[ 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.

Fixes: 104daea149c4 ("kconfig: reference environment variables directly and remove 'option env='")

<title>kbuild: Add -Wa,--fatal-warnings to as-instr invocation</title>

commit 0ee695a471a750cad4fff22286d91e038b1ef62f upstream.

Certain assembler instruction tests may only induce warnings from the
assembler on an unsupported instruction or option, which causes as-instr
to succeed when it was expected to fail. Some tests workaround this
limitation by additionally testing that invalid input fails as expected.
However, this is fragile if the assembler is changed to accept the
invalid input, as it will cause the instruction/option to be unavailable
like it was unsupported even when it is.

Use '-Wa,--fatal-warnings' in the as-instr macro to turn these warnings
into hard errors, which avoids this fragility and makes tests more
robust and well formed.

[ Upstream commit e37243b65d528a8a9f8b9a57a43885f8e8dfc15c ]

The bpf_doc script refers to the GPL as the "GNU Privacy License".
I strongly suspect that the author wanted to refer to the GNU General
Public License, under which the Linux kernel is released, as, to the
best of my knowledge, there is no license named "GNU Privacy License".
This patch corrects the license name in the script accordingly.

<title>modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS</title>

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.

<title>kbuild: Fix changing ELF file type for output of gen_btf for big endian</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e3a9ee963ad8ba677ca925149812c5932b49af69 upstream.

Commit 90ceddcb4950 ("bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF")
changed the ELF type of .btf.vmlinux.bin.o to ET_REL via dd, which works
fine for little endian platforms:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  03 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|
  +00000010  01 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|

However, for big endian platforms, it changes the wrong byte, resulting
in an invalid ELF file type, which ld.lld rejects:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|

  +00000010  01 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|

  Type:                              &lt;unknown&gt;: 103

  ld.lld: error: .btf.vmlinux.bin.o: unknown file type

Fix this by updating the entire 16-bit e_type field rather than just a
single byte, so that everything works correctly for all platforms and
linkers.

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|

  Type:                              REL (Relocatable file)

While in the area, update the comment to mention that binutils 2.35+
matches LLD's behavior of rejecting an ET_EXEC input, which occurred
after the comment was added.

[ Upstream commit a951884d82886d8453d489f84f20ac168d062b38 ]

lld is now able to build ARMv4 and ARMv4T kernels, which means it can
generate thunks for those (__ARMv4PILongThunk_*, __ARMv4PILongBXThunk_*)
that can interfere with kallsyms table generation since they do not get
ignore like the corresponding ARMv5+ ones are:

Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround

Replace the hardcoded list of thunk symbols with a more general regex that
covers this one along with future symbols that follow the same pattern.

Fixes: 5eb6e280432d ("ARM: 9289/1: Allow pre-ARMv5 builds with ld.lld 16.0.0 and newer")
Fixes: efe6e3068067 ("kallsyms: fix nonconverging kallsyms table with lld")

[ Upstream commit 5d9a16b2a4d9e8fa028892ded43f6501bc2969e5 ]

get_line() does not trim the leading spaces, but the
parse_source_files() expects to get lines with source files paths where
the first space occurs after the file path.

<title>rust: upgrade to Rust 1.73.0</title>

commit e08ff622c91af997cb89bc47e90a1a383e938bd0 upstream.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.72.1 to 1.73.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.

Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

# Required changes

For the upgrade, the following changes are required:

  - Allow `internal_features` for `feature(compiler_builtins)` since
    now Rust warns about using internal compiler and standard library
    features (similar to how it also warns about incomplete ones) [4].

  - A cleanup for a documentation link thanks to a new `rustdoc` lint.
    See previous commits for details.

  - A need to make an intra-doc link to a macro explicit, due to a
    change in behavior in `rustdoc`. See previous commits for details.

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R &gt; old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R &gt; new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.
