[ Upstream commit 75b5ab134bb5f657ef7979a59106dce0657e8d87 ]

Clang enables -Wenum-enum-conversion and -Wenum-compare-conditional
under -Wenum-conversion. A recent change in Clang strengthened these
warnings and they appear frequently in common builds, primarily due to
several instances in common headers but there are quite a few drivers
that have individual instances as well.

        |                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doing arithmetic between or returning two different types of enums could
be a bug, so each of the instance of the warning needs to be evaluated.
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there are many instances of this
warning in many different configurations, which can break the build when
CONFIG_WERROR is enabled.

To avoid introducing new instances of the warnings while cleaning up the
disruption for the majority of users, disable these warnings for the
default build while leaving them on for W=1 builds.

[ Upstream commit af8bbce92044dc58e4cc039ab94ee5d470a621f5 ]

A macro placed at the end of a file with no newline causes an infinite
loop.

[Test Kconfig]
  $(info,hello)
  \ No newline at end of file

I realized that flex-provided input() returns 0 instead of EOF when it
reaches the end of a file.

Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build:

 - simple auto-release pointers using __free()

 - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for
   scope-based resource management.

 - lock guards based on the above classes.

commit 397586506c3da005b9333ce5947ad01e8018a3be upstream.

After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a
segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost:
unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a
warning:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown)
  WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references
  section ".ltext" which is not in the list of
  authorized sections.  If you're adding a new section
  and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the
  list of authorized sections to jump to on fault.
  This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to
  OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c.

The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and
'.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large',
which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text'
and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

commit 19331e84c3873256537d446afec1f6c507f8c4ef upstream.

Commit 6c730bfc894f ("modpost: handle -ffunction-sections") added
".text.*" to the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS macro to fix certain section
mismatch warnings. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for modpost
to warn about section mismatches with LTO, which implies
'-ffunction-sections', as all functions are put in their own
'.text.&lt;func_name&gt;' sections, which may still reference functions in
sections they are not supposed to, such as __init.

Fix this by moving ".text.*" into TEXT_SECTIONS, so that configurations
with '-ffunction-sections' will see warnings about mismatched sections.

sections they are not supposed to, such as __init.

Fix this by moving ".text.*" into TEXT_SECTIONS, so that configurations
with '-ffunction-sections' will see warnings about mismatched sections.

commit 6a4e59eeedc3018cb57722eecfcbb49431aeb05f upstream.

We have never used __memexit, __memexitdata, or __memexitconst.

These were unneeded.

<title>modpost: Don't let "driver"s reference .exit.*</title>

commit f177cd0c15fcc7bdbb68d8d1a3166dead95314c8 upstream.

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely
are not available when the code is built-in.

There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64
allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for
W=1 builds.

The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented
since commit 0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference
.init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the
same way.

Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to
find this improvement.

commit 20ff36856fe00879f82de71fe6f1482ca1b72334 upstream.

"No build warning" is a strong requirement these days, so you must fix
all issues before enabling a new warning flag.

We often add a new warning to W=1 first so that the kbuild test robot
blocks new breakages.

This commit allows modpost to show extra warnings only when W=1
(or KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN=1) is given.
