ftrace: Have architectures opt-in for mcount build time sorting

2022-01-28T00:15:44+00:00

First S390 complained that the sorting of the mcount sections at build
time caused the kernel to crash on their architecture. Now PowerPC is
complaining about it too. And also ARM64 appears to be having issues.

It may be necessary to also update the relocation table for the values
in the mcount table. Not only do we have to sort the table, but also
update the relocations that may be applied to the items in the table.

If the system is not relocatable, then it is fine to sort, but if it is,
some architectures may have issues (although x86 does not as it shifts all
addresses the same).

Add a HAVE_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that an architecture can set to say it is
safe to do the sorting at build time.

Also update the config to compile in build time sorting in the sorttable
code in scripts/ to depend on CONFIG_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT.

ubsan: remove CONFIG_UBSAN_OBJECT_SIZE

2022-01-20T06:52:55+00:00

The object-size sanitizer is redundant to -Warray-bounds, and
inappropriately performs its checks at run-time when all information
needed for the evaluation is available at compile-time, making it quite
difficult to use:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214861

With -Warray-bounds almost enabled globally, it doesn't make sense to
keep this around.

checkpatch: relax regexp for COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE

2022-01-20T06:52:54+00:00

One exceptions to the COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE rule is a file path followed
by ':'.  That is typically some sort diagnostic message from a compiler
or a build tool, in which case we don't want to wrap the lines but keep
the message unmodified.

The regular expression used to match this pattern currently doesn't
accept absolute paths or + characters.  This can result in false
positives as in the following (out-of-tree) example:

  ...
  /home/jerome/work/optee_repo_qemu/build/../toolchains/aarch32/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: /home/jerome/work/toolchains-gcc10.2/aarch32/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/10.2.1/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.a(eh_alloc.o): in function `__cxa_allocate_exception':

  ...

Update the regular expression to match the above paths.

get_maintainer: don't remind about no git repo when --nogit is used

2022-01-20T06:52:53+00:00

When --nogit is used with scripts/get_maintainer.pl, the script spews 4
lines of unnecessary information (noise).  Do not print those lines when
--nogit is specified.

This change removes the printing of these 4 lines:

  ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl: No supported VCS found.  Add --nogit to options?
  Using a git repository produces better results.
