commit b86729109c5fd0a480300f40608aac68764b5adf upstream.

GCC 8 changed the order of some fields and is very picky about ordering
in static initializers, so instead just move to dynamic initializers,
and drop the redundant already-zero field assignments.

<title>kconfig: fix line numbers for if-entries in menu tree</title>

[ Upstream commit b2d00d7c61c84edd150310af3f556f8a3c6e2e67 ]

The line numers for if-entries in the menu tree are off by one or more
lines which is confusing when debugging for correctness of unrelated changes.

According to the git log, commit a02f0570ae201c49 (kconfig: improve
error handling in the parser) was the last one that changed that part
of the parser and replaced

	"if_entry: T_IF expr T_EOL"
by
	"if_entry: T_IF expr nl"

but the commit message does not state why this has been done.

When reverting that part of the commit, only the line numers are
corrected (checked with cdebug = DEBUG_PARSE in zconf.y), otherwise
the menu tree remains unchanged (checked with zconfdump() enabled in
conf.c).

An example for the corrected line numbers:

drivers/soc/Kconfig:15:source drivers/soc/tegra/Kconfig
drivers/soc/tegra/Kconfig:4:if
drivers/soc/tegra/Kconfig:6:if

changes to:

drivers/soc/Kconfig:15:source drivers/soc/tegra/Kconfig

commit 934193a654c1f4d0643ddbf4b2529b508cae926e upstream.

Verify that 'depmod' ($DEPMOD) is installed.
This is a partial revert of commit 620c231c7a7f
("kbuild: do not check for ancient modutils tools").

Also update Documentation/process/changes.rst to refer to
kmod instead of module-init-tools.

<title>Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make</title>

commit 9564a8cf422d7b58f6e857e3546d346fa970191e upstream.

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with

orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
  if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &amp;nr_sections)) {

Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.

Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:

  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
    Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
    no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
    thus a call such as:
      foo := $(shell echo '#')
    is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
      foo := $(shell echo '\#')
    Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
    portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
      C := \#
      foo := $(shell echo '$C')
    This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
    To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

[ Upstream commit 825d487583089f9a33d31650c9c41f6474aab7fc ]

Some filesystems have timestamps with coarse precision that may allow
for a recently built object file to have the same timestamp as the
updated time on one of its dependency files. When that happens, the
object file doesn't get rebuilt as it should.

This is especially the case on filesystems that don't have sub-second
time precision, such as ext3 or Ext4 with 128B inodes.

Let's prevent that by making sure updated dependency files have a newer
timestamp than the first file we created (i.e. autoksyms.h.tmpnew).

[ Upstream commit 825d487583089f9a33d31650c9c41f6474aab7fc ]

Some filesystems have timestamps with coarse precision that may allow
for a recently built object file to have the same timestamp as the
updated time on one of its dependency files. When that happens, the
object file doesn't get rebuilt as it should.

This is especially the case on filesystems that don't have sub-second
time precision, such as ext3 or Ext4 with 128B inodes.

Let's prevent that by making sure updated dependency files have a newer
timestamp than the first file we created (i.e. autoksyms.h.tmpnew).

[ Upstream commit 5b1374b3b3c2fc4f63a398adfa446fb8eff791a4 ]

Only the E_NOT operand and not the E_NOT node itself was freed, due to
accidentally returning too early in expr_free(). Outline of leak:

	switch (e-&gt;type) {
	...
	case E_NOT:
		expr_free(e-&gt;left.expr);
		return;
	...
	}
	*Never reached, 'e' leaked*
	free(e);

Fix by changing the 'return' to a 'break'.

Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix:

	LEAK SUMMARY:
	   definitely lost: 44,448 bytes in 1,852 blocks
	   ...

Summary after the fix:

	LEAK SUMMARY:
	   definitely lost: 1,608 bytes in 67 blocks
	   ...

[ Upstream commit ae7440ef0c8013d68c00dad6900e7cce5311bb1c ]

expr_trans_compare() always allocates and returns a new expression,
giving the following leak outline:

	...
	*Allocate*
	basedep = expr_trans_compare(basedep, E_UNEQUAL, &amp;symbol_no);
	...
	for (menu = parent-&gt;next; menu; menu = menu-&gt;next) {
		...
		*Copy*
		dep2 = expr_copy(basedep);
		...
		*Free copy*
		expr_free(dep2);
	}
	*basedep lost!*

Fix by freeing 'basedep' after the loop.

Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix:

	LEAK SUMMARY:
	   definitely lost: 344,376 bytes in 14,349 blocks
	   ...
