[ Upstream commit dce4aab8441d285b9a78b33753e0bf583c1320ee ]

GCC 15 introduces a regression in "= { 0 }" style initialization of
unions that Linux has depended on for eliminating uninitialized variable
contents. GCC does not seem likely to fix it[1], instead suggesting[2]
that affected projects start using -fzero-init-padding-bits=unions.

To avoid future surprises beyond just the current situation with unions,
enable -fzero-init-padding-bits=all when available (GCC 15+). This will
correctly zero padding bits in unions and structs that might have been
left uninitialized, and will make sure there is no immediate regression
in union initializations. As seen in the stackinit KUnit selftest union
cases, which were passing before, were failing under GCC 15:

    not ok 18 test_small_start_old_zero
    ok 29 test_small_start_dynamic_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
    ok 32 test_small_start_assigned_dynamic_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
    ok 67 test_small_start_static_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
    ok 70 test_small_start_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
    ok 73 test_small_start_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
    ok 82 test_small_start_assigned_static_partial # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 63
    ok 85 test_small_start_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56
    ok 88 test_small_start_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 56

The above all now pass again with -fzero-init-padding-bits=all added.

This also fixes the following cases for struct initialization that had
been XFAIL until now because there was no compiler support beyond the
larger "-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero" option:

    ok 38 test_small_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
    ok 39 test_big_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
    ok 40 test_trailing_hole_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
    ok 42 test_small_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
    ok 43 test_big_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
    ok 44 test_trailing_hole_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
    ok 58 test_small_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
    ok 59 test_big_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
    ok 60 test_trailing_hole_assigned_static_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7
    ok 62 test_small_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 3
    ok 63 test_big_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 124
    ok 64 test_trailing_hole_assigned_dynamic_all # SKIP XFAIL uninit bytes: 7

All of the above now pass when built under GCC 15. Tests can be seen
with:

    ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run stackinit --arch=x86_64 \
        --make_option CC=gcc-15

Clang continues to fully initialize these kinds of variables[3] without
additional flags.

[ Upstream commit 1f937a4bcb0472015818f30f4d3c5546d3f09933 ]

merge_config does not respect the Make's -s (--silent) option.

Let's sink the stdout from merge_config for silent builds.

This commit does not cater to the direct invocation of merge_config.sh
(e.g. arch/mips/Makefile).

[ Upstream commit 738fc998b639407346a9e026514f0562301462cd ]

Clang's -Wformat-overflow and -Wformat-truncation have chosen to check
'%p' unlike GCC but it does not know about the kernel's pointer
extensions in lib/vsprintf.c, so the developers split that part of the
warning out for the kernel to disable because there will always be false
positives.

Commit 908dd508276d ("kbuild: enable -Wformat-truncation on clang") did
disabled these warnings but only in a block that would be called when
W=1 was not passed, so they would appear with W=1. Move the disabling of
the non-kprintf warnings to a block that always runs so that they are
never seen, regardless of warning level.

which lets the right-shift always return 0.

commit 6273a058383e05465083b535ed9469f2c8a48321 upstream.

When using Rust on the x86 architecture, we are currently using the
unstable target.json feature to specify the compilation target. Rustc is
going to change how softfloat is specified in the target.json file on
x86, thus update generate_rust_target.rs to specify softfloat using the
new option.

Note that if you enable this parameter with a compiler that does not
recognize it, then that triggers a warning but it does not break the
build.

[ For future reference, this solves the following error:

        RUSTC L rust/core.o
      error: Error loading target specification: target feature
      `soft-float` is incompatible with the ABI but gets enabled in
      target spec. Run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of
      built-in targets

<title>kbuild: Move -Wenum-enum-conversion to W=2</title>

commit 8f6629c004b193d23612641c3607e785819e97ab upstream.

-Wenum-enum-conversion was strengthened in clang-19 to warn for C, which
caused the kernel to move it to W=1 in commit 75b5ab134bb5 ("kbuild:
Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1") because
there were numerous instances that would break builds with -Werror.
Unfortunately, this is not a full solution, as more and more developers,
subsystems, and distributors are building with W=1 as well, so they
continue to see the numerous instances of this warning.

Since the move to W=1, there have not been many new instances that have
appeared through various build reports and the ones that have appeared
seem to be following similar existing patterns, suggesting that most
instances of this warning will not be real issues. The only alternatives
for silencing this warning are adding casts (which is generally seen as
an ugly practice) or refactoring the enums to macro defines or a unified
enum (which may be undesirable because of type safety in other parts of
the code).

Move the warning to W=2, where warnings that occur frequently but may be
relevant should reside.

Since commit bede169618c6 ("kbuild: enable objtool for *.mod.o and
additional kernel objects"), Clang LTO builds do not perform any
optimizations when CONFIG_OBJTOOL is disabled (e.g., for ARCH=arm64).
This is because every LLVM bitcode file is immediately converted to
ELF format before the object files are linked together.

This commit fixes the breakage.

[ Upstream commit a314f52a0210730d0d556de76bb7388e76d4597d ]

Most 'make *config' commands use .config as the base configuration file.

When .config does not exist, Kconfig tries to load a file listed in
KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST instead.

However, since commit b75b0a819af9 ("kconfig: change defconfig_list
option to environment variable"), warning messages have displayed an
incorrect file name in such cases.

Below is a demonstration using Debian Trixie. While loading
/boot/config-6.12.9-amd64, the warning messages incorrectly show .config
as the file name.

With this commit, the correct file name is displayed in warnings.

[Before]

  $ rm -f .config
  $ make config
  #
  # using defaults found in /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64
  #
  .config:6804:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for FB_BACKLIGHT
  .config:9895:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for ANDROID_BINDER_IPC

[After]

  $ rm -f .config
  $ make config
  #
  # using defaults found in /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64
  #
  /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64:6804:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for FB_BACKLIGHT

When running the sign script the kernel is within the source directory
of external modules. This caused issues when the kernel uses relative
paths, like:

make[5]: Entering directory '/build/client/devel/kernel/work/linux-2.6'

/bin/sh: 1: scripts/sign-file: not found
   DEPMOD  /build/client/devel/addmodules/vtx/_/lib/modules/6.13.0-devel+
