Somehow, there remains a link to gmane.org, which stopped working
in 2016, in howto.rst. Replace it with the one at lore.kernel.org.
Do the same changes under translations/ as well.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds.

  rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2
  make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2

The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private'
keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82.

GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is
disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make
version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81.

GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
  various hardening features (details noted below).

  The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
  overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
  on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
  buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
  time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
  years (e.g. BleedingTooth).

  This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
  positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
  reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
  All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
  either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.

  The commit message in commit 54d9469bc515 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
  for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
  I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
  actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
  and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
  finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.

  Summary:

  Various fixes across several hardening areas:

   - loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).

   - zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill
     Wendling).

   - CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van
     Assche).

   - Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes
     (Sami Tolvanen, Kees Cook).

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
  various hardening features (details noted below).

  The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
  overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
  on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
  buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
  time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
  years (e.g. BleedingTooth).

  This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
  positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
  reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
  All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
  either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.

  The commit message in commit 54d9469bc515 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
  for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
  I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
  actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
  and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
  finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.

  Summary:

  Various fixes across several hardening areas:

   - loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).

   - zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill
     Wendling).

   - CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van
     Assche).

   - Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes
     (Sami Tolvanen, Kees Cook).

   - fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.

  Improvements to existing features:

   - testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
     add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).

   - overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.

  New features:

   - string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
     strncpy() replacement needs.

   - um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.

Pull Rust introductory support from Kees Cook:
 "The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next
  for a year and a half[1]. It's been updated based on feedback from the
  Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags.

  Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted.
  Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing
  practice once this initial infrastructure series lands.

  The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the
  kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1
  GPU[5]) on the way.

  The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:

   - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)

   - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)

   - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build

   - Rust kernel documentation and samples

  Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
  short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have
  contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream
  Rust side to support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people,

<title>coding-style.rst: document BUG() and WARN() rules ("do not crash the kernel")</title>

Linus notes [1] that the introduction of new code that uses VM_BUG_ON()
is just as bad as BUG_ON(), because it will crash the kernel on
distributions that enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (like Fedora):

    VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
    no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
    because these are less important". [2]

This resulted in a more generic discussion about usage of BUG() and
friends. While there might be corner cases that still deserve a BUG_ON(),
most BUG_ON() cases should simply use WARN_ON_ONCE() and implement a
recovery path if reasonable:

    The only possible case where BUG_ON can validly be used is "I have
    some fundamental data corruption and cannot possibly return an
    error". [2]

As a very good approximation is the general rule:

    "absolutely no new BUG_ON() calls _ever_" [2]

... not even if something really shouldn't ever happen and is merely for
documenting that an invariant always has to hold. However, there are sill
exceptions where BUG_ON() may be used:

    If you have a "this is major internal corruption, there's no way we can
    continue", then BUG_ON() is appropriate. [3]

There is only one good BUG_ON():

    Now, that said, there is one very valid sub-form of BUG_ON():
    BUILD_BUG_ON() is absolutely 100% fine. [2]

While WARN will also crash the machine with panic_on_warn set, that's
exactly to be expected:

    So we have two very different cases: the "virtual machine with good
    logging where a dead machine is fine" - use 'panic_on_warn'. And
    the actual real hardware with real drivers, running real loads by
    users. [4]

The basic idea is that warnings will similarly get reported by users
and be found during testing. However, in contrast to a BUG(), there is a
way to actually influence the expected behavior (e.g., panic_on_warn)
and to eventually keep the machine alive to extract some debug info.

Ingo notes that not all WARN_ON_ONCE cases need recovery. If we don't ever
expect this code to trigger in any case, recovery code is not really
helpful.

    I'd prefer to keep all these warnings 'simple' - i.e. no attempted
    recovery &amp; control flow, unless we ever expect these to trigger.
    [5]

There have been different rules floating around that were never properly
documented. Let's try to clarify.

The Code of Conduct interpretation does not reflect the current
practices of the CoC committee or the TAB. Update the documentation
to remove references to initial committees and boot strap periods
since it is past that time, and note that the this document
does serve as the documentation for the CoC committee processes.
