[ Upstream commit 9c2af1c7377a8a6ef86e5cabf80978f3dbbb25c0 ]

If Make gets a fatal signal while a shell is executing, it may delete
the target file that the recipe was supposed to update.  This is needed
to make sure that it is remade from scratch when Make is next run; if
Make is interrupted after the recipe has begun to write the target file,
it results in an incomplete file whose time stamp is newer than that
of the prerequisites files.  Make automatically deletes the incomplete
file on interrupt unless the target is marked .PRECIOUS.

The situation is just the same as when the shell fails for some reasons.
Usually when a recipe line fails, if it has changed the target file at
all, the file is corrupted, or at least it is not completely updated.
Yet the file’s time stamp says that it is now up to date, so the next
time Make runs, it will not try to update that file.

However, Make does not cater to delete the incomplete target file in
this case.  We need to add .DELETE_ON_ERROR somewhere in the Makefile
to request it.

scripts/Kbuild.include seems a suitable place to add it because it is
included from almost all sub-makes.

Please note .DELETE_ON_ERROR is not effective for phony targets.

The external module building should never ever touch the kernel tree.
The following recipe fails if include/generated/autoconf.h is missing.
However, include/config/auto.conf is not deleted since it is a phony
target.

 PHONY += include/config/auto.conf

 include/config/auto.conf:
         $(Q)test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e $@ || (          \
         echo &gt;&amp;2;                                                       \
         echo &gt;&amp;2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";           \
         echo &gt;&amp;2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or $@ are missing.";\
         echo &gt;&amp;2 "         Run 'make oldconfig &amp;&amp; make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
         echo &gt;&amp;2 ;                                                      \
         /bin/false)

<title>kbuild: make missing $DEPMOD a Warning instead of an Error</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f9acfbec6652b971930e9423894d33c85230e8ac</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 914b087ff9e0e9a399a4927fa30793064afc0178 upstream.

When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting
with an error message and error status:

Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it.
This is probably in the kmod package.

Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross
compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working
port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod."

I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the
loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and
then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run
instead of it being run on the build system.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 512ddf7d7db056edfed3159ea7cb4e4a5eefddd4 ]

If coccicheck fails, it should return an error code distinct from zero
to signal about an internal problem. Current code instead of exiting with
the tool's error code returns the error code of 'echo "coccicheck failed"'
which is almost always equals to zero, thus failing the original intention
of alerting about a problem. This patch fixes the code.

commit 673bb2dfc36488abfdbbfc2ce2631204eaf682f2 upstream.

Commit 701b3a3c0ac4 ("PATCH scripts/kernel-doc") fixed the two
instances of literal braces that Perl 5.28 warns about, but there are
still more than it doesn't warn about.

Escape all left braces that are treated as literal characters.  Also
escape literal right braces, for consistency and to avoid confusing
bracket-matching in text editors.

Verify that 'depmod' ($DEPMOD) is installed.
This is a partial revert of commit 620c231c7a7f

Also update Documentation/process/changes.rst to refer to
kmod instead of module-init-tools.

With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy.  GCC started to complain
about things like &amp;a-&gt;b, where 'a' is NULL pointer.  There is no NULL
dereference, we just calculate address to struct member.  It's
technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it.  But as
long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.

-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
consequences.  So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
for us.  If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash.  Even if
userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
SMAP should catch the issue.
