[ Upstream commit a537c0da168a08b0b6a7f7bd9e75f4cc8d45ff57 ]

A perf build failure was reported by Thomas Voegtle on stable kernel
v6.6.120:

Fix this by including linux/kernel.h, which provides the required

The issue was not found on the mainline due to the relevant C files have
included kernel.h.  It'd be good to merge this change on mainline
as well for robustness.

[ Upstream commit f38ce0209ab4553906b44bd1159e35c740a84161 ]

small_const_nbits is defined in asm-generic/bitsperlong.h which
bitmap.h uses but doesn't include causing build failures in some build
systems. Add the missing #include.

Note the bitmap.h in tools has diverged from that of the kernel, so no
changes are made there.

<title>kallsyms: fix build without execinfo</title>

commit a95743b53031b015e8949e845a9f6fdfb2656347 upstream.

Some libc's like musl libc don't provide execinfo.h since it's not part of
POSIX.  In order to fix compilation on musl, only include execinfo.h if
available (HAVE_BACKTRACE_SUPPORT)

This was discovered with c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol
length") which starts to include linux/kallsyms.h with Alpine Linux'
configs.

Similar to commit f8d92fc527ff ("selftests: vDSO: fix include order in
build of test_vdso_chacha") add SYM_DATA_START, SYM_DATA_START_LOCAL, and
SYM_DATA_END stubs to tools/include/linux/linkage.h so that the proper
macros can be used within the kernel's vdso code as well as in the
vdso_test_chacha selftest.
