[ Upstream commit 75b5ab134bb5f657ef7979a59106dce0657e8d87 ]

Clang enables -Wenum-enum-conversion and -Wenum-compare-conditional
under -Wenum-conversion. A recent change in Clang strengthened these
warnings and they appear frequently in common builds, primarily due to
several instances in common headers but there are quite a few drivers
that have individual instances as well.

        |                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

[ Upstream commit af8bbce92044dc58e4cc039ab94ee5d470a621f5 ]

A macro placed at the end of a file with no newline causes an infinite
loop.

[Test Kconfig]
  $(info,hello)
  \ No newline at end of file

I realized that flex-provided input() returns 0 instead of EOF when it
reaches the end of a file.

<title>kbuild: Add -Wa,--fatal-warnings to as-instr invocation</title>

commit 0ee695a471a750cad4fff22286d91e038b1ef62f upstream.

Certain assembler instruction tests may only induce warnings from the
assembler on an unsupported instruction or option, which causes as-instr
to succeed when it was expected to fail. Some tests workaround this
limitation by additionally testing that invalid input fails as expected.
However, this is fragile if the assembler is changed to accept the
invalid input, as it will cause the instruction/option to be unavailable
like it was unsupported even when it is.

Use '-Wa,--fatal-warnings' in the as-instr macro to turn these warnings
into hard errors, which avoids this fragility and makes tests more
robust and well formed.

The bpf_doc script refers to the GPL as the "GNU Privacy License".
I strongly suspect that the author wanted to refer to the GNU General

This patch corrects the license name in the script accordingly.

commit 397586506c3da005b9333ce5947ad01e8018a3be upstream.

After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a
segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost:
unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a
warning:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown)
  WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references
  section ".ltext" which is not in the list of
  authorized sections.  If you're adding a new section
  and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the
  list of authorized sections to jump to on fault.
  This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to
  OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c.

The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and
'.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large',
which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text'
and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

Commit 90ceddcb4950 ("bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF")
changed the ELF type of .btf.vmlinux.bin.o to ET_REL via dd, which works
fine for little endian platforms:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  03 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|
  +00000010  01 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|

However, for big endian platforms, it changes the wrong byte, resulting
in an invalid ELF file type, which ld.lld rejects:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|

  Type:                              &lt;unknown&gt;: 103

  ld.lld: error: .btf.vmlinux.bin.o: unknown file type

Fix this by updating the entire 16-bit e_type field rather than just a
single byte, so that everything works correctly for all platforms and
linkers.

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|

While in the area, update the comment to mention that binutils 2.35+
matches LLD's behavior of rejecting an ET_EXEC input, which occurred
after the comment was added.

<title>kallsyms: ignore ARMv4 thunks along with others</title>

[ Upstream commit a951884d82886d8453d489f84f20ac168d062b38 ]

lld is now able to build ARMv4 and ARMv4T kernels, which means it can
generate thunks for those (__ARMv4PILongThunk_*, __ARMv4PILongBXThunk_*)
that can interfere with kallsyms table generation since they do not get
ignore like the corresponding ARMv5+ ones are:

Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround

Replace the hardcoded list of thunk symbols with a more general regex that
covers this one along with future symbols that follow the same pattern.

Fixes: 5eb6e280432d ("ARM: 9289/1: Allow pre-ARMv5 builds with ld.lld 16.0.0 and newer")
Fixes: efe6e3068067 ("kallsyms: fix nonconverging kallsyms table with lld")

[ Upstream commit 5d9a16b2a4d9e8fa028892ded43f6501bc2969e5 ]

get_line() does not trim the leading spaces, but the
parse_source_files() expects to get lines with source files paths where
the first space occurs after the file path.

<title>scripts/get_abi: fix source path leak</title>

commit 5889d6ede53bc17252f79c142387e007224aa554 upstream.

The code currently leaks the absolute path of the ABI files into the
rendered documentation.

There exists code to prevent this, but it is not effective when an
absolute path is passed, which it is when $srctree is used.

I consider this to be a minimal, stop-gap fix; a better fix would strip
off the actual prefix instead of hacking it off with a regex.
