<title>kbuild: Add '-fno-builtin-wcslen'</title>

commit 84ffc79bfbf70c779e60218563f2f3ad45288671 upstream.

A recent optimization change in LLVM [1] aims to transform certain loop
idioms into calls to strlen() or wcslen(). This change transforms the
first while loop in UniStrcat() into a call to wcslen(), breaking the
build when UniStrcat() gets inlined into alloc_path_with_tree_prefix():

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: wcslen
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)

Disable this optimization with '-fno-builtin-wcslen', which prevents the
compiler from assuming that wcslen() is available in the kernel's C
library.

[ More to the point - it's not that we couldn't implement wcslen(), it's
  that this isn't an optimization at all in the context of the kernel.

  Replacing a simple inlined loop with a function call to the same loop
  is just stupid and pointless if you don't have long strings and fancy
  libraries with vectorization support etc.

  For the regular 'strlen()' cases, we want the compiler to do this in
  order to handle the trivial case of constant strings. And we do have
  optimized versions of 'strlen()' on some architectures. But for
  wcslen? Just no.    - Linus ]

<title>rust: disable `clippy::needless_continue`</title>

<id>urn:sha1:baf02dd01e75314a6b1e60a53f30fdb64397d636</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0866ee8e50f017731b80891294c0edd0f5fcd0a9 upstream.

Starting with Rust 1.86.0, Clippy's `needless_continue` lint complains
about the last statement of a loop [1], including cases like:

    while ... {
        match ... {
            ... if ... =&gt; {
                ...
                return ...;
            }
            _ =&gt; continue,
        }
    }

as well as nested `match`es in a loop.

One solution is changing `continue` for `()` [2], but arguably using
`continue` shows the intent better when it is alone in an arm like that.

Moreover, I am not sure we want to force people to try to find other
ways to write the code either, in cases when that applies.

In addition, the help text does not really apply in the new cases the
lint has introduced, e.g. here one cannot simply "drop" the expression:

    warning: this `continue` expression is redundant
      --&gt; rust/macros/helpers.rs:85:18
       |
    85 |             _ =&gt; continue,
       |                  ^^^^^^^^
       |
       = help: consider dropping the `continue` expression
       = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_continue
       = note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::needless-continue`

The examples in the documentation do not show a case like this, either,
so the second "help" line does not help.

In addition, locally disabling the lint is not possible with `expect`,
since the behavior differs across versions. Using `allow` would be
possible, but, even then, an extra line just for this is a bit too much,
especially if there are other ways to satisfy the lint.

Finally, the lint is still in the "pedantic" category and disabled by
default by Clippy.

Thus disable the lint, at least for the time being.

Feedback was submitted to upstream Clippy, in case this can be improved
or perhaps the lint split into several [3].
