commit be358af1191b1b2fedebd8f3421cafdc8edacc7d upstream.

I received a build failure for a new patch I'm working on the nds32
architecture, and when I went to test it, I couldn't get to my build error,
because it failed to build with a bunch of:

  Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `^'

issues with various files. Those files were temporary asm files that looked
like:  kernel/.tmp_mc_fork.s

I decided to look deeper, and found that the "mc" portion of that name
stood for "mcount", and was created by the recordmcount.pl script. One that
I wrote over a decade ago. Once I knew the source of the problem, I was
able to investigate it further.

The way the recordmcount.pl script works (BTW, there's a C version that
simply modifies the ELF object) is by doing an "objdump" on the object
file. Looks for all the calls to "mcount", and creates an offset of those
locations from some global variable it can use (usually a global function
name, found with &lt;.*&gt;:). Creates a asm file that is a table of references
to these locations, using the found variable/function. Compiles it and
links it back into the original object file. This asm file is called
".tmp_mc_&lt;object_base_name&gt;.s".

The problem here is that the objdump produced by the nds32 object file,
contains things that look like:

 0000159a &lt;.L3^B1&gt;:
    159a:       c6 00           beqz38 $r6, 159a &lt;.L3^B1&gt;
                        159a: R_NDS32_9_PCREL_RELA      .text+0x159e
    159c:       84 d2           movi55 $r6, #-14
    159e:       80 06           mov55 $r0, $r6
    15a0:       ec 3c           addi10.sp #0x3c

Where ".L3^B1 is somehow selected as the "global" variable to index off of.

Then the assembly file that holds the mcount locations looks like this:

        .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
        .align 2
        .long .L3^B1 + -5522
        .long .L3^B1 + -5384
        .long .L3^B1 + -5270
        .long .L3^B1 + -5098
        .long .L3^B1 + -4970
        .long .L3^B1 + -4758
        .long .L3^B1 + -4122
        [...]

And when it is compiled back to an object to link to the original object,
the compile fails on the "^" symbol.

Simple solution for now, is to have the perl script ignore using function
symbols that have an "^" in the name.

[ Upstream commit 52d83df682c82055961531853c066f4f16e234ea ]

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, I see some warnings like this:

  nm: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/note.o: no symbols

$NM (both GNU nm and llvm-nm) warns when no symbol is found in the
object. Suppress the stderr.

Fangrui Song mentioned binutils&gt;=2.37 `nm -q` can be used to suppress
"no symbols" [1], and llvm-nm&gt;=13.0.0 supports -q as well.

We cannot use it for now, but note it as a TODO.

commit 1c0cec64a7cc545eb49f374a43e9f7190a14defa upstream.

Since commit 77271ce4b2c0 ("tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info
to default trace output"), the default trace output format has been changed to:
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [009] d.h. 22420.068695: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave &lt;-hrtimer_interrupt

          migration/0-6     [000]    50.025820: debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled &lt;-__schedule

The draw_functrace.py(introduced in v2.6.28) can't parse the new version format trace_func,
So we need modify draw_functrace.py to adapt the new version trace output format.

<title>kbuild: mkcompile_h: consider timestamp if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is set</title>

[ Upstream commit a979522a1a88556e42a22ce61bccc58e304cb361 ]

To avoid unnecessary recompilations, mkcompile_h does not regenerate
compile.h if just the timestamp changed.
Though, if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is set, an explicit timestamp for the
build was requested, in which case we should not ignore it.

If a user follows the documentation for reproducible builds [1] and
defines KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP as the git commit timestamp, a clean
build will have the correct timestamp. A subsequent cherry-pick (or
amend) changes the commit timestamp and if an incremental build is done
with a different KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP now, that new value is not taken
into consideration. But it should for reproducibility.

Hence, whenever KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is explicitly set, do not ignore
UTS_VERSION when making a decision about whether the regenerated version
of compile.h should be moved into place.

<title>kbuild: sink stdout from cmd for silent build</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 174a1dcc96429efce4ef7eb2f5c4506480da2182 ]

When building with 'make -s', no output to stdout should be printed.

As Arnd Bergmann reported [1], mkimage shows the detailed information
of the generated images.

I think this should be suppressed by the 'cmd' macro instead of by
individual scripts.

Insert 'exec &gt;/dev/null;' in order to redirect stdout to /dev/null for
silent builds.

[Note about this implementation]

'exec &gt;/dev/null;' may look somewhat tricky, but this has a reason.

Appending '&gt;/dev/null' at the end of command line is a common way for
redirection, so I first tried this:

  cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)) &gt;/dev/null

... but it would not work if $(cmd_$(1)) itself contains a redirection.

For example, cmd_wrap in scripts/Makefile.asm-generic redirects the
output from the 'echo' command into the target file.

It would be expanded into:

  echo "#include &lt;asm-generic/$*.h&gt;" &gt; $@ &gt;/dev/null

Then, the target file gets empty because the string will go to /dev/null
instead of $@.

Next, I tried this:

  cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) { $(cmd_$(1)); } &gt;/dev/null

The form above would be expanded into:

  { echo "#include &lt;asm-generic/$*.h&gt;" &gt; $@; } &gt;/dev/null

This works as expected. However, it would be a syntax error if
$(cmd_$(1)) is empty.

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled, $(call cmd,gen_ksymdeps) in
scripts/Makefile.build would be expanded into:

  set -e;  { ; } &gt;/dev/null

..., which causes an syntax error.

I also tried this:

  cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) ( $(cmd_$(1)) ) &gt;/dev/null

... but this causes a syntax error for the same reason.

So, finally I adopted:

  cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) exec &gt;/dev/null; $(cmd_$(1))

<title>kbuild: Fix objtool dependency for 'OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_&lt;obj&gt; := n'</title>

[ Upstream commit 8852c552402979508fdc395ae07aa8761aa46045 ]

"OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_vma.o := n" has a dependency bug.  When
objtool source is updated, the affected object doesn't get re-analyzed
by objtool.

Peter's new variable-sized jump label feature relies on objtool
rewriting the object file.  Otherwise the system can fail to boot.  That
effectively upgrades this minor dependency issue to a major bug.

The problem is that variables in prerequisites are expanded early,
during the read-in phase.  The '$(objtool_dep)' variable indirectly uses
'$@', which isn't yet available when the target prerequisites are
evaluated.

Use '.SECONDEXPANSION:' which causes '$(objtool_dep)' to be expanded in
a later phase, after the target-specific '$@' variable has been defined.

Since the pre-git time the checker is run first, before the compiler.
But if the source file contains some syntax error, the warnings from
the compiler are more useful than those from sparse (and other
checker most probably too).

So move the 'check' command to run after the compiler.

[ Upstream commit 27f2a4db76e8d8a8b601fc1c6a7a17f88bd907ab ]

GDB produces the following warning when debugging kernels built with
CONFIG_RELR:

BFD: /android0/linux-next/vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'

when loading a kernel built with CONFIG_RELR into GDB. It can also
prevent debugging symbols using such relocations.

Peter sugguests:
  [That flag] means that lld will use dynamic tags and section type
  numbers in the OS-specific range rather than the generic range. The
  kernel itself doesn't care about these numbers; it determines the
  location of the RELR section using symbols defined by a linker script.

One should only use st_shndx when &gt;SHN_UNDEF and &lt;SHN_LORESERVE. When
SHN_XINDEX, then use .symtab_shndx. Otherwise use 0.

This handles the case: st_shndx &gt;= SHN_LORESERVE &amp;&amp; st_shndx != SHN_XINDEX.

Some distributions are about to switch to Python 3 support only.
This means that /usr/bin/python, which is Python 2, is not available
anymore. Hence, switch scripts to use Python 3 explicitly.
