The extra-y syntax is deprecated. Instead, use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN),
which behaves equivalently.

<content type='text'>
This is the preparative patch for kexec_file_load Image support.

It separates the elf_kexec_load() as two parts:
- the first part loads the vmlinux (or Image)
- the second part loads other segments (e.g. initrd,fdt,purgatory)

And the second part is exported as the load_extra_segments() function
which would be used in both kexec-elf.c and kexec-image.c.

No functional change intended.

<title>Fix mis-uses of 'cc-option' for warning disablement</title>

<id>a79be02bba5c31f967885c7f3bf3a756d77d11d9</id>
<content type='text'>
This was triggered by one of my mis-uses causing odd build warnings on
sparc in linux-next, but while figuring out why the "obviously correct"
use of cc-option caused such odd breakage, I found eight other cases of
the same thing in the tree.

The root cause is that 'cc-option' doesn't work for checking negative
warning options (ie things like '-Wno-stringop-overflow') because gcc
will silently accept options it doesn't recognize, and so 'cc-option'
ends up thinking they are perfectly fine.

And it all works, until you have a situation where _another_ warning is
emitted.  At that point the compiler will go "Hmm, maybe the user
intended to disable this warning but used that wrong option that I
didn't recognize", and generate a warning for the unrecognized negative
option.

Which explains why we have several cases of this in the tree: the
'cc-option' test really doesn't work for this situation, but most of the
time it simply doesn't matter that ity doesn't work.

The reason my recently added case caused problems on sparc was pointed
out by Thomas Weißschuh: the sparc build had a previous explicit warning
that then triggered the new one.

I think the best fix for this would be to make 'cc-option' a bit smarter
about this sitation, possibly by adding an intentional warning to the
test case that then triggers the unrecognized option warning reliably.

But the short-term fix is to replace 'cc-option' with an existing helper
designed for this exact case: 'cc-disable-warning', which picks the
negative warning but uses the positive form for testing the compiler
support.

Charlie Jenkins &lt;charlie@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

xtheadvector is a custom extension that is based upon riscv vector
version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector routines have been modified to
support this alternative vector version based upon whether xtheadvector
was determined to be supported at boot.

vlenb is not supported on the existing xtheadvector hardware, so a
devicetree property thead,vlenb is added to provide the vlenb to Linux.

There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is
used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the
current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys
for their vendor.

Support for xtheadvector is also added to the vector kselftests.

Follow the patterns of the other architectures that use
GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES for riscv to introduce the ghostwrite
vulnerability and mitigation. The mitigation is to disable all vector
which is accomplished by clearing the bit from the cpufeature field.

Ghostwrite only affects thead c9xx CPUs that impelment xtheadvector, so
the vulerability will only be mitigated on these CPUs.

Early code designates the code executed when the MMU is not yet enabled,
and this comes with some limitations (see
Documentation/arch/riscv/boot.rst, section "Pre-MMU execution").

FORTIFY_SOURCE must be disabled then since it can trigger kernel panics
as reported in [1].
