<content type='text'>
The HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option has some tricky conditions
when KASAN or GCOV are turned on, as in that case we need some clang and
rustc fixes [1][2] to avoid boot failures. The intent with the current
setup is that you should be able to override the check and turn on the
option if your clang/rustc has the fix. However, this override does not
work in practice. Thus, use the new RUSTC_LLVM_VERSION to correctly
implement the check for whether the fix is available.

Additionally, remove KASAN_HW_TAGS from the list of incompatible
options. The CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option is incompatible with
KASAN because LLVM will emit some constructors when using KASAN that are
assigned incorrect CFI tags. These constructors are emitted due to use
of -fsanitize=kernel-address or -fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress that are
respectively passed when KASAN_GENERIC or KASAN_SW_TAGS are enabled.
However, the KASAN_HW_TAGS option relies on hardware support for MTE
instead and does not pass either flag. (Note also that KASAN_HW_TAGS
does not `select CONSTRUCTORS`.)

Each version of Rust supports a range of LLVM versions. There are cases where
we want to gate a config on the LLVM version instead of the Rust version.
Normalized cfi integer tags are one example [1].

The invocation of rustc-version is being moved from init/Kconfig to
scripts/Kconfig.include for consistency with cc-version.

<content type='text'>
There is a bug in the LLVM implementation of KASAN and GCOV that makes
these options incompatible with the CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option.

The bug has already been fixed in llvm/clang [1] and rustc [2]. However,
Kconfig currently has no way to gate features on the LLVM version inside
rustc, so we cannot write down a precise `depends on` clause in this
case. Instead, a `def_bool` option is defined for whether
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS is available, and its default value is set
to false when GCOV or KASAN are turned on. End users using a patched
clang/rustc can turn on the HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option
directly to override this.

An alternative solution is to inspect a binary created by clang or rustc
to see whether the faulty CFI tags are in the binary. This would be a
precise check, but it would involve hard-coding the *hashed* version of
the CFI tag. This is because there's no way to get clang or rustc to
output the unhased version of the CFI tag. Relying on the precise
hashing algorithm using by CFI seems too fragile, so I have not pursued
this option. Besides, this kind of hack is exactly what lead to the LLVM
bug in the first place.

If the CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option is used without CONFIG_RUST,
then we actually can perform a precise check today: just compare the
clang version number. This works since clang and llvm are always updated
in lockstep. However, encoding this in Kconfig would give the
HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option a dependency on CONFIG_RUST,
which is not possible as the reverse dependency already exists.

HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS is defined to be a `def_bool` instead
of `bool` to avoid asking end users whether they want to turn on the
option. Turning it on explicitly is something only experts should do, so
making it hard to do so is not an issue.

I added a `depends on CFI_CLANG` clause to the new Kconfig option. I'm
not sure whether that makes sense or not, but it doesn't seem to make a
big difference.

In a future kernel release, I would like to add a Kconfig option similar
to CLANG_VERSION/RUSTC_VERSION for inspecting the version of the LLVM
inside rustc. Once that feature lands, this logic will be replaced with
a precise version check. This check is not being introduced here to
avoid introducing a new _VERSION constant in a fix.

<title>rust: KASAN+RETHUNK requires rustc 1.83.0</title>

When enabling both KASAN and RETHUNK, objtool emits the following
warnings:

    rust/core.o: warning: objtool: asan.module_ctor+0x13: 'naked' return found in MITIGATION_RETHUNK build
    rust/core.o: warning: objtool: asan.module_dtor+0x13: 'naked' return found in MITIGATION_RETHUNK build

This is caused by the -Zfunction-return=thunk-extern flag in rustc not
informing LLVM about the mitigation at the module level (it does so at
the function level only currently, which covers most cases, but both
are required), which means that the KASAN functions asan.module_ctor
and asan.module_dtor are generated without the rethunk mitigation.

The other mitigations that we enabled for Rust (SLS, RETPOLINE) do not
have the same bug, as they're being applied through the target-feature
functionality instead.

This is being fixed for rustc 1.83.0, so update Kconfig to reject this
configuration on older compilers.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
     objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
     mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
     should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
     object files.

   - KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.

   - Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
     change.

   - Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
     conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
     places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
     manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
     machinery for that.

   - Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
     the RANDSTRUCT plugin.

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
     counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
     unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
     'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
     pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
     itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
     into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
     field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
     heterogeneous lists.

   - New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
     upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
     node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
     'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
     (bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
     an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.

   - 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
     'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.

   - 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
     introducing an associated type in the trait.

   - 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.

   - 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
     'Pin&lt;Box&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
     add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.

   - 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
     32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
     those.

  Documentation:

   - https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.

   - Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
     bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.

   - Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
     the freeze period), so add it to the list.

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Trevor is joining as reviewer of the "RUST" entry.

     should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
     object files.

   - KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.

   - Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
     change.

   - Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
     conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
     places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
     manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
     machinery for that.

   - Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
     the RANDSTRUCT plugin.

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
     counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
     unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
     'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
     pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
     itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
     into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
     field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
     heterogeneous lists.

   - New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
     upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
     node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
     'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
     (bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
     an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.

   - 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
     'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.

   - 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
     introducing an associated type in the trait.

   - 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.

   - 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
     'Pin&lt;Box&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
     add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.

   - 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
     32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
     those.

  Documentation:

   - https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.

   - Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
     bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.

   - Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
     the freeze period), so add it to the list.

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Trevor is joining as reviewer of the "RUST" entry.

Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
 "This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
  sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
  programs.

  The goals of this are:

   - Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
     of new scheduling policies.

   - Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
     implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
     schedulers.

   - Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
     policies in production environments"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

   - "mm: memory_hotplug: improve do_migrate_range()" from Kefeng Wang.

     allocator __GFP_NOFAIL and GFP_ATOMIC flags.

   - "mm: split underused THPs" from Yu Zhao. Improve THP=always policy.
     This was overprovisioning THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas.

   - "zram: introduce custom comp backends API" frm Sergey Senozhatsky.
     Add support for zram run-time compression algorithm tuning.

   - "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

   - "mm: memory_hotplug: improve do_migrate_range()" from Kefeng Wang.

     improve related doc and warn" from Jason Wang: fixes usage of page
     allocator __GFP_NOFAIL and GFP_ATOMIC flags.

   - "mm: split underused THPs" from Yu Zhao. Improve THP=always policy.
     This was overprovisioning THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas.

   - "zram: introduce custom comp backends API" frm Sergey Senozhatsky.
     Add support for zram run-time compression algorithm tuning.

   - "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped
     area" from Mark Brown. Fix up the various arch_get_unmapped_area()
     implementations to better respect guard areas.

   - "Improve mem_cgroup_iter()" from Kinsey Ho. Improve the reliability
     of mem_cgroup_iter() and various code cleanups.

     a couple more code paths to correctly recover from the encountering
     of poisoned memry.

   - "mm: enable large folios swap-in support" from Barry Song. Support
     the swapin of mTHP memory into appropriately-sized folios, rather
