Linus Torvalds 25a01b5155 Merge tag 's390-7.2-1' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

Linus Torvalds a53fcff8fc Merge tag 'timers-nohz-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull NOHZ updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix a long standing TOCTOU in get_cpu_sleep_time_us()

 - Make the CPU offline NOHZ handling more robust by disabling NOHZ on
   the outgoing CPU early instead of creating unneeded state which needs
   to be undone.

 - Unify idle CPU time accounting instead of having two different
   accounting mechanisms. These two different mechanisms are not really
   independent, but the different properties can in the worst case cause
   that gloabl idle time can be observed going backwards.

 - Consolidate the idle/iowait time retrieval interfaces instead of
   converting back and forth between them.

 - Make idle interrupt time accounting more robust. The original code
   assumes that interrupt time accouting is enabled and therefore stops
   elapsing idle time while an interrupt is handled in NOHZ dyntick
   state. That assumption is not correct as interrupt time accounting
   can be disabled at compile and runtime.

 - Fix an accounting error between dyntick idle time and dyntick idle
   steal time. The stolen time is not accounted and therefore idle time
   becomes inaccurate. The stolen time is now accounted after the fact
   as there is no way to predict the steal time upfront.

Linus Torvalds a60ce761d9 Merge tag 'timers-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the time/timer core subsystem:

   - Harden the user space controllable hrtimer interfaces further to
     protect against unpriviledged DoS attempts by arming timers in the
     past.

   - Add per-capacity hierarchies to the timer migration code to prevent
     timer migration accross different capacity domains. This code has
     been disabled last minute as there is a pathological problem with
     SoCs which advertise a larger number of capacity domains. The
     problem is under investigation and the code won't be active before
     v7.3, but that turned out to be less intrusive than a full revert
     as it preserves the preparatory steps and allows people to work on
     the final resolution

   - Export time namespace functionality as a recent user can be built
     as a module.

   - Initialize the jiffies clocksource before using it. The recent
     hardening against time moving backward requires that the related
     members of struct clocksource have been initialized, otherwise it
     clamps the readout to 0, which makes time stand sill and causes
     boot delays.

   - Fix a more than twenty year old PID reference count leak in an
     error path of the POSIX CPU timer code.

   - The usual small fixes, improvements and cleanups all over the
     place"

Linus Torvalds 13e1a6d6a1 Merge tag 'irq-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

  - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling:

    /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time,
    but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework
    addresses the major time consuming issues:

      - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string
        instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string
        constant.

      - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be
        printed

      - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray
        instead of walking and testing one by one.

      - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the
        architecture specific counters

      - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which
        simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused
        architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing.
        Adopt the new core mechanisms.

    This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics
    to work with the new mechanisms.

  - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name
    creation code.

Linus Torvalds b079329b86 Merge tag 'rust-7.2' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "This one is big due to the vendoring of the `zerocopy` library, which
  allows us to replace a bunch of `unsafe` code dealing with conversions
  between byte sequences and other types with safe alternatives. More
  details on that below (and in its merge commit).

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Introduce support for the 'zerocopy' library [1][2]:

         Fast, safe, compile error. Pick two.

         Zerocopy makes zero-cost memory manipulation effortless. We write
         `unsafe` so you don't have to.

     It essentially provides derivable traits (e.g. 'FromBytes') and
     macros (e.g. 'transmute!') for safely converting between byte
     sequences and other types. Having such support allows us to remove
     some 'unsafe' code.

     It is among the most downloaded Rust crates and it is also used by
     the Rust compiler itself.

     It is licensed under "BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0 OR MIT".

     The crates are imported essentially as-is (only +2/-3 lines needed
     to be adapted), plus SPDX identifiers. Upstream has since added the
     SPDX identifiers as well as one of the tweaks at my request, thus
     reducing our future diffs on updates -- I keep the details in one
     of our usual live lists [3].

     In total, it is about ~39k lines added, ~32k without counting
     'benches/' which are just for documentation purposes.

     The series includes a few Kbuild and rust-analyzer improvements and
     an example patch using it in Nova, removing one 'unsafe impl'.

     I checked that the codegen of an isolated example function (similar
     to the Nova patch on top) is essentially identical. It also turns
     out that (for that particular case) the 'zerocopy' version, even
     with 'debug-assertions' enabled, has no remaining panics, unlike a
     few in the current code (since the compiler can prove the remaining
     'ub_checks' statically).

     So their "fast, safe" does indeed check out -- at least in that
     case.

   - Support AutoFDO. This allows Rust code to be profiled and optimized
     based on the profile. Tested with Rust Binder: ~13% slower without
     AutoFDO in the binderAddInts benchmark (using an app-launch
     benchmark for the profile).

   - Support Software Tag-Based KASAN.

     In addition, fix KASAN Kconfig by requiring Clang.

   - Add Kconfig options for each existing Rust KUnit test suite, such
     as 'CONFIG_RUST_BITMAP_KUNIT_TEST'.

     They are placed within a new menu, 'CONFIG_RUST_KUNIT_TESTS', in
     the new 'rust/kernel/Kconfig.test' file.

   - Support the upcoming Rust 1.98.0 release (expected 2026-08-20):
     lint cleanups and an unstable flag rename.

   - Disable 'rustdoc' documentation inlining for all prelude items,
     which bloats the generated documentation.

   - Ignore (in Git) and clean (in Kbuild) the (rarely) 'rustc'-generated
     '*.long-type-*.txt' files.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add new 'bitfield' module with the 'bitfield!' macro (extracted
     from the existing 'register!' one), which declares integer types
     that are split into distinct bit fields of arbitrary length.

     Each field is a 'Bounded' of the appropriate bit width (ensuring
     values are properly validated and avoiding implicit data loss) and
     gets several generated getters and setters (infallible, 'const' and
     fallible) as well as associated constants ('_MASK', '_SHIFT' and
     '_RANGE'). It also supports fields that can be converted from/to
     custom types, either fallibly ('?=>') or infallibly ('=>').

     For instance:

         bitfield! {
             struct Rgb(u16) {
                 15:11 blue;
                 10:5 green;
                 4:0 red;
             }
         }

         // Compile-time checks.
         let color = Rgb::zeroed().with_const_green::<0x1f>();

         assert_eq!(color.green(), 0x1f);
         assert_eq!(color.into_raw(), 0x1f << Rgb::GREEN_SHIFT);

     Add as well documentation and a test suite for it, as usual; and
     update the 'register!' macro to use it.

     It will be maintained by Alexandre Courbot (with Yury Norov as
     reviewer) under a new 'MAINTAINERS' entry: 'RUST [BITFIELD]'.

   - 'ptr' module: rework index projection syntax into keyworded syntax
     and introduce panicking variant.

     The keyword syntax ('build:', 'try:', 'panic:') is more explicit
     and paves the way of perhaps adding more flavors in the future,
     e.g. an 'unsafe' index projection.

     For instance, projections now look like this:

         fn f(p: *const [u8; 32]) -> Result {
             // Ok, within bounds, checked at build time.
             project!(p, [build: 1]);

             // Build error.
             project!(p, [build: 128]);

             // `OutOfBound` runtime error (convertible to `ERANGE`).
             project!(p, [try: 128]);

             // Runtime panic.
             project!(p, [panic: 128]);

             Ok(())
         }

     Update as well the users, which now look like e.g.

         // Pointer to the first entry of the GSP message queue.
         let data = project!(self.0.as_ptr(), .gspq.msgq.data[build: 0]);

   - 'build_assert' module: make the module the home of its macros
     instead of rendering them twice.

   - 'sync' module: add 'UniqueArc::as_ptr()' associated function.

   - 'alloc' module:

       - Fix the 'Vec::reserve()' doctest to properly account for the
         existing vector length in the capacity assertion.

       - Fix an incorrect operator in the 'Vec::extend_with()' 'SAFETY'
         comment; add a doc test demonstrating basic usage and the
         zero-length case.

   - Clean imports across several modules to follow the "kernel
     vertical" import style in order to minimize conflicts.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - User visible changes:

       - Do not generate 'non_snake_case' warnings for identifiers that
         are syntactically just users of a field name. This would allow
         all '#[allow(non_snake_case)]' in nova-core to be removed,
         which Gary will send to the nova tree next cycle.

       - Filter non-cfg attributes out properly in derived structs. This
         improves pin-init compatibility with other derive macros.

       - Insert projection types' where clause properly.

   - Other changes:

       - Bump MSRV to 1.82, plus associated cleanups.

       - Overhaul how init slots are projected. The new approach is
         easier to justify with safety comments.

       - Mark more functions as inline, which should help mitigate the
         super-long symbol name issue due to lack of inlining.

  rust-analyzer:

   - Support '--envs' for passing env vars for crates like 'zerocopy'.

  'MAINTAINERS':

   - Add the following reviewers to the 'RUST' entry:
       - Daniel Almeida
       - Tamir Duberstein
       - Alexandre Courbot
       - Onur Özkan

     They have been involved in the Rust for Linux project for about 7
     collective years and bring expertise across several domains, which
     will be very useful to have around in the future.

     Thanks everyone for stepping up!

  And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

Jan Polensky 3f70ebe638 s390: Enable Rust support
Enable building Rust code on s390 by wiring the architecture into the
kernel Rust infrastructure.

Add s390 to the Rust arch support documentation, provide the s390 Rust
target and required compiler flags, and set the bindgen target for
arch/s390. Adjust the Rust target generation and minimum rustc version
gating so the s390 setup is handled explicitly.

The Rust toolchain uses the "s390x" triple naming for the 64 bit target.

Rust support is currently incompatible with CONFIG_EXPOLINE, which
relies on compiler support for the -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= options. Therefore, select HAVE_RUST only when
EXPOLINE is disabled.

James Lee 29c5290733 modpost: Add __llvm_covfun and __llvm_covmap to section_white_list
Modpost emits hundreds of warnings when using Clang to build for ARCH=um
and CONFIG_GCOV=y. e.g.:
    vmlinux (__llvm_covfun): unexpected non-allocatable section.
    Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
    Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
    section definitions for use in .S files.

For example, when we use LLVM for a kunit user mode build with coverage:
    python3 tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build --make_options LLVM=1 \
        --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/default.config \
        --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/coverage_uml.config

The behaviour occurs when building the kernel for ARCH=um with code
coverage enabled. The warnings come from modpost's check_sec_ref
function, which ensures no sections reference others that will be
discarded. covfun and covmap sections must reference __init and __exit
sections to collect coverage data, triggering the modpost warning.

To suppress these warnings, these section names have been added to
modpost's whitelist. This is unlikely to suppress legitimate warnings as
Clang will only insert these sections when building with coverage, and
can be assumed to manage these references safely.

The err_repeated_inc test was added with an expected stderr fixture
that does not match the diagnostic printed by kconfig.

Running "make testconfig" currently fails in that test even though the
parser reports the duplicated include correctly:

  [stderr]
  Kconfig.inc1:4: error: repeated inclusion of Kconfig.inc3
  Kconfig.inc2:3: note: location of first inclusion of Kconfig.inc3

The fixture expects "Repeated" and "Location" with capital letters, but
the diagnostic emitted by scripts/kconfig/util.c uses lowercase words.
Update the fixture to match the real message.

Add 'make kconfig-sym-check', a static checker that finds Kconfig
symbols referenced in expressions (select, depends on, default, etc.)
but never defined via config/menuconfig anywhere in the tree. New
dangling symbols are reported as errors (exit 1) unless they are
listed in an exclusion file, e.g.

 KCONFIG_SYM_CHECK_EXCLUDES=sym-check-excludes make kconfig-sym-check

The exclusion file lists one symbol per line; blank lines and lines
starting with '#' are ignored.

The checker also warns about uppercase N/Y/M used as tristate literal
values following the same logic as checkpatch.

This new static checker is the script used for [1] with a few
improvements to avoid some false positives.

Starting with Rust 1.98.0 (expected 2026-08-20), the target spec will not
support `x86-softfloat` anymore [1]. Instead, `softfloat` should be used,
which is an alias. Otherwise, one gets:

      |
      = help: run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of built-in targets

Thus conditionally use one or the other depending on the version.

The alias has existed since Rust 1.95.0 (released 2026-04-16) [2], but
use the newer version instead to avoid changing how the build works for
existing compilers, at least until more testing takes place.

Rong Xu 9f2aee8f7d kbuild: distributed build support for Clang ThinLTO
Add distributed ThinLTO build support for the Linux kernel.
This new mode offers several advantages: (1) Increased
flexibility in handling user-specified build options.
(2) Improved user-friendliness for developers. (3) Greater
convenience for integrating with objtool and livepatch.

Note that "distributed" in this context refers to a term
that differentiates in-process ThinLTO builds by invoking
backend compilation through the linker, not necessarily
building in distributed environments.

Distributed ThinLTO is enabled via the
`CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST` Kconfig option. For example:
 > make LLVM=1 defconfig
 > scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST
 > make LLVM=1 oldconfig
 > make LLVM=1 vmlinux -j <..>

The build flow proceeds in four stages:
  1. Perform FE compilation, mirroring the in-process ThinLTO mode.
  2. Thin-link the generated IR files and object files.
  3. Find all IR files and perform BE compilation, using the flags
    stored in the .*.o.cmd files.
  4. Link the BE results to generate the final vmlinux.o.

NOTE: This patch currently implements the build for the main kernel
image (vmlinux) only. Kernel module support is planned for a
subsequent patch.

Tested on the following arch: x86, arm64, loongarch, and
riscv.

Alexandre Courbot d7231d8cb2 scripts: modpost: detect and report truncated buf_printf() output
buf_printf() uses a fixed-size stack buffer. vsnprintf() returns the
number of bytes that *would* have been written to that buffer, which can
be larger than the size of said buffer if the formatted string is too
long.

The problem is that whenever this happens buf_printf() currently passes
this length, unchecked, to buf_write(), which silently reads past the
stack buffer and copies invalid data into the output buffer.

Fix this by detecting vsnprintf() failures and truncations before
appending to the output buffer, and report a fatal error instead of
producing corrupt symbol names.

Nathan Chancellor ce3267a39a kbuild: Bump minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 17.0.1
The current minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel is 15.0.0.
However, there are two deficiencies compared to GCC that were fixed in
LLVM 17 that are starting to become more noticeable.

The first was a bug in LLVM's scope checker [1], where all labels in a
function were validated as potential targets of an asm goto statement,
even if they were not listed in the asm goto statement as targets. This
becomes particularly problematic when the cleanup attribute is used, as

  asm goto(... : label_a);
  ...
label_a:
  ...
  int var __free(foo);
  asm goto(... : label_b);
  ...
label_b:
  ...

will trigger an error since the scope checker will complain that the
cleanup variable would be skipped when jumping from the first asm goto
to label_b (which obviously cannot happen). This issue was the catalyst
for commit e2ffa15b9b ("kbuild: Disable CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT on
clang < 17"). Unfortunately, this issue is reproducible with regular asm
goto in addition to asm goto with outputs, so that change was not
entirely sufficient to avoid the issue altogether. As asm goto has
effectively been required since commit a0a12c3ed0 ("asm goto:
eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO") and the usage of the cleanup attribute
continues to grow across the tree, raising the minimum to a version that
avoids this issue altogether is a better long term solution than
attempting to workaround it at every spot where it happens.

The second issue is an incompatibility with GCC 8.1+ around variables
marked with const being valid constant expressions for _Static_assert
and other macros [2]. With GCC 8.1 being the minimum supported version
since commit 118c40b7b5 ("kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30"),
this incompatibility becomes more of a maintenance burden since only
clang-15 and clang-16 are affected by it.

Looking at the clang version of various major distributions through
Docker images, no one should be left behind as a result of this bump, as
the old ones cannot clear the current minimum of 15.0.0.

Alice Ryhl 72d33b8bfe rust: kasan: add support for Software Tag-Based KASAN
This adds support for Software Tag-Based KASAN (KASAN_SW_TAGS) when
CONFIG_RUST is enabled. This requires that rustc includes support for
the kernel-hwaddress sanitizer, which is available since 1.96.0 [1].

Unlike with clang, we need to pass -Zsanitizer-recover in addition to
-Zsanitizer because the option is not implied automatically.

The kasan makefile uses different names for the flags depending on
whether CC is clang or gcc, but as we require that CC is clang when
using KASAN, we do not need to try to handle mixed gcc/llvm builds when
Rust is enabled.

Alice Ryhl a960c2cdb1 kbuild: rust: add AutoFDO support
This patch enables AutoFDO build support for Rust code within the Linux
kernel. This allows Rust code to be profiled and optimized based on the
profile.

The RUSTFLAGS variable was suffixed with *_AUTOFDO_CLANG to match the
naming of the config option, which is called CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG.

This implementation has been verified in Android, first by inspecting
the object files and confirming that they look correct. After that,
it was verified as below:

1. Running the binderAddInts benchmark [1] with Rust Binder built as
   rust_binder.ko module, using a Pixel 9 Pro.
2. Collecting a profile on a Pixel 10 Pro XL using the app-launch
   benchmark, which starts different apps many times, on a device with
   Rust Binder as a built-in kernel module. (C Binder was not present on
   the device.)
3. Using the collected profile, run the binderAddInts benchmark again
   with Rust Binder built both as a rust_binder.ko module, and as a
   built-in kernel module.
4. In both cases, Rust Binder without AutoFDO was approximately 13%
   slower than the AutoFDO optimized version. Built-in vs .ko did not
   make a measurable performance difference.

All of the above was verified in conjunction with my helpers inlining
series [2], which confirmed that this worked correctly for helpers too
once [3] was fixed in the helpers inlining series.

The chip name column in the /proc/interrupt output is 8 characters and
right aligned, which causes visual clutter due to the fixed length and the
alignment. Many interrupt chips, e.g. PCI/MSI[X] have way longer names.

Update the length when a chip is assigned to an interrupt and utilize this

Thomas Gleixner 34594da765 genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four
Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture
specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc.

The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is
three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting
space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers
properly aligned.

Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid
of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all
architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the
same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more
uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as

Alice Ryhl 4a44b17406 rust: kasan/kbuild: fix rustc-option when cross-compiling
The Makefile version of rustc-option currently checks whether the option
exists for the host target instead of the target actually being compiled
for. It was done this way in commit 46e24a545c ("rust: kasan/kbuild:
fix missing flags on first build") to avoid a circular dependency on
target.json. However, because of this, rustc-option currently does not
function when cross-compiling from x86_64 to aarch64 if
CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK is enabled. This is because KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS
contains -Zfixed-x18 under this configuration. Since that flag does not
exist on the host target, rustc-option runs into a compilation failure
every time, leading to all flags being rejected as unsupported.

To fix this, update rustc-option to pass a --target parameter so that
the host target is not used. For targets using target.json, use a
built-in target that is as close as possible to the target created with
target.json to avoid the circular dependency on target.json.

One scenario where this causes a boot failure:
* Cross-compiled from x86_64 to aarch64.
* With CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK=y
* With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y
* With CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=n
Then the resulting kernel image will fail to boot when it first calls
into Rust code with a crash along the lines of "Unable to handle kernel
paging request at virtual address 0ffffffc08541796". This is because the
call threshold is not specified, so rustc will inline kasan operations,
but the kasan shadow offset is not specified, which leads to the inlined
kasan instructions being incorrect.

Note that the -Zsanitizer=kernel-hwaddress parameter itself does not
lead to a rustc-option failure despite being aarch64-specific because
RUSTFLAGS_KASAN has not yet been added to KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS when
rustc-option is evaluated by the kasan Makefile.

Paul E. McKenney 012c889690 checkpatch: Undeprecate rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace()
It turns out that there are BPF use cases that rely on nesting RCU
Tasks Trace readers.  These use cases are well-served by the old
rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace() functions that maintain
a nesting counter in the task_struct structure.  But these use cases incur
a performance penalty when using the shiny new rcu_read_lock_tasks_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_tasks_trace() functions, which nest in the same way
that SRCU does.

This means that rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace()
will be with us for some time.  Therefore, remove the checkpatch.pl
deprecation.

Also, the rcu_read_lock_tasks_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_tasks_trace()
functions are intended for use only by BPF.  Therefore, add them to
the list of functions that checkpatch complains about outside of BPF
(and of course, RCU).

The package versioning scheme does not enable smooth upgrades from "rc"
releases to the corresponding stable releases (e.g. 7.0.0-rc7 -> 7.0.0)
because pacman considers that a downgrade due to the underscore in
pkgver (e.g. 7.0.0_rc7), see e.g. vercmp(8) for an explanation of the
package version comparison used by pacman. Package versions which are
derived from said releases (e.g. built from git revisions) are
similarly affected. Fix this by modifying pkgver in order to remove the
hyphen from kernel versions containing "-rcN", where N is a
non-negative integer.

Hasan Basbunar 49f8fcde68 modpost: prevent stack buffer overflow in do_input_entry() and do_dmi_entry()
Several functions in scripts/mod/file2alias.c build the module alias
string by repeatedly appending into a fixed-size on-stack buffer:

	char alias[256] = {};
	...
	sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i);

This pattern is unbounded and silently corrupts the stack when the
formatted output exceeds the destination size. Two functions in this
file are realistically reachable with input that overflows their
buffer:

1. do_input_entry() appends across nine bitmap classes
   (evbit/keybit/relbit/absbit/mscbit/ledbit/sndbit/ffbit/swbit). The
   keybit case alone scans bits from INPUT_DEVICE_ID_KEY_MIN_INTERESTING
   (0x71) to INPUT_DEVICE_ID_KEY_MAX (0x2ff), 655 iterations; if a
   MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(input, ...) populates keybit[] densely, the
   emission reaches ~3132 bytes — overflowing the 256-byte buffer by
   about 12x. include/linux/mod_devicetable.h declares storage for the
   full bit range ("keybit[INPUT_DEVICE_ID_KEY_MAX / BITS_PER_LONG + 1]"),
   so the worst case is reachable per the ABI.

2. do_dmi_entry() emits one ":<prefix>*<filtered_substr>*" segment per
   matched DMI field, up to 4 matches per dmi_system_id. Each substr
   is sized as char[79] in struct dmi_strmatch (mod_devicetable.h:584),
   and dmi_ascii_filter() copies it verbatim into the alias buffer
   without bounds. Worst case: 4 × (1 + 3 + 1 + 79 + 1) = 336 bytes
   into alias[256], an 80-byte overflow.

No driver in the current tree triggers either case — every in-tree
INPUT_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_KEYBIT user populates keybit[] very sparsely
(1-3 bits), and no in-tree dmi_system_id has four maximally-long
matches. The concern is defense-in-depth: both unbounded sprintf
chains are silent stack-corruption primitives in a host build tool,
and the buffer sizes have not been revisited since the corresponding
code was first introduced.

The other do_*_entry() handlers in this file (do_usb_entry,
do_cpu_entry, do_typec_entry, ...) were audited and are bounded by
their input field sizes (uint16 IDs, fixed-length keys); their alias
buffers do not need this treatment.

Reproduced under AddressSanitizer with a stand-alone harness mirroring
do_input on a fully-populated keybit:

  ==18319==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow
  WRITE of size 2 at offset 288 in frame [32, 288) 'alias'
    #6 do_input poc.c:44

  Stack-canary build:
  Abort trap: 6  (strlen(alias)=3134, cap was 256-1)

Add a small alias_append() helper around vsnprintf with a remaining-
space check and call fatal() on overflow, matching the modpost style
for unrecoverable build conditions. do_input() takes the buffer size
as a new parameter; do_input_entry() and do_dmi_entry() pass
sizeof(alias) at every call site. dmi_ascii_filter() takes the
remaining buffer size as well and aborts on truncation. This bounds
every write into the on-stack buffers and turns the latent overflow
into a clean build error if it is ever reached.

Josh Poimboeuf fc0bb9915b objtool: Grow __cfi_* prefix symbols for all CFI+CALL_PADDING
For all CONFIG_CFI+CONFIG_CALL_PADDING configs, for C functions, the
__cfi_ symbols only cover the 5-byte kCFI type hash.  After that there
also N bytes of NOP padding between the hash and the function entry
which aren't associated with any symbol.

The NOPs can be replaced with actual code at runtime.  Without a symbol,
unwinders and tooling have no way of knowing where those bytes belong.

Grow the existing __cfi_* symbols to fill that gap.

Note that assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() aren't affected
by this issue, their __cfi_ symbols also cover the padding.

Also, CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS has no reason to exist: CONFIG_CALL_PADDING
is what causes the compiler to emit NOP padding before function entry
(via -fpatchable-function-entry), so it's the right condition for
creating prefix symbols.

Remove CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS, as it's no longer needed.  Simplify the
LONGEST_SYM_KUNIT_TEST dependency accordingly.  Rework objtool's
arguments a bit to handle the variety of prefix/cfi-related cases.

Josh Poimboeuf 225d16dd51 klp-build: Validate short-circuit prerequisites
The --short-circuit option implicitly requires that certain directories
are already in klp-tmp.  Enforce that to prevent confusing errors.

Josh Poimboeuf 3b8e56b86f objtool/klp: Remove "objtool --checksum"
The checksum functionality has been moved to "objtool klp checksum"
which is now used by klp-build.  Remove the now-dead --checksum and
--debug-checksum options from the default objtool command.
