scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh presently displays module symbols as
func+0x0ff/0x5153 [module]
Add a third argument: the pathname of a directory where the script
should look for the file module.ko so that the output appears as
func (foo/bar.c:123) module
Without the argument or if the module file isn't found the script prints
such symbols as is without decoding.

able to eliminate the DocBook dependency and have a much better
integrated set of kernel docs. Someday.
Beyond that, there's a new document on security hardening from Kees,
the movement of some sample code over to samples/, a number of
improvements to the serial docs from Geert, and the usual collection
of corrections, typo fixes, etc"

gcc-6 started warning by default about variables that are not
used anywhere and that are marked 'const', generating many
false positives in an allmodconfig build, e.g.:
arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da830-evm.c:282:20: warning: 'da830_evm_emif25_pins' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
arch/arm/plat-omap/dmtimer.c:958:34: warning: 'omap_timer_match' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/bluetooth/hci_bcm.c:625:39: warning: 'acpi_bcm_default_gpios' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c:92:18: warning: 'reg_map_omap4' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/devfreq/exynos/exynos5_bus.c:381:32: warning: 'exynos5_busfreq_int_pm' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/dma/mv_xor.c:1139:34: warning: 'mv_xor_dt_ids' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
This is similar to the existing -Wunused-but-set-variable warning
that was added in an earlier release and that we disable by default
now and only enable when W=1 is set, so it makes sense to do
the same here. Once we have eliminated the majority of the
warnings for both, we can put them back into the default list.
We probably want this in backport kernels as well, to allow building
them with gcc-6 without introducing extra warnings.

Currently, arg-check is implemented as follows:
arg-check = $(strip $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)), $(cmd_$@)) \
$(filter-out $(cmd_$@), $(cmd_$(1))) )
This does not care about the order of arguments that appear in
$(cmd_$(1)) and $(cmd_$@). So, if_changed and friends never rebuild
the target if only the argument order is changed. This is a problem
when the link order is changed.
Apparently,
obj-y += foo.o
obj-y += bar.o
and
obj-y += bar.o
obj-y += foo.o
should be distinguished because the link order determines the probe
order of drivers. So, built-in.o should be rebuilt when the order
of objects is changed.
This commit fixes arg-check to compare the old/current commands
including the argument order.
Of course, this change has a side effect; Kbuild will react to the
change of compile option order. For example, "-DFOO -DBAR" and
"-DBAR -DFOO" should give no difference to the build result, but
false positive should be better than false negative.
I am moving space_escape to the top of Kbuild.include just for a
matter of preference. In practical terms, space_escape can be
defined after arg-check because arg-check uses "=" flavor, not ":=".
Having said that, collecting convenient variables in one place makes
sense from the point of readability.
Chaining "%%%SPACE%%%" to "_-_SPACE_-_" is also a matter of taste
at this point. Actually, it can be arbitrary as long as it is an
unlikely used string. The only problem I see in "%%%SPACE%%%" is
that "%" is a special character in "$(patsubst ...)" context. This
commit just uses "$(subst ...)" for arg-check, but I am fixing it now
in case we might want to use it in $(patsubst ...) context in the
future.

If choices consist of choice_values of type tristate that depend on
symbols set to 'm', those choice_values are not set to 'n' if the
choice is changed from 'm' to 'y' (in which case only one active
choice_value is allowed). Those values are also written to the config
file causing modules to be built when they should not.
The following config can be used to reproduce and examine the problem;
with the frontend of your choice set "Choice 0" and "Choice 1" to 'm',
then set "Tristate Choice" to 'y' and save the configuration:
config modules
boolean modules
default y
option modules
config dependency
tristate "Dependency"
default m
choice
prompt "Tristate Choice"
default choice0
config choice0
tristate "Choice 0"
config choice1
tristate "Choice 1"
depends on dependency
endchoice
This patch sets tristate choice_values' visibility that depend on
symbols set to 'm' to 'n' if the corresponding choice is set to 'y'.
This makes them disappear from the choice list and will also cause the
choice_values' value set to 'n' in sym_calc_value() and as a result
they are written as "not set" to the resulting .config file.

In kernel/cgroup.c there is:

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_enabled_key); \
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_on_dfl_key);
The expansion of this macro causes multiple EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instances
to appear on the same preprocessor line output, confusing the sed script
expecting only one of them per line. Unfortunately this can't be fixed
nicely in the sed script as sed's regexp can't do non greedy matching.
Fix this by turning any semicolon into a line break before filtering.

Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading
of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible
value fails.
For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible
"fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960". Since the
driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific
integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table.
This results in the device compatible
"of:NvpuT<NULL>Cfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias
"of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369ab79
("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it
matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*".
This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the
wildcard and one with "C*" appended.
$ modinfo coda | grep imx6q
alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC*
alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu

Also recognize standalone "prompt".
Before this patch we incorrectly identified some symbols as not having a
prompt and potentially needing to be selected by something else.
Note that this patch could theoretically change the resulting .config,
causing it to have fewer symbols turned on. However, given the current set
of Kconfig files, this situation does not occur because the symbols newly
added to %prompts are absent from %selects.

In order to protect against file removal races, debugfs files created via
debugfs_create_file() now get wrapped by a struct file_operations at their
opening.
If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against removal
races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed by creating
the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe().
In order to help debugfs users who use the common
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file()
idiom to transition to removal safe struct file_operations, the helper
macro DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() has been introduced.
Thus, the preferred strategy is to use
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
now.
Introduce a Coccinelle script that searches for
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE()-defined struct file_operations handed into
debugfs_create_file(). Suggest to turn these usages into the
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
pattern.

On ARM, the linker may emit veneers to deal with relative branch
instructions that appear too far away from their targets. Since the
second kallsyms pass results in an increase of the kernel size, it may
result in additional veneers to be emitted, potentially affecting the
output of kallsyms itself if these symbols are visible to it, and for
that reason, symbols whose names end in '_veneer' are ignored explicitly.
However, when building Thumb2 kernels, such veneers are named differently
if they also incur a mode switch, and since they are not filtered by
kallsyms, they may cause the build to fail. So filter symbols whose names
end in '_from_arm' or '_from_thumb' as well.

The check for a failed open on headername is incorrectly checking
on the out FILE pointer rather than the hdr. Fix this.

The newly added dtc warning to check DT unit-address without reg
property and vice-versa generates lots of warnings. Turn off the check
unless building with W=1 or W=2.

Given the list of exported symbols needed by all modules, we can create
a header file containing preprocessor defines for each of those symbols.
Also, when some symbols are added and/or removed from the list, we can
update the time on the corresponding files used as build dependencies for
those symbols. And finally, if any symbol did change state, the
corresponding source files must be rebuilt.
The insertion or removal of an EXPORT_SYMBOL() entry within a module may
create or remove the need for another exported symbol. This is why this
operation has to be repeated until the list of needed exported symbols
becomes stable. Only then the final kernel and modules link take place.

Like with kconfig options, we now have the ability to compile in and
out individual EXPORT_SYMBOL() declarations based on the content of
include/generated/autoksyms.h. However we don't want the entire
world to be rebuilt whenever that file is touched.
Let's apply the same build dependency trick used for CONFIG_* symbols
where the time stamp of empty files whose paths matching those symbols
is used to trigger fine grained rebuilds. In our case the key is the
symbol name passed to EXPORT_SYMBOL().
However, unlike config options, we cannot just use fixdep to parse
the source code for EXPORT_SYMBOL(ksym) because several variants exist
and parsing them all in a separate tool, and keeping it in synch, is
not trivially maintainable. Furthermore, there are variants such as
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_user_read_config_##size);
that are instanciated via a macro for which we can't easily determine
the actual exported symbol name(s) short of actually running the
preprocessor on them.
Storing the symbol name string in a special ELF section doesn't work
for targets that output assembly or preprocessed source.
So the best way is really to leverage the preprocessor by having it
output actual symbol names anchored by a special sequence that can be
easily filtered out. Then the list of symbols is simply fed to fixdep
to be merged with the other dependencies.
That implies the preprocessor is executed twice for each source file.
A previous attempt relied on a warning pragma for each EXPORT_SYMBOL()
instance that was filtered apart from stderr by the build system with
a sed script during the actual compilation pass. Unfortunately the
preprocessor/compiler diagnostic output isn't stable between versions
and this solution, although more efficient, was deemed too fragile.
Because of the lowercasing performed by fixdep, there might be name
collisions triggering spurious rebuilds for similar symbols. But this
shouldn't be a big issue in practice. (This is the case for CONFIG_*
symbols and I didn't want to be different here, whatever the original
reason for doing so.)
To avoid needless build overhead, the exported symbol name gathering is
performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.
