<linux/kconfig.h> is included from all the kernel-space source files,
including C, assembly, linker scripts. It is intended to contain a
minimal set of macros to evaluate CONFIG options.
IF_ENABLED() is an intruder here because (x ? y : z) is C code, which
should not be included from assembly files or linker scripts.
Also, <linux/kconfig.h> is no longer self-contained because NULL is
defined in <linux/stddef.h>.
Move IF_ENABLED() out to <linux/kernel.h> as PTR_IF(). PTF_IF()
takes the general boolean expression instead of a CONFIG option
so that it fits better in <linux/kernel.h>.

Keep them around until they are cleaned up by make clean. This
uses a bit more disk space, but makes it easier to debug any
problems with the kernel link process.

This reverts the old commit [1], which seems questionable to me.
It claimed 'make distclean' could not remove editor backup files,
but I believe KBUILD_OUTPUT or O= was set.
When O= is given, Kbuild should always work against $(objtree).
If O= is not given, $(objtree) and $(srctree) are the same, therefore
$(srctree) is cleaned up.

Rename overlay-y to multi-dtb-y, which is a consistent name with
multi-obj-y. Also, use multi-search to avoid code duplication.
Introduce real-dtb-y, which is a consistent name with real-obj-y,
to contain primitive blobs compiled from *.dts. This is used to
calculate the list of *.dt.yaml files.
Set -@ to base DTB without using $(eval ).

The suffix-search macro hard-codes the suffix, '.o'.
Make it a parameter so that the multi-search and real-search macros
can be reused for foo-dtbs syntax introduced by commit 15d16d6dadf6

'cross_compiling' is defined by the top Makefile and available for
arch Makefiles to check whether it is a cross build or not. A good
thing is the variable name 'cross_compiling' is self-documenting.
This is a simple replacement for m68k, mips, sh, for which $(ARCH)
and $(SRCARCH) always match.
No functional change is intended for xtensa, either.
This is rather a fix for parisc because arch/parisc/Makefile defines
UTS_MATCHINE depending on CONFIG_64BIT, therefore cc-cross-prefix
is not working in Kconfig time.

LANG gives a weak default to each LC_* in case it is not explicitly
defined. LC_ALL, if set, overrides all other LC_* variables.
LANG < LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, ... < LC_ALL
This is why documentation such as [1] suggests to set LC_ALL in build
scripts to get the deterministic result.
LANG=C is not strong enough to override LC_* that may be set by end
users.

Currently, -Wunused-but-set-variable is only supported by GCC so it is
disabled unconditionally in a GCC only block (it is enabled with W=1).
clang currently has its implementation for this warning in review so
preemptively move this statement out of the GCC only block and wrap it
with cc-disable-warning so that both compilers function the same.

We maintain .gitignore and Makefiles so build artifacts are properly
ignored by Git, and cleaned up by 'make clean'. However, the code is
always changing; generated files are often moved to another directory,
or removed when they become unnecessary. Such garbage files tend to be
left over in the source tree because people usually git-pull without
cleaning the tree.
This is not only the noise for 'git status', but also a build issue
in some cases.
One solution is to remove a stale file like commit 223c24a7dba9 ("kbuild:
Automatically remove stale <linux/version.h> file") did. Such workaround
should be removed after a while, but we forget about that if we scatter
the workaround code in random places.
So, this commit adds a new script to collect cleanings of stale files.
As a start point, move the code in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
into this script.

If the timestamp of the .config file is updated, config_data.gz is
regenerated, then vmlinux is re-linked. This occurs even if the content
of the .config has not changed at all.
This issue was mitigated by commit 67424f61f813 ("kconfig: do not write
.config if the content is the same"); Kconfig does not update the
.config when it ends up with the identical configuration.
The issue is remaining when the .config is created by *_defconfig with
some config fragment(s) applied on top.
This is typical for powerpc and mips, where several *_defconfig targets
are constructed by using merge_config.sh.
One workaround is to have the copy of the .config. The filechk rule
updates the copy, kernel/config_data, by checking the content instead
of the timestamp.
With this commit, the second run with the same configuration avoids
the needless rebuilds.

modules.builtin used to be created in every directory.

Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), modules.builtin is created only
in the top directory.

cmd_shipped uses 'cat' instead of 'cp' for copying a file. The reason
is explained in the commit [1], but it was in the pre-git era.
$ touch a
$ chmod -w a
$ cp a b
$ cp a b
cp: cannot create regular file 'b': Permission denied
Add comments so that you can see the reason without looking into

"There is a lot going on!
Core changes:
- A semantic change to handle pinmux and pinconf in explicit order
while up until now we depended on the semantic order in the device
tree. The device tree is a functional programming language and does
not imply any order, so the right thing is for the pin control core
to provide these semantics.
- Add a new pinmux-select debugfs file which makes it possible to go
in and select functions for a pin manually (iteratively, at the
prompt) for debugging purposes.
- Fixes to gpio regmap handling for a new pin control driver making
use of regmap-gpio.
- Use octal permissions on debugfs files.
New drivers:
- A massive rewrite of the former custom pin control driver for MIPS
Broadcom devices to instead use the pin control subsystem. New pin
control drivers for BCM6345, BCM6328, BCM6358, BCM6362, BCM6368,
BCM63268 and BCM6318 SoC variants are implemented.
- Support for PM8350, PM8350B, PM8350C, PMK8350, PMR735A and PMR735B
in the Qualcomm PMIC GPIO driver. Also the two GPIOs on PM8008 are
supported.
- Support for the Rockchip RK3568/RK3566 pin controller.
- Support for Ingenic JZ4730, JZ4750, JZ4755, JZ4775 and X2000.
- Support for Mediatek MTK8195.
- Add a new Xilinx ZynqMP pin control driver.
Driver improvements and non-urgent fixes:
- Modularization and improvements of the Rockchip drivers.
- Some new pins added to the description of new Renesas SoCs.
- Clarifications of the GPIO base calculation in the Intel driver.
- Fix the function names for the MPP54 and MPP55 pins in the Armada
CP110 pin controller.
- GPIO wakeup interrupt map for Qualcomm SC7280 and SM8350.
- Support for ACPI probing of the Qualcomm SC8180x.
- Fix interrupt clear status on rockchip
- Fix some missing pins on the Ingenic JZ4770, some semantic fixes

Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
"Fix an age old bug involving jump_calls and static_labels when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n.
When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, it means you can't unload modules, so
normally the __exit sections of a module are not loaded at all.
However, dynamic code patching (jump_label, static_call, alternatives)
can have sites in __exit sections even if __exit is never executed.
Reported by Peter Zijlstra:
'Alternatives, jump_labels and static_call all can have relocations
into __exit code. Not loading it at all would be BAD.'
Therefore, load the __exit sections even when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n,
and discard them after init"

It appears that unmap_mapping_range() actually takes a 'size' as its third
argument rather than a location, the current calling fashion causes
unnecessary amount of unmapping to occur.

On !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (like ia64) debug_pagealloc=1 implies
page_poison=on:
if (page_poisoning_enabled() ||
(!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) &&
debug_pagealloc_enabled()))
static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
page_poison=on needs to override init_on_free=1.
Before the change it did not work as expected for the following case:
- have PAGE_POISONING=y
- have page_poison unset
- have !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC arch (like ia64)
- have init_on_free=1
- have debug_pagealloc=1
That way we get both keys enabled:
- static_branch_enable(&init_on_free);
- static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
which leads to poisoned pages returned for __GFP_ZERO pages.
After the change we execute only:
- static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
and ignore init_on_free=1.

There are cases where the page_pool need to refill with pages from the
page allocator. Some workloads cause the page_pool to release pages
instead of recycling these pages.
For these workload it can improve performance to bulk alloc pages from the
page-allocator to refill the alloc cache.
For XDP-redirect workload with 100G mlx5 driver (that use page_pool)
redirecting xdp_frame packets into a veth, that does XDP_PASS to create an
SKB from the xdp_frame, which then cannot return the page to the
page_pool.
Performance results under GitHub xdp-project[1]:

Patch series "SUNRPC consumer for the bulk page allocator"
This patch set and the measurements below are based on yesterday's
bulk allocator series:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git mm-bulk-rebase-v5r9
The patches change SUNRPC to invoke the array-based bulk allocator
instead of alloc_page().
The micro-benchmark results are promising. I ran a mixture of 256KB
reads and writes over NFSv3. The server's kernel is built with KASAN
enabled, so the comparison is exaggerated but I believe it is still
valid.
I instrumented svc_recv() to measure the latency of each call to
svc_alloc_arg() and report it via a trace point. The following results
are averages across the trace events.
Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls
Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls
Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls
This patch (of 2)
Refactor:
I'm about to use the loop variable @i for something else.
As far as the "i++" is concerned, that is a post-increment. The
value of @i is not used subsequently, so the increment operator
is unnecessary and can be removed.
Also note that nfsd_read_actor() was renamed nfsd_splice_actor()
by commit cf8208d0eabd ("sendfile: convert nfsd to
splice_direct_to_actor()").

Looking at perf-report and ASM-code for __alloc_pages_bulk() it is clear
that the code activated is suboptimal. The compiler guesses wrong and
places unlikely code at the beginning. Due to the use of WARN_ON_ONCE()
macro the UD2 asm instruction is added to the code, which confuse the
I-cache prefetcher in the CPU.

The proposed callers for the bulk allocator store pages from the bulk
allocator in an array. This patch adds an array-based interface to the
API to avoid multiple list iterations. The page list interface is
preserved to avoid requiring all users of the bulk API to allocate and
manage enough storage to store the pages.

This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and
__alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be
allocated and added to a list.
The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and
may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the
cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail
an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if
necessary.
Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be
improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it
available early to determine what semantics are required by different
callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

Patch series "Introduce a bulk order-0 page allocator with two in-tree users", v6.
This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the
network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not
efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other
semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that,
this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an
operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator. Quoting the
last patch for the high-speed networking use-case
Kernel XDP stats CPU pps Delta
Baseline XDP-RX CPU total 3,771,046 n/a
List XDP-RX CPU total 3,940,242 +4.49%
Array XDP-RX CPU total 4,249,224 +12.68%
Via the SUNRPC traces of svc_alloc_arg()

Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls
Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls
Both potential users in this series are corner cases (NFS and high-speed
networks) so it is unlikely that most users will see any benefit in the
short term. Other potential other users are batch allocations for page
cache readahead, fault around and SLUB allocations when high-order pages
are unavailable. It's unknown how much benefit would be seen by
converting multiple page allocation calls to a single batch or what
difference it may make to headline performance.
Light testing of my own running dbench over NFS passed. Chuck and Jesper
conducted their own tests and details are included in the changelogs.

This patch (of 9):
Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced"
being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name
"alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc
tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated.
To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated in
rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar names
when the bulk allocator is introduced.
