<title>init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on HAS_IOMEM</title>

I read the commit log of the following two:

- bc083a64b6c0 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML")
- 334ef6ed06fa ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !S390")

Both are talking about HAS_IOMEM dependency missing in many drivers.

So, 'depends on HAS_IOMEM' seems the direct, sensible solution to me.

This does not change the behavior of UML. UML still cannot enable
COMPILE_TEST because it does not provide HAS_IOMEM.

The current dependency for S390 is too strong. Under the condition of
CONFIG_PCI=y, S390 provides HAS_IOMEM, hence can enable COMPILE_TEST.

I also removed the meaningless 'default n'.

<title>kbuild: rebuild GCC plugins when the compiler is upgraded</title>

Linus reported a build error due to the GCC plugin incompatibility
when the compiler is upgraded. [1]

GCC plugins are tied to a particular GCC version. So, they must be
rebuilt when the compiler is upgraded.

This seems to be a long-standing flaw since the initial support of
GCC plugins.

Extend commit 8b59cd81dc5e ("kbuild: ensure full rebuild when the
compiler is updated"), so that GCC plugins are covered by the
compiler upgrade detection.

<title>kbuild: fix UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST for Clang LTO</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit fbe078d397b4 ("kbuild: lto: add a default list of used symbols")
does not work as expected if the .config file has already specified
CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST="my/own/white/list" before enabling
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

So, the user-supplied whitelist and LTO-specific white list must be
independent of each other.

I refactored the shell script so CONFIG_MODVERSIONS and CONFIG_CLANG_LTO
handle whitelists in the same way.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "A handful of new RISC-V related patches for this merge window:

   - A check to ensure drivers are properly using uaccess. This isn't
     manifesting with any of the drivers I'm currently using, but may
     catch errors in new drivers.

   - Some preliminary support for the FU740, along with the HiFive
     Unleashed it will appear on.

   - NUMA support for RISC-V, which involves making the arm64 code
     generic.

   - Support for kasan on the vmalloc region.

   - A handful of new drivers for the Kendryte K210, along with the DT
     plumbing required to boot on a handful of K210-based boards.

   - Support for allocating ASIDs.

   - Preliminary support for kernels larger than 128MiB.

   - Various other improvements to our KASAN support, including the
     utilization of huge pages when allocating the KASAN regions.

  We may have already found a bug with the KASAN_VMALLOC code, but it's
  passing my tests. There's a fix in the works, but that will probably
  miss the merge window.

On systems with large amounts of reserved memory we may fail to
successfully complete unpack_to_rootfs() and be left with:

 Kernel panic - not syncing: write error

this is not too helpful to understand what happened, so let's wrap the
panic() calls with a surrounding show_mem() such that we have a chance of
understanding the memory conditions leading to these allocation failures.

Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled
correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages
have been freed.

Fix it via killing .init.text section breakpoints just prior to initmem
pages being freed.

Doug: "HW breakpoints aren't handled by this patch but it's probably
not such a big deal".

<title>init/version.c: remove Version_&lt;LINUX_VERSION_CODE&gt; symbol</title>

This code hunk creates a Version_&lt;LINUX_VERSION_CODE&gt; symbol if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled.  For example, building the kernel v5.10 for
allnoconfig creates the following symbol:

  $ nm vmlinux | grep Version_
  c116b028 B Version_330240

There is no in-tree user of this symbol.

Commit 197dcffc8ba0 ("init/version.c: define version_string only if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not defined") mentions that Version_* is only used
with ksymoops.

However, a commit in the pre-git era [1] had added the statement,
"ksymoops is useless on 2.6.  Please use the Oops in its original format".

That statement existed until commit 4eb9241127a0 ("Documentation:
admin-guide: update bug-hunting.rst") finally removed the stale
ksymoops information.

This symbol is no longer needed.

<title>lib: stackdepot: add support to disable stack depot</title>

Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot.  So
that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is
disabled.

The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on.  Without this
patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable.  By default,
it's 8M which is never trivial.

With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off,
stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted
memory for the hashtable.
