Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.
The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
plus beta, plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.
In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].
I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support several Rust toolchain versions.
- Support several bindgen versions.
- Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.
- Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.
- Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.
- Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
macro.
'macros' crate:
- Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.
- Improve 'module!' macro documentation.
Documentation:
- Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.
- Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.
- Explain '#[no_std]'.
And a few other small bits"

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates.
Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages:
* The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and
bootloader configuration
* Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks
* New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping
The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the
downstream Arch Linux "linux" package.
Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have
been removed and an UAPI header package has been added.

Kbuild provides scripts/Makefile.host to build host programs used for
building the kernel. Unfortunately, there are two exceptions that opt
out of Kbuild. The build system under tools/ is a cheesy replica, and
cause issues. I was recently poked about a problem in the tools build
system, which I do not maintain (and nobody maintains). [1]
Without a comment, people might believe this is the right location
because that is where objtool lives, even if a more robust Kbuild
syntax satisfies their needs. [2]

RHEL/CentOS 7, popular distributions that install GNU Make 3.82, reached
EOM/EOL on June 30, 2024. While you may get extended support, it is a
good time to raise the minimum GNU Make version.
The new requirement, GNU Make 4.0, was released in October, 2013.

requirements for building tools. I do not find any GNU Make version

There are 11 copies of arch/*/kernel/syscalls/Makefile that all implement
the same basic logic in a somewhat awkward way.
I tried out various ways of unifying the existing copies and ended up
with something that hooks into the logic for generating the redirections
to asm-generic headers. This gives a nicer syntax of being able to list
the generated files in $(syscall-y) inside of arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
instead of both $(generated-y) in that place and also in another
Makefile.
The configuration for which syscall.tbl file to use and which ABIs to
enable is now done in arch/*/kernel/Makefile.syscalls. I have done
patches for all architectures and made sure that the new generic
rules implement a superset of all the architecture specific corner
cases.
ince the header file is not specific to asm-generic/*.h redirects
now, I ended up renaming the file to scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.

All Clippy lint groups that we enable, except `correctness`, have a
default `warn` level, thus they may be removed now that we relaxed all
lints to `warn`.
Moreover, Clippy provides an `all` lint group that covers the groups
we enable by default. Thus just use `all` instead -- the only change is
that, if Clippy introduces a new lint group or splits an existing one,
we will cover that one automatically.
In addition, `let_unit_value` is in `style` since Rust 1.62.0, thus it
does not need to be enabled manually.

Since we are starting to support several Rust toolchains, lints (including
Clippy ones) now may behave differently and lint groups may include
new lints.
Therefore, to maximize the chances a given version works, relax some
deny-level lints to warnings. It may also make our lives a bit easier
while developing new code or refactoring.
To be clear, the requirements for in-tree code are still the same, since
Rust code still needs to be warning-free (patches should be clean under
`WERROR=y`) and the set of lints is not changed.
`unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` is left unmodified, i.e. as an error, since it is
becoming the default in the language (warn-by-default in Rust 2024 [1] and
ideally an error later on) and thus it should also be very well tested. In
addition, it is simple enough that it should not have false positives
(unlike e.g. `rust_2018_idioms`'s `explicit_outlives_requirements`).
`non_ascii_idents` is left unmodified as well, i.e. as an error, since
it is unlikely one gains any productivity during development if it
were a warning (in fact, it may be worse, since it is likely one made
a typo). In addition, it should not have false positives.
Finally, put the two `-D` ones at the top and take the chance to do one
per line.

1) Provide a better error message for the "Rust not available" case.
Without this patch, one gets various misleading messages, such as:
"No rule to make target 'rust-analyzer'"
Instead, run scripts/rust_is_available.sh directly, as a prerequisite,
and let that script report the cause of any problems, as well as
providing a link to the documentation. Thanks to Miguel Ojeda for the
idea of just letting rust_is_available.sh report its results directly.
The new output in the failure case looks like this:

Since we dropped our custom `alloc` in commit 9d0441bab775 ("rust: alloc:
remove our fork of the `alloc` crate"), there is no need anymore to keep
the custom sysroot hack.
Thus delete it, which makes the target way simpler and faster too.
This also means we are not using Cargo for anything at the moment,
and that no download is required anymore, so update the main `Makefile`
and the documentation accordingly.

Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run
floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names,
header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.
provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

Currently, Kbuild produces inconsistent results in some cases.
You can do an interesting experiment using the --shuffle option, which
is supported by GNU Make 4.4 or later.
Set CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y and CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m (or vice versa), and repeat
incremental builds w/wo --shuffle=reverse.
$ make
[ snip ]
CC arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s
$ make --shuffle=reverse
[ snip ]
CC [M] arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s
$ make
[ snip ]
CC arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s
arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is rebuilt every time w/wo the [M] marker.
arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as built-in when it is built as
a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.o, which is built-in.
arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as modular when it is built as
a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.o, which is a module.
Another odd example is single target builds.
When CONFIG_LKDTM=m, drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o can be built as
built-in or modular, depending on how it is built.
$ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.o
[ snip ]
CC [M] drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
$ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
[ snip ]
CC drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o is built as modular when it is built as a
prerequisite of another, but built as built-in when it is a final
target.
The same thing happens to drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s when
CONFIG_TI_EMIF_SRAM=m.
$ make drivers/memory/ti-emif-sram.o
[ snip ]
CC [M] drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
$ make drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
[ snip ]
CC drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
This is because the part-of-module=y flag defined for the modules is
inherited by its prerequisites.
Target-specific variables are likely intended only for local use.
This commit adds 'private' to them.

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:
src := $(obj)
When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.
This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:
$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

There is an issue in clang's ThinLTO caching (enabled for the kernel via
'--thinlto-cache-dir') with .incbin, which the kernel occasionally uses
to include data within the kernel, such as the .config file for
/proc/config.gz. For example, when changing the .config and rebuilding
vmlinux, the copy of .config in vmlinux does not match the copy of
.config in the build folder:
$ echo 'CONFIG_LTO_NONE=n
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y
CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y' >kernel/configs/repro.config
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 clean defconfig repro.config vmlinux
...
$ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
$ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
$ scripts/config -d HEADERS_INSTALL
$ make -kj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 vmlinux
...
UPD kernel/config_data
GZIP kernel/config_data.gz
CC kernel/configs.o
...
LD vmlinux
...
$ grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL .config
# CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL is not set
$ scripts/extract-ikconfig vmlinux | grep CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL
CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y
Without '--thinlto-cache-dir' or when using full LTO, this issue does
not occur.
Benchmarking incremental builds on a few different machines with and
without the cache shows a 20% increase in incremental build time without
the cache when measured by touching init/main.c and running 'make all'.
ARCH=arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y on an arm64 host:

While it is unfortunate to take this performance improvement off the
table, correctness is more important. If/when this is fixed in LLVM, it
can potentially be brought back in a conditional manner. Alternatively,
a developer can just disable LTO if doing incremental compiles quickly
is important, as a full compile cycle can still take over a minute even
with the cache and it is unlikely that LTO will result in functional
differences for a kernel change.

Running dtbs_check and dt_compatible_check targets really only depend
on processed-schema.json, but the dependency is 'dt_binding_check'. That
was sort worked around with the CHECK_DT_BINDING variable in order to
skip some of the work that 'dt_binding_check' does. It still runs the
full checks of the schemas which is not necessary and adds 10s of
seconds to the build time. That's significant when checking only a few
DTBs and with recent changes that have improved the validation time by
6-7x.
Add a new target, dt_binding_schema, which just builds
processed-schema.json and can be used as the dependency for other
targets. The scripts_dtc dependency isn't needed either as the examples
aren't built for it.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The major features are support for LPA2 (52-bit VA/PA with 4K and 16K
pages), the dpISA extension and Rust enabled on arm64. The changes are
mostly contained within the usual arch/arm64/, drivers/perf, the arm64
Documentation and kselftests. The exception is the Rust support which
touches some generic build files.
Summary:
- Reorganise the arm64 kernel VA space and add support for LPA2 (at
stage 1, KVM stage 2 was merged earlier) - 52-bit VA/PA address
range with 4KB and 16KB pages
- Enable Rust on arm64
- Support for the 2023 dpISA extensions (data processing ISA), host
only
- arm64 perf updates:
- StarFive's StarLink (integrates one or more CPU cores with a
shared L3 memory system) PMU support
- Enable HiSilicon Erratum 162700402 quirk for HIP09
- Several updates for the HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver
- Arm CoreSight PMU support
- Convert all drivers under drivers/perf/ to use .remove_new()
- Miscellaneous:
- Don't enable workarounds for "rare" errata by default
- Clean up the DAIF flags handling for EL0 returns (in preparation
for NMI support)
- Kselftest update for ptrace()
- Update some of the sysreg field definitions
- Slight improvement in the code generation for inline asm I/O
accessors to permit offset addressing
- kretprobes: acquire regs via a BRK exception (previously done
via a trampoline handler)
- SVE/SME cleanups, comment updates
- Allow CALL_OPS+CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE with clang (previously
disabled due to gcc silently ignoring -falign-functions=N)"

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Another routine one in terms of features. We got two version upgrades
this time, but in terms of lines, 'alloc' changes are not very large.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Upgrade to Rust 1.76.0
This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have
aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove
two more unstable features ('const_maybe_uninit_zeroed' and
'ptr_metadata') from the list, among other improvements
- Mark 'rustc' (and others) invocations as recursive, which fixes a
new warning and prepares us for the future in case we eventually
take advantage of the Make jobserver
'kernel' crate:
- Add the 'container_of!' macro
- Stop using the unstable 'ptr_metadata' feature by employing the now
stable 'byte_sub' method to implement 'Arc::from_raw()'
- Add the 'time' module with a 'msecs_to_jiffies()' conversion
function to begin with, to be used by Rust Binder
- Add 'notify_sync()' and 'wait_interruptible_timeout()' methods to
'CondVar', to be used by Rust Binder
- Update integer types for 'CondVar'
- Rename 'wait_list' field to 'wait_queue_head' in 'CondVar'
- Implement 'Display' and 'Debug' for 'BStr'
- Add the 'try_from_foreign()' method to the 'ForeignOwnable' trait
- Add reexports for macros so that they can be used from the right
module (in addition to the root)
- A series of code documentation improvements, including adding
intra-doc links, consistency improvements, typo fixes...
'macros' crate:
- Place generated 'init_module()' function in '.init.text'
Documentation:
- Add documentation on Rust doctests and how they work"

Commit 25b146c5b8ce ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory")
exported abs_srctree and abs_objtree to avoid recomputation after the
sub-make. However, this approach turned out to be fragile.
Commit 5fa94ceb793e ("kbuild: set correct abs_srctree and abs_objtree
for package builds") moved them above "ifneq ($(sub_make_done),1)",
eliminating the need for exporting them.
These are only needed in the top Makefile. If an absolute path is
required in sub-directories, you can use $(abspath ) or $(realpath )
as needed.

Commit 3b9ab248bc45 ("kbuild: use 4-space indentation when followed
by conditionals") introduced inconsistent indentation because it
deliberately touched only the conditional directives to minimize the
change set.
This commit reformats some blocks in the top Makefile so they are
consistently indented with 4 spaces.

`rustc` (like Cargo) may take advantage of the jobserver at any time
(e.g. for backend parallelism, or eventually frontend too). In the kernel,
we call `rustc` with `-Ccodegen-units=1` (and `-Zthreads` is 1 so far),
so we do not expect parallelism. However, in the upcoming Rust 1.76.0, a
warning is emitted by `rustc` [1] when it cannot connect to the jobserver
it was passed (in many cases, but not all: compiling and `--print sysroot`
do, but `--version` does not). And given GNU Make always passes
the jobserver in the environment variable (even when a line is deemed
non-recursive), `rustc` will end up complaining about it (in particular
in Make 4.3 where there is only the simple pipe jobserver style).
One solution is to remove the jobserver from `MAKEFLAGS`. However, we
can mark the lines with calls to `rustc` (and Cargo) as recursive, which
looks simpler. This is being documented as a recommendation in `rustc`
[2] and allows us to be ready for the time we may use parallelism inside
`rustc` (potentially now, if a user passes `-Zthreads`). Thus do so.
Similarly, do the same for `rustdoc` and `cargo` calls.
Finally, there is one case that the solution does not cover, which is the
`$(shell ...)` call we have. Thus, for that one, set an empty `MAKEFLAGS`
environment variable.

GCC recently added option -fmin-function-alignment, which should appear
in GCC 14. Unlike -falign-functions, this option causes all functions to
be aligned at the specified value, including the cold ones.
In particular, when an arm64 kernel is built with
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y, the 8-byte function alignment is
required for correct functionality. This was done by -falign-functions=8
and having workarounds in the kernel to force the compiler to follow
this alignment. The new -fmin-function-alignment option directly
guarantees it.
Detect availability of -fmin-function-alignment and use it instead of
-falign-functions when present. Introduce CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT
and enable __cold to work as expected when it is set.
