Currently you cannot filter out the crate-name argument
RUSTFLAGS_REMOVE_stem.o because the Rust filter-out invocation does not
include that particular argument. Since --crate-name is an argument that
can't be passed multiple times, this means that it's currently not
possible to override the crate name. Thus, remove the --crate-name
argument for drivers. This allows them to override the crate name using
the #![crate_name] annotation.
This affects symbol names, but has no effect on the filenames of object
files and other things generated by the build, as we always use --emit
with a fixed output filename.
The --crate-name argument is kept for the crates under rust/ for
simplicity and to avoid changing many of them by adding #![crate_name].
The rust analyzer script is updated to use rustc to obtain the crate
name of the driver crates, which picks up the right name whether it is
configured via #![crate_name] or not. For readability, the logic to
invoke 'rustc' is extracted to its own function.
Note that the crate name in the python script is not actually that
important - the only place where the name actually affects anything is
in the 'deps' array which specifies an index and name for each
dependency, and determines what that dependency is called in *this*
crate. (The same crate may be called different things in each
dependency.) Since driver crates are leaf crates, this doesn't apply and
the rustc invocation only affects the 'display_name' parameter.

[ Applied Python type hints. - Miguel ]
Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.
If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.
The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.
To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit 5daa0c35a1 ("rust:
Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO") for details.
We have an intended triple mismatch of `aarch64-unknown-none` vs
`aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`, so we pass --suppress-warnings to llvm-link
to suppress it.
I considered adding some sort of check that KBUILD_MODNAME is not
present in helpers_module.bc, but this is actually not so easy to carry
out because .bc files store strings in a weird binary format, so you
cannot just grep it for a string to check whether it ended up using
KBUILD_MODNAME anywhere.

[ Some changes, apart from the rebase:
- Added "(EXPERIMENTAL)" to Kconfig as the commit mentions.
- Added `depends on ARM64 || X86_64` and `!UML` for now, since this is
experimental, other architectures may require other changes (e.g.
the issues I mentioned in the mailing list for ARM and UML) and they
are not really tested so far. So let arch maintainers pick this up
if they think it is worth it.
- Gated the `cmd_ld_single` step also into the new mode, which also
means that any possible future `objcopy` step is done after the
translation, as expected.
- Added `.gitignore` for `.bc` with exception for existing script.
- Added `part-of-*` for helpers bitcode files as discussed, and
dropped `$(if $(filter %_module.bc,$@),-DMODULE)` since `-DMODULE`
is already there (would be duplicated otherwise).
- Moved `LLVM_LINK` to keep binutils list alphabetized.
- Fixed typo in title.
- Dropped second `cmd_ld_single` commit message paragraph.

The macro is a more powerful version of `static_assert!` for use inside
function contexts. This is powered by inline consts, so enable the feature
for old compiler versions that does not have it stably.
While it is possible already to write `const { assert!(...) }`, this
provides a short hand that is more uniform with other assertions. It also
formats nicer with rustfmt where it will not be formatted into multiple
lines.
Two users that would route via the Rust tree are converted.

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from

avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

This error comes from the automatic requirements feature of rpm. The

'AutoReq: 0' for this subpackage, avoiding the error. This matches the

Additionally, while in the area, add the manual debug information

are not defined when building from a source RPM package generated with
the srcrpm-pkg target, breaking the build when generating the debug info

Define a default value for these variables so that these commands
respect the value from Kbuild but continue to work when built from a
source RPM package.

Commit 62089b8048 ("kbuild: rpm-pkg: Generate debuginfo package
manually") moved away from the built-in RPM machinery for generating
-debuginfo packages to a more manual way to be compatible with module
signing, as the built-in machinery strips the modules after the
installation process, breaking the signatures.
Unfortunately, prior to rpm 4.20.0, there is a bug where a custom %files
directive is ignored for a -debuginfo subpackage [1], meaning builds
using older versions of RPM (such as on RHEL9 or RHEL10) fail with:
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files .../rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-6.19.0_dirty-1.x86_64
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:

/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/0e/979a2f34967c7437fd30aabb41de1f0c8b6a66.debug
...
To workaround this, restrict the manual debug info package creation
process to when it is necessary (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y) and possible (when
using RPM >= 4.20.0). A follow up change will restore the RPM debuginfo
creation process using a separate internal flag to allow the package to
be built in more situations, as RPM 4.20.0 is a fairly recent version
and the built-in -debuginfo generation works fine when module signing is
disabled.

Parallel compression for LZMA was added using the plzip tool. However
plzip produces lzip format output, which is different from the raw LZMA
format that the lzma tool produces. This causes depthcharge (the second
stage bootloader on Chromebooks) to fail to load the payload.
Drop the explicit LZMA parallel compression toolchain. If the lzma tool
on the build machine is from xz-utils, then there's a chance parallel
compression is already enabled.
The xz-utils manpage says the following for the -T (threads) argument:
Specify the number of worker threads to use. Setting threads to a
special value 0 makes xz use up to as many threads as the processor(s)
on the system support. The actual number of threads can be fewer than
threads if the input file is not big enough for threading with the
given settings or if using more threads would exceed the memory usage
limit.
[...]
The default value for threads is 0. In xz 5.4.x and older the default
is 1.

"A series from Thomas Weißschuh cleans up the UAPI header files to no
longer contain any references to Kconfig symbols, as these make no
sense in userspace.
The build-time check for these was originally added by Sam Ravnborg in
linux-2.6.28, and a later version started warning for all newly added
CONFIG_* checks here but kept a list of known exceptions. With the
last exceptions gone from that list, the warning is now unconditional
in 'make headers_install'.

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
(Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )

- 'rbtree' module: reduce unsafe blocks on pointer derefs
- 'transmute' module: implement 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes' for
inhabited ZSTs, and use it in Nova
- More treewide replacements of 'c_str!' with C string literals
'macros' crate:
- Rewrite most procedural macros ('module!', 'concat_idents!',
'#[export]', '#[vtable]', '#[kunit_tests]') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
This also allows to support '#[cfg]' properly in the '#[vtable]'
macro, to support arbitrary types in 'module!' macro (not just an
identifier) and to remove several custom parsing helpers we had
- Use 'quote!' from the recently vendored 'quote' library and remove
our custom one
The vendored one also allows us to avoid quoting '"' and '{}'
inside the template anymore and editors can now highlight it. In
addition, it improves robustness as it eliminates the need for
string quoting and escaping
- Use 'pin_init::zeroed()' to simplify KUnit code
'pin-init' crate:
- Rewrite all procedural macros ('[pin_]init!', '#[pin_data]',
'#[pinned_drop]', 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
- Implement 'InPlaceWrite' for '&'static mut MaybeUninit<T>'. This
enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
'static_cell'
- Support tuple structs in 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'
- Support attributes on fields in '[pin_]init!' (such as
'#[cfg(...)]')
- Add a '#[default_error(<type>)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified)
- Support packed structs in '[pin_]init!' with
'#[disable_initialized_field_access]'
- Remove 'try_[pin_]init!' in favor of merging their feature with
'[pin_]init!'. Update the kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros to
use the 'default_error' attribute
- Correct 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'

Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen:
"Module signing:
- Remove SHA-1 support for signing modules.
SHA-1 is no longer considered secure for signatures due to
vulnerabilities that can lead to hash collisions. None of the major
distributions use SHA-1 anymore, and the kernel has defaulted to
SHA-512 since v6.11.
Note that loading SHA-1 signed modules is still supported.
- Update scripts/sign-file to use only the OpenSSL CMS API for
signing.
As SHA-1 support is gone, we can drop the legacy PKCS#7 API which
was limited to SHA-1. This also cleans up support for legacy
OpenSSL versions.
Cleanups and fixes:
- Use system_dfl_wq instead of the per-cpu system_wq following the
ongoing workqueue API refactoring.
- Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() in module decompression logic by using
the standard helper.
- Improve section annotations by replacing the custom __modinit with
__init_or_module and removing several unused __INIT*_OR_MODULE
macros.
- Fix kernel-doc warnings in include/linux/moduleparam.h.
- Ensure set_module_sig_enforced is only declared when module signing
is enabled.
- Fix gendwarfksyms build failures on 32-bit hosts.

rotation and update the git repository link"

Pull keys update from David Howells:
"This adds support for ML-DSA signatures in X.509 certificates and
PKCS#7/CMS messages, thereby allowing this algorithm to be used for
signing modules, kexec'able binaries, wifi regulatory data, etc..
This requires OpenSSL-3.5 at a minimum and preferably OpenSSL-4 (so
that it can avoid the use of CMS signedAttrs - but that version is not
cut yet). certs/Kconfig does a check to hide the signing options if
OpenSSL does not list the algorithm as being available"

Pull kmalloc_obj updates from Kees Cook:
"Introduce the kmalloc_obj* family of APIs for switching to type-based
kmalloc allocations, away from purely size-based allocations.
Discussed on lkml, with you, and at Linux Plumbers. It's been in -next
for the entire dev cycle.
Before the merge window closes, I'd like to send the treewide
change (generated from the Coccinelle script included here), which
mechanically converts almost 20k callsites from kmalloc* to
kmalloc_obj*:
8007 files changed, 19980 insertions(+), 20838 deletions(-)
This change needed fixes for mismatched types (since now the return
type from allocations is a pointer to the requested type, not "void
*"), and I've been fixing these over the last 4 releases.
These fixes have mostly been trivial mismatches with const qualifiers
or accidentally identical sizes (e.g. same object size: "struct kvec"
vs "struct iovec", or differing pointers to pointers), but I did catch
one case of too-small allocation.
Summary:
- Introduce kmalloc_obj*() family of type-based allocator APIs
- checkpatch: Suggest kmalloc_obj family for sizeof allocations
- coccinelle: Add kmalloc_objs conversion script"

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.
ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.
The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.
- Improve the AES library:
- Make the AES key expansion and single block encryption and
decryption functions use the architecture-optimized AES code.
Enable these optimizations by default.
- Support preparing an AES key for encryption-only, using about
half as much memory as a bidirectional key.
- Replace the existing two generic implementations of AES with a
single one.
- Simplify how Adiantum message hashing is implemented. Remove the
"nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

by generative tools
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to

behind to avoid breaking scripts
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
documentation in Python code, better support for documenting

Pull RCU updates from Boqun Feng:
- RCU Tasks Trace:
Re-implement RCU tasks trace in term of SRCU-fast, not only more than
500 lines of code are saved because of the reimplementation, a new
set of API, rcu_read_{,un}lock_tasks_trace(), becomes possible as
well. Compared to the previous rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace(), the new
API avoid the task_struct accesses thanks to the SRCU-fast semantics.
As a result, the old rcu_read{,un}lock_trace() API is now deprecated.

- Multiple improvements on kvm-series.sh (parallel run and
progress showing metrics)
- Add context checks to rcu_torture_timer()
