Support for parsing PC source info in stacktraces (e.g. '(P)') was added
in commit 2bff77c665 ("scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: fix decoding of
lines with an additional info"). However, this logic was placed after the
build ID processing. This incorrect order fails to parse lines containing
both elements, e.g.:
drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x114/0x200 [drm 03d0564e0529947d67bb2008c3548be77279fd27] (P)
This patch fixes the problem by extracting the PC source info first and
then processing the module build ID. With this change, the line above is
now properly parsed as such:
drm_gem_mmap_obj (./include/linux/mmap_lock.h:212 ./include/linux/mm.h:811 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:1177) drm (P)
While here, also add a brief explanation the build ID section.

It is possible to force a specific version of python to be used when
building the kernel by passing PYTHON3= on the make command line.
However kernel-doc.py is currently called with python3 hard-coded and
thus ignores this setting.
Use $(PYTHON3) to run $(KERNELDOC) so that the desired version of
python is used.

After commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"), running modules_install with certain
versions of kmod (such as 29.1 in Ubuntu Jammy) in certain
configurations may fail with:
depmod: ERROR: kmod_builtin_iter_next: unexpected string without modname prefix
The additional padding bytes to ensure .modinfo is aligned within
vmlinux.unstripped are unexpected by kmod, as this section has always
just been null-terminated strings.
Strip the trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo after it
has been extracted from vmlinux.unstripped to restore the format that
kmod expects while keeping .modinfo aligned within vmlinux.unstripped to
avoid regressing the Authenticode calculation fix for EDK2.

After commit 5ab23c7923 ("modpost: Create modalias for builtin

when attempting to strip the module device table symbols:
riscv64-linux-objcopy: not stripping symbol `__mod_device_table__kmod_irq_starfive_jh8100_intc__of__starfive_intc_irqchip_match_table' because it is named in a relocation
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:97: vmlinux] Error 1
The relocation appears to come from .LASANLOC5 in .data.rel.local:
$ llvm-objdump --disassemble-symbols=.LASANLOC5 --disassemble-all -r drivers/irqchip/irq-starfive-jh8100-intc.o

...
This section appears to come from GCC for including additional
information about global variables that may be protected by KASAN.
There appears to be no way to opt out of the generation of these symbols
through either a flag or attribute. Attempting to remove '.LASANLOC*'
with '--strip-symbol' results in the same error as above because these
symbols may refer to (thus have relocation between) each other.
Avoid this build breakage by switching to '--strip-unneeded-symbol' for
removing __mod_device_table__ symbols, as it will only remove the symbol
when there is no relocation pointing to it. While this may result in a
little more bloat in the symbol table in certain configurations, it is
not as bad as outright build failures.

Commit 27758d8c25 ("kbuild: enable -Werror for hostprogs")
unconditionally enabled -Werror for the compiler, assembler, and linker
when building the host programs, as the build footprint of the host
programs is small (thus risk of build failures from warnings are low)
and that stage of the build may not have Kconfig values (thus
CONFIG_WERROR could not be used as a precondition).
While turning warnings into errors unconditionally happens in a few
places within the kernel, it can be disruptive to people who may be
building with newer compilers, such as while doing a bisect. While it is
possible to avoid this behavior by passing HOSTCFLAGS=-w or
HOSTCFLAGS=-Wno-error, it may not be the most intuitive for regular
users not intimately familiar with Kbuild.
Avoid being disruptive to the entire build by depending on the explicit
opt-in of CONFIG_WERROR or W=e to enable -Werror and the like while
building the host programs. While this means there is a small portion of
the build that does not have -Werror enabled (namely scripts/kconfig/*
and scripts/basic/fixdep), it is better than not having it altogether.

The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig"
target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these
symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values
from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target
explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed.
The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional
symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with
SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these
symbols unnecessarily.
Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value
gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user
value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to
prevent prompting.
Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults
are not prompted in "oldconfig", except when conditional defaults evaluate
to 'no' and should legitimately be prompted.
Build tested with "make testconfig".

Add a new Coccinelle script to identify places where PTR_ERR() is used
in print functions and suggest using the %pe format specifier instead.
For printing error pointers (i.e., a pointer for which IS_ERR() is true)
%pe will print a symbolic error name (e.g,. -EINVAL), opposed to the raw
errno (e.g,. -22) produced by PTR_ERR().
It also makes the code cleaner by saving a redundant call to PTR_ERR().
The script supports context, report, and org modes.
Example transformation:
printk("Error: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(ptr)); // Before
printk("Error: %pe\n", ptr); // After

During kernel option migrations (e.g. CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI),
existing .config files need to maintain backward compatibility while
preventing deprecated options from appearing in newly generated
configurations. This is challenging with existing Kconfig mechanisms
because:
1. Simply removing old options breaks existing .config files.
2. Manually listing an option as "deprecated" leaves it needlessly
visible and still writes them to new .config files.
3. Using any method to remove visibility (.e.g no 'prompt', 'if n',
etc) prevents the option from being processed at all.
Add a "transitional" attribute that creates symbols which are:
- Processed during configuration (can influence other symbols' defaults)
- Hidden from user menus (no prompts appear)
- Omitted from newly written .config files (gets migrated)
- Restricted to only having help sections (no defaults, selects, etc)
making it truly just a "prior value pass-through" option.
The transitional syntax requires a type argument and prevents type
redefinition:
config NEW_OPTION
bool "New option"
default OLD_OPTION
config OLD_OPTION
bool
transitional
help
Transitional config for OLD_OPTION migration.
This allows seamless migration: olddefconfig processes existing
CONFIG_OLD_OPTION=y settings to enable CONFIG_NEW_OPTION=y, while
CONFIG_OLD_OPTION is omitted from newly generated .config files.
Added positive and negative testing via "testconfig" make target.

Alexey Gladkov says:
The modules.builtin.modinfo file is used by userspace (kmod to be specific) to
get information about builtin modules. Among other information about the module,
information about module aliases is stored. This is very important to determine
that a particular modalias will be handled by a module that is inside the
kernel.
There are several mechanisms for creating modalias for modules:
The first is to explicitly specify the MODULE_ALIAS of the macro. In this case,
the aliases go into the '.modinfo' section of the module if it is compiled
separately or into vmlinux.o if it is builtin into the kernel.
The second is the use of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE followed by the use of the
modpost utility. In this case, vmlinux.o no longer has this information and
does not get it into modules.builtin.modinfo.
For example:
$ modinfo pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30
modinfo: ERROR: Module pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30 not found.
$ modinfo xhci_pci
name: xhci_pci
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
The builtin module is missing alias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be
generated by modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to add the generated by modpost modalias to
modules.builtin.modinfo. Fortunately modpost already generates .vmlinux.export.c
for exported symbols. It is possible to add `.modinfo` for builtin modules and
modify the build system so that `.modinfo` section is extracted from the
intermediate vmlinux after modpost is executed.

For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.
When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.
As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias
pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30

description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.

With lines having a code to decode, the alignment was not preserved for
the first line.
With this sample ...
[ 52.238089][ T55] RIP: 0010:__ip_queue_xmit+0x127c/0x1820
[ 52.238401][ T55] Code: c1 83 e0 07 48 c1 e9 03 83 c0 03 (...)
... the script was producing the following output:
[ 52.238089][ T55] RIP: 0010:__ip_queue_xmit (...)
[ 52.238401][ T55] Code: c1 83 e0 07 48 c1 e9 03 83 c0 03 (...)
That's because scripts/decodecode doesn't preserve the alignment. No need
to modify it, it is enough to give only the "Code: (...)" part to this
script, and print the prefix without modifications.
With the same sample, we now have:
[ 52.238089][ T55] RIP: 0010:__ip_queue_xmit (...)
[ 52.238401][ T55] Code: c1 83 e0 07 48 c1 e9 03 83 c0 03 (...)

With lines having a symbol to decode, the script was only trying to
preserve the alignment for the timestamps, but not the rest, nor when the
caller was set (CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER=y).
With this sample ...
[ 52.080924] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926] <TASK>
[ 52.080931] dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0
... the script was producing the following output:
[ 52.080924] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926] <TASK>
[ 52.080931] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)
(dump_stack_lvl is no longer aligned with <TASK>: one missing space)
With this other sample ...
[ 52.080924][ T48] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926][ T48] <TASK>
[ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0
... the script was producing the following output:
[ 52.080924][ T48] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926][ T48] <TASK>
[ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)
(the misalignment is clearer here)
That's because the script had a workaround for CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y only,
see the previous comment called "Format timestamps with tabs".
To always preserve spaces, they need to be recorded along the words. That
is what is now done with the new 'spaces' array.
Some notes:
- 'extglob' is needed only for this operation, and that's why it is set
in a dedicated subshell.
- 'read' is used with '-r' not to treat a <backslash> character in any
special way, e.g. when followed by a space.
- When a word is removed from the 'words' array, the corresponding space
needs to be removed from the 'spaces' array as well.
With the last sample, we now have:
[ 52.080924][ T48] Call Trace:
[ 52.080926][ T48] <TASK>
[ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)
(the alignment is preserved)

Commit bd7c231212 ("pinctrl: meson: Fix typo in device table macro")
is needed in kbuild-next to avoid a build error with a future change.
While at it, address the conflict between commit 41f9049cff ("riscv:
Only allow LTO with CMODEL_MEDANY") and commit 6578a1ff6a ("riscv:
Remove version check for LTO_CLANG selects"), as reported by Stephen
Rothwell [1].

The regex in this block of code makes no sense, and a quick test shows that
it never matches anything; simply delete the code.

Add some more comments to dump_function(), add some comments, and trim out
an unneeded duplicate output_declaration() call.

The logic to handle macros is split in dump_function(); bring it all
together into a single place and add a comment saying what's going on.
Remove the unneeded is_define_proto variable, and tighten up the code
a bit.
