Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections.
For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module
and then linked into the module.
However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all
modules, internal and external.
Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is
compiled once and then linked into all modules.
This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c
through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING.
The modules are still relinked in this case.
The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file
instead of an inline string literal.

A long standing issue in the upstream kernel packaging is that the
linux-headers package is not cross-compiled.
For example, you can cross-build Debian packages for arm64 by running
the following command:
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg
However, the generated linux-headers-*_arm64.deb is useless because the
host programs in it were built for your build machine architecture
(likely x86), not arm64.
The Debian kernel maintains its own Makefiles to cross-compile host
tools without relying on Kbuild. [1]
Instead of adding such full custom Makefiles, this commit adds a small
piece of code to cross-compile host programs located under the scripts/
directory.
A straightforward solution is to pass HOSTCC=${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc, but it
would also cross-compile scripts/basic/fixdep, which needs to be native
to process the if_changed_dep macro. (This approach may work under some
circumstances; you can execute foreign architecture programs with the
help of binfmt_misc because Debian systems enable CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC,
but it would require installing QEMU and libc for that architecture.)
A trick is to use the external module build (KBUILD_EXTMOD=), which
does not rebuild scripts/basic/fixdep. ${CC} needs to be able to link
userspace programs (CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y).
There are known limitations:
- GCC plugins
It would possible to rebuild GCC plugins for the target architecture
by passing HOSTCXX=${CROSS_COMPILE}g++ with necessary packages
installed, but gcc on the installed system emits
"cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions".
- objtool and resolve_btfids
These are built by the tools build system. They are not covered by
the current solution. The resulting linux-headers package is broken
if CONFIG_OBJTOOL or CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled.
I only tested this with Debian, but it should work for other package
systems as well.

LLVM 19 is dropping support for 3DNow! in commit f0eb5587ceeb ("Remove
support for 3DNow!, both intrinsics and builtins. (#96246)"):
Remove support for 3DNow!, both intrinsics and builtins. (#96246)
This set of instructions was only supported by AMD chips starting in
the K6-2 (introduced 1998), and before the "Bulldozer" family
(2011). They were never much used, as they were effectively superseded
by the more-widely-implemented SSE (first implemented on the AMD side
in Athlon XP in 2001).
This is being done as a predecessor towards general removal of MMX
register usage. Since there is almost no usage of the 3DNow!
intrinsics, and no modern hardware even implements them, simple
removal seems like the best option.
Thus we should avoid passing these to the backend, since otherwise we
get a diagnostic about it:
'-3dnow' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
'-3dnowa' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
We could try to disable them only up to LLVM 19 (not the C side one,
but the one used by `rustc`, which may be built with a range of
LLVMs). However, to avoid more complexity, we can likely just remove
them altogether. According to Nikita [2]:
> I don't think it's needed because LLVM should not generate 3dnow
> instructions unless specifically asked to, using intrinsics that
> Rust does not provide in the first place.
Thus do so, like Rust did for one of their builtin targets [3].
For those curious: Clang will warn only about trying to enable them
(`-m3dnow{,a}`), but not about disabling them (`-mno-3dnow{,a}`), so
there is no change needed there.

Sets the `sysroot` field in rust-project.json which is now needed in
newer versions of rust-analyzer instead of the `sysroot_src` field.
Till [1] `rust-analyzer` used to guess the `sysroot` based on the
`sysroot_src` at [2]. Now `sysroot` is a required parameter for a
`rust-project.json` file. It is required because `rust-analyzer`
need it to find the proc-macro server [3].
In the current version of `rust-analyzer` the `sysroot_src` is only used
to include the inbuilt library crates (std, core, alloc, etc) [4]. Since
we already specify the core library to be included in the
`rust-project.json` we don't need to define the `sysroot_src`.
Code editors like VS Code try to use the latest version of rust-analyzer
(which is updated every week) instead of the version of rust-analyzer
that comes with the rustup toolchain (which is updated every six weeks
along with the rust version).
Without this change `rust-analyzer` is breaking for anyone using VS Code.
As they are getting the latest version of `rust-analyzer` with the
changes made in [1].
`rust-analyzer` will also start breaking for other developers as they
update their rust version (assuming that also updates the rust-analyzer
version on their system).
This patch should work with every setup as there is no more guess work
being done by `rust-analyzer`.
[ Lukas, who leads the rust-analyzer team, says:
`sysroot_src` is required now if you want to have the sysroot
source libraries be loaded. I think we used to infer it as
`{sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library` before when only the
`sysroot` field was given but that was since changed to make it
possible in having a sysroot without the standard library sources
(that is only have the binaries available). So if you want the
library sources to be loaded by rust-analyzer you will have to set
that field as well now.

The conversion from the old unistd.h file to syscall.tbl dropped the

other way on this.
The syscall was already gone in linux-3.1 before the current users
of the generic table (other than openrisc) first appeared, so nobody
could actally use it, but putting the number back helps for consistency
since there are build scripts that check the presence of all these
macros.

Despite multiple attempts to get the syscall number assignment right
for the newly added uretprobe syscall, we ended up with a bit of a mess:
- The number is defined as 467 based on the assumption that the
xattrat family of syscalls would use 463 through 466, but those
did not make it into 6.11.
- The include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h file still lists the number
463, but the new scripts/syscall.tbl that was supposed to have the
same data lists 467 instead as the number for arc, arm64, csky,
hexagon, loongarch, nios2, openrisc and riscv. None of these
architectures actually provide a uretprobe syscall.
- All the other architectures (powerpc, arm, mips, ...) don't list
this syscall at all.
There are two ways to make it consistent again: either list it with
the same syscall number on all architectures, or only list it on x86
but not in scripts/syscall.tbl and asm-generic/unistd.h.
Based on the most recent discussion, it seems like we won't need it
anywhere else, so just remove the inconsistent assignment and instead
move the x86 number to the next available one in the architecture
specific range, which is 335.

kbuild: rpm-pkg: ghost modules.weakdep file
kbuild: rpm-pkg: Fix C locale setup
After a recent change in clang to stop consuming all instances of '-S'
and '-c' [1], the stack protector scripts break due to the kernel's use
of -Werror=unused-command-line-argument to catch cases where flags are
not being properly consumed by the compiler driver:
$ echo | clang -o - -x c - -S -c -Werror=unused-command-line-argument
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-c' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
This results in CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR getting disabled because
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR is no longer set.
'-c' and '-S' both instruct the compiler to stop at different stages of
the pipeline ('-S' after compiling, '-c' after assembling), so having
them present together in the same command makes little sense. In this
case, the test wants to stop before assembling because it is looking at
the textual assembly output of the compiler for either '%fs' or '%gs',
so remove '-c' from the list of arguments to resolve the error.
All versions of GCC continue to work after this change, along with
versions of clang that do or do not contain the change mentioned above.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.
The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
plus beta, plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.
In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].
I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.

- Support several Rust toolchain versions.
- Support several bindgen versions.
- Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to

semicolon separation in LC_ALL is wrong. Either variable needs to be
exported before as a separate commit or set as part of the commit in the
beginning. Used second variant.
This fixes broken build on user's locale setup which makes 'date' binary
to produce invalid characters in rpm changelog (e.g. cs_CZ.UTF-8 'čec'):
$ make binrpm-pkg

rpmbuild -bb rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec --define='_topdirlinux/rpmbuild' \
--target x86_64-linux --build-in-place --noprep --define='_smp_mflags \
%{nil}' $(rpm -q rpm >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo --nodeps)

The struct sym_entry uses the 'seq' and 'start_pos' fields to remember
the index in the symbol table. They serve the same purpose and are not
used simultaneously. Unify them.

Commit bea5b74504 ("kallsyms: expand symbol name into comment for
debugging") added the uncompressed type/name in the comment lines of
kallsyms_offsets.
It would be useful to do the same for kallsyms_names and
kallsyms_seqs_of_names.

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates.
Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages:
* The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and
bootloader configuration
* Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks
* New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping
The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the
downstream Arch Linux "linux" package.
Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have
been removed and an UAPI header package has been added.
