scripts/dtc: Remove unused dts_version in dtc-lexer.l

2026-04-27T13:30:17+00:00

This patch is for stable only. Commit 5a09df20872c ("scripts/dtc: Update
to upstream version v1.7.2-69-g53373d135579") upstream applied it as
part of a regular scripts/dtc sync, which may be unsuitable for older
versions of stable where the warning it fixes is present.

A recent strengthening of -Wunused-but-set-variable (enabled with -Wall)
in clang under a new subwarning, -Wunused-but-set-global, points out an
unused static global variable in dtc-lexer.lex.c (compiled from
dtc-lexer.l):

  scripts/dtc/dtc-lexer.lex.c:641:12: warning: variable 'dts_version' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-global]
    641 | static int dts_version = 1;
        |            ^

Remove it to clear up the warning, as it is truly unused.

scripts: generate_rust_analyzer.py: define scripts

2026-04-27T13:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 36c619f6bd793493294becb10a02fea370b67a91 ]

Add IDE support for host-side scripts written in Rust. This support has
been missing since these scripts were initially added in commit
9a8ff24ce584 ("scripts: add `generate_rust_target.rs`"), thus add it.

Change the existing instance of extension stripping to
`pathlib.Path.stem` to maintain code consistency.

checkpatch: add support for Assisted-by tag

2026-04-22T11:32:21+00:00

commit d1db4118489fffd2b2f612140b7acbb477880839 upstream.

The Assisted-by tag was introduced in
Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst for attributing AI tool
contributions to kernel patches.  However, checkpatch.pl did not recognize
this tag, causing two issues:

  WARNING: Non-standard signature: Assisted-by:
  ERROR: Unrecognized email address: 'AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION'

Fix this by:
1. Adding Assisted-by to the recognized $signature_tags list
2. Skipping email validation for Assisted-by lines since they use the
   AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION format instead of an email address
3. Warning when the Assisted-by value doesn't match the expected format

scripts/gdb/symbols: handle module path parameters

2026-04-22T11:32:18+00:00

commit 8e4513303b8726e4434f718ab39749cbb4c142b1 upstream.

commit 581ee79a2547 ("scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available
to GDB") added support to make BPF debug information available to GDB.
However, the argument handling loop was slightly broken, causing it to
fail if further modules were passed.  Fix it to append these passed
modules to the instance variable after expansion.

modpost: Declare extra_warn with unused attribute

2026-03-30T05:45:34+00:00

A recent strengthening of -Wunused-but-set-variable (enabled with -Wall)
in clang under a new subwarning, -Wunused-but-set-global, points out an
unused static global variable in scripts/mod/modpost.c:

  scripts/mod/modpost.c:59:13: error: variable 'extra_warn' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global]
     59 | static bool extra_warn;
        |             ^

This variable has been unused since commit 6c6c1fc09de3 ("modpost:
require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()") but that is expected, as there are
currently no extra warnings at W=1 right now. Declare the variable with
the unused attribute to make it clear to the compiler that this variable
may be unused.

kbuild: modules-cpio-pkg: Respect INSTALL_MOD_PATH

2026-03-30T05:38:26+00:00

The modules-cpio-pkg target added in commit 2a9c8c0b59d3 ("kbuild: add
target to build a cpio containing modules") is incompatible with
initramfs with merged /lib and /usr/lib directories [1]. "/lib" cannot
be a link and directory at the same time.
Respect a non-empty INSTALL_MOD_PATH in the modules-cpio-pkg target so
that `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules-cpio-pkg` results in the same
module install location as `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules_install`.

Tested with Fedora distribution initramfs produced by dracut.
