commit f92a59f6d12e31ead999fee9585471b95a8ae8a3 upstream.

For ${atomic}_sub_and_test() the @i parameter is the value to subtract,
not add. Fix the typo in the kerneldoc template and generate the headers
with this update.

<title>kconfig: fix comparison to constant symbols, 'm', 'n'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c3438b829f46f9af4c9ed16f13a1eb075eb25f7f</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit aabdc960a283ba78086b0bf66ee74326f49e218e ]

Currently, comparisons to 'm' or 'n' result in incorrect output.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate m

    config B
            def_bool A &gt; n

CONFIG_B is unset, while CONFIG_B=y is expected.

The reason for the issue is because Kconfig compares the tristate values
as strings.

Currently, the .type fields in the constant symbol definitions,
symbol_{yes,mod,no} are unspecified, i.e., S_UNKNOWN.

When expr_calc_value() evaluates 'A &gt; n', it checks the types of 'A' and
'n' to determine how to compare them.

The left-hand side, 'A', is a tristate symbol with a value of 'm', which
corresponds to a numeric value of 1. (Internally, 'y', 'm', and 'n' are
represented as 2, 1, and 0, respectively.)

The right-hand side, 'n', has an unknown type, so it is treated as the
string "n" during the comparison.

expr_calc_value() compares two values numerically only when both can
have numeric values. Otherwise, they are compared as strings.

    symbol    numeric value    ASCII code
    -------------------------------------
      y           2             0x79
      m           1             0x6d
      n           0             0x6e

'm' is greater than 'n' if compared numerically (since 1 is greater
than 0), but smaller than 'n' if compared as strings (since the ASCII
code 0x6d is smaller than 0x6e).

Specifying .type=S_TRISTATE for symbol_{yes,mod,no} fixes the above
test code.

Doing so, however, would cause a regression to the following test code.

[Test Code 2]

    config MODULES
            def_bool n
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate n

    config B
            def_bool A = m

You would get CONFIG_B=y, while CONFIG_B should not be set.

The reason is because sym_get_string_value() turns 'm' into 'n' when the
module feature is disabled. Consequently, expr_calc_value() evaluates
'A = n' instead of 'A = m'. This oddity has been hidden because the type
of 'm' was previously S_UNKNOWN instead of S_TRISTATE.

sym_get_string_value() should not tweak the string because the tristate
value has already been correctly calculated. There is no reason to
return the string "n" where its tristate value is mod.

Citing Andy Lutomirski from commit dda1e95cee38 ("x86/vdso: Create
.build-id links for unstripped vdso files"):

"With this change, doing 'make vdso_install' and telling gdb:

set debug-file-directory /lib/modules/KVER/vdso

will enable vdso debugging with symbols.  This is useful for
testing, but kernel RPM builds will probably want to manually delete
these symlinks or otherwise do something sensible when they strip
the vdso/*.so files."

<content type='text'>
If one attempts to build an essentially empty file somewhere in the
kernel tree, it leads to a build error because the compiler does not
recognize the `new_uninit` unstable feature:

    error[E0635]: unknown feature `new_uninit`
     --&gt; &lt;crate attribute&gt;:1:9
      |
    1 | feature(new_uninit)
      |         ^^^^^^^^^^

The reason is that we pass `-Zcrate-attr='feature(new_uninit)'` (together
with `-Zallow-features=new_uninit`) to let non-`rust/` code use that
unstable feature.

However, the compiler only recognizes the feature if the `alloc` crate
is resolved (the feature is an `alloc` one). `--extern alloc`, which we
pass, is not enough to resolve the crate.

Introducing a reference like `use alloc;` or `extern crate alloc;`
solves the issue, thus this is not seen in normal files. For instance,
`use`ing the `kernel` prelude introduces such a reference, since `alloc`
is used inside.

While normal use of the build system is not impacted by this, it can still
be fairly confusing for kernel developers [1], thus use the unstable
`force` option of `--extern` [2] (added in Rust 1.71 [3]) to force the
compiler to resolve `alloc`.

This new unstable feature is only needed meanwhile we use the other
unstable feature, since then we will not need `-Zcrate-attr`.

The .head.text section carries the startup code that runs with the MMU
off or with a translation of memory that deviates from the ordinary one.
So avoid instrumentation with the stackleak plugin, which already avoids
.init.text and .noinstr.text entirely.
