When KCSAN and CONSTRUCTORS are enabled, one can trigger the

  "Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!"

catch-all warning.

Usually, when objtool runs on the .o objects, it does generate a section
.return_sites which contains all offsets in the objects to the return
thunks of the functions present there. Those return thunks then get
patched at runtime by the alternatives.

KCSAN and CONSTRUCTORS add this to the object file's .text.startup
section:

  -------------------
  Disassembly of section .text.startup:

  ...

  0000000000000010 &lt;_sub_I_00099_0&gt;:
    10:   f3 0f 1e fa             endbr64
    14:   e8 00 00 00 00          call   19 &lt;_sub_I_00099_0+0x9&gt;
                          15: R_X86_64_PLT32      __tsan_init-0x4
    19:   e9 00 00 00 00          jmp    1e &lt;__UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cryptd_alloc_aead349+0x6&gt;

  -------------------

which, if it is built as a module goes through the intermediary stage of
creating a &lt;module&gt;.mod.c file which, when translated, receives a second
constructor:

  -------------------
  Disassembly of section .text.startup:

  0000000000000010 &lt;_sub_I_00099_0&gt;:
    10:   f3 0f 1e fa             endbr64

    30:   f3 0f 1e fa             endbr64

  -------------------

in the .ko file.

Objtool has run already so that second constructor's return thunk cannot
be added to the .return_sites section and thus the return thunk remains
unpatched and the warning rightfully fires.

Drop KCSAN flags from the mod.c generation stage as those constructors
do not contain data races one would be interested about.

<title>kbuild: make -Woverride-init warnings more consistent</title>

<id>c40845e3195d074b34f8f8e400e28c9403a06588</id>
<content type='text'>
The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.

Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.

There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.

Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and
'.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation
fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler().

find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL
if a better one is not found.

This fixes the reported segmentation fault.

<title>kconfig: do not reparent the menu inside a choice block</title>

The boolean 'choice' is used to list exclusively selected config
options.

You must not add a dependency between choice members, because such a
dependency would create an invisible entry.

In the following test case, it is impossible to choose 'C'.

[Test Case 1]

  choice
          prompt "Choose one, but how to choose C?"

  config A
          bool "A"

  config B
          bool "B"

  config C
          bool "C"
          depends on A

  endchoice

Hence, Kconfig shows the following error message:

  Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
  Kconfig:1:      choice &lt;choice&gt; contains symbol C
  Kconfig:10:     symbol C is part of choice A
  Kconfig:4:      symbol A is part of choice &lt;choice&gt;
  For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst
  subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations"

However, Kconfig does not report anything for the following similar code:

[Test Case 2]

  choice
         prompt "Choose one, but how to choose B?"

  config A
          bool "A"

  config B
          bool "B"
          depends on A

  config C
          bool "C"

  endchoice

This is because menu_finalize() reparents the menu tree when an entry
depends on the preceding one.

With reparenting, the menu tree:

  choice
   |- A
   |- B
   \- C

... will be transformed into the following structure:

  choice
   |- A
   |  \- B
   \- C

Consequently, Kconfig considers only 'A' and 'C' as choice members.
This behavior is awkward. The second test case should be an error too.

This commit stops reparenting inside a choice.

We've added 17 non-merge commits during the last 12 day(s) which contain
a total of 19 files changed, 184 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Fix an arm64 BPF JIT bug in BPF_LDX_MEMSX implementation's offset handling
   found via test_bpf module, from Puranjay Mohan.

2) Various fixups to the BPF arena code in particular in the BPF verifier and
   around BPF selftests to match latest corresponding LLVM implementation,
   from Puranjay Mohan and Alexei Starovoitov.

3) Fix xsk to not assume that metadata is always requested in TX completion,
   from Stanislav Fomichev.

4) Fix riscv BPF JIT's kfunc parameter incompatibility between BPF and the riscv
   ABI which requires sign-extension on int/uint, from Pu Lehui.

5) Fix s390x BPF JIT's bpf_plt pointer arithmetic which triggered a crash when
   testing struct_ops, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

6) Fix libbpf's arena mmap handling which had incorrect u64-to-pointer cast on
   32-bit architectures, from Andrii Nakryiko.

7) Fix libbpf to define MFD_CLOEXEC when not available, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

8) Fix arm64 BPF JIT implementation for 32bit unconditional bswap which
   resulted in an incorrect swap as indicated by test_bpf, from Artem Savkov.

9) Fix BPF man page build script to use silent mode, from Hangbin Liu.
