[ Upstream commit baaecfcac559bcac73206df447eb5c385fa22f2a ]

When running make nconfig with a static linking host toolchain,
the libraries are linked in an incorrect order,
resulting in errors similar to the following:

$ MAKEFLAGS='HOSTCC=cc\ -static' make nconfig
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/14.2.1/../../../../lib64/libpanel.a(p_new.o): in function `new_panel':

/usr/bin/ld: (.text+0x6c): undefined reference to `_nc_panelhook_sp'

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".

Pull Kbuild updates from Nathan Chancellor:

 - Extend modules.builtin.modinfo to include module aliases from
   MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for builtin modules so that userspace tools (such
   as kmod) can verify that a particular module alias will be handled by
   a builtin module

 - Bump the minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0

 - Upgrade several userspace API checks in headers_check.pl to errors

 - Unify and consolidate CONFIG_WERROR / W=e handling

 - Turn assembler and linker warnings into errors with CONFIG_WERROR /
   W=e

 - Respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e when building userspace programs
   (userprogs)

 - Enable -Werror unconditionally when building host programs
   (hostprogs)

 - Support copy_file_range() and data segment alignment in gen_init_cpio
   to improve performance on filesystems that support reflinks such as
   btrfs and XFS

 - Miscellaneous small changes to scripts and configuration files

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.

The kconfig test harness ("make testconfig") was generating BrokenPipeError
warnings when running interactive tests like oldaskconfig and oldconfig:

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_pytest/unraisableexception.py:85: PytestUnraisableExceptionWarning: Exception ignored in: <_io.BufferedWriter name=12>

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/srv/code/scripts/kconfig/tests/conftest.py", line 127, in oldaskconfig

                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

The issue occurred when the test framework attempted to write to stdin
after the conf subprocess had already exited.

Wrap stdin write operations in try/except to catch BrokenPipeError and
stop sending more input. Add explicit flush() after writes so we can see
delivery errors immediately. Ignore BrokenPipeError when closing stdin.
Explicitly call wait() to validate subprocess termination.

When qconf (xconfig) exits, it saves the current Option settings
for Show Name, Show Debug Info, and Show {Normal|All|Prompt} Options.
When it is next run, it loads these Option settings from its
config file. It correctly shows the flag settings for Show Name
and Show Debug Info, but it does not show which of the 3 Show...Options
is set. This can lead to confusing output, e.g., if the user thinks
that xconfig is in Show All Options mode but kconfig options which
have an unmet dependency are still being listed.

Add code to show the radio button for the current Show...Options
mode during startup so that it will reflect the current config
setting.

strcpy() performs no bounds checking and can lead to buffer overflows if
the input string exceeds the destination buffer size. This patch replaces
it with strncpy(), and null terminates the input string.
