[ Upstream commit 2a67a6ccb01f21b854715d86ff6432a18b97adb3 ]

When trying to compile with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled, I got this
error:

    % make -s
    Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
    Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
    make[3]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Compiling again without -s shows the true error (that pahole is
missing), but since this is fatal, we should show the error
unconditionally on stderr as well, not silence it using the `info`
function. With this patch:

    % make -s
    BTF: .tmp_vmlinux.btf: pahole (pahole) is not available
    Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
    Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
    make[3]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

<title>kbuild: use -S instead of -E for precise cc-option test in Kconfig</title>

[ Upstream commit 3bed1b7b9d79ca40e41e3af130931a3225e951a3 ]

Currently, -E (stop after the preprocessing stage) is used to check
whether the given compiler flag is supported.

While it is faster than -S (or -c), it can be false-positive. You need
to run the compilation proper to check the flag more precisely.

For example, -E and -S disagree about the support of
"--param asan-instrument-allocas=1".

$ gcc -Werror --param asan-instrument-allocas=1 -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null
$ echo $?
0

$ gcc -Werror --param asan-instrument-allocas=1 -S -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null
cc1: error: invalid --param name ‘asan-instrument-allocas’; did you mean ‘asan-instrument-writes’?
$ echo $?
1

[ Upstream commit 88fe89a47153facd8cb2d06d5c8727f7224c43c2 ]

Bartosz Golaszewski reports that when "make {menu,n,g,x}config" fails
due to missing packages, a temporary file is left over, which is not
ignored by git.

For example, if GTK+ is not installed:

  $ make gconfig
  *
  * Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that
  * the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed.
  * You need gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0 libglade-2.0
  *
  scripts/kconfig/Makefile:208: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg' failed
  make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg] Error 1
  Makefile:567: recipe for target 'gconfig' failed
  make: *** [gconfig] Error 2
  $ git status
  HEAD detached at v5.4
  Untracked files:
    (use "git add &lt;file&gt;..." to include in what will be committed)

          scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg.tmp

  nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

This is because the check scripts are run with filechk, which misses
to clean up the temporary file on failure.

When the line

  { $(filechk_$(1)); } &gt; $@.tmp;

... fails, it exits immediately due to the 'set -e'. Use trap to make
sure to delete the temporary file on exit.

For extra safety, I replaced $@.tmp with $(dot-target).tmp to make it
a hidden file.

[ Upstream commit c8fb7d7e48d11520ad24808cfce7afb7b9c9f798 ]

Running randconfig on arm64 using KCONFIG_SEED=0x40C5E904 (e.g. on v5.5)
produces the .config with CONFIG_EFI=y and CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN=y,
which does not meet the !CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN dependency.

This is because the user choice for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN vs
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is set by randomize_choice_values() after the
value of CONFIG_EFI is calculated.

When this happens, the has_changed flag should be set.

Currently, it takes the result from the last iteration. It should
accumulate all the results of the loop.

Fixes: 3b9a19e08960 ("kconfig: loop as long as we changed some symbols in randconfig")

commit 1630146db2111412e7524d05d812ff8f2c75977e upstream.

scripts/find-unused-docs.sh invokes scripts/kernel-doc to find out if a
source file contains kerneldoc or not.

However, as it passes the no longer supported "-text" option to
scripts/kernel-doc, the latter prints out its help text, causing all
files to be considered containing kerneldoc.

Get rid of these false positives by removing the no longer supported
"-text" option from the scripts/kernel-doc invocation.

Fix the above problems by allowing only selected reloc types in

script.

The analysis for this problem has been already performed previously,
refer to the link below.

Fix the above problems by allowing only selected reloc types in
__mcount_loc. The list itself comes from the legacy recordmcount.pl
script.

<title>bpf: Force .BTF section start to zero when dumping from vmlinux</title>

commit df786c9b947639aedbc7bb44b5dae2a7824af360 upstream.

While trying to figure out why fentry_fexit selftest doesn't pass for me
(old pahole, broken BTF), I found out that my latest patch can break vmlinux
.BTF generation. objcopy preserves section start when doing --only-section,
so there is a chance (depending on where pahole inserts .BTF section) to
have leading empty zeroes. Let's explicitly force section offset to zero.

Before:

$ objcopy --set-section-flags .BTF=alloc -O binary \
	--only-section=.BTF vmlinux .btf.vmlinux.bin
$ xxd .btf.vmlinux.bin | head -n1
00000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................

After:

$ objcopy --change-section-address .BTF=0 \
	--set-section-flags .BTF=alloc -O binary \
	--only-section=.BTF vmlinux .btf.vmlinux.bin
$ xxd .btf.vmlinux.bin | head -n1
00000000: 9feb 0100 1800 0000 0000 0000 80e1 1c00  ................
          ^BTF magic

As part of this change, I'm also dropping '2&gt;/dev/null' from objcopy
invocation to be able to catch possible other issues (objcopy doesn't
produce any warnings for me anymore, it did before with --dump-section).

[ Upstream commit 8ffdc54b6f4cd718a45802e645bb853e3a46a078 ]

Cross compiling the x86 kernel on a non-x86 build machine produces
the following error when CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is enabled, regardless
of whether libelf-dev is installed or not.

  dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: libelf-dev
  dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
  dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

Since this is a build time dependency for a build tool, we need to
depend on the native version of libelf-dev so add the appropriate
annotation.

commit da5fb18225b49b97bb37c51bcbbb2990a507c364 upstream.

If vmlinux BTF generation fails, but CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set,
.BTF section of vmlinux is empty and kernel will prohibit
BPF loading and return "in-kernel BTF is malformed".

--dump-section argument to binutils' objcopy was added in version 2.25.
When using pre-2.25 binutils, BTF generation silently fails. Convert
to --only-section which is present on pre-2.25 binutils.

Documentation/process/changes.rst states that binutils 2.21+
is supported, not sure those standards apply to BPF subsystem.

v2:
* exit and print an error if gen_btf fails (John Fastabend)

v3:
* resend with Andrii's Acked-by/Tested-by tags
