Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.
The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
- modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
- vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
per section
- vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
- .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE
The generated data will look like:
.text 00000000-00000000 = _text
.text 0000baf0-0000cb10 amd_uncore
.text 0009bd10-0009c8e0 iosf_mbi
...
.text 00b9f080-00ba011a intel_skl_int3472_discrete
.text 00ba0120-00ba03c0 intel_skl_int3472_discrete intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
.text 00ba03c0-00ba08d6 intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
...
.data 00000000-00000000 = _sdata
.data 0000f020-0000f680 amd_uncore
For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol. This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.
Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules. Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.
The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.
How it works:
1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
referred to as <kmodfile>). This object name can be used to
identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
-DKBUILD_MODFILE=<kmodfile> present in its build command, and those
can be found in the .<obj>.cmd file in the kernel build tree.
If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.
This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
kernel build belong to any modules, and which.
2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
turned into offsets. This makes it possible to handle sections
getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.
We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).
We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
level section. This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
know what object a symbol is found in.
And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
(or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:
vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:
vmlinux.map:
<top level section>
<included section> -- might be same as top level section)
<object> -- built-in association known
<symbol> -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
...
vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:
vmlinux.map:
<top level section>
<included section> -- might be same as top level section)
vmlinux.o -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
<symbol> -- ignored
...
vmlinux.o.map:
<section>
<object> -- built-in association known
<symbol> -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
...
3. As sections, objects, and symbols are processed, offset ranges are
constructed in a straight-forward way:
- If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:
- If we were working on the same module(s), extend the range
to include this object
- If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
and start the new one
- If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:
- If we were working on a module(s) range, close that range

Commit 3f1b0e1f28 (".gitignore update") added *.orig and *.rej
patterns to .gitignore in v2.6.23. The commit message didn't give a
rationale. Later on, commit 1f5d3a6b65 ("Remove *.rej pattern from
.gitignore") removed the *.rej pattern in v2.6.26, on the rationale that
*.rej files indicated something went really wrong and should not be
ignored.
The *.rej files are now shown by `git status`, which helps located
conflicts when applying patches and lowers the probability that they
will go unnoticed. It is however still easy to overlook the *.orig files
which slowly polute the source tree. That's not as big of a deal as not
noticing a conflict, but it's still not nice.

[masahiroy@kernel.org:
I do not have a strong opinion about this. Perhaps some people may have
a different opinion.
If you are someone who wants to ignore *.orig, it is likely you would
want to do so across all projects. Then, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
would be more suitable for your needs. gitignore(5) suggests, "Patterns
which a user wants Git to ignore in all situations generally go into a
file specified by core.excludesFile in the user's ~/.gitconfig".
Please note that you cannot do the opposite; if *.orig is ignored by
the project's .gitignore, you cannot override the decision because
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore has a lower priority.
If *.orig is sitting on the fence, I'd leave it to the users. ]

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates.
Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages:
* The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and
bootloader configuration
* Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks
* New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping
The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the
downstream Arch Linux "linux" package.
Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have
been removed and an UAPI header package has been added.

It is useful to have a list of all *.dtb and *.dtbo files generated
from the current build.
With this commit, 'make dtbs' creates arch/*/boot/dts/dtbs-list, which
lists the dtb(o) files created in the current build. It maintains the
order of the dtb-y additions in Makefiles although the order is not
important for DTBs. It is a (good) side effect through the reuse of the
modules.order rule.
Please note this list only includes the files directly added to dtb-y.
For example, consider this case:
foo-dtbs := foo_base.dtb foo_overlay.dtbo
dtb-y := foo.dtb
In this example, the list will include foo.dtb, but not foo_base.dtb
or foo_overlay.dtbo.

EditorConfig is a specification to define the most basic code formatting
stuff, and it's supported by many editors and IDEs, either directly or
via plugins, including VSCode/VSCodium, Vim, emacs and more.
It allows to define formatting style related to indentation, charset,
end of lines and trailing whitespaces. It also allows to apply different
formats for different files based on wildcards, so for example it is
possible to apply different configs to *.{c,h}, *.py and *.rs.
In linux project, defining a .editorconfig might help to those people
that work on different projects with different indentation styles, so
they cannot define a global style. Now they will directly see the
correct indentation on every fresh clone of the project.

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.
Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits:
- 5cf0fd591f ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
- a555bdd0c5 ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding")
We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL
are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit
KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.
Commit f73edc8951 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another
ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules,
modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB
only for symbols with sym->used==true.
BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/
Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain
reaction of trimming comes into play because:
- CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols
- CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux,
but not modules
If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess
that is unlikely to happen.

The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers
is missing in the kernel tree.
WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing.
Modules may not have dependencies or modversions.
I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may
not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire
kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups
for external modules by 'make defconfig && make modules_preapre'.
A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without
vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers
already exists in spite of its incomplete content.
The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created.
This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into
modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by
concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist.
Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and
modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it
is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it
because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.

remaining pieces for arm64 (LTO has been the default build method on
Android for about 3 years now, as it is the prerequisite for the
Control Flow Integrity protections).
While x86 LTO enablement is done, it depends on some pending objtool
clean-ups. It's possible that I'll send a "part 2" pull request for
LTO that includes x86 support.
For merge log posterity, and as detailed in commit dc5723b02e
("kbuild: add support for Clang LTO"), here is the lt;dr to do an LTO
build:
make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
(To do a cross-compile of arm64, add "CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-"
and "ARCH=arm64" to the "make" command lines.)

With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, version information is linked into each
compilation unit that exports symbols. With LTO, we cannot use this
method as all C code is compiled into LLVM bitcode instead. This
change collects symbol versions into .symversions files and merges
them in link-vmlinux.sh where they are all linked into vmlinux.o at
the same time.

The default way of building documentation is to use
Sphinx toolchain installed via pip, inside the
Kernel tree main directory. That's what's recommended by:

As it usually provides a better version of this package

The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for
modules.
The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but
the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file,
presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols.
Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object.
Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second
pass.
A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file,
vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files.
The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same
way as before.
This makes further modpost cleanups possible.
Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote
Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols.
I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked
when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be
generated.

The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps
files.
Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information.
This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel
when the -j option is given.
On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread.
I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files.
This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file,
modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format:
<module_name>: <list of missing namespaces>
Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones.
So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good.
This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process
already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the
nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.
This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu:

Summary of modules changes for the 5.4 merge window:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.
Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel
developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem

should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or
inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily
limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the

Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
"The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
"clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.
Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

module: support reading multiple values per modinfo tag
This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a <module>.ns_deps file
per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module.
E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol
myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created
by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace
dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc.
These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like
coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A
later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a
corresponding make target to automatically add missing
MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses
the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.

While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules,
but do not link final *.ko files; it is done in the modpost.
To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR)
for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the
necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into
directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so.
Later, commit 551559e13a ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added
modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules
with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of
*.mod files.
$(MODVERDIR) has a flat directory structure, that is, *.mod files
are named only with base names. This is based on the assumption that
the module name is unique across the tree. This assumption is really
fragile.
Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name
conflict:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991
In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same
$(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously.
Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence
commit 3a48a91901 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names")
introduced a new checker script.
However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because
this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it
happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages.
To fix this issue completely, create *.mod with full directory path
so that two threads never attempt to write to the same file.
$(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed.
Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild
is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending.
I also killed cmd_secanalysis; scripts/mod/sumversion.c computes MD4 hash
for modules with MODULE_VERSION(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y,
it occurs not only in the modpost stage, but also during directory
descending, where sumversion.c may parse stale *.mod files. It would emit
'No such file or directory' warning when an object consisting a module is
renamed, or when a single-obj module is turned into a multi-obj module or
vice versa.

Problem:
When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.
Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:
1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.
2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.
Proposal:
The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.
It can be easily read in the userspace:
$ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo

This adds the build infrastructure for checking DT binding schema
documents and validating dts files using the binding schema.
Check DT binding schema documents:
make dt_binding_check
Build dts files and check using DT binding schema:
make dtbs_check
Optionally, DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be passed in with a schema file(s) to
use for validation. This makes it easier to find and fix errors
generated by a specific schema.
Currently, the validation targets are separate from a normal build to
avoid a hard dependency on the external DT schema project and because
there are lots of warnings generated.

clang-format is a tool to format C/C++/... code according to a set of
rules and heuristics. Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers
every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful.
In particular, it is useful for quickly re-formatting blocks of code
automatically, for reviewing full files in order to spot coding style
mistakes, typos and possible improvements. It is also handy for sorting
``#includes``, for aligning variables and macros, for reflowing text and
other similar tasks. It also serves as a teaching tool/guide for
newcomers.
The tool itself has been already included in the repositories of popular
Linux distributions for a long time. The rules in this file are
intended for clang-format >= 4, which is easily available in most
distributions.
This commit adds the configuration file that contains the rules that the
tool uses to know how to format the code according to the kernel coding
style. This gives us several advantages:
* clang-format works out of the box with reasonable defaults;
avoiding that everyone has to re-do the configuration.
* Everyone agrees (eventually) on what is the most useful default
configuration for most of the kernel.
* If it becomes commonplace among kernel developers, clang-format
may feel compelled to support us better. They already recognize
the Linux kernel and its style in their documentation and in one
of the style sub-options.
Some of clang-format's features relevant for the kernel are:
* Uses clang's tooling support behind the scenes to parse and rewrite
the code. It is not based on ad-hoc regexps.
* Supports reasonably well the Linux kernel coding style.
* Fast enough to be used at the press of a key.
* There are already integrations (either built-in or third-party)
for many common editors used by kernel developers (e.g. vim,
emacs, Sublime, Atom...) that allow you to format an entire file
or, more usefully, just your selection.
* Able to parse unified diffs -- you can, for instance, reformat
only the lines changed by a git commit.
* Able to reflow text comments as well.
* Widely supported and used by hundreds of developers in highly
complex projects and organizations (e.g. the LLVM project itself,
Chromium, WebKit, Google, Mozilla...). Therefore, it will be
supported for a long time.

as *.lex.c, *.tab.[ch], *.dtb.S, etc. More confusing, files with
'-asn1.[ch]' are generated files, but '_asn1.[ch]' are checked-in

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c
