e9c6b0fe ]

Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:

commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")

In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined

[ Upstream commit 32ef9e5054ec0321b9336058c58ec749e9c6b0fe ]

Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:

commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")

In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in

[ Upstream commit 61f2b7c7497ba96cdde5bbaeb9e07f4c48f41f97 ]

Dmitrii, Fangrui, and Mashahiro note:

  Before GCC 11 and Clang 12 -gsplit-dwarf implicitly uses -g2.

Fix CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT for gcc-11+ &amp; clang-12+ which now need -g
specified in order for -gsplit-dwarf to work at all.

-gsplit-dwarf has been mutually exclusive with -g since support for
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT was introduced in
commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4")
I don't think it ever needed to be.

When passed -print-file-name=plugin, the dummy gcc script creates a
temporary directory that is never cleaned up. To avoid cluttering
$TMPDIR, instead use a static directory included in the source tree.

<title>modules: Ensure natural alignment for .altinstructions and __bug_table sections</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 87c482bdfa79f378297d92af49cdf265be199df5 ]

In the kernel image vmlinux.lds.S linker scripts the .altinstructions
and __bug_table sections are 4- or 8-byte aligned because they hold 32-
and/or 64-bit values.

Most architectures use altinstructions and BUG() or WARN() in modules as
well, but in the module linker script (module.lds.S) those sections are
currently missing. As consequence the linker will store their content
byte-aligned by default, which then can lead to unnecessary unaligned
memory accesses by the CPU when those tables are processed at runtime.

Usually unaligned memory accesses are unnoticed, because either the
hardware (as on x86 CPUs) or in-kernel exception handlers (e.g. on
parisc or sparc) emulate and fix them up at runtime. Nevertheless, such
unaligned accesses introduce a performance penalty and can even crash
the kernel if there is a bug in the unalignment exception handlers
(which happened once to me on the parisc architecture and which is why I
noticed that issue at all).

This patch fixes a non-critical issue and might be backported at any time.
It's trivial and shouldn't introduce any regression because it simply
tells the linker to use a different (8-byte alignment) for those
sections by default.

<title>gcc-plugins: Undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN when plugin disabled for a file</title>

<id>5ba9bafa2ce0bfd626e35763a44631e3e528e92f</id>

commit 012e8d2034f1bda8863435cd589636e618d6a659 upstream.

Commit 36d4b36b6959 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.

This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.

This leads to the following:
