95207db816 Remove Intel compiler support
include/linux/compiler-intel.h had no update in the past 3 years.

We often forget about the third C compiler to build the kernel.

For example, commit a0a12c3ed0 ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO")
only mentioned GCC and Clang.

init/Kconfig defines CC_IS_GCC and CC_IS_CLANG but not CC_IS_ICC,
and nobody has reported any issue.

I guess the Intel Compiler support is broken, and nobody is caring
about it.

Harald Arnesen pointed out ICC (classic Intel C/C++ compiler) is
deprecated:

    $ icc -v
    icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is
    deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half
    of 2023. The Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (ICX) is the recommended
    compiler moving forward. Please transition to use this compiler. Use
    '-diag-disable=10441' to disable this message.
    icc version 2021.7.0 (gcc version 12.1.0 compatibility)

Arnd Bergmann provided a link to the article, "Intel C/C++ compilers
complete adoption of LLVM".

lib/zstd/common/compiler.h and lib/zstd/compress/zstd_fast.c were kept
untouched for better sync with https://github.com/facebook/zstd

e441273947 Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25
Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.

We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.

Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months
before GCC 5.1.

With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
Examples:
  arch/arm/Kconfig.assembler
  arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
  arch/powerpc/Makefile
  arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler

30d17fac6a scripts/min-tool-version.sh: raise minimum clang version to 15.0.0 for s390
Before version 15.0.0 llvm's integrated assembler may silently
generate corrupted code on s390. See e.g. commit e9953b729b
("s390/boot: workaround llvm IAS bug") for further details.

While there have been workarounds applied for all known existing
locations, there is nothing that prevents that new code with
problematic patterns will be added.

Therefore raise the minimum clang version to 15.0.0. Note that llvm
commit e547b04d5b2c ("[SystemZ] Bugfix for symbolic displacements."),
which is included in 15.0.0, fixes the broken code generation.

78521f3399 scripts: add rust_is_available.sh
This script tests whether the Rust toolchain requirements are in place
to enable Rust support. It uses `min-tool-version.sh` to fetch
the version numbers.

The build system will call it to set `CONFIG_RUST_IS_AVAILABLE` in
a later patch.

It also has an option (`-v`) to explain what is missing, which is
useful to set up the development environment. This is used via
the `make rustavailable` target added in a later patch.

8218827b73 scripts/min-tool-version.sh: raise minimum clang version to 14.0.0 for s390
Before version 14.0.0 llvm's integrated assembler fails to handle some
displacement variants:

arch/s390/purgatory/head.S:108:10: error: invalid operand for instruction
 lg %r11,kernel_type-.base_crash(%r13)

Instead of working around this and given that this is already fixed
raise the minimum clang version from 13.0.0 to 14.0.0.

df05c0e949 Documentation: Raise the minimum supported version of LLVM to 11.0.0
LLVM versions prior to 11.0.0 have a harder time with dead code
elimination, which can cause issues with commonly used expressions such
as BUILD_BUG_ON and the bitmask functions/macros in bitfield.h (see the
first two issues links below).

Whenever there is an issue within LLVM that has been resolved in a later
release, the only course of action is to gate the problematic
configuration or source code on the toolchain verson or raise the
minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel, as LLVM has a
limited support lifetime compared to GCC. GCC major releases will
typically see a few point releases across a two year period on average
whereas LLVM major releases are only supported until the next major
release and will only see one or two point releases within that
timeframe. For example, GCC 8.1 was released in May 2018 and GCC 8.5 was
released in May 2021, whereas LLVM 12.0.0 was released in April 2021 and
its only point release, 12.0.1, was released in July 2021, giving a
minimal window for fixes to be backported.

To resolve these build errors around improper dead code elimination,
raise the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to
11.0.0. Doing so is a more proper solution than mucking around with core
kernel macros that have always worked with GCC or disabling drivers for
using these macros in a proper manner. This type of issue may continue
to crop up and require patching, which creates more debt for bumping the
minimum supported version in the future.

This should have a minimal impact to distributions. Using a script to
pull several different Docker images and check the output of
'clang --version':

archlinux:latest: clang version 13.0.0

debian:oldoldstable-slim: clang version 3.8.1-24 (tags/RELEASE_381/final)

fedora:rawhide: clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0-5.fc36)

opensuse/leap:15.2: clang version 9.0.1
opensuse/leap:latest: clang version 11.0.1
opensuse/tumbleweed:latest: clang version 13.0.0

ubuntu:bionic: clang version 6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
ubuntu:latest: clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1
ubuntu:hirsute: Ubuntu clang version 12.0.0-3ubuntu1~21.04.2
ubuntu:rolling: Ubuntu clang version 13.0.0-2
ubuntu:devel: Ubuntu clang version 13.0.0-9

In every case, the distribution's version of clang is either older than
the current minimum supported version of LLVM 10.0.1 or equal to or
greater than the proposed 11.0.0 so nothing should change.

Another benefit of this change is LLVM=1 works better with arm64 and
x86_64 since commit f12b034afe ("scripts/Makefile.clang: default to
LLVM_IAS=1") enabled the integrated assembler by default, which only
works well with clang 11+ (clang-10 required it to be disabled to
successfully build a kernel).

76ae847497 Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1
commit fad7cd3310 ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")

Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW.  This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.

Also, because the macro is type agnostic, it is very difficult to write
a similarly type generic macro that dispatches to one of:
 * div64_s64
 * div64_u64
 * div_s64
 * div_u64

Raising the minimum supported versions allows us to remove all of the
fallback helpers for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW, instead
dispatching the compiler builtins.

arm64 has already raised the minimum supported GCC version to 5.1, do
this for all targets now.  See the link below for the previous
discussion.

e2bc3e91d9 scripts/min-tool-version.sh: Raise minimum clang version to 13.0.0 for s390
clang versions prior to the current development version of 13.0.0 cannot
compile s390 after commit 3abbdfde5a65 ("s390/bitops: use register pair
instead of register asm") and the s390 maintainers do not intend to work
around this in the kernel. Codify this in scripts/min-tool-version.sh
similar to arm64 with GCC 5.1.0 so that there are no reports of broken
builds.

[hca@linux.ibm.com: breaking compatibility with older clang compilers
 is intended to finally make use of a feature which allows the
 compiler to allocate even/odd register pairs. This is possible since
 a very long time with gcc, but only since llvm-project commit
 d058262b1471 ("[SystemZ] Support i128 inline asm operands.") with
 clang. Using that feature allows to get rid of error prone register
 asm statements, of which the above named kernel commit is only the
 first of a larger not yet complete series.]

e24b3ffcf4 kbuild: collect minimum tool versions into scripts/min-tool-version.sh
The kernel build uses various tools, many of which are provided by the
same software suite, for example, LLVM and Binutils.

When you raise the minimum version of Clang/LLVM, you need to update
clang_min_version in scripts/cc-version.sh and also lld_min_version in
scripts/ld-version.sh.

Kbuild can handle CC=clang and LD=ld.lld independently, but it does not
make much sense to maintain their versions separately.

Let's create a central place of minimum tool versions so you do not need
to touch multiple files. scripts/min-tool-version.sh prints the minimum
version of the given tool.
