[ Upstream commit 523f3dbc187a9618d4fd80c2b438e4d490705dcd ]

Contrary to expectations, passing a single candidate tag to "git
describe" is slower than not passing any --match options.

  $ time git describe --debug
  ...
  traversed 10619 commits
  ...
  v6.12-rc5-63-g0fc810ae3ae1

  real    0m0.169s

  $ time git describe --match=v6.12-rc5 --debug
  ...
  traversed 1310024 commits
  v6.12-rc5-63-g0fc810ae3ae1

  real    0m1.281s

In fact, the --debug output shows that git traverses all or most of
history. For some repositories and/or git versions, those 1.3s are
actually 10-15 seconds.

This has been acknowledged as a performance bug in git [1], and a fix
is on its way [2]. However, no solution is yet in git.git, and even
when one lands, it will take quite a while before it finds its way to
a release and for $random_kernel_developer to pick that up.

So rewrite the logic to use plumbing commands. For each of the
candidate values of $tag, we ask: (1) is $tag even an annotated
tag? (2) Is it eligible to describe HEAD, i.e. an ancestor of
HEAD? (3) If so, how many commits are in $tag..HEAD?

I have tested that this produces the same output as the current script
for ~700 random commits between v6.9..v6.10. For those 700 commits,
and in my git repo, the 'make -s kernelrelease' command is on average
~4 times faster with this patch applied (geometric mean of ratios).

For the commit mentioned in Josh's original report [3], the
time-consuming part of setlocalversion goes from

$ time git describe --match=v6.12-rc5 c1e939a21eb1
v6.12-rc5-44-gc1e939a21eb1

$ time git rev-list --count --left-right v6.12-rc5..c1e939a21eb1

<title>rust: enable arbitrary_self_types and remove `Receiver`</title>

commit c95bbb59a9b22f9b838b15d28319185c1c884329 upstream.

The term "receiver" means that a type can be used as the type of `self`,
and thus enables method call syntax `foo.bar()` instead of
`Foo::bar(foo)`. Stable Rust as of today (1.81) enables a limited
selection of types (primitives and types in std, e.g. `Box` and `Arc`)
to be used as receivers, while custom types cannot.

We want the kernel `Arc` type to have the same functionality as the Rust
std `Arc`, so we use the `Receiver` trait (gated behind `receiver_trait`
unstable feature) to gain the functionality.

The `arbitrary_self_types` RFC [1] (tracking issue [2]) is accepted and
it will allow all types that implement a new `Receiver` trait (different
from today's unstable trait) to be used as receivers. This trait will be
automatically implemented for all `Deref` types, which include our `Arc`
type, so we no longer have to opt-in to be used as receiver. To prepare
us for the change, remove the `Receiver` implementation and the
associated feature. To still allow `Arc` and others to be used as method
receivers, turn on `arbitrary_self_types` feature instead.

This feature gate is introduced in 1.23.0. It used to enable both
`Deref` types and raw pointer types to be used as receivers, but the
latter is now split into a different feature gate in Rust 1.83 nightly.
We do not need receivers on raw pointers so this change would not affect
us and usage of `arbitrary_self_types` feature would work for all Rust
versions that we support (&gt;=1.78).

commit 7912405643a14b527cd4a4f33c1d4392da900888 upstream.

The compiler can fully inline the actual handler function of an interrupt
entry into the .irqentry.text entry point. If such a function contains an
access which has an exception table entry, modpost complains about a
section mismatch:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x447c): Section mismatch in reference ...

  The relocation at __ex_table+0x447c references section ".irqentry.text"
  which is not in the list of authorized sections.

Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS to cure the issue.

[ Upstream commit 0c3e091319e4748cb36ac9a50848903dc6f54054 ]

This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:

 - ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
 - 6543becf26ff ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

Commit ac551828993e inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():

    else
            strcat(alias, "*");

This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.

Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:

    MODULE_ALIAS("*");

This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.

Commit ac551828993e introduced another bug.            

Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:

    if (eisa-&gt;sig[0])

This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.

However, commit ac551828993e changed it as follows:

    if (sig[0])

sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.

The correct conversion would have been:

    if ((*sig)[0])

However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.

This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

Kernels built without CONFIG_MODULES might still want to create -dbg deb

exists. This obviously isn't true if no modules were built, so we should

[ Upstream commit 2f07b652384969f5d0b317e1daa5f2eb967bc73d ]

Do not require the presence of `$balanced_parens` to get the commit SHA;
this allows a `Fixes: deadbeef` tag to get a correct suggestion rather
than a suggestion containing a reference to HEAD.

Given this patch:

Before:

WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: &lt;12 chars of sha1&gt; ("&lt;title line&gt;")' - ie: 'Fixes: c10a7d25e68f ("Test patch")'

The prior behavior incorrectly suggested the patch's own SHA and title

Do not require the presence of `$balanced_parens` to get the commit SHA;
this allows a `Fixes: deadbeef` tag to get a correct suggestion rather
than a suggestion containing a reference to HEAD.

Given this patch:

: From: Tamir Duberstein &lt;tamird@gmail.com&gt;
: Subject: Test patch
: Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2024 19:30:51 -0400

: +Test.

Before:

WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: &lt;12 chars of sha1&gt; ("&lt;title line&gt;")' - ie: 'Fixes: c10a7d25e68f ("Test patch")'

After:

WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: &lt;12 chars of sha1&gt; ("&lt;title line&gt;")' - ie: 'Fixes: bd17e036b495 ("checkpatch: warn for non-standard fixes tag style")'

The prior behavior incorrectly suggested the patch's own SHA and title
line rather than the referenced commit's.  This fixes that.

[ Upstream commit bb8fd09e2811e2386bb40b9f0d3c7dd6e7961a1e ]

output_function_rst() does not handle object-like macros. It presents
a trailing "()" while output_function_man() handles these macros
correctly.

Update output_function_rst() to handle object-like macros.
Don't show the "Parameters" heading if there are no parameters.

For output_function_man(), don't show the "ARGUMENTS" heading if there
are no parameters.

I have tested this quite a bit with my ad hoc test files for both ReST
and man format outputs. The generated output looks good.

[ Upstream commit be9264110e4e874622d588a75daf930539fdf6ea ]

The section counter tracks how many sections of kernel-doc were added.
The only real use of the counter value is to check if anything was
actually supposed to be output and give a warning is nothing is
available.

The current logic of remembering the initial value and then resetting
the value then when processing each file means that if a file has the
same number of sections as the previously processed one, a warning is
incorrectly given.

<title>Revert "scripts/faddr2line: Check only two symbols when calculating symbol size"</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 56ac7bd2c58a4e93d19f0ccb181035d075b315d3 ]

This reverts commit c02904f05ff805d6c0631634d5751ebd338f75ec.

Such commit assumed that only two symbols are relevant for the symbol
size calculation. However, this can lead to an incorrect symbol size
calculation when there are mapping symbols emitted by readelf.

For instance, when feeding 'update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4', faddr2line
might need to process the following readelf lines:

 784284: ffffffc0081cca30   428 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT     2 update_irq_load_avg
  87319: ffffffc0081ccb0c     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62522
  87321: ffffffc0081ccbdc     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62524
  87323: ffffffc0081ccbe0     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62526
  87325: ffffffc0081ccbe4     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62528
  87327: ffffffc0081ccbe8     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62530
  87329: ffffffc0081ccbec     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62532
  87331: ffffffc0081ccbf0     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62534
  87332: ffffffc0081ccbf4     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT     2 $x.62535
 783403: ffffffc0081ccbf4   424 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT     2 sched_pelt_multiplier

The symbol size of 'update_irq_load_avg' should be calculated with the
address of 'sched_pelt_multiplier', after skipping the mapping symbols
seen in between. However, the offending commit cuts the list short and
faddr2line incorrectly assumes 'update_irq_load_avg' is the last symbol
in the section, resulting in:

  $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
  skipping update_irq_load_avg address at 0xffffffc0081cca4c due to size mismatch (0x1c4 != 0x3ff9a59988)
  no match for update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4

After reverting the commit the issue is resolved:

  $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4
  update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4:
  cpu_of at kernel/sched/sched.h:1109
