<id>urn:sha1:7498159226772d66f150dd406be462d75964a366</id>
<content type='text'>
Starting with Rust 1.89.0 (expected 2025-08-07), the Rust compiler fails
to build the `rusttest` target due to undefined references such as:

    kernel...-cgu.0:(.text....+0x116): undefined reference to
    `rust_helper_kunit_get_current_test'

Moreover, tooling like `modpost` gets confused:

    WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/gpu/drm/nova/nova.o
    ERROR: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/gpu/nova-core/nova_core.o

The reason behind both issues is that the Rust compiler will now [1]
treat `#[used]` as `#[used(linker)]` instead of `#[used(compiler)]`
for our targets. This means that the retain section flag (`R`,
`SHF_GNU_RETAIN`) will be used and that they will be marked as `unique`
too, with different IDs. In turn, that means we end up with undefined
references that did not get discarded in `rusttest` and that multiple
`.modinfo` sections are generated, which confuse tooling like `modpost`
because they only expect one.

Thus start using `#[used(compiler)]` to keep the previous behavior
and to be explicit about what we want. Sadly, it is an unstable feature
(`used_with_arg`) [2] -- we will talk to upstream Rust about it. The good
news is that it has been available for a long time (Rust &gt;= 1.60) [3].

The changes should also be fine for previous Rust versions, since they
behave the same way as before [4].

Alternatively, we could use `#[no_mangle]` or `#[export_name = ...]`
since those still behave like `#[used(compiler)]`, but of course it is
not really what we want to express, and it requires other changes to
avoid symbol conflicts.

d_shortname of struct dentry only reserves D_NAME_INLINE_LEN characters
and contains garbage for longer names.  Use d_name instead, which always
references the valid name.

<title>scripts/gdb: de-reference per-CPU MCE interrupts</title>

The per-CPU MCE interrupts are looked up by reference and need to be
de-referenced before printing, otherwise we print the addresses of the
variables instead of their contents:

MCE: 18379471554386948492   Machine check exceptions
MCP: 18379471554386948488   Machine check polls

The corrected output looks like this instead now:

MCE:          0   Machine check exceptions
MCP:          1   Machine check polls

<title>scripts/gdb: fix interrupts.py after maple tree conversion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a02b0cde8ee515ee0c8efd33e7fbe6830c282e69</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 721255b9826b ("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor
management"), the irq_desc_tree was replaced with a sparse_irqs tree using
a maple tree structure.  Since the script looked for the irq_desc_tree
symbol which is no longer available, no interrupts would be printed and
the script output would not be useful anymore.

In addition to looking up the correct symbol (sparse_irqs), a new module
(mapletree.py) is added whose mtree_load() implementation is largely
copied after the C version and uses the same variable and intermediate
function names wherever possible to ensure that both the C and Python
version be updated in the future.

This restores the scripts' output to match that of /proc/interrupts.

The "d_iname" member was replaced with "d_shortname.string" in the commit
referenced in the Fixes tag.  This prevented the GDB script "lx-mount"

<id>urn:sha1:2f6b47b295518c3ba16fabb1dddbe6a319899acb</id>
<content type='text'>
As we always iterate through the entire die_map when expanding
type strings, recursively processing referenced types in
type_expand_child() is not actually necessary. Furthermore,
the type_string kABI rule added in commit c9083467f7b9
("gendwarfksyms: Add a kABI rule to override type strings") can
fail to override type strings for structures due to a missing
kabi_get_type_string() check in this function.

Fix the issue by dropping the unnecessary recursion and moving
the override check to type_expand(). Note that symbol versions
are otherwise unchanged with this patch.
